MY NAME IS “DORCAS” 

We named our second daughter, Ayoigbala (The Joy of Salvation). My parents named her “Ibukunoluwa” (The Blessing of the Lord). We nicknamed her Olive. Our dear grandfather in the faith named her “Dorcas.”  For a long time, many people would call her by either the first two names or her pet name. Suddenly, we noticed that my daughter began to […]

UNDERSTANDING SACRIFICES UNVEILS THE BEAUTY OF SERVICE

We had a daily training running. Part of the school’s schedule was a midnight watch of about forty-five minutes. I had led for about eight weeks daily except for weekends. Afterward, I began to assign the role to other ministers.  I remember asking one of them after his first time leading. He said, “It was difficult to sleep till that […]

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. […]

BE CAREFUL SO YOUR FREE TIME WON’T BE YOUR FREE FALL

During my National Youth Service, I was posted to a Local Government Secretariat. When I went to officially report at what we normally called my Place of Primary Assignment, I met with one or two of the officials.  The Director of Personnel Management was a very warm woman. She said to me, “The Law, we would accept you here, but […]

“SEE! WE ARE ALL ANOINTED”

Some years back, I got information that one of the corp members in the church was admitted to the hospital. We left all we were doing to check up on the lady. As we were approaching the door of the room where she was, someone said in excitement, “Thank God Pastor is here.” At that very moment, another corp member […]

BEFORE MORE… SAY THANK YOU FIRST!

Danielle had been with her Mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves), and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts […]

“DADDY, DID YOU HISS?”

Some time ago, I was narrating something that happened in a video skit to Irewamiri, and I hissed in between my talk. Olive was somewhere near, and she said, “Daddy, did you hiss?” I had to apologize to her for hissing.  Why did she ask? For a while, my beloved almost-three-year-old (as of then) would express displeasure by hissing. We […]

IT WAS EASIER PRAYED THAN DONE

As the major project we had went on, I would always pray to God to bless the work, and yes, He did. Then it struck me that I can also be a blessing to the work. So I told God, “God bless me that I may bless the work.”  God began to bless me indeed. But It was easier prayed […]

TRANSPARENCY CAN SAVE YOU FROM A CRISIS

A dear son brought a young lady that he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she lost interest in the young man after the visit. We were wondering what […]

DIGNIFY YOUR PASTOR

I attend a monthly ministers seminar with my Grandfather in the faith. I needed to leave earlier that day, so I sent him a text very early in the morning, apologizing that I may exit while he was yet teaching because I had to receive a special guest for our meeting in the church that night. I ended up staying […]
