I made a definitive decision on a vital ministry relationship. The day I mentioned it, she was greatly overjoyed. I had not seen that glow before. Later, she informed me that the Lord gave her a word about the situation and that relationship about three years earlier. I asked her why she did not mention it. She said, “I did […]
I had shared the testimony of what God did at a season in our ministerial journey with a dear brother who is a minister of the gospel. We had given out almost everything in our house. We moved to a new place and the living room was bare. A year later, we got the gift of a truckload of furniture […]
I was away on a writing retreat. Some bills needed to be paid for our building project. We were at the foundation-filling stage. The account needed just about seven thousand naira more to make up for the required payments. I told those in the office to wait till noon. At about half past eleven in the morning, I picked up […]
After we got our first venue, we could only afford to pay for six months. We needed to renovate the property so it would be conducive for use. We had gotten quotations from artisans, and we were trusting the Lord for resources. That same day, my brother came into town from Ibadan. The interesting thing is that we met on […]
I took over my dad’s old shop. It had a front shop which I turned into a bookstore. It also had a back office which I used as a ministry office. It was a humble beginning indeed. I still wondered how someone or anyone who saw me in that space and accept to work in the ministry. I got back […]
The young man (an undergraduate) mentioned that he was surprised when he heard I was in Eruwa. He could not believe that I could ever settle in the community, especially since I rarely spent any of my breaks from school in the community. I shared the vision with him. Some days later, he sent a message that he won a […]
When I received the call of God into ministry, there were at least two people that I was scared of seeing. I was not sure how they would respond when I mentioned the call to them. He was a visionary and a great intellectual. I knew how much help he rendered when I wrote my final project on Taxation. He […]
I did not have any fear of telling my parents that the Lord had called me into full-time ministry after years of investment in studying law. I remember my parents saying, “We thought you were coming to tell us that you had the plan to travel out of the country”. We had an evening drive where I shared about the […]
I still remember where I was- I was on a public bus somewhere in Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. I was heading to Ajah in Lagos State. I got a message from an online friend who had regularly given feedback on my Facebook notes, “Pastor Temi, where are you now, and what is happening? The Lord asked me to […]
In the early days of the calling, I was ready to work hard, and I believe I did. I even told an elderly person that “Soon, we would have a great multitude in church”. I believed it but I was only relying only gifts and abilities. I felt pastoring was about the ability to speak well. I had zeal but […]
