WHY CAN’T IT BE LAGOS?

“Temi, even if you say God has called you to ministry, why must it be Eruwa? Why can’t it be Lagos? At least, that would have given us more hope” Those were the words of some of those who loved me dearly when I was picking up God’s call to ministry in Eruwa. “Lagos has more shine,” they said. For […]

“AM I EVEN MAKING SENSE WITH MY LIFE?”

A couple of years back in the early days of ministry, I was already fully dressed for our Sunday Service when I suddenly had a heavy heart; an untraceable burden. I grew weak. My internal strength did not support my external frame. It was a battle with thoughts like, “Are you now making sense with your life?”, “Is this what […]

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE LESS THAN YOU NEED

I needed money.I told God about it.There was no way I would go to church empty-handed. At least, I should have an offering to give to the Lord. That was my heart cry. During the day, I got a gift of 1000 naira (about 3 dollars). Just the moment my mind wanted to start feeling disappointed, I turned it to […]

OF HARD TIMES AND MANGO SOUP

I thought mum was being creative (she actually is), but maturity made me realize that it was because of the times- instead of meat in vegetables then, we had “real thick hard almost ripe” mangoes. And as kids, we were always looking forward to Mango soup! (I salute mothers). I do not know how she came about it but one […]

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY

Of all the crazy things my wife and I had done in our walk with God, we took it to a new level sometimes back when we gave away something that took us our entire marital life to build. Tough but we did. I was at work one day when my wife sent a text that she needed me at […]

SPILT PEPPER

It was a beautiful afternoon when mum sent me to buy and grind some pepper from her regular supplier. I borrowed Ayodele’s (my childhood friend) bicycle and had a good ride to the pepper seller. I diligently tied the pepper to the carrier at the back and rode all the way home. I returned the bicycle; untied the small bucket […]

THE BIG BAG WE CARRY

Some years back, I was in one of those meetings where you could already sense poor organization but you still sense divine leading to be a part of. It was a tough week at home financially. I took a soft loan from my beautiful wife for fuelling. It was a long-distance trip and a vigil. I sorted my own accommodation. […]

HOW ABOUT THE YOUNG LADY…?

I was already on my way to my Spiritual Father’s office to deliver a message from my Dad. I did not think it was important seeing him. I simply texted that I would drop something in his office. Then I got his reply, “Son, come tomorrow. I want to see you”. I simply replied in the affirmative. I had to […]

IT IS NOT THAT HARD (Dealing with Emotional Attachments)

I knew I had fallen in love with a friend of mine. We were already having conversations that showed our pursuit of trying to find common ground. We were at that stage of finding it difficult to say “bye” or “goodnight”. I knew her movement and she knew mine. One night, I knew that this would not end up in […]

CALLED AND STRANDED 7 (This is How to Change Seasons)

I have been writing for about 6 years. But three years ago when the Lord would breathe afresh on the writing ministry, there was a heavy demand God placed on me. The instruction was so tough that I cried obeying God. It takes just one instruction to move from one season to another. But right after then, the instruction about […]
