While growing up, we had an uncle who lived with us. We were still quite young and in primary school. Whenever he noticed that we were close to him, he would cover himself in a red piece of cloth and hide behind the living room door. Once we opened the door, he would come out making strange sounds. We ran […]
It was the 4th of October, 2011. I heard the Lord say to me, “Son, every company builds its factory where the raw materials are. Go to where I have sent you”. I remember my blue travelling bag that housed my wig and gown. I could not imagine packing it aside for the rest of my life. I dropped a […]
A father in the faith shared the story of how he had to intervene in a family crisis. The family was dear to them. The husband had been unfaithful. He slept with their housemaid. The wife works out of town most of the time. It was messy. However, they succeeded in preserving the family and restoring the union, or so […]
Some few months after hosting our spiritual parents in Eruwa, my spiritual father said to me, “Your people are like a sponge. They drew as much as they could. I had to spend a lot of time on Saturday in prayer so I could be a blessing to our church on Sunday”. I smiled and said thank you profusely. That […]
There was a missionary who took ill while on the mission field. His health deteriorated, so they had to fly him to his home country. The medical doctors did all they could, and it seemed as though there was no solution in sight. The missionary made an interesting request. He asked that he should be taken back to the mission […]
One day, the beloved one who manages one of my handles reached out saying that I was being attacked online after they posted the devotionals. The trolls were coming hard. Out of concern, she asked, “Pastor, should I pull down the post?” I had a good laugh and said to her, “Is that post the truth of God’s Word?” She […]
We were ministering in the South-South of our nation. I travelled with my entire family for the meeting. It was a great time out for the young ones. During the day, while we prepared for the meeting, the church had a team that picked up the girls and took them out for sightseeing, colouring and other fun yet edifying activities. […]
I taught the church a simple lesson in the early days of ministry. It was our midweek service. I asked the church to go round and check up on themselves to ask the simple question, “How are you?” They went around exchanging pleasantries and encouraging smiles. I realized that no one walked towards me to say a word. I smiled […]
Some years ago, I would wake up to study and would be sighing at intervals. I would walk out into the night and begin praying for specific people I had the privilege to pastor. I had people in the church who were not growing. It was a tough one, having to address the same issues repeatedly. Today, when I see […]
Some few weeks after we got married, we noticed a pattern. There was a man who made it a habit of visiting us. He would come and start greeting loudly, “Pastor, good afternoon.” We were really nice to him. My wife and I would step out and try to make him comfortable. We would serve him food and water. He […]
