DEFLATE THE PRESSURE BEFORE IT BUILDS 

When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decides to get married, they must understand certain things. The first thing Irewamiri and I told ourselves was that we would save aggressively as we looked toward marriage.  The second was a simple principle: Whenever we are out of money, we would […]

HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT SAVES YOU FROM STRESS

Earlier in the day as I walked from the living room into the bedroom, I noticed a small eraser on the floor. I had a prompt in my spirit to pick it up and keep it. I told myself “I will pick it up later.” I never did.  Later in the evening, Danielle made a mistake in her homework and […]

STOP DISRUPTING DIVINE PROCESS WITH HUMAN IMPATIENCE

When my second daughter was a little younger, she would at times wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most time is to carry her right after she […]

WHY GOD KEPT ME FROM ASKING HER OUT EARLIER! 

Irewamiri said that two days before I asked her out, the Holy Spirit prompted her to write a summary of her service year journey. When she finished writing, she noticed that the difference in her service year began when she became a member of the church and met me also.  I love the Holy Spirit. He kept me from asking […]

DO NOT HELP THE BURGLAR

As I stood in front of our house some time ago, I noticed that there was an old cutlass close by. It was a very strong one. I told the person with me that “Kindly keep the cutlass away from the entrance”. He wanted some explanation and I said to him, “It would be inappropriate to supply a burglar with […]

THE “JOSEPHS” WILL COME

I started writing devotionals accidentally. I began by sharing a little lesson with some of my friends daily. After a while, a friend suggested that I create a broadcast list instead of sending it one after the other. I did.  About three years after, a young man sent me an image rendition of the devotional. I loved it. My brother […]

PEOPLE YOU MUST NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED (2)

Some days after arrival in the orientation camp for my National Youth Service, I was walking back to the hostel after the fellowship when I spotted a young man. I sensed the Lord was asking me to give him the money I had on me. I did not hesitate. Some weeks later was when I got to know that he […]

PEOPLE YOU MUST NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED (Part 1) 

There were a lot of questions in our hearts as a couple that we needed answers to. We were doing well but there were areas that we just saw that we could do better. They were areas we would rather “allow sleeping dogs to lie.” We let it go for the sake of peace. We stopped pushing to make it […]

YOU CAN DO GREAT THINGS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE 

Last year December (2022), I was at a conference out of town when the Lord gave me instruction to go and raise strong, stable, and stretching disciples. I knew instantly what the Lord was saying (Revelation from God is always a complete communication of His will. When He showed Moses the branch of the tree at the bitter stream, Moses […]

TRIPS THAT HELP INTIMACY 

Anytime Irewamiri and I have to take a road trip, we always had a silent desire to travel alone. There are times it is not possible though. Why? It allows us to talk and bond. We always return to base with our friendship sharpened and deepened. The things we talk about spark fresh flames of passion in our marital union.  […]
