APPRECIATE INTEGRITY

While we were seeking landed properties for the ministry about eight years ago, we spotted one not too far from the rented property we were using. I eventually got the opportunity to see the owner of the land. While we spoke and interacted about his property, he said to me, “If not that your father is not a greedy man, […]

APPRECIATE EARLY AWARENESS

I remember the first time I had a pull towards my spiritual father. Some beloved ones were talking about ministry exploits. They shared testimonies of what the Lord had done through him. I did not know that it registered in me. But his name came up in my second year at the university.  When I eventually gravitated towards him, I […]

APPRECIATE SILENT LABOURS

One of the fathers in the faith who helped in the spread of the gospel all across our nation especially among young people as a Travelling Secretary of an Evangelistic Organization was honoured by one of the ministries in the land. He was already in his 70s when this happened. When I saw the update, tears dropped from my eyes. […]

APPRECIATE THE HELP OF GOD

Irewamiri and I were having a conversation. She just mentioned how we had nothing in our living room when we got married. Our seats were improvised- we used to sit on those yellow twenty-five-litre jerry cans. I still remember our first set of upholstery.  Do you know that after getting comfortable and setting up our first home, God still instructed […]

APPRECIATE SINCERITY

Some years ago, we were to host a leadership conference.  Aside from myself, we had plans to host about seven other speakers (I am not sure I will do that again). About a week before the meeting, it became clear that it would be dishonourable to bring speakers without the required financial pool to take care of at least their […]

APPRECIATE PLATFORMS

It was the last Saturday of January in 2007. I was visiting with my aunt. She said to me, “Temi, there is a ten-minute session in teens church called ‘tits and bits’. We would be glad if you could share for ten minutes tomorrow”. I agreed. I stayed in the place of prayer. I shared that Sunday on “The Story […]

APPRECIATE LABOURERS

I once had a colleague while on a course. She happened to be a daughter of missionaries.  We started a conversation one day about her journey.  She said to me, “My parents have done so much in missions that my own intent is to make money”. I heard what she had not even said. Our stewards in the ministry gave […]

APPRECIATE SOLID CHARACTER

During our building project, I remember the morning we needed eight hundred thousand naira. At midnight, while I danced and gave God praise, someone I had known since 2004 sent half a million as a seed for the project. I was really grateful. While on-site the day the money was required, I was thanking God when a dear sister sent […]

APPRECIATE ACCESS

A dear brother shared a ministry training material with me when I needed help developing a similar one. A few months later, I was in a meeting where another minister requested the material after spotting it on me. I sent it to him. I felt I did the wrong thing. I should have asked the owner of the document for […]

APPRECIATE CORRECTION

When I saw her writing on the wall with a crayon, I paused what I was doing and said to the beloved three-year-old, “You don’t write on the wall. You can write on paper”. She squeezed her face in protest. I was shocked. She then told me, “I will write on the wall”. When I saw she was insistent, I […]
