VULNERABLE MOMENTS AND THE WRONG BOSOM

Church started when I was still single. I was 25 years old. In those early days, as much as I wanted to obey the Lord passionately, there were questions I could not answer. One day, I went to see a dear teacher in another city. It was a tough season. As I drove back to town, I was crying on […]

NEVER DISREGARD THE GENERATION BEFORE YOU

I finished speaking in a meeting some years ago, the chief host in the meeting happened to be a father-in-the-faith who had spent many years in ministry with an impact globally. He asked me to sit by his side and said, “Pastor Temi, how is the ministry in Eruwa?” The next statement he made got my ears standing at attention. […]

IF YOUR BROTHER INTRODUCES ME AS HIS WIFE, WILL YOU AGREE?

After some sessions of teaching a while back, a lady requested to see me. She said, “I have no more emotions. I have been involved in all sorts- my case is so bad that I have an abortion because I got pregnant for a member of my family”. She recounted all sorts of stories. After she shared all, I emphasized […]

RANDOM GIRLS, DATING APPS, AND THE STRUGGLING BROTHER

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 […]

Upon returning, she wanted to sit. She forgot to exercise the usual caution of feeling for both arms of the chair to […]

MUMMY’S COUSIN AND THE DILUTED SOUP

My mum shared a funny story with us some years ago. They had gone on vacation with her grandmother. Grandma would always prepare very rich “egusi” soup for them. It was always thick and full of fish. Once it was time for lunch while grandma was away, they would dish their meal and savour the delicacy. But something strange began […]

DO NOT DRIFT FROM DESTINY RELATIONSHIPS

Some few years into ministry, I would regularly attend a monthly ministers’ mentoring session with my father in the faith. It was a commitment I made to him. But life happened, I got caught up in the routine and activities of ministry and I thought I had a legitimate excuse because the road trip was becoming more tedious. Our roads […]
