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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Years back, an elderly one met one of the young ladies that I would normally relate with and asked her, “Are you not visiting Pastor’s house?” (A reference to my parents’ home). She responded that there was no one around among the children. Then he informed her that I was already back from school. Her response is unforgettable. She said, […]
There are many times that I have attended functions and I had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At […]
