I came out one morning and I saw some of my sons and daughters waiting for me right at my door. The first question I asked was “What are you doing here?” Why did I ask that? I did not expect to see them that day at all. They came to pull a surprise on me. You can surprise a […]
I began to have a ministry itinerary in my third year in the University. A dear one was so excited about how the Lord used my friends and I in a teenagers camp meeting. He said to me, “When next you have such a trip, please let me know. I will foot the bill for transportation”. I was very excited. […]
The first time I had someone mention the name of my spiritual father was in 2006. Some of my friends were having a conversation and they began to share about wondrous things the Lord was doing through his hands. A seed was dropped in the ground of my heart. However, I lacked insight and proper interpretation. I thought I was […]
We were on break for some weeks; in my university days. One evening, mum requested that I drive her to church for a sisters’ meeting. While they were in the meeting, I sat in our Nissan Primera station wagon underneath some cashew trees. I honestly was not really praying but I sensed the presence of the Lord. That April evening […]
The day I got a call from the first person who began to partner with us in ministry, I knew it came because I had passed a test. A day earlier, I had no personal cash on me and I needed to make a call for a friend. I could only afford to send a text. Interestingly, there was some […]
A dear teacher shared how he got victory over masturbation and pornography as a young convert. He was a believer but still struggled with sin.

One of the things I learnt from my Pastor when I was serving was the answer to the question “Where are you?” Typically, the answer for most people will be “I am on my way” or “I am coming” or “I will soon be with you”. He will insist that the answer should always be “I am in so and […]
Irewamiri and I had to make a very wise decision early in courtship; we were going to save as much as we can towards our wedding and our marriage. What led to that decision? She had just finished serving the nation and all I had guaranteed every month as a Pastor was five thousand naira! We knew we had to […]
As my friends ushered me to the table at their home, I looked at everything on the table and the only thing I could recognise was the boiled Irish potatoes, everything else looked strange. Initially, I did not want to ask any questions because I did not want to embarrass myself and present myself as a “local boy”. My friends […]
A few years back, I noticed that there was a slightly consistent record of guests (who turned into attendees) in our church who came from another church in the vicinity. I became bothered. Guess what I did? I visited the Pastor and discussed this with him. I told him what I observed and said, “Is all well sir? Is there […]
