If you are feeling down and things don't seem to be working, do this.

Get into a room alone, shut the door and begin to declare God's promises out loud speaking forth his blessings and strength into your life.

Do it until your mood changes and then you would have broken the back of a spirit which was trying to put you in bondage.

Repeat this every time a depressing feeling comes on you and sooner than you think it will be a thing of the past and a new season will be born in your life.

You rebuke pastors from your Facebook account, call out churches from your couch, and think your bitterness is boldness.
If correction feels like your hobby but compassion feels like weakness, you might just be a wounded Pharisee with Wi-Fi.

STEPHENIZATION!

Dear Church worker,
You who hold the doors, set the chairs, run the cables, greet the guests, drive the pastors, monitor the sound, care for the children, organise the order—this is your charge, your mirror, your blueprint.

This is not about what you do.
This is about how you do it.
Because heaven is not watching for titles—it is watching for faithfuls!

1. Stephen: Not a Footnote—A Firebrand Blueprint

Let’s settle this once and for all—Stephen is not a minor character. He is a divine pattern.
He wasn’t a preacher, apostle, or pastor, yet Jesus stood for him in heaven.
Stephen is the ultimate challenge to every church worker—usher, protocol, media, admin, logistics, etc.—to raise the bar of spiritual excellence.
2. Stephen Solved What Tongues Couldn’t

When murmuring arose in the early church, the apostles didn’t cast out demons or hold another fire conference.
They said, “Choose men who are full of the Holy Ghost, full of wisdom, and of honest report.”
And Stephen was one of them.

He was chosen not to preach, but to distribute bread to widows—yet the standard was spiritual fire.

Once Stephen took his post:

The murmuring ceased

Order returned

Revival was preserved

The Word of God multiplied

That’s what real service does—it carries weight, not titles.
3. Stephen Carried Glory in an Apron

Stephen wasn’t looking for attention.
He wasn’t climbing a ministry ladder.
He was already full—full of the Holy Ghost, full of faith, full of wisdom, full of power.

And that’s what it took just to serve food.

Today, people want mics without maturity.
They want titles without truth.
But Stephen proves: you couldn’t pour water unless fire poured from your spirit.
4. Stephen Was a Walking Bible

When the moment came, this man who served tables preached the longest and deepest sermon in the Book of Acts.

He quoted over 25 scriptures from memory
Traced Christ from Abraham to Jesus

Interpreted types, shadows, and redemptive history

Introduced the ministry of the Holy Spirit

Confronted rebellion and preached Jesus without fear

No title. No microphone. No invitation.
Just a servant, soaked in Scripture and bold in truth.
5. Stephen Loved Like Jesus

As they stoned him—while his bones shattered and blood poured—Stephen didn’t curse, cry out for vengeance, or complain.

He said,
“Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.”

That’s not just emotional control.
That’s divine nature.
Stephen didn’t just serve like Jesus—he died like Him.
In pain, he released mercy.
6. Stephen Got a Standing Ovation from the King

And then the moment came.

Stephen looked up and said:
“I see the Son of Man STANDING at the right hand of God.”

Pause.
Jesus, who is always described as seated in glory, stood up for a man who served food with fire.

He didn’t stand for Peter.
He didn’t stand for John.
He didn’t stand for Paul.
He stood for Stephen.

Not because Stephen was famous.
But because Stephen was faithful.
7. Stephen Proves There Is Power for Every Servant

He had:
Word level that was unmatched

Wisdom level that silenced religious elites

Spirit level that produced signs and wonders

Love level that reflected Christ

Problem-solving capacity that stabilised revival

Glory capacity that earned heaven’s ovation

Stephen didn’t carry titles.
He carried presence.
He didn’t host crusades—he hosted glory.

8. Final Charge: Make Heaven Stand Again

Let this thunder in your soul—Stephen didn’t need a pulpit to make heaven rise.
And neither do you.

When you open the church doors,
Set the chairs,
Run the media,
Care for children,
Clean the floor,
Organise the order—

Do it like Stephen.

Full of the Word
Full of the Spirit
Full of Wisdom
Full of Faith
Full of Love
Full of Power

Because done right, service silences murmuring, protects revival, multiplies the Word, and earns a standing ovation from the Lord Himself.

9. Dear Usher, Protocol, Sound, Media, Security, Welfare, Intercession, Children’s Teachers, Sanitation,

It’s Time to STEPHENIZE!

[dele osunmakinde @deleosunmakinde]

Beloved,

Luke 18:10–14 is not just a parable—it is a divine audit. Jesus wasn’t casually telling a story. He was sounding the alarm on a posture that many still carry today—praying themselves out of grace while believing they’re operating in deep spirituality. This is not about the words of the Pharisee—it’s about the heart posture that heaven rejects.

Look closely. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself. Not with God. His prayer didn’t rise—it was self-contained. Why? Because when your entire communication with God is centred on your superiority, your disciplines, your sacrifices, and your ability to outdo others—you’re not praying to God, you’re praying to yourself.

Hear his so-called thanksgiving:
“God, I thank You that I am not like other men…”
That’s not gratitude—it’s veiled condemnation. It’s a spiritualised attack masked as a praise report. And the object of his scorn? “Other men.”
In today’s language:
“I’m not like those other believers…”
“I’m not like that pastor who’s always begging…”
“I fast twice a week, I tithe faithfully, I’ve never compromised the way others do…”

You see the problem?
Whenever your spiritual practices become a scorecard and your justification is built on the flaws of others, you have completely exited the justification lane. Jesus said this man—though fasting, praying, giving—went home unjustified. Think about that!

It’s loud. It’s legalistic. It’s proud. But above all—it’s rejected.

This is where many today err: they build a platform out of someone else’s weakness. They showcase their consecration by displaying someone else’s failure. They dress their condemnation in the garments of thanksgiving. But God is not deceived.

Let me be clear:
If your Thanksgiving depends on the downfall or inferiority of others—then it is not gratitude. It is pride.
If your prayer is a display of superiority and not a cry for mercy—then it is self-worship.

Verse 14 delivers the verdict with thunder:
“Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

This is no light matter.
It is not about publicans and Pharisees—it’s about you.
Are you brandishing your fasting, your praying, your giving—not as a response to mercy, but as a means to stand apart from others?

Stop. Drop the act. Heaven is not moved by spiritual showmanship. God resists the proud—even when they’re praying, fasting, and giving.

Check your posture. Justification is not given to those who perform. It’s given to those who bow.

Dear ministers
School of ministry began on a very high note...

Let this serve as a loud and lasting reminder of what we encountered in Module One of the School of Ministry—a foundational truth that must govern your entire journey in life and ministry:

The fire of God never precedes the light of God. Revelation always comes before revival.

Jesus did not send the disciples into the Upper Room without first walking them through a 40-day school of the Word.
Acts chapter 1 was not a waiting room—it was a classroom. For forty days, He rewired their theology, unpacked the Kingdom, and unlocked their understanding.
This was not motivational speaking. It was the first School of Ministry—personally led by the Resurrected Christ Himself.

On the road to Emmaus, He met two disappointed disciples—not with signs and wonders, but with Scripture.
He started from Moses, traced the Prophets, and revealed Himself in every shadow and type.
Their hearts did not burn because of emotions—they burned because the Scriptures came alive.

“Did not our hearts burn within us while He opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)

That is the divine protocol:
Light before fire. Word before power. Scripture before Spirit.

By the time the Holy Ghost came in Acts chapter 2, they were not confused or clueless.
Their minds had been renewed. Their understanding was opened. Their hearts were burning.
Peter did not stand up to guess—he stood up to interpret. Joel, Psalms, the Prophets—it all made sense because he had first sat at the feet of Truth.

Key Reminders from Module One:

1. The Upper Room was birthed by a 40-day Word Room.

2. Emmaus teaches us that revival begins with revelation.

3. A burning heart is the proof of Scripture doing surgery, not just feelings.

4. Apostolic power rests on apostolic comprehension.

5. Ministry without understanding is just noise.

6. You cannot carry the fire of God if the Word of God has not first carried you.

Ministers, never forget this.
Don’t chase manifestations if you’ve skipped the Scriptures.
Don’t rush to platforms until you’ve embraced the pages.
Fire without light is wildfire. Word without Spirit is dry bones.
But when the Word and the Spirit align—that is where heaven moves.

Stay grounded. Stay burning.
Word first. Spirit next.
That is the foundation of the ongoing school of ministry—and the future of your ministry.

All I do in life and ministry is to build bridges...
Today I do not have anyone I'm fighting in life and in ministry...
I'm a free spirit doing what God has put in my heart to do

I avoid contentions like a plague...i keep my heart pure and void of offences...
I'm quick to call and clarify issues and I'm quick to apologise when I'm wrong...

I do not sow the seed of discord among brethren...i will never use your issues with me or weaknesses against you.

I find it difficult to judge others.
I see the best in anyone, I believe God uses people in spite of their flaws...

I honour all
And I consistently walk in love...

I'm secured in God and in the ministry he has given to me...

I'm quick to forgive and forget...

The love of God is shed abroad in my heart...

Amen!

Yours truly

RAISING YOUR CHILDREN INTENTIONALLY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

I have lived in the UK long enough to give informed advice on how to raise children. I have seen them in church, in society and in the criminal justice system as a lawyer. I have raised three adult children in the system. I have seen my dear wife work with children for the last 30 years and she ended up with a degree in Early Childhood Studies.

Raise your children well from their early years. There will not be a magical transformation in their growth. There will hardly be a sudden transformation in their development. Whatever you don’t like in their life, you should change as a responsible parent. Children will become a bigger picture of who they currently are. Be particular about their choice of friends. Pay attention to their characters and attitude. Discourage laziness. Instil confidence in them. Tell them they are not inferior. I tell my children and church members regularly.

If you cannot control their association because of the environment that you live in, please change accommodation. Change schools if they keep getting in trouble or you are seeing dangerous traits. We had to move from a particular borough when we saw some bad characters around. One of the boys then had 5 children by the age of 23 and he was not working.

My GP of 32 years is an Asian. He is like a father to me. When my children were very young, he said if I have two houses, I should sell one to put them in private schools to penetrate this society. He said alternatively, I should do everything to get them into grammar schools. I did not understand him then but I do now.

Whilst many African children are becoming TikTok and Instagram nuisances, the Asians are raising their children well, pushing them into private schools, grammar schools and top universities. They are also not letting go of their culture. Their children understand and speak their language. It is my fellow Nigerians that even their children living in Nigeria do not understand their language. We love everything foreign. Sophisticated madness!

Most Asian children in the UK become ‘lawyers, accountants, doctors’ etc before their graduation. How? They work in settings either founded by their parents or relatives whilst still studying. Africans should start setting things up rather than letting our children get work experience in casinos, Tesco or Lidl. Most of their children come out of university with good grades and no debt. Some African children come out with poor grades as they had to work whilst studying to foot some bills. They come out of university with debts they pay for years.

Finally, get involved in your children’s choices of career. Advise them. Counsel them. Don’t make an irresponsible statement that as long as they enjoy it. What they enjoy may not benefit them and can make them ‘slaves’ in the UK system for years. I see a lot of depressed young black people who were frustrated by the system being led by those they were far better than.

They give them jobs and pay them salaries. They systematically abuse them, suppress them and psychologically make them believe they are second-class citizens. Eventually, they get rid of them or they resign out of frustration.

I have so much to tell you but my wife just called me. See you later.

Dele Olawanle is my name. I write and speak to make lives better.
