ARE YOU TRACKABLE? 

In the era just before mobile phones became popular, my mum travelled to see my sister at the university. She returned with great joy and I heard as she shared with my Dad:  Upon arrival at the school, they went to look for her in her hostel. When they announced her name over the Public Address system, another student came […]

“I WAS DOING MY ASSIGNMENT”

I knew when my girls came in from school. They would come into my office and greet me before they went on to do any other thing that they needed to do. But I heard their voice when they arrived but did not see my girls come in to greet me.  About an hour later, Danielle walked to my office. […]

RELATIONSHIPS TO BEWARE OF (3) 

A dear teacher shared the story of a man who got the opportunity to work in the same university and department that he graduated from. He was the best-graduating student in his department and he was offered both a job and an academic scholarship. He got an unusual counsel from one of the professors in his department.  He counselled him […]

RELATIONSHIPS TO BEWARE OF (2)

Some years back, we were in a secondary school get-together. During one of the presentations, a young man and some other folks started laughing. I got angry and told him, “Stop that. These are young ones making an effort.” Recently, he sent me a note saying “thank you” for correcting him that day. He said he did not know why […]

RELATIONSHIPS TO BE CAREFUL OF (1)

I had the reason to visit someone years ago to iron out a matter and remove all iota of doubt and misunderstanding. I was still quite young in the ministry. When I presented my side of an issue, the response I got shocked me. This dear one looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “We saw your good […]

DO A FINAL CHECK  (2)

In a bid to solve the accommodation challenge we had during our major conference for the year, we had to begin to think of options. There was no hotel that we were satisfied with. The one we could manage said they had temporarily shut down.  At that point, I remembered a private house of a relative that we could leverage. […]

DO A FINAL CHECK

We needed a hotel to use for our guests during one of our major meetings. We decided to check out one that we had never used before. We went there some days before the conference to do a random check. We concluded that it may not be the best but we could at least manage it.  However, just before we […]

“WHY SHOULD I BE SLEEPING IN THE MORNING?”

Danielle has a pattern she would wake up very early. There are times that she would wake up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us, “Why should I be sleeping in the morning?” First, […]

LOAD IT ON YOUR PRAISE

We started out the year 2021 with a list of things that we desired to get done as a ministry. It was meant to be a normal year of trusting God for the seemingly normal things. But I developed a habit that year- I would wake up at night and praise the Lord.  The scripture that drove it was: Delight […]

THE DANGER OF “DISTANCE” 

When we were done talking that day, he said to me, “Thank you for calling me sir. I have been feeling very far and I did not know what to do about it. This call has made a whole lot of difference.” A relationship is serviced by communication. If you are not intentional with communicating, you will realise that intimacy […]
