MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (7)

When I noticed that my heart was drawn towards the young lady in my church and I perceived she would be my wife, I went to my spiritual father to inform him. His counsel remains timeless and I can never forget: “First, be sure you heard God. Second, Do not marry a woman who does not believe in God’s vision […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (6)

My late grandparents has something very unique that I can never take for granted- relationships. They have such solid bonds with people from different seasons of their lives. Whenever I sit with corp members exiting Eruwa, I sound it loud and clear- do not joke with relationships. Keep in touch with us and with your batch! One mistake we make […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (5)

It was a high brow hotel on the Island somewhere in Lagos State. I had stopped over to say hello to a dear mentor who was in town. After our discussion, I dipped my hands into my pocket and slipped a cash gift into his hands- It was my way of saying thank you. He does not need my money. […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (4)

He is a key person in the church. He walked to my office and said to me, “Pastor, I am sorry I did not say this earlier. I will leave service to speak some where”. I responded, “You can go but when you return, we have a discussion”. Friends, platforms and invitations are exciting. They always seem like affirmation that […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (3)

He looked at me that night and said, “I have done everything I can but the ministry is not growing”. I asked him, “Describe how you feel in one word. And please dont try to sound like a pastor”. His answer was simple, “Frustrated”. I could pick it. I could see it. He has put in so much money- big […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (1)

For the first 3 years of my pastoring work, I simply thought I could get the work done by being prayerful, studious and preaching skillfully. Honestly, I tried my best. I preached some great sermons but I missed it at the very core- I thought I could figure it out myself. The first mistake that many young people make is […]

OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS

I saw the sincerity in his eyes. This is not a place he wants to be. He could not imagine how he got there in the first place. Then I told him my personal discovery: “We all get tempted. I get tempted also. But I realise that it is always quite hard to cave in to temptation when I have […]

SONGS OF THE MORNING

As I turned that morning, a song came out of my mouth. It was talking about the Spirit of God sustaining us. It mentioned about His Spirit infilling us rather than being full of self. It was 2.18am in the morning. I picked my phone and kept a record of it. But I kept singing it that morning. The day […]

NOT LED BY PRESSURES

I walked into the hall and told my dear brother and friend that I would not be able to wait anymore. I had to sort out an emergency before it was dark. I had the key of my car locked up in it. There was no way I could access the spare key. I was out of town! The moment […]

WHEN I SAW THE EXPIRY DATE

While working late into the night, I noticed there was some biting sensation around my legs. I decided to take action incase it was mosquitoes. I had a repellant cream. I did not want to go in to pick a new one but found an old tube somewhere close. I forced the tiny cream in it out and I applied […]
