WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (4) (MEN THAT BUILD)

When I resumed the call to ministry in Eruwa, I realised that I would need men. The terrain I pastor is not where a lot of people would want to stay back and settle. God answered! Today I am blessed with amazing men. God can give you the gifts of men but it must be your primary assignment to train […]

LESSONS FROM MINISTRY: CONTACTS BUT NO CONNECTIONS

When I sat with my Spiritual Father earlier on in ministry, I told him that in a bid to learn of him, I would attend the monthly ministers seminar. Well! After some few months, my interest began to wane. At a point I was absent for almost more than 6 months stretch. Let me tell you something that will keep […]

WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (2)

WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (1)

(I believe God will have me use these series to help someone come into a season of shift no matter the circumstance around you) The first time I got an invitation to preach as a teenager in a church was in 2007. It was a brilliant outing. I prayed well. I shared with those teenagers in 10 minutes and they […]

DEAR WIFE, YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL

Some time ago, as we drove out to church, I gave my wife the remaining money I had both for offering and a little extra to cover for our weekly expense (it was not adequate). I explained to her that I had no more money on me. She smiled and responded, “You are a blessed man”. My spirit was lifted […]

LOWER BUNK CONVERSATION

I laid on my lower bunk that evening after a rigorous time out at the orientation camp. I had a book on my bed. Then a fellow corps member strolls by and asked whether he could get to read the book. I was seeing him for the first time. I simply replied, “No you cannot”. And then jokingly added, “Buy […]

“YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW ME”

It was on the first of January, we wanted to have some chicken barbecue. We stopped by to buy charcoal. When I stepped out of the car to pick up two bags of charcoal of 50 naira each, I saw the very elderly woman who was selling. It struck me that I must give something. I found a crisp 1000 […]

I AM A HARPIST!

I sat on the deep freezer in the kitchen as I narrated to my lovely wife that after all we had put into getting the process done, we would have to begin again- the little hundreds of thousands was gone. I could not hold back the drops of tears that came running down my eyes. It was meant to be […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (6)

That day as we climbed the steps to his office, he asked to know the church that has the highest impact on young people in Eruwa. I began to mention churches with a huge number of youths in attendance. Baba told me, “Son, when I ask you about impact, do not talk to me about numbers”. The truth is I […]
