Growing up as a pastor’s child comes with its troubles. There was a day that we came back from church a bit late. We had hardly settled down after eating and clearing dishes when Dad peeped into our rooms and asked that we get ready for the regular evening evangelism meeting. My older brother did not blink when he told […]
Two of my sons in the faith got admission to the University. They came to ask me questions and seek counsel. One of the questions was, “Sir, what would you do differently if you were to get admission to study at the University afresh today?” I did not think twice when I told them, “I would not waste time before […]
The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (11)- CONTRITENESS In the first year of ministry, I was teaching in a midweek service, and I made a point from the Bible story about women. A young man who was a church member said, “Pastor, all women are like that.” I did not wait for his statement to get cool when I […]
There was a year at our stewards’ hangout for the ministry when I decided to represent my group in a football match. It was a lot of fun while it lasted. However, by evening, after I slept and woke up, my body began to communicate with me- I was in pain. My entire body, especially my thighs, became very heavy. […]
I was returning to catch up with a meeting in Eruwa. I was actually speeding a bit but praying in the Spirit at the same time. I heard the warning voice of the Holy Spirit, “Son, slow down.” At that moment, I was ascending. As I got to the peak and was to make a descent, I saw a herd […]
Sometimes, in 2019, we perceived it was time to make a major move regarding our life and ministry. It was to bring a huge shift, and we began to take steps towards it. 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
