HUNGER, DESPERATION AND WRONG CHOICES

We all sat at lunch. Then I discovered that plantain (my favourite) was missing on the table. As Irewamiri brought the plantain and I rejoiced, our guest said, “I am not taking plantain. I am hungry. If I eat just plantain, I would not be able to eat the rice well”. I said to her, “That’s a lesson- our hunger […]

IT WAS MESSY BUT I LET HER

Olive would always insist that she would eat her meal by herself. She would mess up her entire body and spill some all over the floor while others definitely got into her mouth. There are times that I would feel like feeding her so the entire place can stay clean without having to do the extra work of cleaning up. […]

INVEST IN THE MORNING

We were having a conversation with our covenant friends. We were all enjoying the moment but we began to share about our nature of waking up early to work. We all realized that we love to utilize the early hours of the day. We pray. We meditate. We write. We plan. To have a great morning, there was always a […]

“ANYTHING FOR JESUS”

I invited a worship minister many years ago (even before I started ministry) to my community. As we were about to get into the meeting, knowing how conservative the congregation was, I said to him, “Bro, If you want to get the heart of the people here, you will have to pull off that necklace”. The next thing he said […]

ACCIDENTS WHILE WATCHING ACCIDENTS

I was returning home on a commercial motorcycle. We spotted a truck had derailed on the main road. While I said, “Oh what happened there?”, The rider turned his head and kept looking at the scene. What he did not know was that we were already derailing from our part of the road and was almost running into a car […]

THE TASTE SETS YOU ON YOUR FEET

I had roasted fish on my meal. I invited Olive to have some. She shrugged me away. I went close to her to feed her and she refused. I sat down and kept eating. Afterwards, I went to Danielle and put a chunk of fish in her mouth. Then, I gave another chunk to Irewamiri. Afterwards, Olive began to look […]

THE PATIENT WITH THE GANGRENOUS FOOT

A doctor had to explain to a patient that a gangrenous foot had to be amputated. He told the patient what Jesus said that “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to […]

GIVE YOUR PASTOR REST!

My teacher and mentor shared a story with me: His own mentor just finished teaching a session in the state capital. The host pastor requested that he should drop off the Reverend at a car park. Rather than do that, he volunteered to drive him the whole three hours back to his base. He said some few minutes into the […]

PROTECT THE SEED

We started out a vegetable garden in our compound. Irewamiri did something- she decided to cage all the roaming hens in the compound before planting the seeds. She said, “If I allow them to roam, they will eat up the seed. They will be in the cage until the seeds grow”. You have an assignment to protect the seed especially […]

SO I WOKE UP LATE AGAIN

Just as we about heading to church on Sunday morning, Danielle asked me, “Daddy, we have prayed right?” I said, “Yes we prayed at 5.30 am but you were still sleeping”. The next thing she said shocked me, “So I woke up late again”. I was awed. Her definition of waking up late was missing family devotion. Her awareness stirred […]
