A Pep Talk on Excellence

By Efosa Ogiamien

It is a pity that the children of Satan appreciate spiritual things more than the heirs of salvation. I feel bad when I notice Christian scholars who do not understand that scholarship is spiritual.

Whether you believe it or not, unless the devil gives you understanding, you cannot understand occultic books and secrets. My friends, there are better laboratories and libraries in the other world.

It was then known as Chapel of Ecclesiastes (Now called Upper room Parish) and Deacon Kolade Adesiyan was our pastor. He selected about six of us and trained us as ministers under him to help with the work of the ministry. As I recall, we were in a meeting after a Sunday service when he instructed each minister to do a write up fit for the notice board for the congregation. No topic was given. We were to write as the Lord led us.
