HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE GROWING (VII)

When I got her text message recounting some of the moments she had been through in her life’s journey, I rolled over from the bed to the floor and burst into tears. Rather than feel disgusted, the love in my heart skyrocketed to an amazingly great level. Love is not pity. Love is proof that you have encountered the resurrection […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (VI)

In 2013, I was on the bus returning from Uyo to Ibadan. A corp member sat by my side. We began to talk. Then she began to talk about an organisation called TOUCH. She said glowing things about the person who started it as she was told. I asked for the name of the person who started it. She said, […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (V)

As the doctor treated the bullet wound on my back, he said to me “You will feel a small bite on your back soon. Endure the pain. We will be close to finishing the stitching”. I felt the small bite but let out a deep groan. It was painful but I knew it will soon be over. One of the […]

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL?

I woke up at night and realised that water had stopped running. The normal thing to do was to get to pump water but there were two challenges: First, there was no power supply. Second, there was no fuel in the generator. We ran out of fuel the previous evening. Night seasons come in life’s journey and you must be […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (IV)

I kept telling Danielle not to scatter the pack. Well! She did a clinical finishing of dismantling the pack and all the contents. Just when she was done, I asked her to begin to arrange all that she scattered. She looked at me soberly. She did not know what to do. Friends, it takes more effort to build than it […]

HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE GROWING (III)

My younger cousins wanted their mum to give them a new baby. They told their Dad what they wanted. Their Dad told them that he has to feed their Mum with enough “Eba” (that is thick Garri). My cousins began to give their father their “Eba” every time they eat and beg him to feed their mum well. Innocence is […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (II)

An “evangelist” was telling me passionately about how his mentor had helped a lot of prostitutes. He claimed his mentor would drive to a red-light district to pick up one or two prostitutes. He would “romance” them in the car. Afterwards, he drives them home where his wife is waiting for them to preach the gospel to them. I was […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (I)

My wife called out to my daughter, “Moyantoluwa”. She kept saying, “I am coming’ but she did not leave what she was doing in the living room. Minutes after, she comes strolling in to the room. Her mum said to her, “Moyantoluwa, when mum calls you, is it good to delay?” (Well! My daughter said ‘Yes’ and Mum said the […]

BE PATIENT. JUST OBEY. YOU WILL SOON UNDERSTAND

We had checked on the house about three weeks earlier and I told my wife that we were not going to rent that particular place and I had my reason. She did not argue with me. As I drove into our former residence, the Holy Spirit impressed in my heart that the house I rejected was actually the house to […]

DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP

As we left the meeting, a dear protégé of mine said to me, “Sir, it takes pastoral grace to do what you did and still minister the truth to those young ones”. I was to teach a large crowd of teenagers, but they were distracted and noisy. I said to him, “Sir, when I saw how distracted and noisy they […]
