As I was leaving service year, I already knew that I was heading to Eruwa for ministry. I sat down and documented what I perceived to be my next season. It was titled, “Life After Service Year: Embracing the Call and Pursuing Purpose”. I sent it to my mentors. There [...]

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 […]
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. […]
He is a key person in the church. He walked to my office and said to me, “Pastor, I am sorry I did not say this earlier. I will leave service to speak some where”. I responded, “You can go but when you return, we have a discussion”. Friends, platforms and invitations are exciting. They always seem like affirmation that […]
He looked at me that night and said, “I have done everything I can but the ministry is not growing”. I asked him, “Describe how you feel in one word. And please dont try to sound like a pastor”. His answer was simple, “Frustrated”. I could pick it. I could see it. He has put in so much money- big […]
That morning in his office, I told him: “Sir, I simply want to ask that I learn from you. Baba is a General. You are a Major General. There are things Baba will say that will take me years to understand. Can I constantly seek explanations from you too sir?” That question redefined a lot of things for me in […]
For the first 3 years of my pastoring work, I simply thought I could get the work done by being prayerful, studious and preaching skillfully. Honestly, I tried my best. I preached some great sermons but I missed it at the very core- I thought I could figure it out myself. The first mistake that many young people make is […]
I saw the sincerity in his eyes. This is not a place he wants to be. He could not imagine how he got there in the first place. Then I told him my personal discovery: “We all get tempted. I get tempted also. But I realise that it is always quite hard to cave in to temptation when I have […]
As I turned that morning, a song came out of my mouth. It was talking about the Spirit of God sustaining us. It mentioned about His Spirit infilling us rather than being full of self. It was 2.18am in the morning. I picked my phone and kept a record of it. But I kept singing it that morning. The day […]
I walked into the hall and told my dear brother and friend that I would not be able to wait anymore. I had to sort out an emergency before it was dark. I had the key of my car locked up in it. There was no way I could access the spare key. I was out of town! The moment […]
While working late into the night, I noticed there was some biting sensation around my legs. I decided to take action incase it was mosquitoes. I had a repellant cream. I did not want to go in to pick a new one but found an old tube somewhere close. I forced the tiny cream in it out and I applied […]
