THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN SILENCE CARRIES WEIGHT

Some weeks after writing my Senior School Certificate Examination (there was quite some free time that allowed my teenage mind to experiment), I was riding a motorcycle on our street. It belonged to a friend who came to visit. While taking some laps on the street, I had a fall. That very moment, our doctor was passing by. He looked […]

OUR WHATSAPP APP

We were simply looking into each other’s eyes and talking. An evening time out was enjoyable. Then she remembered that the Whatsapp App on her phone was not working. I picked up the phone and began to work on it. After succeeding, I handed the phone over to her and she said “Thank you”. She began to check the phone and […]

PRIDE WILL COST YOU A LOT

I wrote my first external examination as an SS 2 student. This was in the year 2000. I was fortunate to be in the same examination centre with some of my childhood friends and neighbours. On the day of our first paper, there was an elderly man (at least he looked way older than us) who was sitting close to […]

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IS NOT ABOUT AGE BUT UNDERSTANDING

Many years back, I was visiting my uncle and aunt in the city of Lagos. They have amazing children. The youngest daughter was about four years old at the time. One evening, my aunt, her elder sister, and I were having some informal conversation in the girl’s room. My little niece stepped out of the restroom with a towel around […]

DO NOT THROW STONES AT A WOUNDED AND FALLEN SOLDIER

I still remember where I was standing when my phone rang years ago. I was shocked at first when he said, “I have disappointed everyone. I got a girl pregnant”. I allowed the information to sink and then I said to him, ” It could have been me. I do not condemn you”. Today, he is standing strong on his […]

NO MATTER HOW ANOINTED YOU FEEL, NEVER CROSS THE LINES

When I started getting to know the Lord passionately, my dad who was also my pastor as a young man, gave me the chance to share the Word of God. He gave me the privilege of using the worker’s meeting time. I was full of passion but ignorant. I began to share and “the Holy Ghost took over”, ministrations took […]

HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH UNKNOWN SEASONS

It was a journey late in the evening. A few kilometres into the journey, it was already dark. The driver was unfamiliar with the route. Yet, there were some bad portions and potholes on the way. Navigation became a bit difficult. Fortunately, he had someone by his side who knew the way. Periodically, the driver would be told, “Slow down, […]

YOU CAN’T GO FAR WHILE TAKING OFFENCE

It was a major annual convention for my Grandfather in the Faith. As I stepped out of the auditorium, he was walking with some of the guest ministers towards the office section. He saw me walking along the car park and said, “Son, make sure you see me before you go”. When I approached the secretariat, it was a bit […]

YOUR BEST VERSION EMERGES IN GOD’S WILL

About eight weeks after I stepped into Eruwa to honour the call of God into full-time ministry, a dear one was praying on his birthday and the Lord prompted him to come and see me. He was surprised that I was in town. Eventually, when we got to see, I shared with him what the Lord has called me to […]

IT WILL BE HARD TO LOVE OR SUBMIT WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

Irewamiri was teaching one day and shared a story that brought back memories: there was a night that I did not know what was wrong. She went cold for hours. I kept asking what the matter was. At the height of it, she laid on the bed while I knelt by her side asking questions about what the issue was. […]
