The Impact of a Blueprint
There are days when I go to bed wondering what my life is about. Maybe I shouldn’t think like that. Maybe I should have it all put together, all worked out, all planned out. Sometimes I get scared and even more scared if anyone found out that I am scared. “Ibukun is not the type that should be scared. In fact when he talks, you know he has it all figured out.” ...

Meditating on God’s word: a key to problem solving
For me, I saw a reduction in the time I spend meditating on the word of God, and He came to my rescue. God’s task for me was simple, He simply said “Stop jotting down sermons in church on Sundays, just listen. When you get back home, reflect back on the sermon, then starting writing about what you learnt”. I have been struggling to do that well for the past ... Read more...
Commitment, a key to fulfillment
For almost the past decade of my life, I have been taught to understand the impact of Christians in the marketplace. Your job is not just a job, it is a ministry, that is your field. The analogy PE gives is: A laptop on one hand, a bible in the other hand. Where I work now, we took Marketplace ministry to another level. I mean, we have fellowship every weekday for 45 ...

It is also written
Last week I spoke about that awesomeness of our great High Priest who was tempted in every way we can be tempted and yet did not sin. And the bible tells us we can come to the throne of grace and obtain mercy and grace to when we need it the most [paraphrased]. Jesus is sitted at the right hand of God ‘praying for you’. Isn’t that beautiful? Sin no ... Read more...
Meet my Family
“God sets the lonely in families”. – Psalm 68:6 God is constantly working, doing this: “Setting the lonely in families”. Even the work of salvation was finished thousands of years ago. For parents (and parents to be) out there, let me encourage you with this, God is the best, most perfect, most patient, most understanding, most clever, most intuitive, most powerful, most loving parent ever, but guess what?, look at ...

E.g. “drinks like a fish” a new prisoner (remember teabag in Prison Break) What kind of fish are you? Ok really, I am not asking you to choose from the list ... Read more...

It is time to go back
it’s time to go back… How far are you willing to travel on the wrong path before you decide to go back? It was a lovely evening coming back from an exciting function when someone offered to drop me at home. We drove on the motorway for a few minutes until we came onto an A-road. A few miles ahead was the exit we needed to get to my house, ... Read more...
Divine Wisdom (Head Service – Partiality)
Head Service (Partiality) Simply put ‘Head Service ‘is running the show carnally and can be defined as “When the agenda of man becomes the benchmark for a Godly cause” ‘Head Service’ in biblical terms means partiality. As Eye Service is eating away the goodies of being a Christian, Head Service is the catalyst that encourages this obnoxious act. Wanting to give bribe is not enough, there must be someone on ...

Divine Wisdom (Hypocrisy)
James 3 vs. 17 The Wisdom from above is without partiality and hypocrisy. The dangers of ‘head service’ and ‘eye service’ Don’t get lost yet, eye service, you probably have heard of but head service?…hmmm, probably not. Eye service is in itself hypocrisy. Pretending to be what you are not, especially whilst performing a form of service. Be it at work, in church, at home etc. This series has been ... Read more...
