DO NOT WAIT FOR PERFECT SETTINGS

The Lord asked us to start a new work in another city. It was another season of making decisions. For a while, we kept waiting to have everything ready so we could begin all that we had in mind. One day, the Lord said to me, “Do not delay again. Maximise what you have”. While still looking for a permanent […]

YOU CAN STILL BIRTH GREAT THINGS, EVEN NOW

When my mum realised in February 1986 that she had taken in, she found it hard to tell her husband. Why? They had both settled that two children were enough. And like most people would say, “God had blessed them with a boy and a girl”. It seems like the perfect full-stop moment and the traditional ” hang my boot” […]

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN HARD TIMES?

As a young boy, I had the opportunity to see a diligent medical doctor go about his work almost every weekend. One of the days I cannot forget was a woman in the pain of labour who began to rain curses on her husband. She was not finding the process of labour easy. The matron shut her up and asked […]

WATCH YOUR WORDS IN TOUGH TIMES

We had to camp teenage students sometimes back. It was seven weeks of a lot of sacrifices- time, sleep and even meals. At a point, we had to take all the foodstuff we left at home to the camp. I got a report that one of the teens showed ingratitude. While trying to correct him, I said, “Even we are […]

THERE IS MORE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

The car needed quite some repairs. It had been giving different signs. I requested the mechanic to send the amount needed to fix the car. When I got the price, I was just laughing. The devil wanted to suggest ingratitude to me. I smiled again and began to make a mental list of the things that I was grateful for. […]

NEVER JOKE WITH THE PRESENCE

Danielle woke up in the middle of the night. She wanted to have some beverage. I was working in the library. Right after she had a cup of beverage, she came to me and lay on the floor right beside the table. I said to her, “Go to the room and sleep”. Her answer was, “Daddy, I want to stay […]

THE BLESSING OF KNOWING YOUR TEACHERS EARLY

When I was heading for National Service in Akwa-Ibom State, I got connected to a family friend whom I had not seen in years. I told him I would call once I got to Akwa-Ibom. When I landed in Akwa-Ibom, I boarded a taxi to camp. I called him from the taxi. Guess what! He was on the same flight […]

STAGES IN A FALL- THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS SYNDROME

I still remember the spot where I was standing when a dear brother called me to inform me that he impregnated a young lady. I froze. He said, “I am sorry. I have disappointed everybody”. My response to him was simple, “I love you brother. You will come out stronger”. He wondered why I responded that way. I told him […]

STAGES IN A FALL- REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

It was the long vacation during our days in secondary school. My dad sent home one of his assistants to get him a new shirt. My curious mind would not let him go without an explanation about why my dad needed a new shirt at work. He explained to me. When Dad returned, I was waiting for him with a […]

STAGES IN A FALL: THE REALITY STAGE

She recounted how she walked into her bathroom and took several showers hoping hard that the stings of condemnation could be washed away. She wished that the stain of guilt could be removed. It was a tough one. When the nurse told her to look at the screen to pick the heartbeat of the baby, she could not! She said, […]
