PATTERNS CAN PROTECT YOU 

While working at night, I walked into the girls’ room and did not find Danielle on the bed. I was not bothered because I knew she would sometimes leave her room to come to ours. We have had to address that a couple of times.  I was going to our room with the passionate corrective heart of a father. I […]

HANDLING STONES IN THE MEAL 

We were enjoying a great meal of rice, beans, plantain, and chicken. While savouring the sumptuous meal, my teeth had an unwelcoming crunch on a stone. I could not swallow the meal nor continue to munch on it. I stopped and walked from the meal to the nearest bin to spill the whole meal in my mouth. But I still […]

SEND PRAYERS AHEAD

I struggled a bit with the prompt that Irewamiri was the woman to marry. By pastoral privilege, she had told me she did not love the “work of ministry” in the strict sense of it. I also learned that she was not yet filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I mean, she did not […]

“GRANDPA’S WALL CLOCK”

We love our holidays at Akure. It was one of the high points of the year for us. The ambience of Vining College has not faded a bit. There was, however, a mystery about Grandpa’s wall clock that we needed to solve. Grandpa’s wall clock with its giant pendulum will open up every hour, and a bird will come out […]

THERE IS MORE YOU CAN BE IF YOU GROW

I took a walk to the generator house in the church as I prayed in gratitude under my breath. I told God how grateful we were for all He had done for us in His favour.  Then like a burst of light, I remembered that we had gadgets that we could not use because of the weight of power required. […]

DISAGREEMENTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE THAT HARD

It was a beautiful morning, but the atmosphere at home was not that beautiful. An issue was taking some emotional toll on both of us. What had not happened in years happened- our voices were getting louder as we tried to communicate our feelings. We were both hurt.  I got ready earlier and decided to leave the car for Irewamiri […]

THE QUESTION I DID NOT ANSWER

He looked at me that night after we exchanged pleasantries and said, “What do you do?” “I, pastor, sir”, I responded. The next question was, “What is the church’s name?” I replied to him. “Did you start the church?” He queried. “Yes, I did”, I responded. The following statement was not one I was prepared for. He said, “So you […]

LORD, GIVE ME A HEART LIKE THIS…!

My daughter walked out to meet me. I was still concerned that she did not have her slippers on and told her not to step on the ground. The next thing I heard was, “Daddy, I am sorry. I did not intend to break it. I did not know it was there when I stepped on it.” She held on […]
