YOU CANNOT DO LIFE ALONE!

I was surprised when I saw that Olive was carried instead of her walking. Looking closely, she had slept off in class. When we got home, she was still sleepy. She attempted to walk but did not find her steps. The most interesting of things then happened: Danielle turned her back towards her and asked her sister to climb on […]

GROW UP BUT REMAIN GOD’S CHILD

Danielle came into our room crying. We wondered what was wrong. She reported that Olive had kicked her in the back. While we were placating her, I asked what she wanted me to do to Olive. She said, “Beat her”. I smiled.  It was not up to five minutes when Olive also appeared at our door. As she tried to […]

THE VALUE OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

My daughter did not get to call me “Daddy” at first. There were times it sounded as though she was even calling me “Temi”. I would say call me daddy but nothing happened. We had cause to visit our friends in Lagos. She heard them call “Daddy”. That was all the change we needed. Everything we were struggling to make […]

HOW TO CULTIVATE SPIRITUAL APPETITE

The first thing Irewamiri said when I got in was, “Can you imagine what just happened?” I had travelled for about 48 hours. She was pregnant with Danielle. She said that for about 24 hours, she did all she could to get the baby to kick and turn like she would normally do, but nothing happened. She sang. She rubbed […]

HOW TO BUILD A HABIT OF PRAYER

While growing up, we had a neighbour who loved dogs. Their dogs became the neighbourhood dogs- it was everyone’s pet. We had Jack, and we had Jill.  Jack had an amazing pattern. A few minutes to 4 pm every weekday, Jack would come to our door and wait- that was the hour my mum would leave for the church to […]

HOW TO BUILD A LIFE THAT STANDS!

We had many memories as children. We were the outdoor generation- no phones, TV stations broadcast from 4 p.m., board games needed a playing mate! It was the “go out and play.” I rolled tyres. I participated in high jump with branches from shrubs around us.  One of the things we did with soft sand was to build “birdhouses.” Our […]

HOW TO TRIUMPH OVER SIN

I was visiting with a young lady I just met. We both had a mutual friend. Of the neighbourhood’s scarcity of friends, finding someone to interact with was a solace.  One such evening, she received a call from whom I later got to know as her boyfriend. It was an uncomfortable call. She burst into tears right afterward.  By impulse, […]

YOU ARE A “DEAD MAN”

While teaching a class of young converts someday, I walked up to the first person and pinched him. He responded as he felt it. I went to another person who now knew what I wanted to do and pretended like he would not respond, but he did.  Then I asked them, “What if I pinched a dead man? Would he […]

“WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO MARRY YOUR BROTHER?”

As that priceless soul sat before me that day, I heard those words: “Sir, I feel nothing. I have done many things wrong in my life”. From getting sexually involved with close relatives to having an abortion. She had been through all. I began to talk to her about God’s love, emphasizing that in Christ, her past is thrown into […]
