IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY (7)

I began to culture my day for the calling during my service year. I would spend much time studying during the day and would spend the night in prayers in our Christian Corpers family house in Akwa Ibom. Those days, once I was done with office work at the law firm where I was learning, I would dig into books. […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY 6

When the question landed, I thought I had given an intelligent answer, but his laughter was an awakening for me. He asked me that morning at the breakfast table, “Son, what do you see in Eruwa?” I told my grandfather in the faith, “I see myself controlling the spiritual and economic climate of the city”. He then said to me, […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY 5

After about a year in the land of Eruwa pursuing the call of God, I received an amazing offer to pioneer a youth church for a church. It was a great offer at face value. I would be more comfortable, and I would also be pastoring in a high-network area in a city. Some of my beloved ones also saw […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY 4

I was taking an evening walk with one of my dear ones. It was during the early days of saying “Yes” to the Lord to return to Eruwa for the work of ministry just after service year. She said to me, “_______ said that you are only being driven by youthful exuberance. That even if God has called you, why […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY (3)

I was passing by a construction site some years ago. I saw huge tanks on the site and massive holes being dug. That was when I knew it was a filling station. If a filling station will be able to dispense fuel, there must be tanks buried underground.  Tankers do not bring fuel and dispense directly to cars or cans. […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY (2)

My grandfather’s voice in the faith keeps ringing out loud till today. It was a meeting of Ministers. He said, “The only thing I need to teach you is how to pray. You will figure out the rest by yourself”. He will always add, “When man works, man works, but when man prays, God works.” He crowns it by saying, […]

IF YOU SENSE THE CALL TO MINISTRY (1)

I was once sitting beside a dear teacher in a green room alongside other ministers.  She turned and said, “Pastor Temi, you make it so easy to teach you. I love your meekness”. I thanked her but then said, “Ma, I made enough mistakes trying to figure it out myself that I knew at a point that I could not […]

BAD ATTITUDE AND DIVINE FAVOUR DO NOT MIX

I had a very important meeting to attend, and I also needed to get some other things done. There was no way I would miss the meeting. It was way more important to me. So, I wanted to delegate the things I needed to fix to another person. Someone said to me, “Sir, even if you call them, they are […]

WHEN IT COMES TO DESTINY…

My grandfather in the faith shared the story of how he and his beloved friend and brother would regularly visit an elderly person anytime they were chanced to be together in the city. It was a regular thing. As time went on, they realized that they always return with doubts rather than faith, a weakened will to pursue divine vision […]
