During our building project, I remember the morning we needed eight hundred thousand naira. At midnight, while I danced and gave God praise, someone I had known since 2004 sent half a million as a seed for the project. I was really grateful. While on-site the day the money was required, I was thanking God when a dear sister sent […]
A dear brother shared a ministry training material with me when I needed help developing a similar one. A few months later, I was in a meeting where another minister requested the material after spotting it on me. I sent it to him. I felt I did the wrong thing. I should have asked the owner of the document for […]
When I saw her writing on the wall with a crayon, I paused what I was doing and said to the beloved three-year-old, “You don’t write on the wall. You can write on paper”. She squeezed her face in protest. I was shocked. She then told me, “I will write on the wall”. When I saw she was insistent, I […]
I was in a meeting many years ago where a minister of the gospel who had been in the ministry for decades shared. He spoke about how the Lord taught him a major life lesson that brought a shift into his life and ministry. I decided to practice what he mentioned. I also saw the difference in my life. I […]
As we left the home of our beloved grandparents in the faith, my fiance (now my beloved wife) said that she had to answer a simple yet important question while she chatted in the kitchen with Grandma.

Just before the communion service finished, I had a prompt in my spirit to tell the church that we would be in our new building within the space of a month. We all knew the state of the building. It took some boldness and guts to make such an announcement, but I knew it was the Lord. I made the […]
A group of students in medical school were in one of their practical sessions. The consultant noticed one of his students holding the surgical instruments with such precision and expertise. Out of curiosity, he asked him, “Who taught you to hold the instruments?” All his mates chorused, “Congenital Surgeon.” He had watched his father perform surgeries for so many years […]
For a while when I settled in the land of Eruwa for ministry, when friends reach out to find out where I am, I find a way to dodge the question or I simply give a general answer like, “I am somewhere in Oyo State”. When they say, “Is it Ibadan?”, my answer goes like, “Not too far from Ibadan”. […]
A dear son in faith mentioned that as he was coming to see me that day, some thoughts were running through his mind. One of it was, “See how your wife wants to disgrace you. Why did she call to inform Dad of what you were struggling with”. His response to that thought made me proud but much more was […]
