Years ago, I walked up to my pastor after service to exchange greetings with him. At that same moment, a young girl also walked up to him. Pastor did not blink an eye at what she wore. I was already a bit shocked. The pastor said to her, “I heard you have gained admission into the University now”. She replied […]
As that priceless soul sat in front of me that day, I heard those words: “Sir, I feel nothing. I have done a lot of things wrong in my life”. From getting sexually involved with close relatives to having an abortion. She had been through all. I began to talk to her about God’s love, emphasizing that in Christ, her […]
As a teenager and the son of a Pastor, every Sunday evening was dedicated to evangelism. We would normally go from house to house. We went to different parts of town. One evening, the only adult with us was not heading back to church because her house was close by. I and another teenager had to return to church. As […]
Some time ago, we were in an appraisal meeting in the ministry- looking circumspectly at the vision and things that have driven it this far. We concluded that there were things we lost because we wanted to copy something else. We concluded that “We must be secure in our model.” One of the things you must pray for in life […]
When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decide to get married, they must understand certain things. The first thing Irewamiri and I told ourselves was that we would save aggressively as we looked toward marriage. The second was a simple principle: Whenever we are out of money, we would […]
We were travelling from Eruwa to Lagos. We had the first delay at the entry point to Abeokuta. We ran into a ditch, and the exhaust pipe got broken. We spent about two hours fixing that. Some minutes after moving, we got into heavy traffic. There was another delay of about an hour or more. One of my dear ones […]
There was a Sunday afternoon that issues just began to brew. Irewamiri and I did not seem to find our sync and rhythm. She even strolled from the house for some hours. We would normally resolve all matters, no matter what, before going to bed. That night, I pranked her, but it solved the matter. I told her that our […]
A beloved one came to visit me some years ago. He had just landed his second job. We were both super excited about the possibilities of his life. But I had a prompt to ask him about his tithes and he admitted he was not paying tithes as he used to. I encouraged him to always pay his tithe. (Tithing […]
A member of the church asked another member some years ago, “Does the Pastor see your status? Because if he sees this your status, I am sure by now you would have gotten a message from him!” What was the issue? She was indecently dressed with her cleavage out, and she paraded it on her status. Christianity and indecency are […]
A dear minister friend shared how a protégé called him once and said she had a dream where an ant bit her on her breast. She wanted to talk to him. He simply referred her to his wife. Those were not conversations meant for him. The relationship between a minister and the people he leads can be one that has […]
