APPRECIATE CLOSED DOORS

We were house hunting a while back. We saw a house that fit our desires. We spoke with the agent in charge of the house. He contacted the Landlord, and we fixed a time to inspect the house. We took a trip to meet up with the appointment. The agent had spoken to the landlord. He still spoke to him […]

BE SHAMELESS IN THANKSGIVING

Sometime in August 2021, I led the church to our landed property.  We went to praise God on the land before the commencement of the project. While in thanksgiving, I had a prompt to lay down right there in the middle of shrubs. At times, goats stray around the property. Interestingly, it was my first wearing a lovely white shirt. […]

APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE

We needed to shoot a series of videos for a training school.  We began by looking at the equipment that will be required. We needed cameras, lighting, a great laptop and a whole lot. When we saw the long list, we asked ourselves, “What do we have that we can use?” We ended up shooting the videos with someone’s phone […]

APPRECIATE INTEGRITY

While we were seeking landed properties for the ministry about eight years ago, we spotted one not too far from the rented property we were using. I eventually got the opportunity to see the owner of the land. While we spoke and interacted about his property, he said to me, “If not that your father is not a greedy man, […]

APPRECIATE EARLY AWARENESS

I remember the first time I had a pull towards my spiritual father. Some beloved ones were talking about ministry exploits. They shared testimonies of what the Lord had done through him. I did not know that it registered in me. But his name came up in my second year at the university.  When I eventually gravitated towards him, I […]

APPRECIATE SILENT LABOURS

One of the fathers in the faith who helped in the spread of the gospel all across our nation especially among young people as a Travelling Secretary of an Evangelistic Organization was honoured by one of the ministries in the land. He was already in his 70s when this happened. When I saw the update, tears dropped from my eyes. […]

APPRECIATE THE HELP OF GOD

Irewamiri and I were having a conversation. She just mentioned how we had nothing in our living room when we got married. Our seats were improvised- we used to sit on those yellow twenty-five-litre jerry cans. I still remember our first set of upholstery.  Do you know that after getting comfortable and setting up our first home, God still instructed […]

APPRECIATE SINCERITY

Some years ago, we were to host a leadership conference.  Aside from myself, we had plans to host about seven other speakers (I am not sure I will do that again). About a week before the meeting, it became clear that it would be dishonourable to bring speakers without the required financial pool to take care of at least their […]

APPRECIATE PLATFORMS

It was the last Saturday of January in 2007. I was visiting with my aunt. She said to me, “Temi, there is a ten-minute session in teens church called ‘tits and bits’. We would be glad if you could share for ten minutes tomorrow”. I agreed. I stayed in the place of prayer. I shared that Sunday on “The Story […]

APPRECIATE LABOURERS

I once had a colleague while on a course. She happened to be a daughter of missionaries.  We started a conversation one day about her journey.  She said to me, “My parents have done so much in missions that my own intent is to make money”. I heard what she had not even said. Our stewards in the ministry gave […]
