"Baba Olowere shared a story."
He was fasting and praying for days, and he fainted. I think it was on the 40th day that he fainted. When he fainted, people were pouring water on him, crying and praying, "Baba, come back! Baba, come back!" Baba was gone.
He said in that state, he traveled. He saw an angel pick him up, take him from Ibadan, and bring him to Lagos. When he got to Lagos, the angel took him to Bar Beach on the island.
When they got to Bar Beach, they entered deep into the water. Baba would not share this story lightly. They went down inside the water, and a spirit came out and said, "These are the keys of your family."
They were all bound together. But because he had come through prayer and fasting, they removed his own key and gave it to him!
The spirit said, "Tell everybody around you—anyone who is ready should come and collect their own key. But for now, take your key and go."
And then he returned out of the water, came back into his body, and shattered the physical realm as he woke up! He came alive, and the people were rejoicing, shouting, "Our father is back! Our father is back!"
He said, "Ah, no! I went to collect my key!"
He said, "That is why today, nobody in my generation is close to who I am."
Listen to me: you can collect your key.
You can break the patterns of the past and start a new order—at least for the sake of your children! You don't have to carry a blessing and carry a curse at the same time.
You can break the cycle today.

"I remember when we all graduated from university."
You know how people check on people? People just started checking on me for some reason—calling me on the phone. Back then, it was very fanciful to get a bank job. Everybody was calling me, asking: "What are you doing? I'm working with Oceanic Bank now! I work with Standard Trust Bank!"
Everybody was working. "Where are you working?"
God has a plan for you. Please, I beg of you: you don't have a mate.
Jehu was sitting with his peers, and Jehu was called out from among them. Never forget—you don't have a mate. I wish you would understand what I just said. I don't have a mate.
They are doing better than me? Let them do! I seem to be doing better than them? I'm not going to look at how I am better than them and be applauding myself—because even where I am right now does not look like where God is taking me.
Even when I started working with the United Nations, when it was something to be proud of—when some of them found out and said, "Oh my goodness, you work with UNFPA now? You mean you work with UNFPA?!"—something inside me was still telling me: "That place where you are does not look like where I am taking you."
Sir, I put in my resignation. I resigned.
I must have disappointed everybody who knew me. "And you resigned to do what? Live in Umuahia and do ministry in Umuahia?!"
Sir, I knew my calling. I don't have a mate!
Right now, they've decided to forget me. Let them forget you! Let me tell you something: you were beginning to settle where you have outgrown. If the brothers of Joseph never hated him, he would have remained comfortable in his father's house. But his brothers hated him—and that hatred was necessary. Because if you don't push me out, I will not come into the fullness of my destiny.
I don't have a mate. The decisions you take will show whether you truly believe you have a mate.
When you begin to settle around people, the Lord is saying to you: "Listen, you've outgrown this."
Unless you are not a person of destiny—your mates are building houses? Let them build! Your mates are traveling abroad? Let them travel!
When your own season comes, have you ever heard of forty years of progress happening in one day? Have you ever heard: "I will restore unto you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the palmerworm"?
If you understand destiny, you will rest.

"I didn't sleep in the house of a lady on campus to commit sin. I slept overnight, but even though I didn't touch her, I was overwhelmed by pain and sadness, and I went to that lady's house because I wanted someone I could talk to.
And as I was coming out of her house and got to the campus gate, I met my pastor.
"Where are you coming from?" he asked.
I said, "I'm coming from sister so-and-so's place."
He said, "You must have been intimate with her."
I said, "I didn't! I didn't do anything with her."
He said, "No, you must have."
I wept. I didn't touch her. But they made me confess in front of the church—that I slept in sister so-and-so's house. I tried to tell them nothing happened, but they didn't give me a chance. They suspected me, and I had to start sitting at the back of the church.
Everyone was looking at me. I looked like the worst sinner in the world. My heart was broken. Everything around me was broken.
I told the Holy Spirit, "Is there anything left in my life that You can still use? Is there anything left, oh God?"
So, I packed my bags and I went to the Redeemed Camp. I said, "Jesus, You have to speak to me. Holy Spirit, if there's still something that I can do in my life, You have to let me know."
When I got to the gate of the Redeemed Camp, the Holy Ghost spoke to me. He said, "Son, I will speak with you today."
I said, "No, Lord. If You like, don't speak to me. I'm going to die here in Your presence."
I wept and I cried, and I began to pray.
At about 15 minutes to 12:00 midnight—this story was about 15 or 16 years ago, but I can't forget—the Holy Ghost said, "Philip, come out. I want to speak with you."
So, I came out of the tabernacle where I was praying, like a tent in the Redeemed Camp.
He said, "Move straight." I started going straight.
He said, "Turn left." I turned left.
I was going like that until it became 15 minutes to 1:00 AM. Everywhere was pitch dark. It was Redeemed Camp over 15 years ago, so the place wasn't as developed as it is now.
I said, "Holy Ghost, is it because I said I want to die that You now brought me here to this forest?" I said, "No, Holy Ghost, You cannot force me."
As I turned back to go, I couldn't find my way again—because it was the Spirit of God that led me there. You see, you cannot continue in the flesh what you began in the Spirit.
So, what do I do? What am I going to do now?
I lifted up my face. Someone was coming ahead of me. He had a rod in his hands. I said, "This must be the night guard. Let me ask him if he can tell me the way out of this place."
As I drew closer to him... it was Pastor E.A. Adeboye. He had come there to pray that night, and the Holy Spirit led me right there to meet with him!
Oh, I cried! I cried! I wept and I wept. I held his legs. He laid hands on me. Oh, I wept, I wept, I wept. He prayed for me, and he walked with me.
The Holy Ghost spoke to me and said, "Son, if I could lead you here—go left, go right, turn left, turn right—and I brought you to the presence of My son, then I'm not done with your life."

"I will tell you a story—there's no child here."
A couple reached out to me. The man said, "You know, my wife listens to you, and that's why I'm reaching out to you. For a while now, we've not been able to be intimate, and it's really, really getting to me."
He was begging me to just have a conversation with her, believing that since she listens to me, I'd be able to get through to her.
So I saw the email, gave them an appointment, and we had a conversation. They had their marital issues here and there, but they said they had resolved everything and everything was fine.
So I looked at her, "Toma, what's the issue? Why are you pulling away from your husband?"
She asked me to tell him to leave the call, so I told him to drop.
She said that one day when they were arguing... Now, the guy likes intimacy in a specific way—Jesus is Lord—he likes a particular position, from behind. A style. If you don't get it, why are you stressing me? You're making me look like a sinner, I'm shy!
So that's what the guy likes. Whatever they are doing, he will always want her to get into that position. She said one day during an argument, he told her to carry her "bony bu**um" away.
Now, they've settled the fight, and you are asking her for that same position! Every time she turns, she remembers what he said, and she's not comfortable. She has forgiven him, but he has damaged her self-esteem.
Anybody who says, "It was just off my mind," is out of their mind!
Religion that doesn't bridle the tongue is no religion. James summarized true piety as controlling your mouth. Because one of the major things that breaks marriages is resentment—and that resentment comes from words that people can't take back.
Amen.

"When I got newly married, my marriage was hell. Very hell."
If there's something called 'heavier than hell,' that was exactly how my marriage was.
How do you get married, and in the very first week, your wife gets upset over a simple question? I was coming from a background where we didn't know too much anger, but I got married to a woman who knew the full definition of anger.
I asked her a question while she was in the kitchen lining up teacups and saucers. A very simple question—I can't even remember what I asked. But with one hand, my wife just swept all the cups and plates onto the ground.
Guam! Guam! Guam! Guam! Guam!
Then she turned and gave me a stare. I just backed away, went to the room, packed my things, and ran away from the house! Because the next thing I thought was that she was going to start hitting me. I never saw that coming.
This continued for a while because she had a fundamental problem with anger. I couldn't talk to my wife. I couldn't express myself. Every now and then, she acted like the man in the house.
To cut a long story short, one day I told God, "You know what? I'm done. I've done everything right in this life; the only thing I got wrong was my marriage."
Let me give you another instance. My wife and I were on the streets of London. She went into a shop, leaving me behind, so I went into another shop nearby to pick something up. When she came out, I said, "Uh-uh, you should have told me you were going into that shop so we could go together. I'm not used to the cold around here."
She looked at me: "What did you say? What did you say?"
I told her, "That's what I said. Do you want me to be afraid of you?"
That was a phrase I often used because she always acted in a way that made it feel like I should be terrified of her. The moment I said that, she left me in that shop and went home! She was living in London then, while I was living in Nigeria. She left me in the shop and went home alone.
I didn't even realize I had been left until I called her friend and asked, "Chinwe, please, where is my wife? I'm standing here and I don't know where to go. I don't know where my wife brought me to."
Chinwe called my wife: "Enoh, where are you? Your husband is on the high street."
She replied, "Let him find his way back home."
And that is how my wife left me on the street! As soon as I managed to get back to her house, I packed my things, changed my flight ticket, and left that night. That was how terrible things were.
Even when she finally returned to Nigeria so we could live together, things got worse.
One day, while praying, I told God, "This is the end. Let her go her way and let me go mine. She is successful, I am successful, and everyone will be fine."
But God said something to me that changed everything:
"This marriage is not a destination. It is an assignment. The extent to which you handle this assignment will determine your promotion and your destiny."
My entire perspective shifted. I stopped looking at marriage as a place where I came to receive love and expect her to always say the right things. Instead, it became a place where I had to give love, say the right things, and refrain from responding to anger with anger.
I won't tell you it was a bed of roses—it was not! But today, my wife is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She was not like this before. God had to bring me to a place where I viewed my marriage as an assignment.
We all have different assignments in our homes. But the moment you change your mindset and realize "This is my assignment," your approach to your marital issues will completely change.

"And like a fool, I fell into immorality with her."
I remember one meeting back on campus—it was a worship meeting, powerful that night. I still remember what I was wearing: I remember the jeans, I remember the T-shirt. I rolled on the floor crying. Anybody that would have seen me that day would have said, "Kai, how he loves Jesus!"
In fact, as I was walking to my hostel, I was skipping, singing sweet songs to the One whom my heart loves.
When I got to the hostel... I was staying in what you call a semi-self-contained—it's two rooms. Those people in Delta State University will know that place: it's Emu Hostel. Abraka. Emu Hostel. They call it semi-self-contained, so two rooms sharing a toilet, kitchen, and bathroom.
In our own room, we were three brothers. In their own room, there were three girls. Me and my roommates, her and her roommates.
Meanwhile, one of the girls in that room, I had noticed over a period that I had begun to have a reaction towards her, and I was fighting it in the place of prayer. That day that I came back from worship, as I was about to climb the stairs, I noticed her room door was open and there was light.
Everything within my being said, "Kesena, enter your room!"
But you see, I said, "Let me just go and greet."
So I entered there and rested on the table. There was just a candle light; she was sprawled on the bed. She was in her nightgown. It was night, and I was just coming from fellowship. And the way the candle cast her shadow...
You see, before you judge David, make sure you can survive what he survived.
And then I said hello, and was about to take my leave, when she said, "What are you doing there now? Come."
And you see, I lie not to you, till today, if you ask me how I left that table and got to that bed, I don't know how. I'm not exaggerating, God is my witness—I just know that I was once here, and I found myself there.
But that's not the whole story.
At this time, I was already leading morning devotions in that hostel. 5:00, 6:00 AM, I'm the one on the field—crowds gather. They knew me as a man of God. I taught morning devotions to cultists. I was a cultist myself before I got saved. I saw confra people come and meet me in the room and say, "Kai, what you said today..."
I was already leading morning devotions with power, with grace. Early hours of the morning, everybody on my block would hear my tongues rattle—I must do it for two hours before I step out.
It was the same me, right in the middle of temptation, getting ready to do the devil's work—I was the one that whispered to her, "They will catch us. They will catch us."
Uncle, if they are going to catch us, is it not to get up and lock the door? But you know what I said? "Let's go outside, they will catch us."
So we came out and went behind the hostel, and I fell into sin with her—not knowing that the neighbor opposite watched the whole thing from beginning to end!
The next morning, I got up as usual, and I wanted to ascend. I lay on my bed, and I sought for the One whom my heart loves... and I found Him not. Normally, if I start praying, I can shut you out for four hours, and it will come like oil.
I tried, I tried... I couldn't break through.
Then the brother from the other room just came, opened the curtain and said, "Kai, Pastor, you're too much! Kai!"
Tears fell from my eyes.
If your life does not match what you claim comes from your heart, your life is a lie. We claim to love the Bridegroom, but it is not Him we love—we love His activities. We're in love with singing songs of ascension, but we don't love Him. His presence has not become valuable to us to the point where anything that fights our intimacy with God, we now treat as an enemy.
Do you know that prayer itself can become an idol? That you now elevate the length of prayer more than what prayer is supposed to give you?
Prayer is not a successful enterprise because you prayed long; it's a successful enterprise because of what happened to you when you prayed. The journey of prayer is supposed to be transformational. If you are consistently making contact with God, your appetites should change. Your outlook on life should change. Your passions, your desires, your likes should change.

DEAR PASTOR, DON'T MAKE THE FOLLOWING MONEY MISTAKES
By Apostle Mfon Udoema

Dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink! Yes, a small mistake can outweigh much wisdom and honor.
Ecclesiastes 10:1 TLB

Someone once said that if you gather 10 pastors randomly and ask them about their greatest challenge in ministry, 9 out of 10 will tell you that their greatest challenge is lack of money or insufficient money for ministry.

In a bid for pastors to get money for their personal survival and for ministry, they have ended up doing things, albeit unwittingly, that have adversely affected them and their ministries. Mfon

The truth is that ministry and money are inseparable. Mfon. Money plays a vital and pivotal role in ministry.

The minister needs money and the ministry also needs money. A minister without money will become a burden to his ministry and a ministry without money will become a burden to the minister. Mfon. If a minister has money but his ministry does not have money, virtually all the money of the minister will be used to run the ministry and it will negatively affect the minister's family. Mfon. If a ministry has money but the minister does not have money, virtually all the money of the ministry will be used to take care of the needs of the minister and his family and it will negatively affect the ministry. Mfon

Let us examine some money mistakes a minister must avoid.

1. DON'T GIVE OUT THE PULPIT FOR PROMOTION OF BUSINESSES OR INVESTMENTS
The sanctity of the pulpit is sacrosanct and must be upheld. Mfon
Don't allow people to introduce business or investment schemes from the pulpit.
No Multi Level Marketing group should be given access to the pulpit. Mfon.
Doing this grieves the Holy Spirit and when the business or investment scheme fails, you could be arrested and imprisoned for being part of it's promoters. You will also lose the trust and confidence of your congregants.

2. DON'T INTRODUCE, PROMOTE OR ENDORSE ANY BUSINESS OR INVESTMENT SCHEME TO YOUR MEMBERS
Several pastors have fought lawsuits and some have even been imprisoned for promoting and endorsing failed businesses and investments to their members. Mfon.

3. DON'T ENTER INTO BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT DEALS OR PARTNERSHIPS WITH MEMBERS
You will lose your authority as a shepherd when you begin to transact businesses and investments with your members. Mfon.
If you must engage in businesses and investments as a pastor, use other people to transact your business.

4. DON'T GUARANTEE OR SURETY LOANS
If you guarantee or surety loans and the person defaults or absconds you will be held to pay the loan. Mfon.
Around 2009-2010, my father suretied a loan for a pastor in the church who said she wanted to use the money to empower women in the church as capital to start or boost their businesses. The loan amount was about N2,500,000. Mfon.
After she took the loan, she left the church and left Calabar eventually. She stopped taking my dad's calls and she didn't reply messages sent to her.
Eventually the bank came and started harassing my dad to pay.

5. DON'T TAKE LOANS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN
A lot of people have entered into bo***ge and depression due to servicing of loans. Mfon.
Before you take a loan, consult an accountant or financial expert to study the terms and conditions of the loan and explain it to you very well. Mfon.
A lot of loans are not well explained by the financial institution offering the loan and because it is not properly explained, so many grey areas are not understood by the person getting the loan. Mfon.
After getting the loan you become hooked.
Most loans are charged with compound interest and not simple interest and the truth is that nobody will give you a loan and leave you alone.

6. DON'T TAKE LOANS FROM ONLINE LOAN SHARKS
If you take loan from online loan sharks, you are likely to experience shame and disgrace.
Your name and picture will be spread all over the Internet and social media.

7. DON'T INVEST WITHOUT INVESTIGATING
A lot of pastors recently lost huge amounts of money in CBEX. So many pastors have lost money in get rich quick schemes. Mfon.
One of the cardinal rules of investment is that you must investigate before you invest.
It is disheartening that pastors lost money in MMM, Ultimate Cycle, Stakers, Loom, CBEX, etc.

8. DON'T BEG OR BORROW MONEY FROM MEMBERS
As much as possible as a minister, avoid beginning. If you have a need and you must ask for help, ask from close friends and family members but avoid appearing as a beggar to your members.
If you must borrow money, don't borrow from your members. Mfon.
Begging and borrowing from members will make you lose you dignity and authority before your members and it will affect the ministry adversely.

Conclusively, as a pastor, don't be ignorant of financial matters. Learn everything that you can about money and financial matters.

Learn from the Bible and learn from secular financial experts.

Learn about fund raising, savings, investment, stockbroking, shareholding, banking, etc.

Know a little about every aspect of finance.

Be intentional about your personal and ministry finance and avoid financial mistakes that can ruin you and your ministry.

Listen carefully Pastor Kesiena Esiri .

22/08/2026

Nothing creates connection like communication. Even people you have no affection for, if you start talking to them every day, you'll discover that you start liking them. And that's what some of these strange brothers in church do.
That's why we counsel young ladies: please, let nobody become so close that it blocks your windscreen, and nobody can see you anymore. The moment church is over, "Hey, how are you doing? Yeah, yeah." Every day, you are talking, you are talking, you are talking, you are talking! You will discover your heart will open, you will lose your guard, and after seven years, he will now come and give you his wedding card!
What do you mean? You say, "Ah, we're just friends. You were my best friend!"
Ah, that's when you will discover it's not wise to make a best friend of the opposite s*x if you are... Please, there are levels of communication that are for married people. The reason is because communication breeds connection. Talk to people, but there should be a threshold you don't take it beyond.
In fact, don't let certain people who are not family call you at certain times. Somebody is calling you around 11:00 PM or 12:00 midnight—let him go and pray! There are encounters happening at that time. That's the hour of warfare. Somebody can't just wake up and be calling you around 11:00 PM or 12:00 midnight and say he just wants to catch up. No!
Why? Because certain people are robbed of emotion, so they are looking for people to satisfy that emotion, and they waste your whole life healing their own heart.
Please, build a rigid law around your communications. I'm so used to it now that if you call me, I say, "What is happening?" Naturally! "What's happening?" Because there's no time to ho-ho-ho-ho-ho for one hour while you are talking about nothing. Don't waste your life like that.
When you are married, you build connection through communication.
