I woke up one morning to a message from someone that he was led to give to the ministry. When he eventually sent the seed, it was timely and it was quite heavy for the season we were in. What a joy it was. Then I made a mistake: Some months afterwards, we needed to get something done. I sent […]
That evening, Irewamiri asked me, “I wanted to confirm from you, why did you tell ___ that story while speaking to so and so?” I quietly explained. There are times that I would buy things (even for her) and after she has appreciated it, “She will ask me, ” My husband, where did you get the money for this?” Especially […]
I slept off while praying and I had a short dream that woke me up. I saw a metal pole with some rusty elements on it. Then it began to rain. After the rain, they came to carry off the pole. On the spot where the pole stood, there was a brown mark on the floor made by the interaction […]
My Dad told us a story: While they were still young and their Dad was doing all he could to get them educated. A concerned friend walked up to his father saying, “Why are you not using your money to build a house instead of using the money to pay for education?” My grandpa’s response was simple- he mentioned the […]
I had the privilege of visiting a dear father in the faith who dedicated a day of the month to teach ministers and impact them prayerfully. The meetings were very impactful. I knelt by his side and said, “Grandpa, thank you for the monthly training. They have been a whole blessing”. His response has stuck with me for years. He […]
He walked up to me after service and said, “Pastor, I want to quit my training as an apprentice”. He went on to mention certain challenges that he was facing. He wanted to quit for those reasons. I smiled and told him, “You are not going to quit. You have what it takes to endure till the end. If you […]
Back in the day, while I was still an undergraduate, I would invite friends to join me in meetings in the land of Eruwa. At times, I was the host. At times, it was in my parent’s church. On one such occasion, I had the honour of hosting a friend. When we got to town, he had a necklace around […]
We had a few days to go; yet there was still a lot to be done on the project site. The next phase needed quite some funds. We had to purchase things for electrical and plumbing accessories. We all prayed and gave thanks before we left the site that night. By the time we returned in the morning, we had […]
I followed my pastor to a church for a Stewards’ Vigil at another church some years ago. My Pastor preached like fire. Till now some of the statements he made still ring out loud in my head: “God is not in the business of maintenance. He keeps making things better. If you cannot make it better. Quit”. He was challenging […]
The only money I had in the office that day was the church offering. It was the first few weeks after church started. I needed to help a friend make a call and I had no airtime. It was hard not to “borrow” from the money. It was also hard not to rationalize and take a little for airtime. My […]
