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 […]

UNDERSTANDING SACRIFICES UNVEILS THE BEAUTY OF SERVICE

We had a daily training running. Part of the school’s schedule was a midnight watch of about forty-five minutes. I had led for about eight weeks daily except for weekends. Afterward, I began to assign the role to other ministers.  I remember asking one of them after his first time leading. He said, “It was difficult to sleep till that […]

BE A BLESSING AND NOT A BURDEN TO YOUR PASTOR

There was a season in ministry that I would wake up in the middle of the night praying about the church. A whole lot that I could not place my finger on what was going on. As I prayed, I would pause, sigh, and sometimes groan. It was like a divided house. There was gossip also flying here and there. […]

BE CAREFUL SO YOUR FREE TIME WON’T BE YOUR FREE FALL

During my National Youth Service, I was posted to a Local Government Secretariat. When I went to officially report at what we normally called my Place of Primary Assignment, I met with one or two of the officials.  The Director of Personnel Management was a very warm woman. She said to me, “The Law, we would accept you here, but […]

“SEE! WE ARE ALL ANOINTED”

Some years back, I got information that one of the corp members in the church was admitted to the hospital. We left all we were doing to check up on the lady. As we were approaching the door of the room where she was, someone said in excitement, “Thank God Pastor is here.” At that very moment, another corp member […]

BEFORE MORE… SAY THANK YOU FIRST!

Danielle had been with her Mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves), and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts […]
