Dad played a lot with us while growing up. One of our regular games was ‘playful’ boxing. We still do some of these things. Dad would lift his hand as though he was aiming for your side. While you try to protect your side, his hands are already landing somewhere on your head. We kept defending the wrong spot. That […]
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 […]
He looked at me that night after we exchanged pleasantries and said, “What do you do?” “I pastor sir” I responded. The next question was, “What is the name of the church?” I replied him. “Did you start the church?” He queried. “Yes, I did” I responded. The next statement was not one I was prepared for. He said, “So […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Just after Mum lost her sight, she embarked on a fast, the word she got that season remains a strong point of light for her till date: “Count it all joy when you fall into different trials. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2,3) And then the Lord said to her, “Oluwafunmike, life will still get […]
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. Since I did not succeed in placating her, my heart was heavy. I began to wonder how I would carry through the day. Well! I resorted to praying in the Spirit as I drove. […]
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. […]
