GODLY PRINCIPLES FOR MARITAL BONDING (5)

She asked, “Pastor, I do not like his church. I do not agree with the doctrine of the church. What should I do?” I asked her, “What church were you before you got married, and what church are you now?” I was a bit surprised.  It was quite a rare switch. I realized why she was struggling.  “But did you […]

After I asked out Irewamiri, she had a unique, broad daylight encounter. She was in her room. She seems to have dozed off a bit when she caught a vision: A dear father we both loved walked up to her and said, “I have called you to help my son in what I have sent him to do.” The dear […]

Irewamiri got a Word from the Lord about a particular situation. It was about our family and ministry journey. The Lord would not permit her to tell me, but only pray for me. Guess what, it took four solid years for me to make that same decision. She waited on God for those four trying years. It was a huge […]

VALUE GOD’S VOICE ABOVE YOUR APPETITE

Irewamiri made an amazing meal. I sat at the table and enjoyed the meal. Then, I asked for another helping, especially for the well-spiced meat. The moment she set it before me, I had a prompt not to eat it, but I did. The meal was too sweet to ignore.  I could not wake up at the right time that […]

About two years into ministry, I was teaching in a midweek service. I made a reference in scriptures about the women who showed Saul the way to Prophet Samuel’s house and the volume of words that was used.

VALUE GOD’S VOICE OVER REPUTATION

Some years ago, while still living with my parents, I was looking for the car key one morning. After a long search, I saw that I had locked it in the car. I walked to my Dad, explained to him, and he gave me the spare key, but not without a warning not to be careless. I apologized.  But like […]

A father in the faith shared about how the church he pastored was not growing. He was concerned. He called for a retreat, and they prayed. One day, the Lord told him to go out and take a look at the church from outside. He saw a dark cloud cover the church like a blanket. He commanded it to roll […]

WHEN IT IS NOT GOING YOUR WAY (3)

A preacher shared the story of how things went so badly for one of his friends. He decided to come to Nigeria to take a prayer retreat with his friend. As they both prayed, he prayed in a calm manner, but at a point, his friend began to groan in prayer. All he could hear was “Jehovah ehhhhh, Jehovah ahhhhh.” […]
