The Lord reminded me of something recently: There was a night when two strangers knocked on the door of our home. This was very late in the night. It was about 10 pm or after. They told my parents that they were ministers of the gospel who were stranded in town. At the car park, they explained their ordeal and […]
I still remember the first time that Dad and Mum dropped me off as an undergraduate in Olabisi Onabanjo University (I had an eight months stint there). It was the first time I was going to be living on my own- the goodbyes was emotional. Some months into my stay, I took ill. It was in the days when phones […]
I was in the middle of my morning routine when the name of a dear friend and brother crossed my mind. Amazingly, we had spoken some days earlier. I picked up my phone and called him. We exchanged pleasantries. I said to him, “I pray strength for you today and this season sir”. That was how the conversation ended. He […]
A younger minister once sat with an older minister at a conference. After exchanging pleasantries, the younger minister started sharing “testimonies” of God’s goodness to him and his ministry. The older minister did not say a word except to appreciate the grace of God upon the life of the younger minister. Even though, he perceived that some of the testimonies […]
A doctor had to explain to a patient that a gangrenous foot had to be amputated. He told the patient what Jesus said “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be […]
I was returning home on a commercial motorcycle. We spotted a truck that had derailed on the main road. While I said, “Oh what happened there?”, The rider turned his head and kept looking at the scene. What he did not know was that we were already derailing from our part of the road and were almost running into a […]
I cannot remember the gathering but I knew that some of the ministers in the church were asked to say a word about their pastor. A beloved one brought back memories when she shared about how I reacted after an accident. After one of our services, they went on a routine trip of dropping folks in a neighbouring town. On […]
In my days as a teenager, we had a woman in the church. She was quite elderly. Every time there was a call for those who would testify, she would always be in front. She could not express herself in English but would always begin every testimony with, “I give thanks to the living God who is not a dead […]
After quite some years of battling eye challenges, we returned home from a family event one evening to some sad news. Just like the blackness in the sky, all seemed to shut down when Mum told Dad she could not see any of us. It was not a fun day. But the next thing my mum did is quite instructive. […]
About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office. I took the cash and […]
