As a young man, I battled with lust big time. I was the perfect poster boy- great academic results, sings in the choir, preached on Children’s Day or Teenagers services but I was eaten within with lust. There were images driven by wrong songs lurking in my heart. There was the tendency to undress the opposite sex mentally. There were […]
While reading I stumbled on a very powerful story that tells us how we must live our lives as believers: Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader who overthrew the monarchy and temporarily turned England into a Republican Commonwealth. He also ruled as the Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland. At a point, while he reigned, there […]
We needed some fuel very early in the morning. As we drove out to get fuel, we already knew the station that would be open at that time. It did not matter how far it was, we drove all the way to get what we needed. When it comes to destiny matters and your spiritual growth- do not make decisions […]
I was speaking to a dear one who had been through our ministry some years back and he mentioned how a particular act of ours remains a major milestone. What was the act? We periodically opened up our home for a host of them. We spend nights in prayers, the word and interactions beyond the pulpit. There was plenty to […]
Every time we are preparing for a major program and we know it will be intense, the final meeting is always about “Walking in Love”. We have a saying that, “Let it end with you”. If someone is under pressure and says what you do not like, let it end with you. Find an appropriate time to hold a conversation […]
I was teaching a class of young believers a while back and I said to them that “Your temptation is what you like. Whatever you do not like does not become a trigger for temptation for you”. One of them asked me, “What do you like?” I had a good smile. One of the timeless strategies of the devil is […]
He said, “Pastor, I had concluded I was leaving Eruwa that week but I came in for a meeting and you began to teach on how to make critical life decisions and that was how I knew what to do”. The first thing to consider when making a critical life decision like “Where should I settle?”, “Who should I marry?” […]
We were in an appraisal meeting in the ministry- looking circumspectly at the vision and things that have driven it this far. We concluded that there were things we lost because we wanted to copy something else. We concluded that “We must be secure in our model”. One of the things you must pray for in life is the grace […]
One of my teachers said to me, “You do not operate as though you are in Eruwa at all. You have succeeded in living above the spirit of the environment.” Many times, people step into our meetings and say, “We cannot believe there is a church like this here”. First, every location has a spirit that is prevalent therein. In […]
I was in a conversation with an elderly one and he referred to a cultural adage. I smiled and asked him whether there was a biblical back up for that adage. He could not find any but wanted to still justify the adage. I gave up. There are things you have accepted that has shaped your thinking and way of […]
