About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Ile - Ife, Osun State, Nigeria

Hi, I am a graduate of IfeLaw, Nigeria and Senior/Resident Pastor of BELIEVERS ASSEMBLY - a campus church at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. I believe so much in the ability of God (as distant and unreal as many think He is) to reach down and touch your life. More than anything else, I have set my mind and heart to daily cover more ground in my pursuit of God. Many pursue after love, and happiness and success...but its in Christ that these find their true and lasting roots! God's word impacts on what matters most in heaven and on earth - the souls of men!

UP IN MY ROOM!

Up in my room one cloudy Monday morning
I ask myself "what is love?"
Jesus answers, 'this is love...'
"That My Father loved you ever so much
He gave My life that you might live."
Oh! What sacrifice that Jesus should lay His life for me!

Still up in my room that cloudy Monday morning
I ask myself "why then is love so scarce?"
Jesus answers me, 'this is why...'
"Because the world even in the face of grace
has refused My one perfect sacrifice."
Oh! That the world would see that Jesus, the love of God is...THE ONLY WAY.

Now, up in my room this cloudy Monday morning, I ask myself, "what must I do to show this love?"
And Jesus answers me 'Do this only...'
"As My Father loves you through Me, you also radiate this love for all the world to see and so believe."
Oh! Now I truly see that...
LOVE IS THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY.
