3 THINGS THAT MAKE MEN BOW

The only money I had in the office that day was the church offering. It was the first few weeks after church started. I needed to help a friend make a call and I had no airtime. It was hard not to “borrow” from the money. It was also hard not to rationalize and take a little for airtime. My […]

“I AM SORRY, THAT DAY CAN’T WORK”

We all sat at the table and I told Irewamiri that I would still need to step out that Sunday evening. She looked at me and said, “I don’t know about that dear. Sunday evenings are for us as a family”.  I called the person I had an appointment with and requested that we talk on the phone briefly. Many […]

THE BLESSING OF ALL

After our trainers gave us the instruction that we should look for land, we commenced a search. While searching, we went to ask for a piece of land that we saw. The owner said, “Pastor, that’s too small for what you intend. We have another one somewhere close by. Check it out and let me know if you would want […]

“DON’T BRING THAT SICKNESS IN HERE”

As kids, anytime we got sick in school and our parents were beckoned on. As soon as we get home, Mum would say to the sick- “Temi, you know sickness is not permitted in this house. So, before you come inside, rebuke that sickness”. You need to see me saying, “In Jesus’ name, I am not sick”. She would definitely […]

After a while, they both noticed that when they visit this minister, they always return discouraged. They never discussed it. One day, as they […]

“I WON’T LIE TO YOU” 

We were about to drive out for just some minutes when Olive ran to her mum saying, “I want to go with you”. She was not appropriately dressed. Her mum told her to go dress up. She ran inside with such speed to pick a dress and a pair of shoes.  While she dressed up, she heard the sound of […]

“WHAT DO YOU WANT- GOLD OR SILVER?”

I had spent a while waiting on the Lord. It was the predetermined day to break the fast. Coincidentally, we had some great meals ordered for the evening already. It was going to be a “wash it down with joy” kind of evening.  Just at that moment, I sensed a nudging to wait for another day. The question that the […]

“PASTOR TEMI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THIS DAY?”

My trainer called me a couple of years back and asked me, “Pastor Temi, what are you doing on so and so day?” I was wise enough not to reel out my schedule. I simply asked, “Sir, what do you want me to do for you on that day sir”. He eventually sent me to a meeting that treated me […]

THERE ARE STILL GENUINE PROPHETS

When she finished leading worship in our convention years ago, the guest minister was about to preach. He paused and called her. He asked about her husband. Fortunately, he was in the meeting. He said to them, “I do not know you but thus says the Lord, ‘In nine months, you will have your baby’. They had been married for […]
