DEFLATE THE PRESSURE BEFORE IT BUILDS 

When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decides to get married, they must understand certain things. The first thing Irewamiri and I told ourselves was that we would save aggressively as we looked toward marriage.  The second was a simple principle: Whenever we are out of money, we would […]

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 […]

WHY GOD KEPT ME FROM ASKING HER OUT EARLIER! 

Irewamiri said that two days before I asked her out, the Holy Spirit prompted her to write a summary of her service year journey. When she finished writing, she noticed that the difference in her service year began when she became a member of the church and met me also.  I love the Holy Spirit. He kept me from asking […]

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 […]
