The truth is “hate speech” only to those who have something to hide.–Michael Rivero
Last Saturday, i watched an episode of a program i had come to like on Series channel, it’s titled, “Moment of Truth”. It’s a reality TV show in which people get to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars just by telling the truth. The program is such that, the contestant is placed on a hot seat, asked questions and with every correct answer earns increasing amounts of money; he/she can choose to walk away at the peak of every stage if the questions get too personal (they always do); he/she is allowed to come with very close family - spouse, parents, and or siblings; for moral support and to check what information one should not divulge in the bid to answer a question in order to win money.

5 days ago was my fifth wedding anniversary. Yesso! I’ve been married for 5 good years…hmmm. Really, it does feel much shorter than five years ago that i got married. I look back and am amazed at the number of milestones God has helped me attain within this period - it’s been a mixture of joys, uncertainties, challenges, dreams, hopes and aspirations….the years have been extremely eventful.

Last week, I spoke with, and counselled a young lady who had been fraught with a lot of issues in the past 7 years or so. She had been a product of a broken marriage between her parents; she had gotten pregnant and had a child along the line, she had kept multiple partners to maintain a good lifestyle and cater for her child who is now in school, etc. (more…)
WHO AM I? That is one of the most difficult questions to answer for any body. It’s not a question one can answer properly without thinking deeply about it. It’s so easy and convenient to define who you are by positions you occupy or roles you play in different places, or titles and this brings about a situation in which a person is under pressure to live up to a position or title. This stifles originality and ineffectiveness. Because you haven’t discovered who you are, you attempt to do everything and and are not focused to be able to achieve results. (more…)
Last week, i was listening to a tape in which the speaker mentioned some things about the number 4; then i became curious and decided to do a research on the significance of some numbers and write on them, what they stand for physically and spiritually. (more…)
“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under-foot by men.” - Matt 5:13 (NKJ)
There was a period when it seemed as if everyone around me who i had trusted over the years began to degenerate as far as strength of character was concerned. It was as if you had to search long and very hard to find people who were morally upright. (more…)
Tuesday was my daughter’s graduation. Did i hear someone say “what”? Yesso, it was - from Nursery to Primary, it’s not easy! lol. I was there with Deolu as we watched all of them dressed in black suits and white shirts, looking really cute and adorable. (more…)
Recently, i’ve had cause to speak with a number of young people, one on one. During one of those sessions, i spoke with a lady who wanted to grow spiritually. I shared some things with her and gave her some assignments involving bible study, praying the Pauline prayers, etc. Then i encouraged her about the power of words in achieving your goal. I gave her some confession write-ups and i’ll like to share one of them with you today. (more…)
The two hot slaps he received initiated him into the cult. After receiving the slaps, he heard a voice in the room which told him, “welcome to the pirates club”. The next night was the initiation proper. It was an experience. From then onwards, he became a devout member, attended the meetings regularly, became a force to reckon with on campus and enjoyed the good things of life - girls, booze, etc. There was no girl he wanted that he didn’t get.
