WILL YOU COPY OR WILL YOU OBEY?

I was in a meeting as one of the guest ministers. At a point, the host and the congregation began to pray for all the ministers. When they started praying, I had the prompt to go on my knees but I noticed that I would be the only one if I did. I did not want to be the odd […]

THAT CONFUSION BECOMES CLARITY

Someone who genuinely cared already said to me, “The best to do is to begin to practice first as a lawyer or pick up a job in Ibadan. You can be going to Eruwa once in a while to organise meetings and outreaches. When the outreach becomes big enough, you can then quit your job to focus on the work […]

WE THOUGHT IT WAS NOTHING

There was ongoing construction work in our compound some years back. The bricklayers had moulded some blocks. After it dried, Dad wanted to invite them to stack the blocks pending the time it will be needed. Well! My cousin and I were attracted to the money they will be paid but we underrated the work. We volunteered with the whole […]

“PASTOR, WE HAD AN ACCIDENT”- THE POTENCY OF PRAYER

Just some few minutes after our Sunday Service, I was ruminating about the surprise lunch trip I had planned for Irewamiri when a dear one walked in to my office and said, “Pastor, we had an accident. The car is damaged”. I asked after his welfare and that of everyone who was in the car. I stepped out to check […]

LITTLE SHIFTS; GREAT MOVE (The Power of “Small” Contributions)

Just before the lockdown, there was a plan to train some of my people. It was a training for ministry. The aim was to raise a sense of spiritual awareness in life and equally understand their role in God’s eternal agenda. I simply dropped voice notes on WhatsApp for about 18 of them. After the first class, a dear friend […]

WHEN REST BECOMES DANGEROUS

There was a season when I thought I had worked a whole lot and I needed to take some rest. However before I knew it, I was already moving from resting to indulgence. Devotion dropped. Sleeping increased. I was also getting lost in movies and social media. I kept saying, “I want to rest”. Rest is great. Rest might be […]

WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPRESSIVE

Recently, I was teaching a group of teenagers. I asked the boys- If you are to have a car or a motorcycle and you want to leave a location that has some girls who you admire, how would you leave? The boys said, ‘They would rev the engine and leave with speed’. They thought that would really be impressive. Then […]

“YOU DONT NEED TO CRY…”

We stepped out in the evening and bought drinks for our daughters. However when we got home, it was Daniellle who had hers first. When she began to drink it and Olive found out, Olive went after Danielle’s drink. She grabbed it from her. When I took it from her and returned it to her sister. She began to cry […]

STOP. LOOK. CHECK.

Olive walked out of the room. When she stepped out, she knew that I followed her. Some few steps thereafter, she stopped and looked again. This time around, she noticed that I had stopped so she stopped also. She stood on the same spot. I was speaking with her mum. We both noticed that she stopped. Eventually when I began […]

MATTRESS: HARD OR SOFT?

My wife has jokingly concluded that she will always ask “about to wed” lovers, “What type of mattress do you like?” Why? For a really long time, she endured waking up each day on our tall bed and high (and hard)mattress. I did not know what she was going through until she voiced out her aches. As a loving husband, […]
