We were in a camp meeting and I sat in between two pastor friends. My two friends were moved to the front row while I was left on the same spot. My two friends were given words of knowledge while I got nothing. Thoughts began to come to me: “You are not that important”, “You wasted your time to come”, […]
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 […]
We were travelling from Eruwa to Lagos. We had the first delay at the entry point to Abeokuta. We ran into a ditch and the exhaust pipe got broken. We spent about two hours fixing that. Some minutes after moving, we got into heavy traffic. It was another delay for about an hour and more. One of my dear ones […]
We went to the building site – the children and I. We began to sing in gratitude to God in the main auditorium. After singing, Danielle began to pray, “Lord, we thank you because of the roof. We thank you for the doors and the windows. Lord, we thank you because we are bringing chairs and tables. Lord, we thank […]
My Spiritual Father shared the story of how he went to see the highly revered Pa S G. Elton. It was right after he knew that he would be sold out to God in full time ministry.

Danielle woke up in the middle of the night. She wanted to have some beverages. I was working in the library. Right after she had a cup of beverage, she came to me and lay on the floor right beside the table. I said to her, “Go to the room and sleep”. Her answer was, “Daddy, I want to stay […]
As kids, anytime we got sick in school and our parents were beckoned on. As soon as we get home, Mum would say to the sick- “Temi, you know sickness is not permitted in this house. So before you come inside, rebuke that sickness”. You need to see me saying, “In Jesus name, I am not sick”. She would definitely […]
We finished a major meeting some years ago and we had an appraisal meeting of the planning team. In the meeting, a team member began to fire on all cylinders about what went wrong. When he was done, I asked him, “Did anything go right at all?” He said, “Yes! But so and so was not rightly done”. I said […]
A dear couple friend of mine reached out to me a few months into the work of ministry in Eruwa and informed me that they would be sending the tithe of either the husband or the wife to the ministry in Eruwa. I was overjoyed and very excited about it. I said a word of prayer for them. At night […]
My daughter walked out to meet me. I was still concerned that she did not have her slippers on and told her not to step on the ground. The next thing I heard was, “Daddy, I am sorry. I did not intend to break it. I did not know it was there when I stepped on it”. She held on […]
