“MAMA, WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

While preparing, Danielle was already dressed for the day in her school uniform. Her Mum looked at her and said: “You look beautiful”. Guess what my daughter said? She said, “Mama, what did you say?” When her mum said it, she would repeat the question and add, “Again”. I was indoors and I smiled as I listened to their conversation. […]

DON’T BE A PRISONER OF EXPERIENCE

As I was wrapping up my service year, my uncle’s desire was that I relocate to the United States to pursue my Masters while I also get to grow in Ministry. Great plans. I had to explain that I am called to serve the call of God in Eruwa. I did not know what was on my uncle’s mind until […]

THE PACK OF SUGAR, ANTS AND MY BABY’S LAPS

Danielle stayed with us in the kitchen while we worked. I was lost in gist with Irewamiri when I spotted some tiny ants just around the feet of Danielle. In a second, I noticed that she had placed a pack of sugar on her laps not knowing that it had been invaded by ants. We took the pack of sugar […]

The issues became overwhelming that evening- she poured out her heart and I listened but I did not know when tears began to drop. We eventually resolved the issues while we went ahead to teach some protégés that night. The following day, without hesitation, we raised the issues with our mentor and teacher. He gave a simple counsel that changed […]

IF YOU ARE STARTING OUT SOMETHING NEW (Ministry, Business and others)

My spiritual father taught me something critical especially when it comes to starting out a vision: He said you must pray in the right people and at the same time pray out the wrong person. I learnt later that what the devil cannot stop by opposition or persecution, he tries to stop by infiltration. If he cannot stop the work, […]

HELP DOES NOT MEAN LESS

I began writing actively on social media about six years ago making use of the BlackBerry Messenger. I send to a few friends. Afterwards, I posted on Facebook and broadcast on WhatsApp. A leap, however, came into the broadcast when a son brought in his giftedness to design images that can be used as WhatsApp status. It started crude but […]

“SWALLOW” IN THE MORNING

It did not take long to know the reason why some men add weight after marriage. Irewamiri would give me breakfast and still pack lunch for me. Dinner was still sure. There was just a simple challenge- Our meals in the afternoon were the typical “swallow” meals and soup. It gets cold before I get to eat it. I do […]
