A group of missionaries went to preach the gospel in a village many years ago. Halfway into the first day of their outreach, the entire village was in tears of joy and there was a revival. The missionaries felt it was too easy to get the entire village saved, so they began to ask questions. The villagers had a powerful […]
I have a dear son in the faith who is an artisan also. He does a great job in tiling and plumbing. He has some knowledge of electrical work also. He is a utility worker. I called him one day and told him to change the way he dresses and how he appears after work. He must never appear like […]
A dear friend used a powerful illustration once: If you have two bowls that look similar- you use one in the kitchen and another in the restroom. Then one day, you had a visitor who did not know the difference. You just met the two bowls in the kitchen. You are not sure of the one for the kitchen nor […]
I was reading about 3 am that September morning in 2009. I was awaiting a miracle for my Law School posting. It had become a naughty issue. That morning, while reading a book by Myles Munroe, “Principles and Benefits of Change,” I heard the Lord speak to me at my parent’s dining table. He said, “Son, there is a repositioning […]
My first time out of home as a teenager was at a State University. I was just about sixteen years old. One night, I was all alone in the flat when sickness struck. I had no phones to call home. My temperature was high. I was scared. As I shook with feverish rigour under the thick blanket, I began to […]
I still remember where we sat. I was trying my best to share the gospel with her. I noticed she was super quiet for a while. She then dropped a bombshell: “Temi, I appreciate your effort. I have lost it already. Why then pretend like I still have it?”. I had to tell her that living a pure life may […]
We were with a dear teacher, asking questions regarding leadership. He said to us, “Pastor Temi, anyone that is not being instructed or corrected is not being trained. Anyone that is not being trained will soon become a major source of trouble”. That is a very true statement. Correction means to make a change that makes something right. To correct […]
As we shared experiences about how different people got into the church, there was one that, to date I have not forgotten. An elderly woman shared that the reason why she came into the church for the first time was that I would always acknowledge and greet her as I walked into the church. She visits a bar beside the […]
I picked up my old journal and scanned through it. At one point, I stumbled on a list of prayer points I wrote down. I began to check through it and saw that the Lord had come through for it all. One was particularly striking; it was a request for a loyal yet trained person who could serve in an […]
Right after we had the very first meeting as a ministry, I was so elated that I sent a message to my mentor. His response was simple and unforgettable- “Pastor Temi, congratulations, but what next?” I did not know whether to rejoice or how to respond. I have celebrated a milestone, but truly, what next. Beloved, challenges are the food […]
