YOU HAVE VICTORY OVER SIN!

Some years ago, I was witnessing to a colleague inside a restaurant. After I shared the gospel with him and asked if he would surrender his life to Christ, he threw a subtle punch at me, “Pastor, have you kissed before?” I said, “Yes, but I would not do it again till I am married.”  Beloved, every Saint has a […]

IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE ABOVE SIN!

A dear son placed an image on social media, and his friend responded with words that gave glory to God and turned a drug addict into a Christ lover. His story still delights me each time I think about it.  He was coming to church, but he was still struggling with addiction. He would leave the church to smoke his […]

I witnessed impartation and deliverance. She jokingly said once that someone informed her to stop conducting deliverance during my pregnancy so that […]

DO NOT JOKE WITH WORDS!

We enjoyed riding bicycles as children. Our neighbours had two different sizes. We would all converge and have some fun cycling. One evening, it had just finished raining, and we were cycling on the long corridor of their home. It was fun circling the pillars and showcasing skill. When it was the turn of a dear brother, he had bread […]

HOW TO OVERCOME STRANGE HABITS

I grew up seeing the changes in the world of technology. I saw the diskettes, some of the “big box” visual display units. I saw how these things began to change right before us.  As a young boy, I was visiting with an uncle during that era. He had a computer and internet linked to it. When I got the […]

STOP HIDING!

There was a standing rule by the Dad of our childhood friends – no games on weekdays. Another standing rule was that “You read till noon on Saturdays before you can have access to games.” They had the highest number of childhood games in the neighbourhood- TV games, Handheld Games (Nintendo), Board Games, and even bicycles. How do you want […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING): 8

After I had done the first six months as a church pastor, I sent a mail to my Pastor. He did not respond to the mail, but graciously, we got to see when I visited the city for a meeting.  I was already getting excited and becoming proud of the community work we were involved in as a young church […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING): 7

As we stepped out of the morning session for the biggest event of the year in my spiritual grandfather’s ministry, he spotted me while heading to his office with some of the guest ministers. He said, “Son, make sure you see me before you leave.”  It was a tussle getting into the office area because of all the heavy protocol, […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING): 6

A few months into starting in ministry, I needed to help a friend speak with someone, but I had no airtime. So I messaged my friend the contact of the person instead. I knew she would be attended to once she mentioned my name.  She was shocked that I did not have airtime to make a call. “Ah! Do you […]
