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 […]

IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO A PASTOR

We sat in the car that day and he said to me, “Pastor, today I want to apologise. For the past few years, I never saw or accepted you as my pastor. Today, I want to say I am sorry. I am accepting your role as my pastor”.  I understood perfectly. And it was not absolutely his fault. For the […]

IF YOU ARE IN LOVE, DO NOT HIDE IT! 

My parents were classmates in the tertiary institution. During an examination, my father took ill right in the hall. He had his work tools as a Fine Arts student but in his words, “I just kept looking at the paper before me. I had gone blank. The stress had taken its toll”.  He was almost collapsing when some of his […]

FLEE ALL “APPEARANCE” OF EVIL

While I was a student in one of the State Universities, I was not that rooted in the faith but the discipline of godly parenting helped me a whole lot.  I was studying one evening when one of the ladies who frequented our residence pulled away my notes from me and said, “Spencer, if you don’t visit me, you will […]

HARDER EFFORTS CAN’T REPLACE OBEDIENCE 

I was speaking with two ladies when the Lord dropped a Word in my heart for one of them. I did not know who in particular when I got the word. It was simple:  God said, “No matter how much you have invested in the wrong relationship, turn back now”.  One of them confided later that she knew she was […]

When he came, he mentioned that he wanted to propose to a particular sister in the church. He was not a member but he comes for our midweek services. He began to speak about […]
