10 LESSONS FROM THE YEAR: COUNTDOWN TO 34 (2)

I thank God that the blessings of fathers and teachers met me in a season of prayer and fasting. But then I realised that I had to press in also for the words they had declared over me. I did just that. I prayed.I took a fast. Why? Prophecy is an invitation to get on your knees till your eyes […]

10 LESSONS FROM THE YEAR: COUNTDOWN TO 34 (1)

On my last birthday, my parents, my spiritual father, my pastor and teachers prayed significant prayers over me. They were the hall marks of a new season for me. Amazingly, they said the same thing. There is nothing like the blessing of fathers. When the sons of the prophet reasoned that there was a need for expansion, they got the […]

IT WILL END WELL (A MESSAGE OF HOPE)

It seem like a dark turn- Mummy had to wait on the Lord for days to see the Lord turn around the situation. Over a hundred days after she lost her sight, she heard the Lord say to her, “It will get better”. She actually heard that in her local dialect. She rode in the strength of what she had […]

CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER PASTOR

Few years back, I noticed that there was a slightly consistent record of guests (who turned to attendees) in our church who came from another church in the vicinity. I became bothered. Guess what I did? I visited the Pastor and had a discussion with him. I told what I observed and said, “Is all well sir? Is there something […]

THE N.Y.S.C. TOILET EXPERIENCE

The days spent in the orientation camp during National Service were actually a great time except for one thing- The toilets. It was pretty tough using the convenience. They were not convenient at all. Because I could not stand going to the convenience, I reduced my food intake to more of liquid. I can actually count the number of times […]

CAN IT CARRY THE WEIGHT?

At a point, we were considering putting an extra floor on an existing building. We needed more space but the first question that popped up was “Can the foundation carry the weight?” We hesitated each time that question was asked. Why? When the building was planned, no one was thinking of more than a floor. In the planning, no one […]

PLATFORMS ARE TESTS

One of my dear ones had an invite to teach in a church. When he returned, what I heard gladdened my heart as a pastor. Someone said to him, “You are not the same person I used to know”. This was in reference to the capacity with which he ministered. Beloved, when doors open for you, they are your tests. […]

THE POWER OF A BURDEN

Months after I asked my wife out, we were discussing about the season and I reminded her of what I said the day I asked her out. I actually apologised. I said to her, “I have carried this burden for weeks. I apologise because now I have to transfer the burden to you as you decide whether you will marry […]

DEAR HUSBAND, THE BODY MUST NOT FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAD

My dear teacher said to us “When a person is moving, it is a seamless cooperation between the head and the body. That is the sign of good health. However when the body begins to feel the weight of the head, there is already sickness in the system” When you have headache for instance, the head becomes heavier. The entire […]

DEAR HUSBAND, DON’T REPORT YOUR WIFE

She asked me, “Pastor when I have an accountability relationship with my mentor or pastor, would it mean that I have to report my spouse to them when he or she misbehaves?” Dear husband, one thing that must never happen is that you begin to report your wife to your parents or your in-laws. You will be shooting yourself in […]
