IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (2)- “MUMMY! DANCE”

After about 4 hours of being awake, I kept on encouraging Irewamiri as she went through the intermittent pains of labour. I would hold her as the pains heightened. She told me what she wanted me to do to help her through. But then Danielle woke up and noticed something unusual was happening. As we strolled in the compound around […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (1)

Around 2am, Irewamiri came to wake me up with these words, “Baby, I have been labouring for the past 2 hours. I cannot do it by myself. I need you by my side”. Well! Sleep vanished. I did not even know she was not by my side anymore. We began to labour together. Smiles. Birthing your God-given vision is also […]

THAT NIGHT CHANGED EVERYTHING

We were just to stop by with our dear teachers and we planned to spend the entire day before continuing the trip. Some few hours into our stay, we hinted that we would be leaving. They protested and said, “We planned to host you for lunch and dinner”. We knew it was a privilege. We rearranged our schedules immediately. We […]

I GAVE HIM MONEY INSTEAD…

Just as I was called for breakfast, I began to hurry up. As I stepped into the bathroom, the Holy Spirit reminded me that it was the day of the week that I normally separate to wait on God. It felt like an arrow pierced my stomach. The pain was real. The hunger became more intense. Just then I opened […]

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES (6)

I was the youngest in the Pastors meeting. All others had been in ministry for at least 25 years. It was a privilege to be in their midst. One of the nights, there was a prophetic moment. We began to intercede for one another and relay what God would have us say. All the elderly preachers told me the same […]

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES (5)

After the birth of our first daughter, it did not take up to a month before my wife and I noticed that we were gradually drifting apart. All attention was on our new baby. Irewamiri suddenly had sweet words for Danielle. You hear “my love” or “I love you” a couple of times in a day and I became jealous. […]

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES (3)

It was a trying period. We were gradually coming out of it due to the counsel of teachers. Our emotions have come under severe stress. We looked at the season and the challenges at the time raised a lot of questions. Fortunately, we had a chance to hang out with another couple- our friends. We were vulnerable as we shared […]
