I watched a bit of wrestling matches as a teenager. When two wrestlers are in the ring, the goal is always to weaken and then defeat the opponent. Without weakening the opponent, you cannot defeat him. You would see the wrestlers pin the opponent down while the official counts to [...]
Read MoreDuring my secondary school days, I had a resumption routine for new sessions. I would get three pens and a ruler. My notes were always extra neat. After writing every topic or subtopic, I would neatly underline it with a red pen. It was always a double line. I would [...]

I was having an in-between session chat with some other ministers during a conference when one of my friends said, “All I wish I can take from you are your men. Give me those men of yours.” We had a good laugh, but it was a way of complimenting the amazing commitment of men working in the ministry. Beloved, one […]
Danielle was playing some educational games on her mum’s tablet. Olive was observing and dancing to the music coming from the games. Some minutes later, she began to reach out and grab the tablet from her sister. While she struggled to get it from her sister, I called out to her and said to her, “Olive, you cannot handle it […]
A young man reached out to me some time ago and said to me, “You dropped a note for me some years back with the words, ‘Great men make use of the night.’ Sir, that brought a shift in my life.” He backed it up with a Thank You seed. See these verses: Ex. 14:20- “…throughout the NIGHT…”Ex. 14:21- “…all […]
One of my dear ones had an invitation to teach in a church. When he returned, what I heard gladdened my heart as a pastor. Someone said to him, “You are not the same person I used to know.” This was in reference to the capacity with which he ministered. Beloved, when doors open for you, they are your tests. […]
About ten years ago, my sister-in-law came to Eruwa a few weeks before delivery. During her stay, her office requested that she needed to come and get some things fixed. It was meant to be a short trip to and fro for a maximum of five hours. I thought I could catch up with office work. As the day turned […]
When mobile phones were just getting popular, there were just a few people who had phones, and there were a few places where we had connections; I remember my parents would drive quite some distance to find the network to make calls. It was a sacrifice. When it improved, I remember hanging the phone on the window at the exact […]
Some years ago, I was seated by my daughter, who was admitted to the hospital. It has been days of physical, financial, and spiritual demands. At the same time, I was doing my best to help a dear one in another city find help through a naughty case that was almost becoming a criminal. It was not one of the […]
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. […]
