THINGS TO SETTLE BEFORE MARRIAGE (2)

I got several counsel ever before I asked my wife to marry me. My spiritual father said to me: “Son, there are two things that are very important. First, be sure that you heard God. Second, do not marry a woman who does not believe in God’s vision for your life. If you do, you will be frustrated for the […]

THINGS TO SETTLE BEFORE MARRIAGE (1)

I was packing my bags to travel that morning. A young man had been trying to see me. I told him we could see briefly. He came in with all excitement. There is a lady he has spotted and would love to marry. Well! I was excited for him too. But when he went on and on about what roles […]

CLARIFY TO AVOID CLASHES

I had quite some great folks around me when the ministry was about to start. They were amazing people who were giving all they could to ensure that we build a great foundation for the ministry. I had a tough conversation with each one of them. I asked the question, “How far do you want to go with this vision?” […]

LESSONS FROM VISION (2)

Today makes it eight years of Full-Time Ministry in Eruwa: Just after I settled it within me that I was heading to Eruwa for full-time ministry, I was on a public bus when a call came through. It was a friend I met on Facebook and I had not met in person. She asked me, “What are you planning to […]

LESSONS FROM VISION (1)

We were on our way to minister in one of the State Capitals in the South West of Nigeria. We made a brief stop that Sunday Afternoon with our teachers. My teacher asked me, “How do you deal with insubordination in the ministry?” The question was quite prophetic for the season that we were in- the spirit of division and […]

“OLIVE, WAIT FOR YOUR TIME”

While we ate at the dining table, Olive began to reach out to everything in sight. She wanted to eat what we were eating. As her pull was getting stronger and tougher, her mother had to say to her, “Olive, wait for your time. It is just about a month away”. She is on exclusive breastfeeding. When you are about […]

THE COBWEBS ON THE CAR

While I was moving our luggage into the car, I spotted a spider’s web just at the front tyre. It had built a web from the floor to tyre. When I spotted it, I was surprised. I parked the car quite late in the night and by morning, I was seeing cobwebs. That is the picture of how quick the […]

PRIDE WILL REDUCE YOU

A dear elderly one in the ministry was confronted and asked why she would be attending a church founded and pastored by someone that is far younger than her. I am always impressed by her humility to learn and to grow. It is amazing that no one gets to the hospital and reject the services rendered by a young doctor. […]

THE DEMANDS OF LEADERSHIP

We were to have vigils for a selected team every week in the month. I knew it was going to be demanding. While we contemplated it, I asked my wife if the vigil should hold at home especially because of our children. My wife said to me, “Let us use the church. We do not have to seek the most […]

GREATNESS IS NOT BY EASE

A dear one visited us once and returned to tell others that, “They are always busy. They do not have time for a lot of play at all. They leave home early and return late most times”. That report changed the opinion that those in ministry are just lazy people who have a lot of time to waste. Friends, greatness […]
