REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL (5)

When we drove out of that city, my wife said to me, “Thank God for Fathers. This is a place to visit regularly. I feel so refreshed” If anyone had said we would be that refreshed in 24 hours, it would have been difficult to believe; we just barely made it through a rough evening! Friends, there must be people […]

REVIVE YOUR TROULED SOUL(4)

She did not tell me this until after she said “Yes” to my proposal: She was always losing her peace whenever she said to herself that she does not want to marry me. I understand it all. Who wants to marry a man who has mouth but no money? Who wants to marry a man who cannot answer questions like, […]

REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL – (3)

I woke up from sleep that night and all I knew was that two of my roommates were running from room to room chasing themselves and laughing. They were already drunk. They would stand in the middle of the room and laugh. Then they will run again. It was a sight to behold. They even said to themselves, “Do you […]

During courtship, my wife and I were having a disagreement, and I was scheduled to preach in two different meetings that were kilometres apart that day.

LET NOTHING STEAL YOUR JOY

I left home that morning in very high spirit. I walked to the ministry office praying and singing. I was singing with joy. It rained the previous evening. It was a really cool morning.  When I got to the office and I opened the door, the song in my mouth vanished. The entire office was flooded. I was momentarily down. […]

YOU ARE NOT DOING GOD A FAVOUR

I was speaking with a dear son when he made a very profound statement. He said, “Sir, the Lord told me that whenever He asks me to sow a seed, it is because I am the one in need”. It was too profound for me.  There are times we posture as if we are doing God a favour. If God […]

IF YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT

While I prayed at midnight, I heard the door of the library opening and there walked in Danielle. She had been attempting her assignment late the previous evening but it was obvious she was already very tired. I asked her to get some sleep.  My surprise is she woke up at about 2 am and picked up her assignment. She […]

LEGIT EXCUSES AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 

I was already in the city of Ibadan before I sent Papa (my grandfather in the faith) a message that I wanted to drop a gift as sent by my Dad in his office. He replied and said, “Bring it tomorrow please. I am out of town”. Now, it would have been easy to say to him that “Sir, I […]
