DO NOT “CELEBRATE” WHAT THE DEVIL IS DOING 

We were all standing in front of my parent’s house when Danielle walked up to me with a gentle tap and whispered, “Daddy, I saw a snake”. I was almost in doubt about the way she said it. But I asked where she saw it and took me to the flower bed just in front of the house. Right there […]

FATHER THAT CHILD

One of my beloved families, a dear son and daughter in the faith, became first-time parents, and I was in charge of naming their seed. I was awake, trusting the Lord for a Word to the parents. The naming ceremony was an hour-long service and the Word session was just about fifteen minutes. Early that morning, the Lord spoke to […]

DO YOU WEAR CLOTHES TO CLASS?

Years ago, I walked up to my pastor after service to exchange greetings with him. At that same moment, a young girl also walked up to him. Pastor did not blink an eye at what she wore. I was already a bit shocked.  The pastor said to her, “I heard you have gained admission into the University now”. She replied […]

“WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO MARRY YOUR BROTHER?”

As that priceless soul sat in front of me that day, I heard those words: “Sir, I feel nothing. I have done a lot of things wrong in my life”.  From getting sexually involved with close relatives to having an abortion. She had been through all. I began to talk to her about God’s love, emphasizing that in Christ, her […]

THE RIGHTEOUS MUST NOT GIVE EXCUSES FOR THEIR FLESH

As a teenager and the son of a Pastor, every Sunday evening was dedicated to evangelism. We would normally go from house to house. We went to different parts of town. One evening, the only adult with us was not heading back to church because her house was close by. I and another teenager had to return to church.  As […]

HOW COPYING CAN LEAD TO LESS

Some time ago, we were in an appraisal meeting in the ministry- looking circumspectly at the vision and things that have driven it this far. We concluded that there were things we lost because we wanted to copy something else. We concluded that “We must be secure in our model.” One of the things you must pray for in life […]

DEFLATE THE PRESSURE BEFORE IT BUILDS 

When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decide to get married, they must understand certain things. The first thing Irewamiri and I told ourselves was that we would save aggressively as we looked toward marriage.  The second was a simple principle: Whenever we are out of money, we would […]

“GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING”

We were travelling from Eruwa to Lagos. We had the first delay at the entry point to Abeokuta. We ran into a ditch, and the exhaust pipe got broken. We spent about two hours fixing that. Some minutes after moving, we got into heavy traffic. There was another delay of about an hour or more.  One of my dear ones […]

DO NOT CONCEAL WHAT CAN RUIN YOUR MARRIAGE

There was a Sunday afternoon that issues just began to brew. Irewamiri and I did not seem to find our sync and rhythm. She even strolled from the house for some hours. We would normally resolve all matters, no matter what, before going to bed. That night, I pranked her, but it solved the matter. I told her that our […]

THE STRUGGLING BROTHER, RANDOM GIRLS AND DATING APPS

A beloved one came to visit me some years ago. He had just landed his second job. We were both super excited about the possibilities of his life. But I had a prompt to ask him about his tithes and he admitted he was not paying tithes as he used to. I encouraged him to always pay his tithe.  (Tithing […]
