THE VITAL ROLE OF MENTORING AND DISCIPLESHIP IN LIFE’S JOURNEY

We were walking towards the sports complex, and my friend and sister said, “Temi, we normally attend a mentoring vigil with Pastor.” I wondered what mentoring vigil was and why I needed it. I told her, “The most important thing is that you study the Word of God and know God for yourself”  Deep within, I was wondering why I […]

THE UNSEEN IMPACT OF FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP

On the day he responded to the call to give His life to Christ, he was the only one who came to the altar. A fellowship had invested so much to assemble a meeting, but only one soul responded.  I imagine them telling themselves they could have done better in an appraisal meeting. Maybe they even expected more! But it […]

YOU CANNOT DO LIFE ALONE!

I was surprised when I saw that Olive was carried instead of her walking. Looking closely, she had slept off in class. When we got home, she was still sleepy. She attempted to walk but did not find her steps. The most interesting of things then happened: Danielle turned her back towards her and asked her sister to climb on […]

THE VALUE OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

My daughter did not get to call me “Daddy” at first. There were times it sounded as though she was even calling me “Temi”. I would say call me daddy but nothing happened. We had cause to visit our friends in Lagos. She heard them call “Daddy”. That was all the change we needed. Everything we were struggling to make […]

HOW TO BUILD A HABIT OF PRAYER

While growing up, we had a neighbour who loved dogs. Their dogs became the neighbourhood dogs- it was everyone’s pet. We had Jack, and we had Jill.  Jack had an amazing pattern. A few minutes to 4 pm every weekday, Jack would come to our door and wait- that was the hour my mum would leave for the church to […]

HOW TO TRIUMPH OVER SIN

I was visiting with a young lady I just met. We both had a mutual friend. Of the neighbourhood’s scarcity of friends, finding someone to interact with was a solace.  One such evening, she received a call from whom I later got to know as her boyfriend. It was an uncomfortable call. She burst into tears right afterward.  By impulse, […]

YOU HAVE VICTORY OVER SIN!

Some years ago, I was witnessing to a colleague inside a restaurant. After I shared the gospel with him and asked if he would surrender his life to Christ, he threw a subtle punch at me, “Pastor, have you kissed before?” I said, “Yes, but I would not do it again till I am married.”  Beloved, every Saint has a […]

ARE YOU A BELIEVER OR A KNOWLEDGEABLE SINNER?

I was born into a Christian Family. My mum was the evangelism coordinator of the church we attended. Dad served in the church also. Mum had a 4 p.m. hour of prayer at the Upper Room almost daily. I witnessed impartation and deliverance. She jokingly said once that someone informed her to stop conducting deliverance during my pregnancy so that […]

DO NOT JOKE WITH WORDS!

We enjoyed riding bicycles as children. Our neighbours had two different sizes. We would all converge and have some fun cycling. One evening, it had just finished raining, and we were cycling on the long corridor of their home. It was fun circling the pillars and showcasing skill. When it was the turn of a dear brother, he had bread […]

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MARRIAGE FROM THE INVASION OF INFIDELITY

As we discussed a matter, Irewamiri said, “Darling, such matters do not spring up suddenly. They must have been fornicating as singles”. She was right!  Most marriages that struggle with infidelity struggled earlier with self-control in courtship. You should be physically attracted to one another and with a desire to sleep with one another- that is part of God’s plan […]
