WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT?

I saw a post referring to a situation that involved some indecent exposure and nudity. Instantly, I became inquisitive to know what the matter was and who was involved. As I proceeded to the search option to begin my investigative journey, the Holy Spirit stepped in and asked, “Why do you have to check it?” I realized I was just […]

DO NOT MANAGE A DEAD BATTERY

For some weeks, my car battery kept giving tell-tale signs of weakness. There were times I used the battery of another car to get it going. It then worked perfectly all day. But once it was left overnight, it would not start in the morning. I would need another car battery to get it going again. At a point, I […]

THERE IS MORE YOU CAN BE IF YOU GROW

I took a walk to the generator house in the church as I prayed in gratitude under my breath. I was telling God how grateful we were for all He had done for us in His favour. Then like a burst of light, I remembered that we had gadgets that we could not use because of the weight of power […]

“DADDY, IS THIS YOUR SPONGE?”

Olive walked up to me in the living room and said, “Daddy, your sponge is in your bathroom”. She held on to a sponge that looked just like mine. I told her it was not mine. “Daddy, who is the owner?” was the next question. I responded that I was not sure. I told her to return it to their […]

THE WEIGHT OF MISTAKES

A dear father who is active in missions and church planting in unreached terrains shared a story that has not left my mind. It happened in one of the villages where he went to plant a church. While he was preaching one evening with the help of an interpreter, a lady in the audience who could not control herself any […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (9)

Danielle came to sit on my lap as I savoured the rice and goat meat. She definitely wanted some. I gave her about two spoons of rice. Then her focus changed, she wants “fish”- (i.e meat). I picked up a tiny part of the meat and gave her. She shook her head. I told her it was meat. She still […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (8)

He is a key person in the church. He walked to my office and said to me, “Pastor, I am sorry I did not say this earlier. I will leave service to speak somewhere”. I responded, “You can go but when you return, we have a discussion”. Friends, platforms and invitations are exciting. They always seem like an affirmation that […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (7)

My late Grandfather queried that day, “What is Anuoluwapo doing? Is he opening a law office? Why can’t he open a law office alongside ministry also?” My dad was there to rescue me from the questions as I just looked at Grandpa at that dining table in Eruwa. Dad said to him, “He has made a wise choice. I really […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (6)

That morning in his office, I told him: “Sir, I simply want to ask that I learn from you. Baba is a General. You are a Major General. There are things Baba will say that will take me years to understand. Can I constantly seek explanations from you too sir?” That question redefined a lot of things for me in […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (5)

For the first 3 years of my pastoring work, I simply thought I could get the work done by being prayerful, studious, and preaching skillfully. Honestly, I tried my best. I preached some great sermons but I missed it at the very core- I thought I could figure it out myself. A major mistake that many young people make is […]
