THE “JOSEPHS” WILL COME

I started writing devotionals accidentally. I began by sharing a little lesson with some of my friends daily. After a while, a friend suggested that I create a broadcast list instead of sending it one after the other. I did.  About three years after, a young man sent me an image rendition of the devotional. I loved it. My brother […]

THERE IS STILL HELP IN GOD 

During one of our ministry projects, we trusted the Lord for some money. The deadline was in forty-eight hours. I asked the procurement team to get ready after we had prayed about it.  I still laid before the Lord that night, committing it all to him. I danced and praised him. The first miracle was that I woke up later […]

…BEFORE YOU CRITICISE…

We finished a major meeting some years ago and we had an appraisal meeting of the planning team. In the meeting, a team member began to fire on all cylinders about what went wrong.  When he was done, I asked him, “Did anything go right at all?” He said, “Yes! But so and so was not rightly done.” I said […]

“LET US REMOVE IT, IT IS NOT USEFUL”

There was a rod that was on my car some years back. I think it was called ‘the stabilizing rod.’ There would be times I would be driving and would just hear the sound of clanging iron on the coal tar. The rod would give way without notice. I kept buying new ones.  One day, my mechanic in town told […]

HONOUR FATHERS, DO NOT DESPISE BROTHERS

We were visiting with “Egbon” (an elder brother in the faith and his wife) who are dear teachers to us. We had desired to go for a long while but eventually, we pushed and it happened. We had enough time to ask questions and discuss different issues.  One of the days, he began to share experiences from their journey in […]

DO NOT HIDE WHEN YOU NEED HELP 

I made my considerable share of mistakes as a young minister. They were flowing out of genuine passion that lacked guidance and accountability. Financial issues were a touchy ground for me both as a husband and as a pastor.  There was a time I would use our personal money or Irewamiri’s money to settle ministry bills. It was a form […]

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 […]
