I am honoured to serve as an anchor at MAMRE, one of the biggest events in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

I intend to do my work.

This statement means, "I plan to do my work soon."

It doesn't mean,
“I’m only thinking about it, not serious”
Some take "intend" as something casual or not strong enough.
Wrong meaning: “I may or may not do it.”❌
Correct meaning: “I have made up my mind to do it.”✅

Dear Royalty, just as singers dedicate time and effort to caring for their voices, you are also expected to take the same care with your voice. Your voice is your most important instrument, and it deserves proper attention and maintenance.

In between, neither overuse your voice nor underuse it. That is, your voice shouldn't be too low or too loud.

IS IT OKAY TO TAP THE MICROPHONE?
NO, IT ISN'T.

YOU SHOULDN’T TAP THE MICROPHONE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE SEVERAL PROBLEMS. HERE'S WHY:

It Can Damage the Microphone

Microphones are sensitive electronic devices. Tapping them hard can ruin their internal components such as the diaphragm.

It Produces Loud, Harsh Noise

The sound of tapping is very loud through the speakers and can shock or irritate your audience and the sound technicians.

It Distracts the Audience

Instead of starting smoothly, tapping creates a jarring moment that can break attention or reverence, especially during worship or a sermon.

It’s Unprofessional

Tapping the mic can make you appear unprepared or untrained in public speaking or church communication.

WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:

Do a sound check before the service.

Speak gently into the mic: Say “Hello” or “Testing” softly.

Signal the sound team if there's an issue.

Remember: A microphone is a tool to help you minister effectively, not a drum. Treat it with care and respect.

In churches or faith-based events, some speakers may sit down during others’ presentations for a few reasons—some respectful, some questionable:

Respectful Reasons:
1. Protocol or schedule: They’ve already spoken or are waiting for their turn. (you can still engage, alright?)
2. Fatigue or health: They may be resting, especially during long programmes.
3. Listening position: Sitting doesn’t always mean disinterest—they may be attentive from their seat.

Questionable Reasons:

1. Pride or comparison: Some speakers feel they’ve “outgrown” learning from others.
2. Disengagement: If they’re on their phones, chatting, or visibly uninterested, it can show disrespect.
3. Lack of humility: Refusing to listen to others contradicts the spirit of fellowship and growth.

It’s more honorable and impactful for speakers—especially in spiritual settings—to show humility and unity by actively listening and participating when others are ministering. It builds respect and sets a godly example.
