We believed that it was what the Lord would have us do.  I had the opportunity to share with my spiritual father, and he told us two […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (7)- CONFIDENCE

About six years ago, we were privileged to be at dinner with our spiritual parents. We were just still hanging around them then as once-in-a-while “time and chance” seekers. We were not even students like that, but thank God for a large heart.  At the dinner table, Irewamiri had questions to ask Mummy. As she asked one question after the […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (6)- COMPETENCE 

We were in a friendly discussion recently when the conversation went in the direction of a young man who had worked in an organization some years back. It struck me heavily when the boss said, “There was great transformation during the short moment he was with us. I just could not keep him for that long because I desired that […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (5)- CAPACITY 

Many years ago, a beloved one handed over one of his cars to someone else to use. It was still in great shape. However, some months down the line, the car was already grounded. He discovered that the one to whom he gave the gift could not manage the gift. He ruined it.  A dear teacher told us the story […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (4)- CLARITY

Before I left service year, I had written a full document titled “My Life After Service: Pursuing the Call and Embracing Purpose”. I documented my dealings with the Lord from 2006 to 2011. I sent this document to my mentors and my pastor during my service year.  Just before I left service year, I had the opportunity to see my […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (3)- CONTENTMENT 

I wanted to visit a dear one who has done well with himself. He lives in a high-brow area and drives ‘powerful cars.’ He is still quite young. I always desired to be in his space to challenge him about his faith- he was more into making money than he was about his spiritual journey.  Before I left the house, […]

THE “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (2)- CONSISTENCY 

I have been writing and sending out messages for the past eight years. It was a simple practice of journaling that became a ministry to bless lives through writing. Today, this writing ministry is a blessing to many globally, with many streams flowing from it.  One quality that you cannot joke about is consistency. You must be consistent. Consistency is […]

THE “C”s THAT WILL HELP YOU  (1) 

A beloved one reached out to me. Someone called him to request that he carry out a business task. The person had introduced himself as someone who had a relationship with me. He wanted to seek my opinion. I did not hesitate to caution him to deal with restraint. Why? I knew another businessman who had complained that he owed […]

THE FOCUS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

In my first year in full-time ministry, I asked my grandpa in the faith a simple question: “Sir, if you are to start ministry all over again, what will be your three major priorities?”  He responded with a question, “Son, are you trying to buy land now?” I told him, “No, sir”. He asked another, “Are you trying to buy […]

BEWARE OF WHAT CAN CORRUPT THE ASSIGNMENT

In the second year of ministry, we were preparing for a meeting called Bold and Beautiful Conference. All hands were on deck the evening before the meeting. When we were done in church, a beloved member who had a car decided to drop off those who lived some distance from the church. After they left, there were three of us […]
