PRAYER IS NOT TOO MUCH

As we began to pray, I said to my team in the ministry: “This feels so good”. Ithen added that it had been a while since we prayed together. As I mentioned that, I began to ask myself why. It struck me that the challenge was that the hours of congregational prayers had increased as instructed by the Lord for […]

IT TAKES COMMITMENT AND NEVER CONVENIENCE 

In the early days of GSM phones, the network was quite terrible and not yet widespread in Eruwa, but it was the season that ‘youthful Temi’ had just fallen in love. The network issues would never deter me from communication.  I would place my phone on one of the high louvre blades and connect an earpiece to it. I could […]

LET THAT STRANGE DESIRE DIE ON THE ALTAR

One of my brothers gave his car to someone else to drive. The car overheated. The person did not see the warning signs. He kept driving the car until the engine stopped running. Obviously, that led to greater problems.  One of the things that coming to the altar does is to reveal tendencies that you have that must be addressed. […]

BUILD TRENCHES AROUND YOUR ALTAR

When we were kids, we had quite some poultry farmers around us. One of the things I noticed that they did was that they protected their cages. How they did it was simple but effective. They would never place the base of the cage on the bare floor. They would place it in a tin filled with oil or water. […]

PROTECT YOUR HOUR OF PRAYER!

A dear teacher was sharing about how she became really sad during one of her birthdays. Her friends came around, and they had just one common statement to make- “Tone down your spirituality.” They accused her that there were times they would be together, and she would ask for time to withdraw and pray. They felt she was being excessive […]

MASTER THIS IF YOU WILL AMOUNT TO ANYTHING IN LIFE…

One of the things I wouldn’t say I liked while growing up was the annual twenty-one days fast. As a pastor’s child, it was our annual convention month. We were encouraged to fast. Well! It is not as though there would be cooked food anyway. It was always tough, so I came up with a “strategic fasting plan.” As a […]

HAVE A TIME OF PRAYER

We had two dogs in our neighbourhood as young lads. One was Jack. The other was called Jill. They were our beloved pets. Jack had a unique habit. A few minutes to 4 pm, Jack would be at the door of our house. We noticed the pattern much later.  Jack knew that my mum would exit the home about that […]

SENSITIVITY AND OBEDIENCE CAN PREVENT LOSSES

About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office.  I took the cash and […]

STOP DISRUPTING DIVINE PROCESS WITH HUMAN IMPATIENCE

When my second daughter was a little younger, she would, at times, wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most of the time is to carry her right […]
