COMPASS DEVOTIONALS AT 10 (3): NEVER CHOOSE THE GIFT OVER THE GIVER

As the readership of the devotional writing began to increase in the early days of writing, I made a shocking discovery – I was under the burden of performance.  Even when I did not have my devotion, I was still struggling to write so that people could read. When I realized, I would release a note that I was taking […]

APPRECIATE CONSISTENCY

When a dear one mentioned that he wanted to resign to launch into entrepreneurship. I wanted to ask one or two questions. I asked whether he already has mastered the business end of his current employment. Is he still thinking like an employee or he is now thinking like a business owner? Do you just see how your salary is […]

APPRECIATE YOUR OWN SPOUSE

A dear sister mentioned that she noticed a man in church had developed a habit of walking up to her after service to commend her appearance.  When she noticed that it had become a pattern, she came up with a plan. The next time he showed up, rather than acknowledge his greetings, she walked him to his own wife and […]

APPRECIATE CLOSED DOORS

We were house hunting a while back. We saw a house that fit our desires. We spoke with the agent in charge of the house. He contacted the Landlord, and we fixed a time to inspect the house. We took a trip to meet up with the appointment. The agent had spoken to the landlord. He still spoke to him […]

BE SHAMELESS IN THANKSGIVING

Sometime in August 2021, I led the church to our landed property.  We went to praise God on the land before the commencement of the project. While in thanksgiving, I had a prompt to lay down right there in the middle of shrubs. At times, goats stray around the property. Interestingly, it was my first wearing a lovely white shirt. […]

APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE

We needed to shoot a series of videos for a training school.  We began by looking at the equipment that will be required. We needed cameras, lighting, a great laptop and a whole lot. When we saw the long list, we asked ourselves, “What do we have that we can use?” We ended up shooting the videos with someone’s phone […]

APPRECIATE INTEGRITY

While we were seeking landed properties for the ministry about eight years ago, we spotted one not too far from the rented property we were using. I eventually got the opportunity to see the owner of the land. While we spoke and interacted about his property, he said to me, “If not that your father is not a greedy man, […]

APPRECIATE EARLY AWARENESS

I remember the first time I had a pull towards my spiritual father. Some beloved ones were talking about ministry exploits. They shared testimonies of what the Lord had done through him. I did not know that it registered in me. But his name came up in my second year at the university.  When I eventually gravitated towards him, I […]

APPRECIATE SILENT LABOURS

One of the fathers in the faith who helped in the spread of the gospel all across our nation especially among young people as a Travelling Secretary of an Evangelistic Organization was honoured by one of the ministries in the land. He was already in his 70s when this happened. When I saw the update, tears dropped from my eyes. […]

APPRECIATE THE HELP OF GOD

Irewamiri and I were having a conversation. She just mentioned how we had nothing in our living room when we got married. Our seats were improvised- we used to sit on those yellow twenty-five-litre jerry cans. I still remember our first set of upholstery.  Do you know that after getting comfortable and setting up our first home, God still instructed […]
