When we were having our building project sometime in 2021. We were still at the foundation stage of the work, the filling was taking more truckloads of sand than we envisaged. Upon completion, the bill had risen more than we budgeted. God always shows up but I had to pass a simple test. We needed about seven thousand naira to […]
In the early days of church work, we had our midweek service. There was no one on ground to set up our venue. I took up the task of cleaning and setting up the chairs. I did it with all joy while I also prayed for the service. While I was cleaning, the Lord said to me, “Do you know […]
When my dear friend saw the passion and energy that I put into community development without pay, she recommended that I register a Non-Governmental Organization. She would use her influence in the sector to drive projects to the organization. It was a tempting offer. At least, I would be doing what I am passionate about and would still be getting […]
One of my dear ones does such amazing work leading teams that have to do with logistics, transport and outreach for the ministry. He would always say to me, “Sir, my bags are packed if we have to go anywhere.” He has such a great heart. He is giving his all to the work of the ministry. One day, one […]
About 12 years ago, when he sat in front of my desk, he told me clearly that he was not sure that he would stay back as a student at the Polytechnic in Eruwa. He was in his mid-teen years. Eruwa was not in his dreams. He was aiming to attend a Federal University, and he knew it was going […]
Some few days to the end of my service year, and after my conviction to respond to God’s call was solidified, I prepared a document titled, “My Life After Service Year: Pursuing the Call ad Embracing Purpose”. The document covered my dealings with God from 2006 till 2011. It was a detailed account of 5 years of conversation, instructions and […]
That night, my friend told me that he would love me to meet with a pastor who had started a fresh work in the city. He convinced me. We took a long walk through the usual night bustling of the metropolis until we got into that beautiful auditorium. It was dark but it was obvious that some worthy investment had […]
I began to culture my day for the calling during my service year. I would spend much time studying during the day and would spend the night in prayers in our Christian Corpers family house in Akwa Ibom. Those days, once I was done with office work at the law firm where I was learning, I would dig into books. […]
When the question landed, I thought I had given an intelligent answer, but his laughter was an awakening for me. He asked me that morning at the breakfast table, “Son, what do you see in Eruwa?” I told my grandfather in the faith, “I see myself controlling the spiritual and economic climate of the city”. He then said to me, […]
After about a year in the land of Eruwa pursuing the call of God, I received an amazing offer to pioneer a youth church for a church. It was a great offer at face value. I would be more comfortable, and I would also be pastoring in a high-network area in a city. Some of my beloved ones also saw […]
