IT WILL END WELL (A MESSAGE OF HOPE)

It seem like a dark turn- Mummy had to wait on the Lord for days to see the Lord turn around the situation. Over a hundred days after she lost her sight, she heard the Lord say to her, “It will get better”. She actually heard that in her local dialect. She rode in the strength of what she had […]

CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER PASTOR

Few years back, I noticed that there was a slightly consistent record of guests (who turned to attendees) in our church who came from another church in the vicinity. I became bothered. Guess what I did? I visited the Pastor and had a discussion with him. I told what I observed and said, “Is all well sir? Is there something […]

THE N.Y.S.C. TOILET EXPERIENCE

The days spent in the orientation camp during National Service were actually a great time except for one thing- The toilets. It was pretty tough using the convenience. They were not convenient at all. Because I could not stand going to the convenience, I reduced my food intake to more of liquid. I can actually count the number of times […]

CAN IT CARRY THE WEIGHT?

At a point, we were considering putting an extra floor on an existing building. We needed more space but the first question that popped up was “Can the foundation carry the weight?” We hesitated each time that question was asked. Why? When the building was planned, no one was thinking of more than a floor. In the planning, no one […]

PLATFORMS ARE TESTS

One of my dear ones had an invite to teach in a church. When he returned, what I heard gladdened my heart as a pastor. Someone said to him, “You are not the same person I used to know”. This was in reference to the capacity with which he ministered. Beloved, when doors open for you, they are your tests. […]

THE POWER OF A BURDEN

Months after I asked my wife out, we were discussing about the season and I reminded her of what I said the day I asked her out. I actually apologised. I said to her, “I have carried this burden for weeks. I apologise because now I have to transfer the burden to you as you decide whether you will marry […]

DEAR HUSBAND, THE BODY MUST NOT FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAD

My dear teacher said to us “When a person is moving, it is a seamless cooperation between the head and the body. That is the sign of good health. However when the body begins to feel the weight of the head, there is already sickness in the system” When you have headache for instance, the head becomes heavier. The entire […]

DEAR HUSBAND, DON’T REPORT YOUR WIFE

She asked me, “Pastor when I have an accountability relationship with my mentor or pastor, would it mean that I have to report my spouse to them when he or she misbehaves?” Dear husband, one thing that must never happen is that you begin to report your wife to your parents or your in-laws. You will be shooting yourself in […]

DEAR HUSBAND, PRAY FOR AND WITH YOUR WIFE

She was in a funny mood that morning. I kept praying under my breath for her all morning. She was giving me short word answers even though we had no misunderstanding. As we drove to work, I asked that we join hands and pray together. She did not want any of it. I wondered what was wrong. Just before she […]

DEAR HUSBAND, DO NOT FROWN ABOUT FINANCES

I found it very hard telling her what the Lord said to me. I could not. What if she took advantage of it? But the next morning something happened- she needed some money. God had said to me a day earlier, “Whenever your wife ask for anything, do not grumble. Give her more. Even when you do not have it […]
