Today makes it eight years of Full-Time Ministry in Eruwa: Just after I settled it within me that I was heading to Eruwa for full-time ministry, I was on a public bus when a call came through. It was a friend I met on Facebook and I had not met in person. She asked me, “What are you planning to […]
We were on our way to minister in one of the State Capitals in the South West of Nigeria. We made a brief stop that Sunday Afternoon with our teachers. My teacher asked me, “How do you deal with insubordination in the ministry?” The question was quite prophetic for the season that we were in- the spirit of division and […]
While we ate at the dining table, Olive began to reach out to everything in sight. She wanted to eat what we were eating. As her pull was getting stronger and tougher, her mother had to say to her, “Olive, wait for your time. It is just about a month away”. She is on exclusive breastfeeding. When you are about […]
While I was moving our luggage into the car, I spotted a spider’s web just at the front tyre. It had built a web from the floor to tyre. When I spotted it, I was surprised. I parked the car quite late in the night and by morning, I was seeing cobwebs. That is the picture of how quick the […]
A dear elderly one in the ministry was confronted and asked why she would be attending a church founded and pastored by someone that is far younger than her. I am always impressed by her humility to learn and to grow. It is amazing that no one gets to the hospital and reject the services rendered by a young doctor. […]
We were to have vigils for a selected team every week in the month. I knew it was going to be demanding. While we contemplated it, I asked my wife if the vigil should hold at home especially because of our children. My wife said to me, “Let us use the church. We do not have to seek the most […]
A dear one visited us once and returned to tell others that, “They are always busy. They do not have time for a lot of play at all. They leave home early and return late most times”. That report changed the opinion that those in ministry are just lazy people who have a lot of time to waste. Friends, greatness […]
I was attending a conference. One of my friends insisted that he was taking me to the convener so I could greet him. When we got to him, he wanted to introduce me to him. The convener said, “I know him. Is he not the one in Eruwa?” Beloved, there is nothing you do that you must take with levity. […]
Early in the morning as we prepared for the day, I called on Danielle to take her bath. She wanted Daddy to start chasing her around and playing. I had to say to her that, “Dear, there is no time. You have to take your bath now”. For Danielle, there was no urgency. For Daddy, a lot was at stake. […]
We were visiting with our dear teachers. They asked, “Does the ministry have any landed property yet?” We replied in the negative. They said to us, “Once you get back, go and look for land”. We returned and commenced a search immediately. We did not just get land in a choice location; we actually got it as a gift. Friends, […]
