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 […]

USE THE NIGHT

A young man reached out to me some time ago and said to me, “You dropped a note for me some years back with the words, ‘Great men make use of the night.’ Sir, that brought a shift in my life.” He backed it up with a Thank You seed. See these verses: Ex. 14:20- “…throughout the NIGHT…”Ex. 14:21- “…all […]

PLATFORMS ARE TESTS

One of my dear ones had an invitation to teach in a church. When he returned, what I heard gladdened my heart as a pastor.

Just as we were wrapping up the communion service, I sensed a prompt in my heart that it was still possible to use our new facility for the 10th anniversary and convention of the Church. I asked the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong, and I understood.  But that evening, I requested that […]

IT IS NOT NORMAL: DO NOT TAKE RESISTANCE AS CIRCUMSTANCE

I pastor young people in a very unique setting. Let me explain- the average young person in the town is either a student, a corp member, an indigene looking for greener pastures or a worker seeking to be transferred to the city. Some folks would leave their families in cities while they work in our community. They often travel to […]

STOP DISRUPTING DIVINE PROCESS WITH HUMAN IMPATIENCE

When my second daughter was a little younger, she would at times wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most time is to carry her right after she […]
