LITTLE SHIFTS; GREAT MOVE (The Power of “Small” Contributions)

Just before the lockdown, there was a plan to train some of my people. It was a training for ministry. The aim was to raise a sense of spiritual awareness in life and equally understand their role in God’s eternal agenda. I simply dropped voice notes on WhatsApp for about 18 of them. After the first class, a dear friend […]

STOP. LOOK. CHECK.

Olive walked out of the room. When she stepped out, she knew that I followed her. Some few steps thereafter, she stopped and looked again. This time around, she noticed that I had stopped so she stopped also. She stood on the same spot. I was speaking with her mum. We both noticed that she stopped. Eventually when I began […]

Then he said, “I have seen the video devotionals. They are powerful. I love that thing you say at the beginning”. I repeated what I used to […]

She would adjust and hold her phone properly again. Then after a while, her hands were dropping gradually and then the phone fell off. At that point, she woke up […]

I was pretty scared of them but it all changed one December evening in my teenage years. I was holidaying with my grand-uncle. They were carrying turkey into a waiting […]

THE TRAP TO AVOID

As we left the meeting, a dear protégé of mine said to me, “Sir, it takes pastoral grace to do what you did and still minister the truth to those young ones”. I was to teach a large crowd of teenagers but they were distracted and noisy. I said to him, “Sir when I saw how distracted and noisy they […]

THE AFTERNOON NAP AND THE STOLEN PHONE

It was my second year at University. I was sleeping soundly that afternoon in the hostel. It had been a busy day and I knew I needed a well-deserved rest. There were just two of us in the room. My roommate stepped out to attend an afternoon lecture without notifying me. I was soundly asleep. He left the door unlocked. […]

WE FOUND A WAY TO TALK LONGER

Back in the days when we began to fall in love and telecommunications company helped our emotional affairs with free midnight calls, we made a discovery. Even though the free call was to be from 12 am to 5 am, we discovered that if one dropped the line after talking for hours by few minutes to five, you can still […]
