“SEE! WE ARE ALL ANOINTED”

Some years back, I got information that one of the corp members in the church was admitted to the hospital. We left all we were doing to check up on the lady. As we were approaching the door of the room where she was, someone said in excitement, “Thank God Pastor is here.” At that very moment, another corp member […]

BEFORE MORE… SAY THANK YOU FIRST!

Danielle had been with her Mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves), and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts […]

“DADDY, DID YOU HISS?”

Some time ago, I was narrating something that happened in a video skit to Irewamiri, and I hissed in between my talk. Olive was somewhere near, and she said, “Daddy, did you hiss?” I had to apologize to her for hissing.  Why did she ask? For a while, my beloved almost-three-year-old (as of then) would express displeasure by hissing. We […]

IT WAS EASIER PRAYED THAN DONE

As the major project we had went on, I would always pray to God to bless the work, and yes, He did. Then it struck me that I can also be a blessing to the work. So I told God, “God bless me that I may bless the work.”  God began to bless me indeed. But It was easier prayed […]

TRANSPARENCY CAN SAVE YOU FROM A CRISIS

A dear son brought a young lady that he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she lost interest in the young man after the visit. We were wondering what […]

DIGNIFY YOUR PASTOR

I attend a monthly ministers seminar with my Grandfather in the faith. I needed to leave earlier that day, so I sent him a text very early in the morning, apologizing that I may exit while he was yet teaching because I had to receive a special guest for our meeting in the church that night. I ended up staying […]

FATHERS DO NOT ABANDON THEIR CHILDREN

We got back home after a brief drive into town to pick up some things. When we returned, Olive insisted she was not going inside the house. I walked in and closed the door, thinking she would then be prompted to come in. She stayed outside. I could not keep my eyes away. I started looking at her through the […]

WHAT HELP DID YOU REFUSE?

Olive picked up a top and tried wearing it. I approached her to help her and she began to say, “I can do it by myself.” I left her to it. After a moment of struggling, she began to cry and throw tantrums. She was struggling with it but could not get to wear it. She got frustrated and threw […]

“PROTECT THE SEED”

We started a vegetable garden in our compound. Irewamiri did something- she decided to cage all the roaming hens in the compound before planting the seeds. She said, “If I allow them to roam, they will eat up the seeds. They will be in the cage until the seeds grow.” You have an assignment to protect the seed especially when […]

THE FUTURE IS CODED IN YOUR OBEDIENCE 

In September 2006, while praying in the sports complex at Obafemi Awolowo University, the Lord reminded me of an earlier instruction he gave in March. It was to gather young people under the same atmosphere of word and worship led by young people like them. I began to make moves to obey.  As we stepped into Eruwa the night of […]
