ABOUT ACCUSATIONS, ENSURE THAT YOU DO NO LESS THAN THIS

One evening, a young man reported a minister of the gospel to me. It was a grave accusation bordering on sexual infidelity. I requested to contact the person involved. Eventually, the minister reached out himself. His defence was outrageous but I gave him that chance of fair hearing.  The Apostle Paul wrote: “Do not receive an accusation against an elder […]

YOUR DEFENCE IS YOUR IDENTITY

I was with a dear brother. We were having a private conversation over dinner at a hotel restaurant. While eating, three ladies wearing sequins (shiny apparel) with apparent slits approached our table and said, “We are offering free wine tonight”.  The beloved one with me looked up and said, “We are pastors”. That ended the conversation. They left immediately. He […]

THE TASTY GOAT MEAT AND THE “NO” OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We had a plate of rice with some nicely peppered goat meat. I wanted some more goat meat so I told Irewamiri. I convinced her to give me one more especially since I would be away from home for a while. She raised her eyebrow but could not resist my persuasive skills.  As she left the dining table to pick […]

DO NOT GO BEYOND THE PERMISSION PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN YOU

I was having a conversation with a protege some years back and he shared a priceless lesson with me. He told me it was better to give counsel only to people with whom I have defined relationships. He mentioned that giving counsel to people who do not care is a waste of time. My Pastor told some set of protégés […]

“WHEN YOU CAN’T REJOICE WHEN OTHERS SUCCEED”

My mentor taught me a profound life lesson, “If your friend buys a car or a second one while you have none, do not wonder why he cannot give you one. Buy him fuel as a gift for his new car.” Why? It is a dangerous slope when you cannot rejoice at the success of others! This trick of the […]

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” […]
