She posted a picture of a scantily cladded friend and wrote a tag underneath it- “Fire Everywhere”. I had to pick up my pastoral rod of care and correction when I saw it. It was firm talk. As a believer, what is worse than appearing ungodly is approving what is ungodly. It has become a trend where Christians become promoters […]
A set of seniors in secondary school decided to punish my friends and I. Unfortunately for them, we ran into a teacher that liked us when we were coming back from their classroom. We narrated what happened and he sent for them. He told them that we knew things that they did not know and they should never lay hands […]
My little niece was 4 years old then. I was having a chat with her mum and elder sister when she stepped out of the bathroom. She had a towel around her little body.Once she stepped into the room and saw me (I had not even noticed her presence), she said with her four-year voice but with the confidence of […]
My Pastor during my national youth service days used to be a lecturer of Anatomy at the university. He mentioned that there was a day he was teaching a class and one of the students asked a question that he could not answer at the moment. He told the class, “I am sorry.

I made my considerable share of mistakes as a young minister. They were flowing out of genuine passion that lacked guidance and accountability. Financial issues were a touchy ground for me both as a husband and as a pastor. There was a time I would use our personal money or Irewamiri’s money to settle ministry bills. It was a form […]
During one of our training sessions, a young man stood up and said to me, “I hate my father and what he is doing but I am doing exactly the same today. I hated to see my father drunk but now I am drinking. I know that I will end up like him looking at the path I am already […]
Some years ago, after we finished a major event, we had one or two people who wanted to see us. A young man came in and told us that he was really blessed by the meeting. According to him, he was about to head to his own church that morning when the spirit took him and brought him to ours. […]
