After about a year in the land of Eruwa pursuing the call of God, I had an amazing offer to pioneer a youth church for a church. It was a great offer at face value. I would be more comfortable. I would also be pastoring in a high-network area in a city. Some of my loved ones also saw it […]
I was taking an evening walk with one of my dear ones. It was during the early days of saying “Yes” to the Lord to return to Eruwa for the work of ministry just after service year. She said to me, “_______ said that you are only being driven by youthful exuberance. That even if God has called you, why […]
I was passing by a construction site some years ago. I saw huge tanks on the site and massive holes being dug. That was when I knew it was a filling station. If a filling station will be able to dispense fuel, there must be tanks buried underground. Tankers do not bring fuel and dispense directly to cars or cans. […]
My grandfather’s voice in the faith keeps ringing out loud till today. It was a meeting of Ministers. He said, “The only thing I need to teach you is how to pray. You will figure out the rest by yourself”. He will always add, “When man works, man works, but when man prays, God works.” He crowns it by saying, […]
I was once sitting beside a dear teacher in a green room alongside other ministers. She turned and said, “Pastor Temi, you make it so easy to teach you. I love your meekness”. I thanked her but then said, “Ma, I made enough mistakes trying to figure it out myself that I knew at a point that I could not […]
I had a very important meeting to attend, and I also needed to get some other things done. There was no way I would miss the meeting. It was way more important to me. So, I wanted to delegate the things I needed to fix to another person. Someone said to me, “Sir, even if you call them, they are […]
My grandfather in the faith shared the story of how he and his beloved friend and brother would regularly visit an elderly person anytime they were chanced to be together in the city. It was a regular thing. As time went on, they realized that they always return with doubts rather than faith, a weakened will to pursue divine vision […]
About ten years ago, I visited my grandfather in the faith. When I got into his office, he asked me about the ministry, and I began to share about the things the Lord has done and was doing. He brought out a pen and a paper. He took note of some things I said. He asked further questions, and I […]
While I waited in the market for Irewamiri and a senior sibling to return, I had a great time reading, but something happened that did not leave my mind. The tricycle drivers would park recklessly to drop off and pick up a passenger, not minding other vehicles behind them. They acted like the kings of the road. I saw drivers […]
When my parents were trying to introduce us to fasting, it was a tall order for me in particular. I found displeasure in the month of August. We had this annual pre-convention fast. To make matters worse, it was summer break (long vacation). Fasting is tougher at such times. I would try my best to fast, but I would visit […]
