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. […]

YOUR SPOUSE IS NOT YOUR OPPONENT!

It happened around Yaba in Lagos State. It was still a bit early in the morning. We parked, waiting to connect with someone. Then we saw the most unusual scene- it has not left my mind since then. We saw a man and a woman who wore the same attire driving by at speed in a car. The unusual thing […]

OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN REGRETS

I was working in the library. Before I could blink an eye, Danielle had gone inside a shelf and closed the door to hide from Olive. My fatherly instinct came on. I stood up, opened the shelf, and gave them both a stern warning. “What if they tried this on a day no adult was close.” Warnings are instruments of […]

DO NOT TURN A HEART GOD TOUCHED TO A “SPONSOR”

I woke up one morning to a message from someone that he was led to give to the ministry. When he eventually sent the seed, it was timely, and it was quite heavy for the season we were in. What a joy it was. Then I made a mistake: Some months afterwards, we needed to get something done. I sent […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 10

One of the things I needed to fight was the unexplainable habit of undressing a woman in my mind. It was a battle. From my teenage years, I had to struggle with it. At least, I could not be closing my eyes everywhere I see a woman. I knew I had to deal with it. How did the Lord help […]

OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 9

I got into the car that morning so I could take my children to school. Interestingly, the engine roared to life. However, nothing else would come up- the gear was stuck and none of the lights were coming on. We had to find an alternative. When the professional came, he said, “It must have been giving signals that you ignored”. […]
