My teacher and mentor shared a story with me:His mentor just finished teaching a session in the state capital. The host pastor requested that he should drop off the Reverend at a car park. Rather than do that, he volunteered to drive him the whole three hours back to his base. He said some few minutes into the journey, he […]
I was visiting a doctor friend at work when I saw a young lady with a fully swollen mouth. My friend said to me that she has a broken jaw. That was even worse. How did she get it? She got in between two people exchanging blows in a bar. First, there is no in-between in the things of the […]
As I was wrapping up my service year, my uncle desired that I relocate to the United States to pursue my Masters Degree while I also get to grow in Ministry. Great plans. I had to explain that I am called to serve the call of God in Eruwa. I did not know what was on my uncle’s mind until […]
A couple of years ago, I rented an apartment. After the old occupants moved out, I and some others had to do some clearing out of the apartment. We made a lot of discoveries that tell a lot about the lifestyle of the former occupants. The unwelcoming sight of used condoms stuffed in a bottle hidden in a corner of […]

I was driving home one day and I noticed something I had not noticed before. I had driven the same way. It was over a year of taking the same way. What did I see? I saw the foundation of a building. Why did I not see it earlier? It was already overrun with thick bush. Why did I get […]
I was speaking to a dear sister some years back. I noticed her spiritual growth as her pastor and I was excited about it. Every Pastor loves a growing sheep! I told her the truth about her courtship. She had been talking about the man in some previous conversations. I told her, “Can I tell you this? The pace at […]
We once had a unit head in church who began to show signs of lack of commitment and divided attention. After reaching out on informal grounds and we noticed no change. I instructed that a memo be issued to know why the unit head was not available for a major conference and did not give any notice at all. The […]
