“PASTOR, DON’T CARRY HIM”

In our former location, we had a neighbour who sold alcohol in a makeshift wooden structure. In the early days of ministry, it was obvious she did not want us as a neighbour. She would put on her grinding machine on a Sunday morning and make really loud noises. There were times she would start cooking and the aroma of […]

DO NOT UNDERRATE LAUGHTER 

My Mum taught me this spiritual lesson with her life: Mum lost her sight many years ago. In the early days of losing her sight, she wanted to sit down in her office. It was a chair with two arms. She felt the arm of the chair to get the right spot but unfortunately, she forgot to touch the second […]

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IS NOT ABOUT AGE BUT UNDERSTANDING 

Many years back, I was visiting my uncle and aunt in the city of Lagos. They have amazing children. The youngest daughter was about four years old at the time. One evening, my aunt, her elder sister, and I were having an informal conversation in the girl’s room.  My little niece stepped out of the restroom with a towel around […]

DEAR HUSBAND, THE BODY MUST NOT FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAD 

My dear teacher said, “When a person is moving, it is a seamless cooperation between the head and the body. That is a sign of good health. However, when the body begins to feel the weight of the head, there is already sickness in the system.” When you have a headache, for instance, the head becomes heavier. The entire system […]

HONOUR YOUR IN-LAWS 

On the journey to marriage, we had to embark on family visits. There were quite some opposing voices already. They had legitimate fears about our intention to get married. In the heat of it, we visited an elderly one. He did not mince words when he said to me, “Are you sure you will not be a liability to your […]

THE ARTWORK ON THE WALL (The Power Of Generational Investments)

I was invited to speak in a meeting some years back. I was in the house of my host when he pointed to an artwork on the wall and said, “Your Dad and Mum gave me as a wedding gift. Those words are priceless. They shaped my value towards diligence.” At that moment, it struck me that “Can my children […]

YOU HAVE A GREATER APPOINTMENT

I was driving that evening through some of the interesting areas of the city to catch up with an appointment with my spiritual father. The GPS already told me it will take me about an hour to get to him.  Just some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space […]

WHEN THE PIZZA DOES NOT COME

I woke up that morning still thinking of the Pizza. I had longed to have some pizza for a while- that is matured hunger and thirst for the taste of pizza.  I struck a deal with a friend coming to Eruwa. I followed up like it was a convert. My friend bought the pizza but guess what, she forgot it […]

WE TRUSTED THE G.P.S

We were visiting Lagos a while back and just as we approached Lagos, I engaged Google Maps. Even though we had been to that location several times, we did not want to rely on our personal experience.  Google Maps at a point said it had found a better route and asked if I would want the alternative. I accepted. It […]

“TEMI, TEMI”- THE CALL OF THE MAN I DID NOT RECOGNISE 

Irewamiri and I checked into a hotel on a trip out of town. We walked into the restaurant of the hotel to order a meal. Afterward, we went into our room. I remembered that I had to pick a thing from the vehicle.  As I stepped out, a man beckoned on me saying “Timi, Timi…” (He got the pronunciation of […]
