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 […]

ONE QUESTION I CANNOT FORGET!

The thoughts in my head was not as smooth as the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos. The romance between the tyres of the car and the road inside Victoria Island explained the moment I was about to have- a face to face time out with my brother-in-law (to be) and his spouse. The best question of that night (in my honest […]

WHAT NO ONE SAID IN 8 YEARS

I was chatting with a dear friend who said some profound words that no one has ever said to me in eight years of ministry. It lifted my spirit man so much that I had some tiny drops of tears swelling up. I knew it was not a bluff because this is a family that shows care by actions and […]

DADDY’S SLAP AND THE BITTER PILLS

We returned from the clinic with quite some huge quantity of drugs- I have been ill. One thing I hated was drugs- just the scent of it will make me vomit. Drugs must be used in sweet drinks (even that is by force) or hidden inside yam flour (amala). As we sat at the table that evening, it was the […]

ONE WAY TO DAMAGE YOUR CAR.

As I drove home, I noticed some doctor friends of mine were in front of their quarters. I drove to the front of their house, switched off the ignition and went ahead to exchange pleasantries. We all got to catch up. While at it, I heard “Eh, Eh”. I looked back and discovered that the car was moving by itself. […]

DADDY WAS A STEP AHEAD

“SIR, IT IS VAN NOT FAN”

A mentor shared how he preached a great sermon. It was the kind of Word that the preacher knows that he surely delivered. Still enjoying the euphoria of the moment, a young lady walks up to him and requested audience. He obliged. Then comes the bombshell: “Sir, the pronunciation is Van and not Fan”. He felt like “Ah! After this […]

“UNCLE, CAN YOU EXCUSE ME? I WANT TO DRESS UP”

My little niece was 4 years old then. I was having a chat with her mum and elder sister when she stepped out of the bathroom. She had a towel around her little body. Once she stepped into the room and saw me (I had not even noticed her presence), she said with her four-year voice but with the confidence […]

WHAT THE NIGER GIRL TAUGHT ME

As I was about entering the University gate, a young Nigerien girl grabbed my left arm- I really felt like shrugging her off but I tried to be patient as she begged for money. At that point, I had made up my mind to give her a hundred naira note but I decided to interact with her. I began to […]
