BREAKFAST FOR ONE

I was out of town for a meeting and I had to stay in a hotel. I went with one of my men. The hotel bill came with complimentary breakfast for one person. From experience, knowing that hotel meals could be expensive, I gave him some cash to get some meal at an eatery for breakfast. When I got to […]

REFLEX RESPONSES

In our early days in marriage, I had a funny habit that I had developed over time and I do not think about it before doing it. When someone sneezes, my response is always “Same to you”. I only meant it as a joke but it did not go down well with my wife. I still know the exact spot […]

I SHARED THE MONEY EQUALLY

The first time I was invited to come to speak in a teens camp, I went with some of my dear friends. I knew God was going to do amazing things through our lives in our generation. It was some distance from school and I paid the charter for the cab. After the meeting, the honorarium was handed over to […]

WHAT IS YOUR TEMPTATION?

I was teaching a group of young disciples and we got talking about temptations. One of them asked, “Pastor, what is your temptation?” I thought briefly and said to them, “I get tempted when there is no money on me”. I am tempted to take money that is not mine and spend with the hope that I will return it. […]

WHEN I DID NOT SEE CLEARLY

From my primary school days till my first three years in secondary school, I do not get to see the board clearly because I am short-sighted. I would have to leave the back of the class and get my seat close to the board so I can see what the teacher had written on the chalkboard. I had earlier had […]

While discussing with his host, the host mentioned that their youth convention was on the way and he was still thinking of who to invite. This amazing father did not […]

VINEYARD OR VEGETABLES

“Temi, we know you can pioneer a youth church for us. Kindly think about it and let us know” Those words were enough to send me on a thinking spree. Could the Lord be saying something? Maybe Eruwa was just a test after all? Maybe my season in Eruwa is over at last. This was after my second year in […]

I KNOW YOU ARE A WISE YOUNG MAN

My phone rang and the conversation was “Temi, are you in town already. Please make sure we see before you leave” I sure kept the appointment. When I saw her, she said to me, “Temi, we have been thinking of what to give you for your wedding. We thought of sponsoring your honeymoon. This is a token for you. We […]

THAT IS THE HOUSE

We had checked on the house about three weeks earlier and I told my wife that we were not going to rent that particular place and I had my reason. She did not argue with me. As I drove into our former residence, the Holy Spirit impressed it in my heart that the house I rejected was actually the house […]

SILENT LABOURS

The nurses were discussing with the lady and I honestly thought she came in for antenatal care. She kept on the conversation with ease. Then one of the nurses said that she is in labour and was already halfway gone. I was in shock. She made no sounds. She was still talking and smiling. As I was leaving, I still […]
