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.

At a point, I realised that it was getting harder to wake up at night to pray. My schedule daily was heavy no doubt but it was easier to press my phone than to stay in the place of prayer. When I discovered this pattern, I issued myself a warrant- I cut down on my meals at night. I ensured […]
We were excited that our trip to the well would come to an end and yes it sure did. Daddy dug a well right behind the house. However, our excitement was seasonal. Why? Our well dries up once the rainy season is over. Once there is dry season, we have to go back to the well. Today, the compound has […]
A dear pastor was teaching many years ago and I heard him say, “A loud Amen is a venison for the soul”. I did not understand him fully until I became a pastor also. There was a day I began out saying blessings over the church and the atmosphere was not receptive. I stopped and moved on to something else. […]
Weeks before we went for the monthly ministers meeting with my spiritual father, I had to spend time investing in prayers. I had set my heart on a particular matter. It had troubled me for a while. We had a great moment at the meeting. I gave attention to every word. And it was as though my Spiritual Father was […]
