WHEN THE TEACHERS CHANGED

In my second year in the University as an undergraduate, there is a course that it was widely reported that the lecturer in charge was not generous with good grades. The lecturer actually taught us the first semester and the results were not too friendly. However, by the second semester, the lecturer was swapped for another person. First, the course […]

MY STRUGGLE WITH LUST AND THE CALL TO CONSECRATION

As a teenager, in the midst of my struggles for a pure walk, I would stay awake to watch the show called “Midnight Hot” on one of the channels of a Cable TV. I only wanted to see the scantily clothed figures on the screen. I stayed awake to watch! Fleshly desires kept me awake. I mean- I waited for […]

OF EMPTY ENVELOPE AND CHILD-LIKE FAITH

My daughter walked into our room with a white envelope in her hands. She opened it and I knew it was empty. But then, she dipped her hands into the empty envelope and stretched her hands towards me.

THE BLESSING OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE

I was having an in-between session chat with some other ministers during a conference when one of my friends said, “All I wish I can take from you are your men. Give me those men of yours”. We had a good laugh but it was a way of giving a compliment to the amazing commitment of men working in the […]

OF HEIGHTS AND OPEN DOORS

We were always confident of stepping out to do a thing or two in the compound without allowing my daughter to follow us out. As we shut the door on her, we would say to her, “Darling, just hold on for us. We are just stepping out for a bit”. She would cry and throw tantrums. She would still try […]

LESSONS FROM DISAPPOINTMENT

Many years ago, an uncle said, “Once it is time for that meeting, I will take care of the transport. You all are blessing lives”. I was already overjoyed. When it was some days to the meeting and I had settled amount with the bus drivers, I called uncle so he could fulfill his promise. The response I got was […]
