PRAY; BUT LET GOD DECIDE HOW HE WILL ANSWER

As a pastor of a new church, I really prayed and trusted God for increase. As part of the effort to see an increase, I began to step out on visitation. One day, we had five new people visit the church from the same house. I visited them the following week and they all promised they would be in church […]

STOP INTERRUPTING DIVINE PROCESS WITH HUMAN IMPATIENCE

My second daughter would at times wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most times is to carry her right after she has slept off. Once she is […]

We needed a place to keep our new captive so we placed it in a case in the corridor of Kayode’s house. We went out to play for […]

OBEY EVERY PROMPT OF THE LORD EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND

After the filling of the foundation and the concrete flooring in the church project, it was such a delight to take some of the church members to the site after our Sunday service. After we had prayed, the Lord instructed that one person hold on to the iron rods that will eventually become the pillars. The Lord asked that we […]
