There was a missionary who took ill while on the mission field. His health deteriorated, so they had to fly him to his home country. The medical doctors did all they could, and it seemed as though there was no solution in sight. The missionary made an interesting request. He asked that he should be taken back to the mission […]
One day, the beloved one who manages one of my handles reached out saying that I was being attacked online after they posted the devotionals. The trolls were coming hard. Out of concern, she asked, “Pastor, should I pull down the post?” I had a good laugh and said to her, “Is that post the truth of God’s Word?” She […]
We were ministering in the South-South of our nation. I travelled with my entire family for the meeting. It was a great time out for the young ones. During the day, while we prepared for the meeting, the church had a team that picked up the girls and took them out for sightseeing, colouring and other fun yet edifying activities. […]
I taught the church a simple lesson in the early days of ministry. It was our midweek service. I asked the church to go round and check up on themselves to ask the simple question, “How are you?” They went around exchanging pleasantries and encouraging smiles.

As the readership of the devotional writing began to increase in the early days of writing, I made a shocking discovery – I was under the burden of performance. Even when I did not have my devotion, I was still struggling to write so that people could read. When I realized, I would release a note that I was taking […]
When a dear one mentioned that he wanted to resign to launch into entrepreneurship. I wanted to ask one or two questions. I asked whether he already has mastered the business end of his current employment. Is he still thinking like an employee or he is now thinking like a business owner? Do you just see how your salary is […]
A dear sister mentioned that she noticed a man in church had developed a habit of walking up to her after service to commend her appearance. When she noticed that it had become a pattern, she came up with a plan. The next time he showed up, rather than acknowledge his greetings, she walked him to his own wife and […]
