COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 4

When the ministry office opened, people would come into the office and request to see the lawyer. I had given up the practice of law but the seriousness with which we worked made them think that the ministry office was a law office. I would get to work very early. I did not dress shabbily. At different times, people would […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 3

Before I got into ministry and in the early days of ministry, I thought being a pastor was just about preaching good sermons and I saw myself as a gifted speaker and with my background as a lawyer, I felt it would just happen that people are magnetized by such eloquence and giftedness. For the first few years of ministry, […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) – 2

When I came into ministry, one of my dear ones was concerned about my welfare and she said to me, “Well! As a pastor, you will be getting invitations to preach and I am sure that with the honorarium, you will be able to keep things going”. She even began to help me calculate how much I can have on […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 1 

I asked my grandfather in the faith about 8 years ago, “Sir, if you are to start this great work afresh, what will be your priority?” He looked at me and asked, “Son, do you want to buy a car now?” I replied “No”. “Son, do you want to build a house now?” I replied in the negative. He then […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (VI) – WRONG MINDSETS

I was having a conversation with some of my dear ones and we began to share about things that have limited men in life. We began to share about how our culture and thinking make it hard to accept early accomplishments in life. If a beautiful young lady drives a good car, society believes she must be promiscuous and sleeping […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (V)- SICKNESS

There was a Scottish pastor who was one of the most powerful ministers to ever stand in the pulpits of Edinburgh and Dundee, but he died at the age of twenty-nine, partly because he was weakened by overwork, excessive busyness, and chronic fatigue. He reportedly said as he was dying, “The Lord gave me a horse to ride and a […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (IV) – LUST

In my secondary school days, lust ate up the fabric of my teenage soul. I was inquisitive to a fault. As an avid reader, I got lost in reading things that were quite sexually graphic. I slid eventually into pornography. It messed up my mind. It affected my creativity. It contaminated the flow of inspiration. It affected productivity. Lust is […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (III)- LAZINESS

There was a season in my life when I was battling laziness. I would wait for things to pile up before it gets done. I relied on my gifts without spending time to refine them and get better. As a teenager, my mum once called me a lazy pig. It was painful. Laziness was eating up the fabric of my […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (II)- ADULTERY

My pastor would always say to every one of us, “You do not know how much of a sinner you can be until you have money. It takes money to finance adultery”. Once you can fly a girlfriend from Nigeria to Dubai and you join her on a different flight, you need to be on the lookout for the devil. […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (1)- POOR LEADERSHIP

I once had a student whose mother came to complain about. She said, “I have not been around for a while. I travelled. It was on my return this morning that my husband mentioned that our son had not been sleeping at home. He only comes home to wear his uniform every morning. But he had not seen him in […]
