THE RIGHTEOUS MUST NOT GIVE EXCUSES FOR THEIR FLESH

As a teenager and the son of a Pastor, every Sunday evening was dedicated to evangelism. We would normally go from house to house. We went to different parts of town. One evening, the only adult with us was not heading back to church because her house was close by. I and another teenager had to return to church. As […]

THE RIGHTEOUS MUST BE BOLD ABOUT THEIR VALUES

Two of my dear Protégés had their pre-wedding photoshoot. It was quite a lovely one but something rose in me when and where I saw them having a very intimate and seductive dance during the shoot. I called them up and said, “What kind of dance is that?” They both said, “And our hearts did not agree with it. We […]

INDECENCY AND DISCIPLESHIP CANNOT MIX

As she walked towards me to greet me, I gave a faint smile. When she drew near, I gave her a loving father’s knock. She drew back and obviously knew what she did. We have had repeated conversations on the importance of the decency of dressing- your breasts are not for public consumption. Decency is not a strange thing to […]

WORSHIP BEYOND SONGS…

After service, my daughters were playing at the altar and I watched them grab microphones and sing. Danielle grabbed a microphone and sat behind one of the feedback speakers. She bowed her face to the ground while attempting to hide. I asked her, “Why are you hiding?” She said to me, “I do not want anyone to see me”. At […]

WHO (WHAT) DO YOU KNOW?

A set of seniors in secondary school decided to punish my friends and I. Unfortunately for them, we ran into a teacher that liked us when we were coming back from their classroom. We narrated what happened and he sent for them. He told them that we knew things that they did not know and they should never lay hands […]

THEY HAD NO IDEA

My father gave me the chance to preach at the Saturday Night dedicated to Youths at the Church Convention many years ago. I shared about my teenage struggles with lust, porn and all others. The fact that I was born in a Godfearing home did not make me suddenly Godfearing.Then I turned and asked my parents, “Did you know I […]

“WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO MARRY YOUR BROTHER?”

As that priceless soul sat in front of me that day, I heard those words: “Sir, I feel nothing. I have done a lot of things wrong in my life”.From getting sexually involved with close relatives to having an abortion. She had been through all. I began to talk to her about God’s love emphasizing that in Christ, her past […]

“SON, PRAY FOR YOUR FUTURE WIFE”

I was alone in the church office. I had made up my mind to throw all I can into the work of the ministry. After the break-up, my energy for ministry work tripled. Some few months into this episode, God broke the ice one morning. He said, “Son, spend some time praying for your future wife”. I argued and kicked […]

“MUMMY, I AM AWAKE”

As a small boy, I had a standard ritual for waking up (don’t laugh at me): I would call out each morning, “Mummy, I am awake”. Mummy comes to sit on my bed. I climb on her back. She turns around and I glide off her back. That’s how the day starts (don’t feel jealous if you did not have […]

MUMMY TAUGHT ME THIS

In the middle of the night, the door of my room opened. In the darkness, I could pick the figures of my dad and mum as they strolled to my bedside. Daddy tapped me gently. I was already awake. “Your mum has something to tell you”. With that sweet mother’s voice, she said, “My son, I am sorry”. Earlier in […]
