“LORD, WE STARTED CONFUSED”

I documented my journey with God and His call upon my life to serve in ministry beginning from Eruwa. I sent it to my dear pastor as I was leaving Akwa-Ibom State after my national youth service. Pastor prayed for me as I went to bid him farewell. He said in prayer, “Lord, a lot of us started confused, but […]

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CALLED 5

We were to host a meeting, and we had a list of seven speakers. It was to be a great meeting. Some were travelling from great distances. They were accomplished people in their fields. However, there was a challenge—as the meeting day got closer, there was not enough money to give to our guests as an honorarium or to buy […]

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CALLED 4

There was a day my dad called me and mentioned that I had to visit a dear relative who was bereaved in Ibadan. He had gone like twice in a short while. He insisted I needed to go. I wanted to go but I had to tell him that I could not go at that moment. He asked why I […]

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CALLED 3

In the first year of ministry, a beloved one needed my help with a matter. I would have to make a call but all I had could only send a text. I sent her a text requesting that she should call the contact shared. She got angry and asked, “Are you saying you do not have money to recharge your […]

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CALLED 2

A beloved brother in the faith visited me some time ago, and we began to share about how the Lord has blessed us both in the past year. He mentioned that it was amazing to know that the year he spent the most time in God’s presence was the year he had great individual and ministerial breakthroughs. He shared about […]

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CALLED 1

When the ministry office opened in that roadside shop thirteen years ago, I knew that I had no option but to be disciplined with the work. There was no way I would leave the legal profession to a higher calling to Eruwa and do less. I would dress up formally and get to the office very early. I was so […]

CHRONICLES OF PROCESS: WE COULD NOT AFFORD IT

A few months after our wedding, we were in a Supermarket and 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. We […]

“I WAS DOING MY ASSIGNMENT”

I knew when my girls came in from school. They would come into my office and greet me before they went on to do any other thing that they needed to do. But I heard their voices when they arrived but did not see my girls come in to greet me.  About an hour later, Danielle walked to my office. […]

DO NOT SUFFER A BLOW (Do not sit on the fence)

I was visiting a doctor friend at work when I saw a young lady with a fully swollen mouth. My friend said to me that she had a broken jaw. That was even worse. How did she get it? She got in between two people exchanging blows in a bar. First, there is no in-between in the things of the […]

SENSITIVITY AND OBEDIENCE CAN PREVENT LOSSES

About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those in charge of church finance had a normal place to keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed them there that day, I felt a prompt within me to change where they were kept before I left the office. I took the cash and placed it somewhere else. […]
