THE BLESSING OF A FATHER IS A DOOR OPENER

As I was about to leave the office of my grandfather in the faith, he said to me, “Son, has anyone blessed you in foreign currencies before?” I replied in the negative. He then opened up his bag, enveloped some foreign currencies and handed it over to me backed up with these words, “From today, I command foreign currencies to […]

“SON, CHOOSE ONE”

Some years back, my grandfather in the faith asked me what I see about the land of Eruwa. I answered that “Papa, I see us controlling both the spiritual and economic climate of the land”. He had a good fatherly laugh and he then said to me, “Son, choose one”. He then added, “Son, I have been preaching the gospel […]

MY PHONE COULD NOT STAY ON SILENT MODE

I had sent a text message to a very important personality- a father in the faith. I knew he would either call back or send a message in return. My phone would most times be placed on silent mode. However, because I did not want to miss his response or his call, I increased the call volume on my phone […]

HONOUR THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU

Dad had some appointments to keep in Ibadan. He requested that I drive him. I agreed. At least, it is a privilege. We always get to have great father-son moments on the road.  As we got back to Eruwa, the first place we would get to was my house before his house. He asked if I would head to my […]

DEAR FATHER, LEAD LIKE A PRIEST!

I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad’s office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady. He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word.  Two days after my wife said “Yes” […]

“DADDY, YOU TAUGHT US…”

Danielle walked into my room with an activity book in her hands. She said, “Daddy, I am sorry. I accidentally tore my book while I was drawing on it”. I told her, “Girl, that’s fine. Be careful next time”.  The next thing she said was what shook me to my bones, “Daddy, you taught us that when we do not […]

WHEN YOU ARE “TEKELLed”

On this day 15 years ago, I drove my mum to church for a women’s meeting. While I waited for her, I decided to read and study in the car. I still remember the Green Nissan Primera (Station Wagon) parked under a cashew tree in the church compound. That evening, God told me eight things about my life’s journey. Some […]

WEIRD INSTRUCTIONS THAT PRODUCED WONDERS

A dear teacher shared a story once: Some years ago, he was in the queue at his bank to withdraw from the Automated Teller Machine. The Holy Spirit told him to go to another bank to withdraw the money. It felt weird. First, the other bank would mean extra charges. Second, he would have to join another queue again.  He […]

NO EVIL WILL COME NEAR YOU 

Recently, Dad reminded me of something very unique and reassuring: He used to drive a Nissan Primera. He would normally park the car under a cashew tree in front of the house.  One evening, it was quite stormy. It did not occur to any of us that he should move the car. When we woke up, we saw what amazed […]

IF YOU CARRY A VISION BUT SHED SECRET TEARS

It was a season of many questions that I could not answer. I was still a young single pastor trying to find my way in the first few months of planting my feet in Eruwa. I stayed indoors and cried trying my best to pull through the season.  But God is merciful. He will never leave us without a witness. […]
