WHEN YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR CHILD TURNS INTO IDOLATRY

After telling Dad about my call into full-time ministry in Eruwa, he did not say a word on the first night. It was a tough one. The next day, Dad said to me, “I thought you were coming home to tell me about your plans to leave the country or at least get a job. I was looking forward to […]

THE SPIRITUAL CURRENCY OF ‘LETTING GO’

It was challenging to say, but I told my lovely wife, “Aside from our offering today, this is the last dime on me. Please, let us kindly get some things into the house for food”. God, in his miraculous way, showed up. A few hours later, someone sent me a cash gift. It was a good amount. I was overjoyed. […]

WARNING SIGNS (5): “When Sin becomes your Alarm to do Good”

Whenever you walk in on my daughter doing what you have warned her not to do, she announces by herself, saying, “Daddy, I did not …” By then, you know what she did. Her wrong deed has become her megaphone for announcing her good act. It is an alibi of the flesh. It is the same for a man already […]

WARNING SIGNS (3): “WE DID NOT ACTUALLY HAVE SEX”

One of the challenging jobs of a pastor would likely be that of confronting people with tough questions and challenging them to holy living. Sitting with that young man in my office that day took a lot of courage. When I asked, “Have you been fornicating?”. His eyes dropped, but his answer reflected the deficiency that hell fed on as […]

WARNING SIGNS (2) – “WE ARE BOTH MARRIED”

Years back, I had just asked a senior friend that he hold me accountable for my walk on sexual purity when he told me a story: He was working in the same office with the wife of a dear friend of his.

WARNING SIGNS (1)- “Harmless Social Media Clips”

I noticed that in a bid to catch some rest off work, I spent time from one social media clip to the other. You click on one video teaching that blesses you. The next is also a powerful teaching, but the one afterwards is a movie clip with suggestive words, indecently dressed and suggestive scenes. Then you stumble on clips that […]

DEAL WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR 

One of my sons in the Lord who is just growing in the faith mentioned that he had been plagued for a season with the fear of death in his life and his family. He had become fearful. There was even pressure (due to his background) to make some rituals to appease a strange deity.  I laughed and asked him, […]
