Hello !
You might just need this.
Please Read.
When you work with a leader or someone that stretches you beyond your comfort zone, and truly wants you to be a better version of yourself,
You have no idea what God is doing for you.
My late mentor, Pastor Eskor Mfon was never really
a professional musician per se, but was a great worshipper and one that had an ear for good music.
He would come into our choir room after we had spent hours rehearsing. He’d sit, cross His legs, rest his jaws on his palm, close his eyes and listen to what we had done. After a while, he’d shake his head, smile and heave an interesting sigh “aaaaahhhh !”, and then say to us “okay okay well done o, but we can’t give God this kind of worship tomorrow, let’s start again…” And believe me, another 2-3 hours of work…. He’d tell us, “you know we can’t take people to a place we have not been to ourselves…”
He would share scriptures, explain what ministry was all about, then sit with us as we slugged it out.
Anyway, those days would later become the foundation of my music ministry today.
Hmmm, There were days I thought “this stress is just too much” just to lead worship ??? But what did I know ? Poor boy ! My eyes opened one day, and I caught it.
The inheritance I got from him was not money and material things, even though he took good care of us. But the values, principles, work ethic, mind shift, wisdom, spiritual intelligence and understanding, emphasis on prayer, word, purity, integrity, character, excellence etc.
Today I honour him everywhere I go, because in hindsight, He was God sent - To a young man who only had talent, but with very little or no sense of direction.
So, to anyone out there, connecting with this post and perhaps in a similar place, I say receive GRACE to maximize the moment. Learn and glean all you can now, never despise the process, instead appreciate and honour it. For not everyone is privileged to have another man or woman who leave their own thing to sit on your matter, just to make sure you excel in life. It is a blessing !
And in case it appears to be taking longer than it should, may be, just maybe. you are cut out for the BIG TIME. And in no distant future we would be reading your own inspiring story.
But Please note ! Only make sure the person or leader is one that meets the criteria above - I.e, one who truly desires to see a better version of you and wants you to fulfill your prophetic destiny. And Not just one who seeks to hijack your life, control it and put in under lock and key.
Blessings

Many people call him Governor Amuneke. I call him a memory. Beyond this cap, beyond this agbada, behind every joke, is the story of a boy who refused to accept that broken systems were normal. Every laugh hides a question. Every skit carries a memory. Every edit challenges us to see what was left out. I’m Arua Kevin Chinedu, and I’ll be joining other remarkable speakers at TEDxMaitama 2026 on July 25th. Come with me as we go beyond the edit, and discover the power of satire to rebuild accountability. I’ll see you there.
The privilege to be alive should be celebrated daily-it’s your birthday.
Surely, 60 beckons soon! But we don’t look like what we’ve gone through.
We will not be stranded in the journey of life, in the name of Jesus.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me. I’m grateful.
Just move White back to centre back where he’s unlikely to get injured and sign an attacking right back. White is one of the few players who can replace Saliba in build up play.
Ekiti is at it again. From given us the highest scorer in 2026 JAMB results (372) to given us a global spelling Bee gold medalist: Oluwadamilola Oreofe.
We will not stop blowing our trumpets.
Congratulations Oluwadamilola Oreofe and your team.
Made it to 50th Street West and Sixth Avenue here in New York. Why? Because they renamed it Thierry Henry Way of course. One of the greatest footballers I’ve ever seen grace the game and a true Arsenal colossus. Had to pay a pilgrimage! Come on you Gunners! ❤️
