IF ONLY PARENTS CAN PRAY (Revised and Expanded)

We sat on my bed that evening and I gave detailed submission of God’s leading for my life- taking up the call to ministry in Eruwa. Daddy returned the following day and said, “Son, for ages, your mum and I had prayed that God should raise vibrant youths for His name in Eruwa. We just did not know that He […]

DESTINATION SYNDROME

I noticed that I had books that my friends have written that I had not taken time to read. Meanwhile, I had read a whole lot of other books. I told my wife, “I am focusing on the books my friends write for the next few days. I will finish all of them. How will my friends write and I […]

ASSIGNMENTS ARE TRIGGERS OF GREATNESS

I came in pretty tired that afternoon and I was looking forward to the Sunday rest. Just when I was hoping of having that evening allgo myself, Dad announced that I had to stand in for him at a meeting later that day. Do you know what his reason was- He was tired. I could not say “No”. I obeyed […]

SINCERITY IS NOT WEAKNESS

There is a major conference that we get to host annually when ministry commenced. It was quite impactful but financially demanding because of the volume of speakers involved. One year, I had to write all the speakers telling them about the financial constraints we had. I added that if they decide they could not make it to the meeting, we […]

WAITING AND READY TO SERVE

As I drove, I looked out of the car window and saw labourers standing by the road side with their tools ready. They were simply waiting for the call to serve. At that moment, the Holy Spirit inspired my heart about how believers must always be ready, available and willing to serve the Lord. One of the prayers you must […]

DO NOT BE CLUMSY WITH VISION

I backed my daughter to the living room for the morning prayers. As we were to step through a door, I walked calmly trying to ensure that I protect her from injury. I pushed the door a little wider as we made our way through. At that moment, the Holy Spirit said to me that, “Those who carry something must […]

SERVICE OPENS DOORS

A young man volunteered to drive me to a meeting out of my base. He is always that dutiful and full of honour. While he drove, I got a message that someone needed an expert in a particular area. I only mentioned it in passing. Instantly, he said “Pastor, it is something I do and I can get it done”. […]

DEAR HUSBAND AND FATHER, DRIVE ALERT!

I noticed the car was veering off the lane. I looked into the eye of our driver and noticed that he had slept off- his eyes were slightly closed. I tapped him to wake him up. I kept ensuring he stayed awake. In every family, the father (husband) is the driver. If he sleeps off, he can cause the family […]

WE GOT IT AT LAST (Written by my Dad)

In the first year of his reign, I Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Daniel 9:2. A few years back, my cousin bought and sent home a ‘Honda Odyssey’ space bus. I was to […]
