SILENT AUDITIONS (1)

SILENT AUDITIONS 1 I stumbled on an old note of mine of late. I saw some things that the Lord instructed me to do. But my heart broke. Why? The one who was meant to enjoy the benefit written in it was not patient enough. When God told Samuel that He had chosen one of the sons of Jesse to […]

TOUGH THANKSGIVING

As we prayed, I picked an impression that we should give thanks to God but not just by singing songs. I requested everyone to write down 12 specific things they are grateful to God for. It was when we began to write that it dawned on me that making a list of things to be grateful for was not as […]

REVISITING LESSONS

When I saw it, I said it out. Irewamiri asked, “Where did you see that?” I told her it was right on my phone. I had taken note a while back that: “Whatever will cause the downfall of a man followed him to the top”. Can I say it again? “Whatever will cause the downfall of a man followed him […]

“ARE YOU A PASTOR?”

On the trip, the police officer asked me to park for routine check. After checking the car’s trunk, he requested for the papers and my driver’s license. I handed it over to me. While checking the papers, he asked me, “Are you a Pastor?” I replied in the affirmative. He said to me, “You should have introduced yourself and I […]

OUR WHATSAPP APP

We were simply looking into each other’s eyes and talking. An evening time out was enjoyable. Then she remembered that the Whatsapp App on her phone was not working. I picked the phone and began to work on it. After succeeding, I handed the phone over to her and she said “Thank you”. She began to check up the phone […]

Danielle came to sit on my laps as I savoured the rice and goat meat. She definitely wanted some. I gave her about two spoons of rice. Then her focus changed, she wants “fish”- that’s meat. I picked up a tiny part of the meat and gave her. She shook her head. I told her it was meat. She still […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (8)

My late Grandfather queried that day, “What is Anuoluwapo doing? Is he opening a law office? Why cant he open a law office alongside ministry also?” My dad was there to rescue me from the questions as I just looked at Grandpa at that dining table in Eruwa. Dad said to him, “He has made a wise choice. I really […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (7)

When I noticed that my heart was drawn towards the young lady in my church and I perceived she would be my wife, I went to my spiritual father to inform him. His counsel remains timeless and I can never forget: “First, be sure you heard God. Second, Do not marry a woman who does not believe in God’s vision […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (6)

My late grandparents has something very unique that I can never take for granted- relationships. They have such solid bonds with people from different seasons of their lives. Whenever I sit with corp members exiting Eruwa, I sound it loud and clear- do not joke with relationships. Keep in touch with us and with your batch! One mistake we make […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (5)

It was a high brow hotel on the Island somewhere in Lagos State. I had stopped over to say hello to a dear mentor who was in town. After our discussion, I dipped my hands into my pocket and slipped a cash gift into his hands- It was my way of saying thank you. He does not need my money. […]
