We were to host a meeting, and we had a list of seven speakers. It was to be a great meeting. Some were travelling from great distances. They were accomplished people in their fields. However, there was a challenge—as the meeting day got closer, there was not enough money to [...]
Read MoreThere was a day my dad called me and mentioned that I had to visit a dear relative who was bereaved in Ibadan. He had gone like twice in a short while. He insisted I needed to go. I wanted to go but I had to tell him that I [...]

I was returning from a trip to the South-South about ten years ago. A dear one picked me up at the Airport in Lagos. He was to drop me off at the park so I could pick up a cab to Ibadan en route to Eruwa. Just before we got to the car park, he pulled out a pack and […]
I was on my way to a meeting when some of the things we needed at home at the season began to flash through my mind. I quickly shoved it aside because I reasoned already that once I get the honorarium where I was heading, the needs would be solved. As simple as it seems, I knew it was a […]
One of the greatest blessings I have had in the past year is a dear brother and sister who are also amazing ministers of the gospel. Our mental shift started when we decided to attend one of their major meetings. When we got there and saw the organization’s operations, we knew we had to learn the wisdom behind the operations. […]
Just as we were wrapping up the communion service, I sensed a prompt in my heart that it was still possible to use our new facility for the 10th anniversary and convention of the Church. I asked the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong, and I understood. But that evening, I requested that […]
I pastor young people in a very unique setting. Let me explain- the average young person in the town is either a student, a corp member, an indigene looking for greener pastures or a worker seeking to be transferred to the city. Some folks would leave their families in cities while they work in our community. They often travel to […]
While working at night, I walked into the girls’ room and did not find Danielle on the bed. I was not bothered because I knew she would sometimes leave her room to come to ours. We have had to address that a couple of times. I was going to our room with the passionate corrective heart of a father. I […]
We were enjoying a great meal of rice, beans, plantain, and chicken. While savouring the sumptuous meal, my teeth had an unwelcoming crunch on a stone. I could not swallow the meal nor continue to munch on it. I stopped and walked from the meal to the nearest bin to spill the whole meal in my mouth. But I still […]
My daughters were with me in the office after one of our services. At a point, I stood up from my seat to wash my hands at the restroom. In the twinkling of an eye, Olive was on my chair. She looked at her sister and said, “I am now a Pastor.” I looked at her and had a good […]
I struggled a bit with the prompt that Irewamiri was the woman to marry. By pastoral privilege, she had told me she did not love the “work of ministry” in the strict sense of it. I also learned that she was not yet filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I mean, she did not […]
We love our holidays at Akure. It was one of the high points of the year for us. The ambience of Vining College has not faded a bit. There was, however, a mystery about Grandpa’s wall clock that we needed to solve. Grandpa’s wall clock with its giant pendulum will open up every hour, and a bird will come out […]
