ASSUMPTION CAN DESTROY GREAT THINGS

Olive ran in to pick new briefs for herself. As I walked out of the library, she said, “Daddy is this how to wear it?” I did not get her at first and she then said, “Is this the front?” I checked it out and saw the ‘label’ part was placed in front. I told her, ‘The label goes to […]

YOUR MISTAKE IS NOT THE END

Danielle woke up in the middle of the night while I worked. After a while, she mentioned that she was hungry. There was a cup of beverage that Olive only took a sip out of some hours earlier. I offered that to her. As she drank, she wanted to move her leg and it all poured away. It pained me […]

“I AM NO LONGER A VIRGIN, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?”

Years ago, I still remember where we sat as I shared the gospel of Christ with her that evening. I admired her strength but I noticed her mood swings. I had a prompt to speak to her about Christ. I did but she had a question for me: She called me my nickname back in the days and added, “I […]

COUNSEL TO SOMEONE WHO JUST FINISHED “SERVICE YEAR”

Just after his service year, he walked up to me and told me about his plans. He gave his life to Christ just as service year was starting. He had his fair share of temptations that he got delivered. It was certain that the hand of God was upon his life and God brought him to Eruwa for a purpose. […]

WIN YOUR PASTOR’S CONFIDENCE

We were running late from a meeting with my Spiritual Father and it was the day of our midweek service. Right on the way, I began to think of the person on ground to give instructions to carry on. All the Ministerial Team was on the road. Just after we gave a call and passed on instructions, I said to […]

YOU DON’T NEED TO LIKE YOUR PASTOR

I was at a conference for ministers of the Gospel. One of the panellists was asked a question about how he had been able to sustain a life of discipline in Ministry. His answer has not left me. He said, “I have a Pastor”. You will not understand the weight of what was said until you think about the fact […]

DEFEND YOUR PASTOR

Throughout the meeting, as my Spiritual Father taught us and led us to pray, I could see that he was a bit tired. He had been on a national tour leading a prayer movement. It was a hectic season. Just before we wrapped up the meeting. I went to fetch my cheque book and wrote him a token. As I […]

DIGNIFY YOUR PASTOR

I attend a monthly ministers seminar with my Spiritual Father. I needed to leave earlier that day so I sent him a text very early in the morning apologising that I may exit while he was yet teaching because I had to receive a special guest for our meeting in the church that night. I ended up staying until the […]

GIVE YOUR PASTOR REST!

My teacher and mentor shared a story with me:His mentor just finished teaching a session in the state capital. The host pastor requested that he should drop off the Reverend at a car park. Rather than do that, he volunteered to drive him the whole three hours back to his base. He said some few minutes into the journey, he […]

DO NOT SUFFER A BLOW (Do not sit on the fence)

I was visiting a doctor friend at work when I saw a young lady with a fully swollen mouth. My friend said to me that she has a broken jaw. That was even worse. How did she get it? She got in between two people exchanging blows in a bar. First, there is no in-between in the things of the […]
