GOD’S STANDARD IS HIGHER!

I was taking a walk with a brother one evening, and I had to confront him about why he was asking a lady that he had not even asked out whether she was still a virgin or not. He answered, “I cannot invest these years in keeping myself and then marry someone who did not do the same.” I took […]

PLEASING GOD: THE ULTIMATE GOAL!

There was an interesting night that we were having some difficulty resolving our disagreements. It was one of those nights that the atmosphere grew cold, and it seemed like it would remain that way. Suddenly, we heard our neighbours’ voices at the back of the house. We looked out and saw they were trying to kill a snake. I rushed […]

“LORD, WE STARTED CONFUSED”

I documented my journey with God and His call upon my life to serve in ministry beginning from Eruwa. I sent it to my dear pastor as I was leaving Akwa-Ibom State after my national youth service. Pastor prayed for me as I went to bid him farewell. He said in prayer, “Lord, a lot of us started confused, but […]

“MA, THIS IS NOT THE AMOUNT I REQUESTED”

My friend shared a story of how a random woman showed up at their door and asked his Mum that she wanted to see a Doctor. Well, she mentioned that she needed some financial assistance for her boy in school. He did not know her but went in to envelope an amount to support her.  A few minutes later, the […]

THE PRICE TO PAY FOR INTIMACY

That evening, after doing all I could to win back Irewamiri’s attention, it was like nothing worked. I eventually left the room where she was at her request for some space. As I went to our room, the warmth was not there. I had to make a wise decision.  I followed a humbling instruction from the Holy Spirit. I took […]

DISTRACTION, A SILENT KILLER OF INTIMACY

I did terribly as a young husband. One evening, I returned from work, and as my habit was, I picked up my phone and began to press it. I did not know Irewamiri had called me like three times in an attempt to tell me something. I was so distracted that I did not know when she left our bedroom […]

DEAR VISIONARY, DON’T LET EXHAUSTION DERAIL YOUR MISSION

During one of our major projects in the ministry, a dear son reached out with a personal seed, saying that I needed to take some rest. I appreciated his gesture. What an amazing heart.  It was noted when he discovered that I did not take the break as discussed. He simply said, “I knew you would not take that break. […]

DO THIS IF YOU WILL KEEP GROWING

From the early days of ministry, we had a culture we practice after every meeting. We would call a meeting of everyone involved on the team and hold an appraisal meeting where we get to ask these questions: • What did we do well?• What did we do less than expected or wrongly?• What can we do better next time?• […]

MY NAME IS “DORCAS” 

We named our second daughter, Ayoigbala (The Joy of Salvation). My parents named her “Ibukunoluwa” (The Blessing of the Lord). We nicknamed her Olive. Our dear grandfather in the faith named her “Dorcas.”  For a long time, many people would call her by either the first two names or her pet name. Suddenly, we noticed that my daughter began to […]

THE RADICAL TRANSFORMATION FROM ‘BAD BOY’ TO ‘JESUS BOY’

“Pastor, they have been making jest of me.” Those were his first words as he settled down to speak with me. I needed an explanation. This is a young convert who just gave his life to Christ and was growing in the faith. His concern got at me.  But I let out a smile, and he explained how some of […]
