DR DELE SINKAYE @60: MODEL OF REVERSE MEDICAL MISSIONARY.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | May 16, 2025 | Events |

Dr Dele Sinkaye is indeed living up to the meaning of his name—SINKAYE—service, worship, and mission across the world. At the advent of Christianity in his hometown, Yagba, Kogi State, his grandfather was named ISINKAYE (shortened to SINKAYE). Dr Sinkaye and his wife, Tina, are models of reverse medical professionals and missionaries. With their selfless dedication, they continue to promote and improve health services in the United Kingdom. The concept of Dr Sinkaye as a model of reverse medical missionary is related to the broader idea of “reverse mission,” where missionaries from the Global South (Africa, Asia, Latin America)...

NIGERIA METHODIST EVANGELICAL LEADER, Very Revd Olukuade @90: Celebrating His Commitment to the Truth of an Inerrant Bible.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Apr 25, 2025 | Events, Methodism, Missions and Evangelism |

Few theologians and leaders are as thoroughly and pervasively Christo-centric as Very Rev Solomon Adebayo Olukuade. His exegesis, theological reflection, and pastoral application are grounded in the truth of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. The Methodist Evangelical Movement (MEM) is deeply indebted to Very Rev Olukuade’s relentless yet loving articulation of the truth of biblical inerrancy. When people on both sides of the Atlantic have argued that the notion of an inerrant biblical text is indefensible and out of touch with the discoveries of contemporary biblical criticism, Very Rev Olukuade has held his ground. He has done it with...

SATAN AT WORK, ‘MISSION ON SALE’: Hope for Workers of Lawlessness Exchanging Worldly Silver for Mission.

“Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot,”– Lk 22:3-4. HAPPY RENEWING HOLY WEEK. As we approach the end of 2025 Lent, one name echoes more than most: Judas Iscariot. Beyond our human process of vilifying Judas, we must be careful not to fall into the trap of minimising our personal sins, iniquities and transgressions. Lent humbles us not to overlook but to confront our personal and corporate compromising capacities and laser-free attitudes and habits to do wrong. Lent summons us to unravel our ugly and immoral layers and theologies of daily decisions. Beloved, are you under satanic manipulation, grappling...

Warning to the Fruitless Church and Leadership.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Mar 27, 2025 | Missions and Evangelism |

Using the words of Basil, a fourth-century theologian, “A tree is known by its fruit…” Proverbially, the quality of a tree is known by the quality of the fruits borne by the tree. The fruit we generate as a church and as a leader determines our missional functionality and not just appearance. The reflection is that without fruit, church and leadership become burdens and consumers. Jesus cursed the fig tree to point us to the “fruitlessness” of Israel’s leadership, the disappointment of Jesus in finding all their religiosity to be “nothing but leaves,” and the inevitability of their utter...
