FAITH TO ASK

He was in the office of a senior colleague when another colleague came in casually and announced that he was relocating. There was a prompt in his heart to ask whether he had plans to sell his car. He explained it off. He did not want to look like an opportunist. But the prompt did not leave. He summoned courage […]

WHEN DADDY SAYS “WELL DONE”

One of the days I returned from working on the video version of the devotionals, I stopped by in my parents’ place. Dad brought out a bottle of wine and gave it to me. He then said, “Son, for being hardworking”. He then added, “Well done”. Instantly I had a flash to the day when we shall all be held […]

HE TOOK HER SPIT

My sister and friend was heavily pregnant. They had gotten into the car about to drive out when she felt like expunging some phlegm. In her state, she felt too tired to stand. She could not get back into the house. The husband made the most interesting move ever- he asked the wife to spit into his mouth. The wife […]

SERVICE DOES NOT REDUCE

I got in far earlier than the scheduled time for the meeting. It was a long way from base. When I got in the hall, it was still being cleaned. Despite the publicity materials, no one in the hall recognised me. I sat at the last row in the back. One of the ladies cleaning then came over with this […]

For almost two years, I had what I would call a wilderness experience in ministry. I was far from my Spiritual Father and my Teachers. One day in devotion, the spirit of the Lord rebuked me. It was hard but I picked up my phone and reached out to my Spiritual Father. I apologized for my distance and mentioned that […]

Listening to her, I knew quite a work had to be done. I met a friend who had a 3-year-old daughter. Her daughter recites a bible verse every week. While we […]

DROP THE TOY TO GET THE MEAL

I was feasting on a plate of beans and plantain. Olive was fiddling with her toy guitar. She wanted to get on the chair and have access to what I was eating. She tried climbing with her guitar but it was hard. My daughter made a great choice- she dropped her toy and climbed the chair. She reached out to […]

GIFTS ARE NOT ENOUGH, CHARACTER COUNTS!

A dear brother was in training once when one of his colleagues asked a question: They have two young men in the ministry. One was heavily talented but not available. He does things as he wants. The other brother was not as talented as the first but he was available and very consistent with a teachable spirit. Now the ministry […]

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE IT BUT…

It was a Sunday morning. We stood by the roadside awaiting a cab when a Toyota Camry packed by our side. The gentleman asked where we were headed. He knew the place and although it was not his direction, he chose to give up a lift to church. We were three lawyers in the car that day. When I spotted […]

“HOW WILL YOU BE PAID?”

After listening attentively to me while I narrated my call to ministry in Eruwa, a dear father asked me a question, “Temi, I know God has called but how will you be paid?” I smiled and said to him, “Daddy, if we can trust multinationals to pay their employees without fail. Do you ever think God can owe the ones […]
