WHAT SEASON ARE YOU IN?

I was spending the weekend with my Aunt some years ago. She said to me on Saturday night, “Temi, we have this tits and bits segment in our teens’ service. Would you mind sharing with them?” I rarely could sleep that Saturday night. It was just meant to be for 10 minutes but I prayed and trusted God for a […]

WHEN YOU PRAY, LOOK OUT FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

I was in a camp meeting where a father and teacher in the body of Christ in our nation was teaching. He said to us, “You can have insight into God’s Word and it is still a dark season in your life. If you are struggling in anything, the season is still night”. And then he said to us, “Everyone […]

NOT LESS THAN FULL-TIME COMMITMENT

It will be eight years that the church began in Eruwa. In the middle of decision making, a beloved one said to me, “Temi, it is better you find a job in Ibadan or Lagos and then visit Eruwa for ministry once a month. When Eruwa is big enough to get your absolute attention, you will then move fully to […]

HIDDEN LIMITING FACTORS

I had quite a scary dream that day. I told my wife that morning about what I saw. Amazingly, it was something that she had been worried over. She warned me and suggested what to do and how to be careful. I told a dear friend also who agreed with me in prayers. One of the timeless strategies of the […]

DIFFICULT TO USE OR MOVE?

I was having a chat with some folks a while back and I said to them, “I am glad that God called me early and I responded early”. They asked for my reason and I said to them, “If I had gone ahead to become all I had the plan for, it would be very hard to heed the call […]

DON’T COLOUR IT!

Couple of years ago, I was teaching in church. I gave an illustration about women. A young man said, “They are all like that”. I used him as a teaching prop by asking, “Does that include your mum and sister?” He said, “No”. He definitely got the lesson and I went on teaching. The next morning when I wanted to […]

THE LOVELY GOWN SHE COULD NOT WEAR

I spotted the lovely beaded gown in our wardrobe. Then I realised that my wife had not worn it before. I definitely knew it would look amazing on her. Then I asked why she had not worn it yet. Her response is instructive- “My dear, I cannot wear it as long as I am still breast-feeding Olive”. Friends, there are […]

YOUR MEAL DETERMINES YOUR TABLE

It was lunch time during the conference. I strolled in the company of another pastor into the dining hall. The tables were set but the meals were different. Whatever meal you choose determines the table where you will sit. If you wanted rice, you will have to sit at a different table from your friend who wanted pounded yam. The […]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE IMPARTATION?

I was in a meeting a while ago when the Lord reminded me of something that happened about 4 years earlier: I had an appointment with my spiritual father. I just wanted to drop a gift in his office a day earlier when he told me to come back the next day. God had a plan. The next morning, I […]

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE?

In the early days of ministry when I had my first opportunity to sit with my spiritual father and have a conversation, I made a promise- I would not miss the monthly meeting where he teaches and imparts ministers. I kept to it for a while but I began to give excuses. The reason was simple- my motive as a […]
