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 […]
I once had a student whose mother came to complain about. She said, “I have not been around for a while. I travelled. It was on my return this morning that my husband mentioned that our son had not been sleeping at home. He only comes home to wear his uniform every morning. But he had not seen him in […]
I asked a dear brother, “What books have you read recently that has caused a significant change in your mindset and has impacted your life?” I left our little chat with two things- a reignited passion for reading and a list of books to buy. Books can be the difference between captivity and freedom. If you do not know what […]
While we spoke about life, my friend said to me: “Temi, the great changes we have seen was not because we took some great steps or took giant leaps. They were little things we decided to do that made a huge difference”. A little step can make a huge difference in the long run. Think about it, what begins as […]
I had a struggle in my mind whether to be vulnerable with my friend or not. I was at a point where I knew I had to make great financial decisions to live a great life. I did not want to appear like I did not know what I was doing. I eventually told myself that I was better off […]
I have a dear brother who is also a pastor. I would say to him that “Every time we talk, prejudices are shattered and light comes for things I need to get done. Passion is also reignited”. We would share on our ministry journey and every time I am done speaking with him, I just have an unusual hunger to […]
