I had given a payment transfer deadline to the ministry office earlier in the day to make some transfers on the church building project. I told them I believe that what we needed would have been supplied by that time. Some few minutes to noon, I noticed that the account was still the same. I wanted to make a transfer […]
I was working in the library. Before I could blink an eye, Danielle had gone inside a shelf and closed the door in a bit to hide from Olive. My fatherly instinct came on. I stood up and opened the shelf and gave them both a stern warning. “What if they tried this on a day no adult was close”. […]
After agreeing with the Lord that I would serve him in Eruwa full time, I had an opportunity for a three weeks break outside of the country. At least, that could help me have some reflection and retreat. While preparing to go to the visa office, the Lord told me that week, “Johannesburg, No! Go back to the place I […]
I had been in communication with my uncle. He had taken interest in me since I was a little boy. He loved my passion for the Lord and I was also a brilliant chap. We had some plans ongoing.

It was to run for some months. I appreciated the kind gesture but I was forced to ask, “Who will pastor the church when I am away?” We […]
As we got into the hotel and I settled in. The host minister said to me, “Please, order for anything that you would desire to eat. We have paid in advance already”. I nodded in understanding. He then added, “Pastor Temi, I know you. You are not a heavy eater. You will surely leave us a lot of change in […]
I was billed to minister in a city outside my base. They asked me a couple of questions and I kindly requested that no matter the arrangement been made, I would have a minister with me at all times. There would never be a time that I would be alone. Weeks after the meeting, a pastor in the church told […]
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.
