WAS IT A “TESTIMONY” OR YOUR TEST?

A younger minister once sat with an older minister at a conference. After exchanging pleasantries, the younger minister started sharing “testimonies” of God’s goodness to him and his ministry. The older minister did not say a word except to appreciate the grace of God upon the life of the younger minister. Even though, he perceived that some of the testimonies […]

THE PATIENT WITH THE GANGRENOUS FOOT

A doctor had to explain to a patient that a gangrenous foot had to be amputated.  He told the patient what Jesus said “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be […]

ACCIDENTS WHILE WATCHING ACCIDENTS

I was returning home on a commercial motorcycle. We spotted a truck that had derailed on the main road. While I said, “Oh what happened there?”, The rider turned his head and kept looking at the scene. What he did not know was that we were already derailing from our part of the road and were almost running into a […]

LESSONS FROM AN ACCIDENT

I cannot remember the gathering but I knew that some of the ministers in the church were asked to say a word about their pastor. A beloved one brought back memories when she shared about how I reacted after an accident.  After one of our services, they went on a routine trip of dropping folks in a neighbouring town. On […]

HOLD ON TO YOUR TESTIMONIES

In my days as a teenager, we had a woman in the church. She was quite elderly. Every time there was a call for those who would testify, she would always be in front. She could not express herself in English but would always begin every testimony with, “I give thanks to the living God who is not a dead […]

DRAG SORROW OUT OF THE EQUATION

After quite some years of battling eye challenges, we returned home from a family event one evening to some sad news. Just like the blackness in the sky, all seemed to shut down when Mum told Dad she could not see any of us. It was not a fun day. But the next thing my mum did is quite instructive. […]

SENSITIVITY AND OBEDIENCE CAN PREVENT LOSSES

About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office. I took the cash and […]

HARD TIMES CAN BECOME SPRINGBOARDS

In our secondary school days, we used a Mathematics textbook called the New General Mathematics. It was full of exercises. The unique thing was it had answers on the last pages of the book. The reason for the answers was to confirm if the solution was right or wrong after the student must have practised.  But we had a different […]

EXCITEMENT WITHOUT SENSITIVITY IS DANGEROUS

I was on the wheels about ten years ago returning to Eruwa to catch up with a meeting. I must admit that I was moving faster than usual.  As I was climbing uphill with some speed, I picked a prompt of the Spirit of the Lord. I heard that still small voice saying, “Son, slow down”. I felt it was […]

“WHEN I WAS “TOASTING” YOU, WAS IT STRESSFUL?”

Some time ago, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human […]
