He had spent some of his teenage years living in a Pastor’s house. He felt he was being choked. Once he got the freedom to step out to school, he slid into sex and drugs. He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as [...]

When I came into ministry, one of my dear ones was concerned about my welfare and she said to me, “Well! As a pastor, you will be getting invitations to preach and I am sure that with the honorarium, you will be able to keep things going”. She even began to help me calculate how much I can have on […]
I asked my grandfather in the faith about 8 years ago, “Sir, if you are to start this great work afresh, what will be your priority?” He looked at me and asked, “Son, do you want to buy a car now?” I replied “No”. “Son, do you want to build a house now?” I replied in the negative. He then […]
I was having a conversation with some of my dear ones and we began to share about things that have limited men in life.

In my secondary school days, lust ate up the fabric of my teenage soul. I was inquisitive to a fault. As an avid reader, I got lost in reading things that were quite sexually graphic. I slid eventually into pornography. It messed up my mind. It affected my creativity. It contaminated the flow of inspiration. It affected productivity. Lust is […]
There was a season in my life when I was battling laziness. I would wait for things to pile up before it gets done. I relied on my gifts without spending time to refine them and get better. As a teenager, my mum once called me a lazy pig. It was painful. Laziness was eating up the fabric of my […]
My pastor would always say to every one of us, “You do not know how much of a sinner you can be until you have money. It takes money to finance adultery”. Once you can fly a girlfriend from Nigeria to Dubai and you join her on a different flight, you need to be on the lookout for the devil. […]
I once had a student whose mother came to complain about. She said, “I have not been around for a while. I travelled. It was on my return this morning that my husband mentioned that our son had not been sleeping at home. He only comes home to wear his uniform every morning. But he had not seen him in […]
I have a dear friend that I adopted as a sister many years ago. I would visit her and the family. They had her Grandma living with them. I became a part of the family. When she brought her man to the house to introduce to her grandmother also, grandma was confused and asked her, “How about the man in […]
He came to me right after a meeting with a seed in his hands to give to me. I had a prompt to ask, “When last did you send anything to your parents?” He was surprised. He said, “It has been a while”. “Do you send them things regularly?” I queried. He said, “I only do when they ask”. I […]
