I was having a chat with some folks a while back and I said to them, “I am glad that God called me early and I responded early”. They asked for my reason and I said to them, “If I had gone ahead to become all I had the plan for, it would be very hard to heed the call […]
Couple of years ago, I was teaching in church. I gave an illustration about women. A young man said, “They are all like that”. I used him as a teaching prop by asking, “Does that include your mum and sister?” He said, “No”. He definitely got the lesson and I went on teaching. The next morning when I wanted to […]
I spotted the lovely beaded gown in our wardrobe. Then I realised that my wife had not worn it before. I definitely knew it would look amazing on her. Then I asked why she had not worn it yet. Her response is instructive- “My dear, I cannot wear it as long as I am still breast-feeding Olive”. Friends, there are […]
It was lunch time during the conference. I strolled in the company of another pastor into the dining hall. The tables were set but the meals were different. Whatever meal you choose determines the table where you will sit. If you wanted rice, you will have to sit at a different table from your friend who wanted pounded yam. The […]
I was in a meeting a while ago when the Lord reminded me of something that happened about 4 years earlier: I had an appointment with my spiritual father. I just wanted to drop a gift in his office a day earlier when he told me to come back the next day. God had a plan. The next morning, I […]
In the early days of ministry when I had my first opportunity to sit with my spiritual father and have a conversation, I made a promise- I would not miss the monthly meeting where he teaches and imparts ministers. I kept to it for a while but I began to give excuses. The reason was simple- my motive as a […]
Years back, an elderly one met one of the young ladies that I would normally relate with and asked her, “Are you not visiting Pastor’s house?” (A reference to my parents’ home). She responded that there was no one around among the children. Then he informed her that I was already back from school. Her response is unforgettable. She said, […]
There are many times that I have attended functions and I had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At […]
Some few months after our wedding, we were in a supermart and we needed to buy body cream for the family. I had no particular preference but my wife had the one she was using as a single lady. We headed straight to the section that housed what we wanted. When we saw the price, we looked at each other. […]
The day after our wedding, a dear one called and we responded that we were already in the place we chose for our honeymoon. We were to be there for the whole week. She said to us, “You both are very smart. We did not have any honeymoon. We just went back home to continue life and we had spent […]
