HELP FOR THE GIFTED (4)

One of my dear sisters on this journey said to me, “I love your appetite for knowledge” when she discovered that I travel monthly to attend the Ministers Seminar in my Spiritual Father’s Church. But for me, it was more than going after knowledge- I just knew that there are people that I must not feel like I have outgrown […]

HELP FOR THE GIFTED (3)

For many years in ministry, I was the only one who worked in the ministry office. I was gifted but I was alone. Those who joined the work were only there for some time. Just one day of sitting with my spiritual father and receiving instructions changed the story and turned it all around. I did as instructed and three […]

HELP FOR THE GIFTED (2)

The day she shared the testimony of how she ended up in church, I learnt a major lesson. She mentioned that she was impressed when she saw the way I would greet everyone that I see before I enter the church office- it does not matter who they were or what they were doing. She ended up in church and […]

HELP FOR THE GIFTED (1)

I remember my folly when I boasted as a university student that, “If I ever get to pastor, in few months, I will build a mighty congregation even in a place like Eruwa”. I came into ministry with that mindset thinking it is the gift that will do the work. It did not take me long to realise something powerful- […]

THE HAND BAND SHE GAVE ME

My fiancee (as she then was) gave me a lovely hand-band. From the day she gave, I did not pull it out- I wore it to sleep. It did not leave my hands for thirteen months. As a matter of fact, to everyone else, it was just a hand-band but for me, it was something more than that. It was […]

WHEN PROMOTION BECOMES A TRAP

I was surprised when she told me that she had to resign. She was on a high flying career that anyone would envy. She resigned because she realised that her spiritual growth was limited and she needed more time for her family and to focus on God’s call for her. She ventured into something personal. One of the things that […]

THE DAY DADDY SPOKE FOR ME

It was my first few months in ministry, my Grandfather was visiting with us in Eruwa. He looked at my Dad and said, “I still don’t understand what Anuoluwapo is doing. Couldn’t he have combined whatever it is without leaving legal practice?” I honestly did not have an answer until Daddy said to Grandpa, “If I have a chance to […]

I KNOW I AM MEANT TO SERVE GOD

After sharing the gospel with him that evening (not for the first time), he told me that he knows that he would still serve the Lord. He told me a story: Back in his primary school days, he had unique experiences. His teachers called him pastor. If anyone was sick in school, before they send the person to the sickbay, […]

YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE

About three months into pastoring work in Eruwa, a friend told me about an opportunity to travel out for some weeks under a youth leadership programme. I asked my friend a question, “Church is just starting. If I travel out now, who will pastor the church? What will happen to this assignment?” I looked unserious because I did not go […]

PURITY IS A WEAPON OF WAR

There was a day that a friend and I fought in the secondary school. I knew I could not physically defeat him but I had a sharp mouth. I eventually abused him with something so painful that he went home to tell his mum what I said. His mum paid our home a visit. She said, “Even if you wanted […]
