BE A BLESSING AND NOT A BURDEN TO YOUR PASTOR

There was a season in ministry that I would wake up in the middle of the night praying about the church. A whole lot that I could not place my finger on what was going on. As I prayed, I would pause, sigh, and sometimes groan. It was like a divided house. There was gossip also flying here and there. […]

JUMPING TREES

A young man came to me once after one of our services. He said that he felt led to be a member of the church. He said, “It was the Spirit that led me to come here this morning. As a matter of fact, I left my church to come”. I thanked God for his life but then asked him, […]

EQUIPPING BEFORE APPEARANCE

I needed help with clearing the weeds in the compound. For weeks, I tried reaching out to a young man who helps me regularly. When I eventually saw him, he explained to me that the reason he had not come was that he had no tools. His cutlass got spoilt on his last job. He promised to show up once […]

PRIDE WILL REDUCE YOU

A dear elderly one in the ministry was confronted and asked why she would be attending a church founded and pastored by someone that is far younger than her. I am always impressed by her humility to learn and to grow. It is amazing that no one gets to the hospital and reject the services rendered by a young doctor. […]

THE BURNING COAL

Dad spent his toddler days in the village before his uncle took him to the city. Back in the days, whenever they go to the farm and they needed fire to cook. They would lift up their eyes to check for where smoke signs can be found. Someone runs to fetch fire from the source of the smoke signal. The […]

THE DAY MY BROTHER REBELLED

When Dad called my brother for service that evening, I am so sure he did not expect what my brother said. My brother said, “Must it be church all the time?” My dad (the pastor of the church) did not utter a single word. He simply turned around and went to church. Honestly, every man must be able to stand […]

THE TREES OF MY SCHOOL

Back in our days in the University (Obafemi Awolowo University), you could get to walk from the hostel to your classrooms under the shade of trees that protect you from sunlight most of the way. Well! One thing you must beware of were the numerous bats and their tendency to release some discharge on you before you get to your […]

THE INVASION

We got concerned about the insects in the compound. It was difficult to stay some few minutes outside and not get beaten. We got a very strong insecticide. One day, while we were away, someone sprayed the entire compound for us. But guess what happened, the following night, our house was invaded by flying insects. The young ladies at home […]

NO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY

  I woke up that Sunday Morning some years back. I was dressed up for church. Suddenly, I had this grip on my heart. I began to shed tears. My wife was confused. I simply told her that, “She should go to church”. I honestly felt overwhelmed. I could not explain to her what was wrong. Then I began to […]
