He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as a role model. He wanted to look like him no […]

LEGIT EXCUSES AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 

I was already in the city of Ibadan before I sent Papa (my grandfather in the faith) a message that I wanted to drop a gift as sent by my Dad in his office. He replied and said, “Bring it tomorrow please. I am out of town”. Now, it would have been easy to say to him that “Sir, I […]

We were travelling through the city of Abeokuta. I had a dear mentor of mine with me and he reminded me of one of the memories I can not forget about the city:  I was an active participant in a quiz programme that airs every Sunday on the State Broadcasting Network.

HOW NOT TO KILL YOURSELF

I followed my pastor to a church for a Stewards’ Vigil at another church some years ago. My Pastor preached like fire. Till now some of the statements he made still ring out loud in my head: “God is not in the business of maintenance. He keeps making things better. If you cannot make it better. Quit”. He was challenging […]

The Lord led my wife and I to give a particular gift to someone. Some days after he came to me and said, “Pastor, about two years ago, you were preaching and you said, ‘For instance, I am giving (I mentioned his name) a (I mentioned the gift)”.

WHEN THE REQUEST OF GOD IS HARD…

Just because we knew that the union between a full-time pastor (who was earning nothing) and a young lady who just finished her service year required foresight, we began to save as much as we could very early in courtship towards our wedding.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS NOTHING

I needed to use an earpiece. I would normally just use a wireless one for comfort. But I decided to pick up one of the old wired ones. I had not used it in a very long time. When I picked it up, the cables were already tangled. It took a long time to untangle it. It was a burden. […]
