IF YOU CARRY A VISION AND THERE IS A SETBACK 

In the second year of ministry, we needed to formalize a process. We had spent quite some money and we awaited a positive response. We waited and heard nothing. After a while, I got a message that we have to start all over again. I was broken. I knew how valuable the money of God’s people is. It pained me.  […]

IF YOU CARRY A VISION BUT ARE DISCOURAGED

In our first year in marriage and my third year in ministry, I woke up on a Sunday morning and focused on the morning routine just before service. After I had fully dressed, I suddenly became discouraged. It was so bad that I told Irewamiri that I was not going to church that morning.  I could not place a finger on what […]

MY PARKING ERROR AND THE AVOIDABLE CRASH

As I returned from work that evening, I spotted my neighbours (doctors) in front of their house. Instead of driving home, I drove to the front of their apartment which had a little slope. I got out of the car and began to gist with my neighbours.  In the middle of our conversation, I saw the car descending the slope. […]

“THAT IS NOT THE TEMI I KNOW”

During my university days, a dear brother met one of the young ladies who was a friend of mine (those undefined friendships) and asked her if she was not going to Pastor’s house (my parents were pastors). She first responded by telling him that no one was around except Dad and Mum. He then mentioned that “Temi is back now”. […]

DEFEND YOUR PASTOR

Throughout the meeting, as my Spiritual Father taught us and led us to pray, I could see that he was a bit tired. He had been on a national tour leading a prayer movement. It was a hectic season. Just before we wrapped up the meeting. I went to fetch my chequebook and wrote him a token. As I handed […]

ISSUES ARE DIFFERENT FROM PEOPLE – LOVE PEOPLE, SOLVE ISSUES.

A childhood friend and I fought back in our secondary school days. It got a bit tough. He had the physical might and I had the mouth. I used my mouth. I abused him that he got home and told his mum what I said. His mum visited my parents that night and said, “Even if Temi and my son […]

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, a lot of people would call her by either of the first two names or by her pet name. Suddenly, we noticed that […]

LESSONS FROM ONE ROTTEN TOMATO

A dear father sent some people to the market to get him tomatoes. There was just one spoilt one among the pack. It began to leak its juice into the whole pack. By the time they realised, a lot of the tomatoes were contaminated and spoilt. The association you keep in life is key. Your association is never neutral. It […]

MY STRUGGLE WITH LUST AND THE CALL TO CONSECRATION

As a teenager, in the midst of my struggles for a pure walk, I would stay awake to watch the show called “Midnight Hot” on one of the channels of Cable TV. I only wanted to see the scantily clothed figures on screen. I stayed awake to watch! Fleshly desires kept me awake. I mean- I waited for that hour […]

“I DON’T KNOW, BUT JESUS KNOWS”

My Mum once shared a story: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet. She was in shock. She carried me to the bathroom and poured water on me. I jerked to life. She administered […]
