WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (1)

(I believe God will have me use these series to help someone come into a season of shift no matter the circumstance around you) The first time I got an invitation to preach as a teenager in a church was in 2007. It was a brilliant outing. I prayed well. I shared with those teenagers in 10 minutes and they […]

DEAR WIFE, YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL

Some time ago, as we drove out to church, I gave my wife the remaining money I had both for offering and a little extra to cover for our weekly expense (it was not adequate). I explained to her that I had no more money on me. She smiled and responded, “You are a blessed man”. My spirit was lifted […]

LOWER BUNK CONVERSATION

I laid on my lower bunk that evening after a rigorous time out at the orientation camp. I had a book on my bed. Then a fellow corps member strolls by and asked whether he could get to read the book. I was seeing him for the first time. I simply replied, “No you cannot”. And then jokingly added, “Buy […]

SHE TORE THE RECEIPT

We stopped at an eatery to buy some snacks. After payment, the receipt was given to us. I handed it over to the sales person who would give us our order. When she collected the receipt, she tore it and handed it over to us and then gave us the snacks we ordered. Then I said to her pranking her, […]

“YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW ME”

It was on the first of January, we wanted to have some chicken barbecue. We stopped by to buy charcoal. When I stepped out of the car to pick up two bags of charcoal of 50 naira each, I saw the very elderly woman who was selling. It struck me that I must give something. I found a crisp 1000 […]

I AM A HARPIST!

I sat on the deep freezer in the kitchen as I narrated to my lovely wife that after all we had put into getting the process done, we would have to begin again- the little hundreds of thousands was gone. I could not hold back the drops of tears that came running down my eyes. It was meant to be […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (6)

That day as we climbed the steps to his office, he asked to know the church that has the highest impact on young people in Eruwa. I began to mention churches with a huge number of youths in attendance. Baba told me, “Son, when I ask you about impact, do not talk to me about numbers”. The truth is I […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (5)

When my phone rang that afternoon, it was a much needed answers to prayers. A family I love called to inform me of their decision to send their tithe to the ministry in Eruwa every month. I was overjoyed. I was so glad. This is breakthrough. Then comes the night as I prayed and God told me to turn it […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (4)

I was on my way to a speaking engagement when the call of a dear daughter came through: “Pastor, I wanted to tell you that I got an invitation to speak and the pressure to go is high but I sense I should stay because it would mean that I would abandon my local assembly here that day” She turned […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (3)

There was a day that I was at work and my Dad called me to help do something for him. It was a busy time and I honestly did not want any other schedule to intrude. I initially said “No! I cannot” but my heart smote me. I realised that if my spiritual father calls me at that same moment, […]
