I was cleaning the house many years ago when I stumbled on a collection of letters written to me some years ago in my secondary school days. I had my eyes on some beautiful girls then. As I read the letters, I had a good laugh. I collected all of it and flushed it right through the water closet. I […]
A cool evening it was. I went visiting a female friend. We had not known each other for such a long time. We had time to really catch up on many things. Her phone rang. It was her fiance. Then she goes through what seems like a drilling process from an interviewer. She kept answering questions till she began to […]
As we sat at the breakfast table, my fiancee (now my wife) asked my spiritual father, “Daddy, what is meant to be my role in ministry?” He looked at her and said, “Protect him from danger. A pastor wants to be all he can to all people” He then told us, “No one must ever come in between you- not […]
I stepped out of the car as soon as I parked in the church office. A little boy, just one year and some months old came walking towards me, with all eagerness in his steps and that unique excitement of a child. But he was really dirty. I made a brave choice to carry the baby. As I walked towards […]
Some 16 years ago, I went visiting with one of my favourite uncles in Lagos (He sings, plays the guitar well! He rocks. He pastors and He gives). As we got into his house late in the evening, my dear uncle points and says “Temi, that is where you will spend the night”. Without delay, I picked up my school […]
It was around 5.50am. We had gone to drop off a friend at the park. Just as we were about exiting the park something interesting happened: Just in front of where I parked, there was a park for motorcycles. I noticed it was safer begging the two commercial cyclists to kindly allow me to pass through their park rather than […]
On our way to Abeokuta on the 19th of April, 2012 for my cousin’s wedding, my mum made a profound statement that has stuck to me as a life lesson on faith and obedience. Dad drew her attention as we drove past an optical clinic that she used to frequently visit during the first few years of her eyesight challenges. […]
Just at the commencement of ministry in Eruwa, I had spent the morning in sighs and some tears. It was such morning that you shut up the doors and scream “Lord, Step in. You who called, strengthen me” and you add the song, “My Helper o”. I laid on the bed in my room for quite about an hour when […]
The thoughts in my head was not as smooth as the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos. The romance between the tyres of the car and the road inside Victoria Island explained the moment I was about to have- a face to face time out with my brother-in-law (to be) and his spouse. The best question of that night (in my honest […]
I was chatting with a dear friend who said some profound words that no one has ever said to me in eight years of ministry. It lifted my spirit man so much that I had some tiny drops of tears swelling up. I knew it was not a bluff because this is a family that shows care by actions and […]
