My friends and I had a yearly ritual- we would go from one friend’s house to the other every first day of the year. We greeted and ate. It was a tour. It always ended around 10 pm after a long evening of fun. Some day in my second year at the University, just before my friends came to call […]
She posted a picture of a friend who was scantily clad and wrote a tag underneath it- “Fire Everywhere”. When I saw it, I had to pick up my pastoral rod of care and correction. It was firm talk. As a believer, what is worse than appearing ungodly is approving what is ungodly. It has become a trend where Christians […]
A member of the church was asking another member some years ago- Does the pastor see your status? Because if he sees this your status, I am sure by now you would have gotten a message from him! What was the issue? She was indecently dressed with her cleavage out and she paraded it on her status. Christianity and indecency […]
I sat in the library as I spoke to a dear brother in the faith. I told him, “The whole matter concludes that ‘I am fighting a generational war that I must win’”. It was not a battle with demons or the devil. It was a battle for strength and inner will to stay faithful and on course in such […]
We were in a camp meeting and I sat in between two pastor friends. My two friends were moved to the front row while I was left on the same spot. My two friends were given words of knowledge while I got nothing. Thoughts began to come to me: “You are not that important”, “You wasted your time to come”, […]
As the major project we had went on, I would always pray to God to bless the work and yes He did. Then it struck me that I can also be a blessing to the work. So I told God, “God bless me that I may bless the work”. God began to bless me indeed. But It was easier prayed […]
We were travelling from Eruwa to Lagos. We had the first delay at the entry point to Abeokuta. We ran into a ditch and the exhaust pipe got broken. We spent about two hours fixing that. Some minutes after moving, we got into heavy traffic. It was another delay for about an hour and more. One of my dear ones […]
We went to the building site – the children and I. We began to sing in gratitude to God in the main auditorium. After singing, Danielle began to pray, “Lord, we thank you because of the roof. We thank you for the doors and the windows. Lord, we thank you because we are bringing chairs and tables. Lord, we thank […]
My Spiritual Father shared the story of how he went to see the highly revered Pa S G. Elton. It was right after he knew that he would be sold out to God in full time ministry. He said as he walked into Pa Elton’s home, the question he asked was, “Francis, Have you attended your own funeral?” It may […]
Danielle woke up in the middle of the night. She wanted to have some beverages. I was working in the library. Right after she had a cup of beverage, she came to me and lay on the floor right beside the table. I said to her, “Go to the room and sleep”. Her answer was, “Daddy, I want to stay […]
