DO NOT USE THE SPIRIT TO DRIVE YOUR OWN AGENDA

Some years ago, after we finished a major event, we had one or two people who wanted to see us. A young man came in and told us that he was really blessed by the meeting. According to him, he was about to head to his own church that morning when the spirit took him and brought him to ours. […]

WHEN YOU ARE SENT BUT YOU REFUSE TO DELIVER AS SENT!

There was a day I was catching a nap in my grandfather’s house when an elderly couple walked in. I woke up momentarily to attend to them. They said, “When Grandpa and Grandma comes, tell them that mummy has been discharged from the hospital”. I nodded and told them I would deliver the message.  Well! I forgot to deliver the […]

ABOUT ACCUSATIONS, ENSURE THAT YOU DO NO LESS THAN THIS

One evening, a young man reported a minister of the gospel to me. It was a grave accusation bordering on sexual infidelity. I requested to contact the person involved. Eventually, the minister reached out himself. His defence was outrageous but I gave him that chance of fair hearing.  The Apostle Paul wrote: “Do not receive an accusation against an elder […]

YOUR DEFENCE IS YOUR IDENTITY

I was with a dear brother. We were having a private conversation over dinner at a hotel restaurant. While eating, three ladies wearing sequins (shiny apparel) with apparent slits approached our table and said, “We are offering free wine tonight”.  The beloved one with me looked up and said, “We are pastors”. That ended the conversation. They left immediately. He […]

THE TASTY GOAT MEAT AND THE “NO” OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We had a plate of rice with some nicely peppered goat meat. I wanted some more goat meat so I told Irewamiri. I convinced her to give me one more especially since I would be away from home for a while. She raised her eyebrow but could not resist my persuasive skills.  As she left the dining table to pick […]

DO NOT GO BEYOND THE PERMISSION PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN YOU

I was having a conversation with a protege some years back and he shared a priceless lesson with me. He told me it was better to give counsel only to people with whom I have defined relationships. He mentioned that giving counsel to people who do not care is a waste of time. My Pastor told some set of protégés […]

“WHEN YOU CAN’T REJOICE WHEN OTHERS SUCCEED”

My mentor taught me a profound life lesson, “If your friend buys a car or a second one while you have none, do not wonder why he cannot give you one. Buy him fuel as a gift for his new car.” Why? It is a dangerous slope when you cannot rejoice at the success of others! This trick of the […]

THE BLESSING OF A FATHER IS A DOOR OPENER

As I was about to leave the office of my grandfather in the faith, he said to me, “Son, has anyone blessed you in foreign currencies before?” I replied in the negative. He then opened up his bag, enveloped some foreign currencies and handed it over to me backed up with these words, “From today, I command foreign currencies to […]

DEAR FATHER, LEAD LIKE A PRIEST!

I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad’s office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady. He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word.  Two days after my wife said “Yes” […]

“DADDY, YOU TAUGHT US…”

Danielle walked into my room with an activity book in her hands. She said, “Daddy, I am sorry. I accidentally tore my book while I was drawing on it”. I told her, “Girl, that’s fine. Be careful next time”.  The next thing she said was what shook me to my bones, “Daddy, you taught us that when we do not […]
