IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE ABOVE SIN!

A dear son placed an image on social media, and his friend responded with words that gave glory to God and turned a drug addict into a Christ lover. His story still delights me each time I think about it.  He was coming to church, but he was still struggling with addiction. He would leave the church to smoke his […]

BE A BLESSING AND NOT A BURDEN TO YOUR PASTOR

There was a season in ministry that I would wake up in the middle of the night praying about the church. A whole lot that I could not place my finger on what was going on. As I prayed, I would pause, sigh, and sometimes groan. It was like a divided house. There was gossip also flying here and there. […]

MUMMY’S COUSIN AND THE DILUTED SOUP

My mum shared a funny story with us some years ago. They had gone on vacation with her grandmother. Grandma would always prepare very rich “egusi” soup for them. It was always thick and full of fish. Once it was time for lunch while grandma was away, they would dish their meal and savour the delicacy.  But something strange began […]

YOU ARE A “DEAD MAN”

While teaching a class of young converts someday, I walked up to the first person and pinched him. He responded as he felt it. I went to another person who now knew what I wanted to do and pretended like he would not respond, but he did.  Then I asked them, “What if I pinched a dead man? Would he […]

FIGHT LOOSENESS

He walked up to me after service and said, “Pastor, I want to quit my training as an apprentice”. He went on to mention certain challenges that he was facing. He wanted to quit for those reasons.  I smiled and told him, “You are not going to quit. You have what it takes to endure till the end. If you […]

HOW TO BUILD A HABIT OF PRAYER

While growing up, we had a neighbour who loved dogs. Their dogs became the neighbourhood dogs- it was everyone’s pet. We had Jack, and we had Jill.  Jack had an amazing pattern. A few minutes to 4 pm every weekday, Jack would come to our door and wait- that was the hour my mum would leave for the church to […]

‘I PLAY FOR SO AND SO CHURCH’

I was really excited to see a young man whom I had known for years again. It was a mini-reunion, albeit by the roadside. I knew him as a committed member of a local church back in the day. I then asked him, “What church are you now?” His answer was, “I play for so and so church.” I was […]

WHEN YOUR FAITH IS UNDER ATTACK…

On the 4th of January, 1990, my mum was certified dead on a surgical table just before the procedure started. Dad said he just kept hearing heavy thuds where he was outside like the doctors were trying to resuscitate someone. In the middle of the crisis, she was rushed to another hospital, where she was certified dead by the Medical […]

CHANGE THE BATTLEGROUND

My younger daughter would always contend with and pull things out of the hands of her elder sister. I watched them struggle over a balloon one evening.  She took it from her elder sister. Danielle burst into tears while Olive was smiling. Then Danielle did something. She took it back from her. She went to a bookshelf and placed it […]

INTIMACY DOES NOT COME CHEAP

When mobile phones were just getting popular, there were just a few people who had phones, and there were a few places where we had connections; I remember my parents would drive quite some distance to find the network to make calls. It was a sacrifice. When it improved, I remember hanging the phone on the window at the exact […]
