For a while this year, we decided to spend time praying for the influence of the church to extend to one of the sectors of our community. It had been a battle for almost four years. We took it seriously this year in intercession. Few weeks into interceding, the barriers began to crumble one after the other. We began to […]
A young man walked up to me after a meeting. He said to me, “Pastor, you have to forgive me”. I was surprised and wondered what he did wrong. He went on to explain some things that had happened that I was not even aware of. When you have known the direction that the Lord would have to take in […]
We were travelling by air and it was raining just at the point of landing. It was a bit turbulent as we descended. I told my brother by my side that, “Can you imagine that we trust the pilot to get us to the ground safely even when we cannot see him?” He got the message. No one was running […]
I had an appointment to keep with my spiritual father but it seem it was going to be a bit of a hectic day for him. I reached out to his Personal Assistant. He explained how the day had turned out to be very busy but he made a very important statement: “Pastor, please stay here. This is where he […]
I was in a hurry to get back into the city of Eruwa to catch up with our midweek service. I was stopped at a police checkpoint. An officer asked, “What do you do?” I calculated that it was more prestigious to say, “I am a lawyer”. Once I did, he said, “Sir, you can go”. As I drove off, […]
I was having a conversation with some of my dear ones and we began to share about things that have limited men in life. We began to share about how our culture and thinking makes it hard to accept early accomplishments in life. If a beautiful young lady drives a good car, society believes she must be promiscuous and sleeping […]
There was a Scottish pastor who was one of the most powerful ministers to ever stand in the pulpits of Edinburgh and Dundee, but he died at the age of twenty-nine, partly because he was weakened by overwork, excessive busyness, and chronic fatigue. He reportedly said as he was dying, “The Lord gave me a horse to ride and a […]
In my secondary school days, lust ate up the fabric of my teenage soul. I was inquisitive to a fault. As an avid reader, I got lost in reading things that were quite sexually graphic. I slid eventually into pornography. It messed up my mind. It affected my creativity. It contaminated the flow of inspiration. It affected productivity. Lust is […]
There was a season of my life that I was battling laziness. I would wait for things to pile up before it gets done. I relied on my gifts without spending time to refine them and get better. As a teenager, my mum once called me a lazy pig. It was painful. Laziness was eating up the fabric of my […]
My pastor would always say to every one of us that, “You do not know how much of a sinner you can be until you have money. It takes money to finance adultery”. Once you can fly a girlfriend from Nigeria to Dubai and you join her on a different flight, you need to be on the lookout for the […]
