SENSITIVITY AND OBEDIENCE CAN PREVENT LOSSES

About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office. I took the cash and […]

HARD TIMES CAN BECOME SPRINGBOARDS

In our secondary school days, we used a Mathematics textbook called the New General Mathematics. It was full of exercises. The unique thing was it had answers on the last pages of the book. The reason for the answers was to confirm if the solution was right or wrong after the student must have practised.  But we had a different […]

EXCITEMENT WITHOUT SENSITIVITY IS DANGEROUS

I was on the wheels about ten years ago returning to Eruwa to catch up with a meeting. I must admit that I was moving faster than usual.  As I was climbing uphill with some speed, I picked a prompt of the Spirit of the Lord. I heard that still small voice saying, “Son, slow down”. I felt it was […]

“WHEN I WAS “TOASTING” YOU, WAS IT STRESSFUL?”

Some time ago, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human […]

HE LOST THE DESIRE FOR DRUGS…

He had spent some of his teenage years living in a Pastor’s house. He felt he was being choked. Once he got the freedom to step out to school, he slid into sex and drugs. He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as a role model. He wanted to look like him no […]

THE RIGHTEOUS MUST BE BOLD ABOUT THEIR VALUES

Two of my dear Protégés had their pre-wedding photoshoot. It was quite a lovely one but something rose in me when and where I saw them having a very intimate and seductive dance during the shoot.  I called them up and said, “What kind of dance is that?” They both said, “And our hearts did not agree with it. We […]

DADDY’S SLAP AND THE BITTER PILLS

We returned from the clinic with quite a huge quantity of drugs. One thing I hated was drugs- just the scent of them will make me vomit. Drugs must be used in sweet drinks (even that is by force) or hidden inside yam flour (amala). As we sat at the table that evening, it was time to use the evening […]

DEAR BELIEVER, BEFORE YOU MAKE CRITICAL CHOICES…

My spiritual father would say to us that one of the most critical decisions that must be settled at the beginning of a vision is discerning the people to join in and those to refuse a placement. He further adds that “The people you don’t pray in are those who trouble you the most”.  The devil tries to wreck a […]

CHANGE THE BATTLEGROUND

My younger daughter would always contend with and pull things out of the hands of her elder sister. I watched them struggle over a balloon one evening.  She took it from her elder sister. Danielle burst into tears while Olive was smiling. Then Danielle did something. She took it back from her. She went to a bookshelf and placed it […]

“SO THERE WAS FRIED RICE IN THE KITCHEN”

It had been a pretty hectic day. It was also a day of fasting and prayer. As we returned home knowing we were already late, I told Irewamiri, “What are we eating tonight seeing we could not prepare our regular fried rice?” She said to me, “What would you love to eat?” I told her anything that would not add […]
