I was packing my bags to travel that morning. A young man had been trying to see me. I told him we could see briefly. He came in with all excitement. There is a lady he has spotted and would love to marry. Well! I was excited for him too. But when he went on and on about what roles […]
I still remember where I was standing that day some years back when my Sagem phone rang. The voice on the other end was sober. It was that of a dear brother. He said in hushed tones, “My brother, I have sinned against God and disappointed you”. My heart skipped when he told me how he had impregnated a girl […]
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 […]
It was difficult to say but I told my lovely wife, “Asides 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. […]
A senior friend and dear brother went to preach in a church. When he was done, one or two people wanted to sow seeds into his life and ministry.

A beloved one reached out and said, “I should have done this two years ago. My heart has not been at peace but I would love to do it today”. He went ahead to apologise for an action of his that the Spirit of God had been dealing with him about. One of the warning signs you must never ignore […]
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 […]
My mentor taught me a profound life lesson, “If your friend buys a car or a second one while you have none, do not wonder why he cannot give you one. Buy him fuel as a gift for his new car”. Why? It is a dangerous slope when you cannot rejoice at the success of others! This trick of the […]
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 […]
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. The initial “She is my sister, and He is my brother” all looked amazing as Christians. They watched […]
