THE QUESTION MADE ME SMILE

During my Secondary School days, I was a regular listener and studio participant of a Radio Quiz called Total Mode Turn Over (TMTO) on OGBC FM at Abeokuta. It is still aired till today. It was the final. I had left my Grand-uncle’s house to be a part of the radio quiz this awesome Sunday. His official quarters was close […]

WITH A BURDENED HEART

As a believer, you cannot be calling everyone sweetheart, whether male or female. There must be integrity of words. In the social media age, insults fly left and right, you cannot afford to be a part of it. If you cannot say it to the person’s face, do not hide behind the screen of technology to do evil. Words are […]

FATAL ATTRACTION

I was cleaning the house many years ago when I stumbled on a collection of letters written to me some years ago in my secondary school days. I had my eyes on some beautiful girls then. As I read the letters, I had a good laugh. I collected all of it and flushed it right through the water closet. I […]

CAN I HELP A BROTHER? (AND A SISTER TOO)

A cool evening it was. I went visiting a female friend. We had not known each other for such a long time. We had time to really catch up on many things. Her phone rang. It was her fiance. Then she goes through what seems like a drilling process from an interviewer. She kept answering questions till she began to […]

PROTECT YOUR HOME

As we sat at the breakfast table, my fiancee (now my wife) asked my spiritual father, “Daddy, what is meant to be my role in ministry?” He looked at her and said, “Protect him from danger. A pastor wants to be all he can to all people” He then told us, “No one must ever come in between you- not […]

“YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE CARRIED HIM”

I stepped out of the car as soon as I parked in the church office. A little boy, just one year and some months old came walking towards me, with all eagerness in his steps and that unique excitement of a child. But he was really dirty. I made a brave choice to carry the baby. As I walked towards […]

A NIGHT IN THE TOILET?

Some 16 years ago, I went visiting with one of my favourite uncles in Lagos (He sings, plays the guitar well! He rocks. He pastors and He gives). As we got into his house late in the evening, my dear uncle points and says “Temi, that is where you will spend the night”. Without delay, I picked up my school […]

“YOU WANT TO USE YOUR LIFE TO FRUSTRATE MINE”

It was around 5.50am. We had gone to drop off a friend at the park. Just as we were about exiting the park something interesting happened: Just in front of where I parked, there was a park for motorcycles. I noticed it was safer begging the two commercial cyclists to kindly allow me to pass through their park rather than […]

FAITH IS FOR THE BLIND

On our way to Abeokuta on the 19th of April, 2012 for my cousin’s wedding, my mum made a profound statement that has stuck to me as a life lesson on faith and obedience. Dad drew her attention as we drove past an optical clinic that she used to frequently visit during the first few years of her eyesight challenges. […]

YOUR HELPER IS NOT FAR

Just at the commencement of ministry in Eruwa, I had spent the morning in sighs and some tears. It was such morning that you shut up the doors and scream “Lord, Step in. You who called, strengthen me” and you add the song, “My Helper o”. I laid on the bed in my room for quite about an hour when […]
