USE THE NIGHT

A young man reached out to me some time ago and said to me, “You dropped a note for me some years back with the words, ‘Great men make use of the night.’ Sir, that brought a shift in my life.” He backed it up with a Thank You seed. See these verses: Ex. 14:20- “…throughout the NIGHT…”Ex. 14:21- “…all […]

PLATFORMS ARE TESTS

One of my dear ones had an invitation to teach in a church. When he returned, what I heard gladdened my heart as a pastor. Someone said to him, “You are not the same person I used to know.” This was in reference to the capacity with which he ministered. Beloved, when doors open for you, they are your tests. […]

YOUR SPIRITUAL WALK AND “FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHT”

About ten years ago, my sister-in-law came to Eruwa a few weeks before delivery. During her stay, her office requested that she needed to come and get some things fixed. It was meant to be a short trip to and fro for a maximum of five hours. I thought I could catch up with office work. As the day turned […]

INTIMACY DOES NOT COME CHEAP

When mobile phones were just getting popular, there were just a few people who had phones, and there were a few places where we had connections; I remember my parents would drive quite some distance to find the network to make calls. It was a sacrifice. When it improved, I remember hanging the phone on the window at the exact […]

BURDENED YET BLESSING OTHERS 

Some years ago, I was seated by my daughter, who was admitted to the hospital. It has been days of physical, financial, and spiritual demands. At the same time, I was doing my best to help a dear one in another city find help through a naughty case that was almost becoming a criminal. It was not one of the […]

YOUR OBEDIENCE; ANOTHER’S REJOICING 

I was returning from a trip to the South-South about ten years ago. A dear one picked me up at the Airport in Lagos. He was to drop me off at the park so I could pick up a cab to Ibadan en route to Eruwa.  Just before we got to the car park, he pulled out a pack and […]

JUST BEFORE YOU BECOME A BALAAM…

I was on my way to a meeting when some of the things we needed at home at the season began to flash through my mind. I quickly shoved it aside because I reasoned already that once I get the honorarium where I was heading, the needs would be solved.  As simple as it seems, I knew it was a […]

DO NOT KILL YOUR ABEL: DRAW CLOSE IN HUMILITY AND LEARN

One of the greatest blessings I have had in the past year is a dear brother and sister who are also amazing ministers of the gospel. Our mental shift started when we decided to attend one of their major meetings. When we got there and saw the organization’s operations, we knew we had to learn the wisdom behind the operations. […]

BELOVED, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE!

Just as we were wrapping up the communion service, I sensed a prompt in my heart that it was still possible to use our new facility for the 10th anniversary and convention of the Church. I asked the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong, and I understood.  But that evening, I requested that […]

IT IS NOT NORMAL: DO NOT TAKE RESISTANCE AS CIRCUMSTANCE

I pastor young people in a very unique setting. Let me explain- the average young person in the town is either a student, a corp member, an indigene looking for greener pastures or a worker seeking to be transferred to the city. Some folks would leave their families in cities while they work in our community. They often travel to […]
