PROOF OF GROWTH-RESPONSE

My wife called out to my daughter, “Moyantoluwa”. She kept saying, “I am coming’ but she did not leave what she was doing in the living room. Minutes after, she comes strolling in to the room. Her mum said to her, “Moyantoluwa, when mum calls you, is it good to delay?” (Well! My daughter said ‘Yes’ and Mum said the […]

THESE MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

The police officers were ready to play the delay game. I stood by the car while they went away with my car particulars. They reasoned I was not going to “rub their palm”. After a delay of about 30 minutes, I walked up to the most ranking officer and said to him, “There are two reasons why I would not […]

BREAKFAST FOR ONE

I was out of town for a meeting and I had to stay in a hotel. I went with one of my men. The hotel bill came with complimentary breakfast for one person. From experience, knowing that hotel meals could be expensive, I gave him some cash to get some meal at an eatery for breakfast. When I got to […]

REFLEX RESPONSES

In our early days in marriage, I had a funny habit that I had developed over time and I do not think about it before doing it. When someone sneezes, my response is always “Same to you”. I only meant it as a joke but it did not go down well with my wife. I still know the exact spot […]

I SHARED THE MONEY EQUALLY

The first time I was invited to come to speak in a teens camp, I went with some of my dear friends. I knew God was going to do amazing things through our lives in our generation. It was some distance from school and I paid the charter for the cab. After the meeting, the honorarium was handed over to […]

WHAT IS YOUR TEMPTATION?

I was teaching a group of young disciples and we got talking about temptations. One of them asked, “Pastor, what is your temptation?” I thought briefly and said to them, “I get tempted when there is no money on me”. I am tempted to take money that is not mine and spend with the hope that I will return it. […]

WHEN I DID NOT SEE CLEARLY

From my primary school days till my first three years in secondary school, I do not get to see the board clearly because I am short-sighted. I would have to leave the back of the class and get my seat close to the board so I can see what the teacher had written on the chalkboard. I had earlier had […]

THEY WANTED TO CALL IT OFF

I got sufficient notice to be a part of the meeting in a higher institution. I put it to heart. Weeks later, the organizers were honest enough to call me and relay their financial challenges. They requested that I should not come since they could not bear my travel and accommodation cost. I asked them to give me a while. […]

BARNABAS MOMENTS

When my phone rang and I picked it up, it was a dear father on the other end of the line. He just finished speaking in a church in Lagos. While discussing with his host, the host mentioned that their youth convention was on the way and he was still thinking of who to invite. This amazing father did not […]

VINEYARD OR VEGETABLES

“Temi, we know you can pioneer a youth church for us. Kindly think about it and let us know” Those words were enough to send me on a thinking spree. Could the Lord be saying something? Maybe Eruwa was just a test after all? Maybe my season in Eruwa is over at last. This was after my second year in […]
