REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL [2]

Just after Mum lost her sight, she embarked on a fast, the word she got that season remains a strong point of light for her till date: “Count it all joy when you fall into different trials. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2,3) And then the Lord said to her, “Oluwafunmike, life will still get […]

REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL (1)

During courtship, my wife and I were having a disagreement, and I was scheduled to preach in two different meetings that were kilometres apart that day. Since I did not succeed in placating her, my heart was heavy. I began to wonder how I would carry through the day. Well! I resorted to praying in the Spirit as I drove. […]

LET NOTHING STEAL YOUR JOY

I left home that morning in very high spirit. I walked to the ministry office praying and singing. I was singing with joy. It rained the previous evening. It was a really cool morning.  When I got to the office and I opened the door, the song in my mouth vanished. The entire office was flooded. I was momentarily down. […]

YOU ARE NOT DOING GOD A FAVOUR

I was speaking with a dear son when he made a very profound statement. He said, “Sir, the Lord told me that whenever He asks me to sow a seed, it is because I am the one in need”. It was too profound for me.  There are times we posture as if we are doing God a favour. If God […]

IF YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT

He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as a role model. He wanted to look like him no […]

LEGIT EXCUSES AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 

I was already in the city of Ibadan before I sent Papa (my grandfather in the faith) a message that I wanted to drop a gift as sent by my Dad in his office. He replied and said, “Bring it tomorrow please. I am out of town”. Now, it would have been easy to say to him that “Sir, I […]

SOME WARNINGS CAN BE VERBAL

A dear father had a strong pattern of indulging in alcohol. It was so terrible that at a point when the wife delivered a male child through Caesarean section. He left his wife in her state and went to drink with his friends. He was the late-night crawler.  One of such nights, he returned home drunk and his daughter said […]

NOT EVERY WARNING IS VERBAL

I had just finished my Senior School Certificate Examinations. It was that season of life when you become really adventurous as a teenager. One of my friends rode a motorcycle to our house. I saw it as an opportunity to sharpen my riding skills. That afternoon, I began to ride right in front of the house. During one of the […]

IT IS STILL POSSIBLE

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 said to the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong and I understood.  But that evening, I requested […]
