“DANIELLE, GIVE ME”

I handed over the remaining drink to Danielle. Just before she finished it, I asked her to give to me. She refused vehemently. I said, “Baby girl, I was the one that gave you now. I can give you more”. She refused to give me. Then it struck me how hard giving can be. I remember years ago when it […]

“I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU”

That day just before we ended talking, I told him, “I will be praying for you”. I meant it but for a long while other things crept in and I did not pray for him. The morning I remembered, the Holy Spirit scolded me: “You said you will be praying for him. Have you?” Do not just brandish words all […]

DON’T PACKAGE THE TESTIMONY

As we discussed our journey in the ministry and encouraged each other, I shared a testimony. While sharing about how God blessed us in return for something we gave out sacrificially, my brother asked, “Those who gave you, did they know about the sacrifice you made?” My answer was not a Yes or a No! I simply said, “They are […]

REFLECTIONS: 7 YEARS AND COUNTING

I remember my Grandpa saying to my Dad, “I don’t understand what Temi is doing. Is he opening a law office or what is he trying to do?” Grandpa did not understand me yet 4 months later, he sent me a huge cash gift that was used to renovate the venue we got for church. It was such a miracle […]

WORD, SEASONS AND EMOTIONS

In December 2017, as we prayed in Iseyin trusting God for what He will have us do in the New Year, the Lord spoke to me: “Begin to publish the devotional and distribute it for free”. I froze. I noted it. I did not have the finacial capacity to birth or sustain it. This was two weeks to the end […]

THE FROZEN ORANGE DRINK

I walked to the deep freezer to pick a drink and Danielle was right at my heels. She noticed the bottle of orange drink. She wanted it. I simply told her, “It is frozen and you cannot have it. Wait for it to defrost”. She took the bottle from me and took it to her mum. Her mum repeated the […]

“I FEEL DIRTY”

After taking time to teach on Prayer and the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, the young lady desired this awesome gift of God but there was an issue: “Sir, I feel dirty” I paused and said to her, “That is why you need the Holy Spirit. He is the refiner’s fire. He will refine you and burn out the dross”. […]

THE BURNING COAL

Dad spent his toddler days in the village before his uncle took him to the city. Back in the days, whenever they go to the farm and they needed fire to cook. They would lift up their eyes to check for where smoke signs can be found. Someone runs to fetch fire from the source of the smoke signal. The […]

I AM SORRY LORD FOR YESTERDAY

I was preparing for service that night when I stumbled on these words in my bible, “I am sorry Lord for yesterday”. Definitely, that is not a bible verse. It was a thought I penned down some years back as I studied the word. It jumped at me once more. It was right under these verse: “I have found David, […]

OUR NEIGHBOUR’S BICYCLE

Our childhood friends had lovely bicycles at different times. We would join them to ride. They had other lovely games also. Some of them were gifts from their relatives. One of those days, I went to Dad to ask that he should also buy us bicycles too. Daddy’s response became a life mantra, “Son, we give you what we can […]
