MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (6)

That morning in his office, I told him: “Sir, I simply want to ask that I learn from you. Baba is a General. You are a Major General. There are things Baba will say that will take me years to understand. Can I constantly seek explanations from you too sir?” That question redefined a lot of things for me in […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (5)

For the first 3 years of my pastoring work, I simply thought I could get the work done by being prayerful, studious, and preaching skillfully. Honestly, I tried my best. I preached some great sermons but I missed it at the very core- I thought I could figure it out myself. A major mistake that many young people make is […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (4)

He looked at me that night and said, “I have done everything I can but the ministry is not growing”. I asked him, “Describe how you feel in one word. And please don’t try to sound like a pastor”. His answer was simple, “Frustrated”. I could pick it. I could see it. He has put in so much money- a […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (3)

It was a high-brow hotel on the Island somewhere in Lagos State. I had stopped over to say hello to a dear mentor who was in town. After our discussion, I dipped my hands into my pocket and slipped a cash gift into his hands- it was my way of saying thank you. He does not need my money. He […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (2)

My late grandparents have something very unique that I can never take for granted- relationships. They have such solid bonds with people from different seasons of their lives. Whenever I sit with corp members exiting Eruwa, I sound it loud and clear- do not joke with relationships. Keep in touch with us and with your batch! One mistake we make […]

MISTAKES THE YOUNG MAKE (1)

When I noticed that my heart was drawn towards the young lady in my church and I perceived she would be my wife, I went to my spiritual father to inform him. His counsel remains timeless and I can never forget: “First, be sure you heard God. Second, Do not marry a woman who does not believe in God’s vision […]

“DON’T YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WEAKNESS TOO”?

I was greatly troubled when I invited the brother for a heart-to-heart discussion on an issue that I know was simply ungodly- it had no two words to describe it. When I laid down what I believe would be a friendly godly warning on the matter, the response I got shook me to my bones. He looked at me and […]

BEDWETTING TALES

I had some very interesting bed-wetting tales as a young boy. What shall we say to the dreams that tell me I am already in the restroom or that I had run off the football pitch to a bush so I can now ease myself? I only wake up to realise that the restroom was still my bed. Did it happen […]

“I JUST WANT THESE EXAMS TO BE OVER”

It was 6.30 am. I walked into the girls’ room to wake them up for the day. After about three attempts of calling Danielle, I said to her, “Hey, Girl. It is time to get up. You don’t want to be late for school”. Her response was a perfect way to start the day, she turned around and with a […]

HE TOOK HER SPIT

My sister and friend was heavily pregnant. They had gotten into the car about to drive out when she felt like expunging some phlegm. In her state, she felt too tired to stand. She could not get back into the house. The husband made the most interesting move ever- he asked the wife to spit into his mouth. The wife […]
