I left home that morning in very high spirit. I walked to the ministry office praying and singing. I was singing with joy. It rained the previous evening. It was a really cool morning. When I got to the office and I opened the door, the song in my mouth vanished. The entire office was flooded. I was momentarily down. […]
I was speaking with a dear son when he made a very profound statement. He said, “Sir, the Lord told me that whenever He asks me to sow a seed, it is because I am the one in need”. It was too profound for me. There are times we posture as if we are doing God a favour. If God […]
While I prayed at midnight, I heard the door of the library opening and there walked in Danielle.

I saw it as an opportunity to sharpen my riding skills. That afternoon, I began to ride right in front of the house. During one of the […]
Just as we were wrapping up the communion service, I sensed a prompt in my heart that it was still possible to use our new facility for the 10th anniversary and convention of the Church. I said to the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong and I understood. But that evening, I requested […]
The university I attended was quite a groovy one. There were constant events taking place in our Amphitheatre. Both A’list and upcoming artistes frequent the school. Most times the events are paid for. There are also the notorious boys of Awo Hall. They were popular for their “creative energy and throwing of verbal jabs”. We call it “Aro” (an exciting […]
A dear father in the faith and his beloved wife shared a touching experience with us as an intending couple some years back. They got married while the man was a priest in a small village.
