RANDOM GIRLS, DATING APPS, AND THE STRUGGLING BROTHER

A beloved one came to visit me some years ago. He had just landed his second job. We were both super excited about the possibilities of his life. But I had a prompt to ask him about his tithes and he admitted he was not paying tithes as he used to. I encouraged him to always pay his tithe. (Tithing […]

IF YOU DON’T LAUGH AT IT, YOU WILL STAY DOWN

Some few months after my mum lost the ability to see physically, she was working in the ministry office (She had resigned from her job as a lecturer). She had the course to step out of her office. Upon returning, she wanted to sit. She forgot to exercise the usual caution of feeling for both arms of the chair to […]

MUMMY’S COUSIN AND THE DILUTED SOUP

My mum shared a funny story with us some years ago. They had gone on vacation with her grandmother. Grandma would always prepare very rich “egusi” soup for them. It was always thick and full of fish. Once it was time for lunch while grandma was away, they would dish their meal and savour the delicacy. But something strange began […]

DO NOT DRIFT FROM DESTINY RELATIONSHIPS

Some few years into ministry, I would regularly attend a monthly ministers’ mentoring session with my father in the faith. It was a commitment I made to him. But life happened, I got caught up in the routine and activities of ministry and I thought I had a legitimate excuse because the road trip was becoming more tedious. Our roads […]

TRANSPARENCY CAN SAVE YOU FROM A CRISIS

A dear son brought a young lady that he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she seems to lose interest in the young man after the visit. We were […]

“WHEN LAST DID YOU GIVE TO YOUR PARENTS?”

A dear one walked up to me after one service and said, “Pastor, I brought a seed for you”. I would have collected it with joy and said a blessing but I had a prompt to ask him (I am sure it was the Holy Spirit), “When last did you give to your parents?” He said it had been a […]

THOSE YOU DROP THE STANDARD FOR

We needed a keyboardist in the ministry. At that point, a young man came into town to serve the nation. He could play the keyboard but we had two standing principles: First, you cannot be an instrumentalist, no matter how skilled you are, if you have not been through our training school at a certain level in the ministry. Second, […]

THE POWER OF PARENTAL SACRIFICES

The Lord reminded me of something recently: There was a night when two strangers knocked on the door of our home. This was very late in the night. It was about 10 pm or after. They told my parents that they were ministers of the gospel who were stranded in town.  At the car park, they explained their ordeal and […]

BORROWED CONVICTION DOES NOT LAST 

I still remember the first time that Dad and Mum dropped me off as an undergraduate in Olabisi Onabanjo University (I had an eight months stint there). It was the first time I was going to be living on my own- the goodbyes was emotional.  Some months into my stay, I took ill. It was in the days when phones […]

WHEN MEN CROSS YOUR MIND

I was in the middle of my morning routine when the name of a dear friend and brother crossed my mind. Amazingly, we had spoken some days earlier. I picked up my phone and called him. We exchanged pleasantries. I said to him, “I pray strength for you today and this season sir”. That was how the conversation ended.  He […]
