“OLIVE, WAIT FOR YOUR TIME”

While we ate at the dining table, Olive began to reach out to everything in sight. She wanted to eat what we were eating. As her pull was getting stronger and tougher, her mother had to say to her, “Olive, wait for your time. It is just about a month away”. She is on exclusive breastfeeding. When you are about […]

THE COBWEBS ON THE CAR

While I was moving our luggage into the car, I spotted a spider’s web just at the front tyre. It had built a web from the floor to tyre. When I spotted it, I was surprised. I parked the car quite late in the night and by morning, I was seeing cobwebs. That is the picture of how quick the […]

PRIDE WILL REDUCE YOU

A dear elderly one in the ministry was confronted and asked why she would be attending a church founded and pastored by someone that is far younger than her. I am always impressed by her humility to learn and to grow. It is amazing that no one gets to the hospital and reject the services rendered by a young doctor. […]

THE DEMANDS OF LEADERSHIP

We were to have vigils for a selected team every week in the month. I knew it was going to be demanding. While we contemplated it, I asked my wife if the vigil should hold at home especially because of our children. My wife said to me, “Let us use the church. We do not have to seek the most […]

GREATNESS IS NOT BY EASE

A dear one visited us once and returned to tell others that, “They are always busy. They do not have time for a lot of play at all. They leave home early and return late most times”. That report changed the opinion that those in ministry are just lazy people who have a lot of time to waste. Friends, greatness […]

“IS HE NOT THE ONE IN ERUWA?”

I was attending a conference. One of my friends insisted that he was taking me to the convener so I could greet him. When we got to him, he wanted to introduce me to him. The convener said, “I know him. Is he not the one in Eruwa?” Beloved, there is nothing you do that you must take with levity. […]

THIS IS NO TIME TO PLAY

Early in the morning as we prepared for the day, I called on Danielle to take her bath. She wanted Daddy to start chasing her around and playing. I had to say to her that, “Dear, there is no time. You have to take your bath now”. For Danielle, there was no urgency. For Daddy, a lot was at stake. […]

THERE IS A TIME TO RESPOND (2): GO AND LOOK FOR LAND

We were visiting with our dear teachers. They asked, “Does the ministry have any landed property yet?” We replied in the negative. They said to us, “Once you get back, go and look for land”. We returned and commenced a search immediately. We did not just get land in a choice location; we actually got it as a gift. Friends, […]

THERE IS A TIME TO RESPOND 1: “SON, CALL ME”

I had been awake from about 2 am. I laid on the couch in the living room just after 4 am. I wanted to catch a nap. My phone was on silent mode. I wanted to sleep a little before dawn. Then I had a prompt about fifteen minutes later to check my phone. Right there I saw a text […]

“I DON’T KNOW BUT JESUS KNOWS”

Mum shared a story recently: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet. She was in shock. She carried me to the bathroom and poured water on me. I jerked to life. She administered pain […]
