A dear father sent some people to the market to get him tomatoes. There was just one spoilt one among the pack. It began to leak its juice into the whole pack. By the time they realised, a lot of the tomatoes were contaminated and spoilt. The association you keep in life is key. Your association is never neutral. It […]
As a teenager, in the midst of my struggles for a pure walk, I would stay awake to watch the show called “Midnight Hot” on one of the channels of Cable TV. I only wanted to see the scantily clothed figures on screen. I stayed awake to watch! Fleshly desires kept me awake. I mean- I waited for that hour […]
My Mum once shared a story: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet.

I have instructions that payment be made by noon while I travel for a retreat. About two hours before the deadline, we needed seven thousand naira to balance it up. It was not a big deal. I […]
I was at a conference for ministers of the Gospel. One of the panellists was asked a question about how he had been able to sustain a life of discipline in Ministry. His answer has not left me. He said, “I have a Pastor”. You will not understand the weight of what was said until you think about the fact […]
Right after the meeting, the family walked up to me and said, “Pastor, the word you gave to us is very accurate”. As we interacted, I got to know that the wife had made up her mind to pack her load that season and leave her matrimonial home. God sent a word that brought peace to the storm. But another […]
I had some weird behaviour as a teenager. I was lazy. My school uniform gets washed a day before or very early on the day I need it. I would spread it on the standing fan so it can get dry quite fast. That is not as weird as what I do with lunch bowls. We used those tall grey […]
