DO NOT SUFFER A BLOW (Do not sit on the fence)

I was visiting a doctor friend at work when I saw a young lady with a fully swollen mouth. My friend said to me that she had a broken jaw. That was even worse. How did she get it? She got in between two people exchanging blows in a bar. First, there is no in-between in the things of the […]

SENSITIVITY AND OBEDIENCE CAN PREVENT LOSSES

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

YOUR SPOUSE IS NOT YOUR OPPONENT!

It happened around Yaba in Lagos State. It was still a bit early in the morning. We parked, waiting to connect with someone. Then we saw the most unusual scene- it has not left my mind since then. We saw a man and a woman who wore the same attire driving by at speed in a car. The unusual thing […]

OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN REGRETS

I was working in the library. Before I could blink an eye, Danielle had gone inside a shelf and closed the door to hide from Olive. My fatherly instinct came on. I stood up, opened the shelf, and gave them both a stern warning. “What if they tried this on a day no adult was close.” Warnings are instruments of […]

DO NOT TURN A HEART GOD TOUCHED TO A “SPONSOR”

I woke up one morning to a message from someone that he was led to give to the ministry. When he eventually sent the seed, it was timely, and it was quite heavy for the season we were in. What a joy it was. Then I made a mistake: Some months afterwards, we needed to get something done. I sent […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 10

One of the things I needed to fight was the unexplainable habit of undressing a woman in my mind. It was a battle. From my teenage years, I had to struggle with it. At least, I could not be closing my eyes everywhere I see a woman. I knew I had to deal with it. How did the Lord help […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 9

I got into the car that morning so I could take my children to school. Interestingly, the engine roared to life. However, nothing else would come up- the gear was stuck and none of the lights were coming on. We had to find an alternative. When the professional came, he said, “It must have been giving signals that you ignored”. […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 8

When I battled addiction, I came up with a great strategy or so I thought. I prayed and made a vow that the day I do such nonsense, the Lord should kill me. In fact, I used to say that my coffin should be ready. I desperately needed freedom but guess what, today I am grateful for prayers God did […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 6

When he confessed how much he had struggled with porn which has also led to other strange vices because of the appetite that has been created, and that he was struggling hard to break the pattern.  I had to teach him the principle of saying (not thinking) “No” when the desire comes to his mind. It was initially hard practising […]
