FATHERS DO NOT ABANDON THEIR CHILDREN

We got back home after a brief drive into town to pick up some things. When we returned, Olive insisted she was not going inside the house. I walked in and closed the door, thinking she would then be prompted to come in. She stayed outside. I could not keep my eyes away. I started looking at her through the […]

WHAT HELP DID YOU REFUSE?

Olive picked up a top and tried wearing it. I approached her to help her and she began to say, “I can do it by myself.” I left her to it. After a moment of struggling, she began to cry and throw tantrums. She was struggling with it but could not get to wear it. She got frustrated and threw […]

“PROTECT THE SEED”

We started a vegetable garden in our compound. Irewamiri did something- she decided to cage all the roaming hens in the compound before planting the seeds. She said, “If I allow them to roam, they will eat up the seeds. They will be in the cage until the seeds grow.” You have an assignment to protect the seed especially when […]

THE FUTURE IS CODED IN YOUR OBEDIENCE 

In September 2006, while praying in the sports complex at Obafemi Awolowo University, the Lord reminded me of an earlier instruction he gave in March. It was to gather young people under the same atmosphere of word and worship led by young people like them. I began to make moves to obey.  As we stepped into Eruwa the night of […]

WORSHIP IS MORE THAN A CULTURAL THING 

I was in a conference in the South-South, and as the worship session was ongoing, I had a prompt to lay before the Lord. The church floor was still concrete and dusty, but I obeyed the Lord.  After the session, a man approached me and said, “I love your attitude during worship.” I acknowledge his compliments. He saw my name […]

THIS IS NOT A DEAD END!

When they fired the guns and halted our moves, we knew we were stuck with them, and all we could do was pray. They began to ask occupants of the bus to get down and lie face down. Just in a moment, we saw a vehicle with police escorts attacking our attackers. That was how we escaped. We did not […]

IF YOUR DAD OR MUM HURTS YOU

The first thing she said to me blew the wind out of my sail. She had lost her mum and had been raised by different hands. She said to me, “Pastor, I wish it was my father that died.” Beloved, we cannot deny the fact that there are children today who have been grievously hurt by their parents. Some saw […]

DO NOT BE UNAWARE!

A dear friend and brother asked me about a very challenging issue. I gave him a response, “Sir, I know why I must never get offended on this matter, sir. I am fighting for a generation, and I must always be aware of that.” A young man wanted to quit a program where he was learning because of how he […]

THE BLESSING OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE

I was having an in-between session chat with some other ministers during a conference when one of my friends said, “All I wish I can take from you are your men. Give me those men of yours.” We had a good laugh, but it was a way of complimenting the amazing commitment of men working in the ministry.  Beloved, one […]

“YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT YET”

Danielle was playing some educational games on her mum’s tablet. Olive was observing and dancing to the music coming from the games. Some minutes later, she began to reach out and grab the tablet from her sister. While she struggled to get it from her sister, I called out to her and said to her, “Olive, you cannot handle it […]
