About two years into our marriage, we were on the way to church on a Sunday morning. I called Irewamiri and handed over to her all I had on me that morning. I said to her, “Darling, this is all I have on me aside from our offering for today. Please let’s use this token to buy some things after […]
I still remember very vividly the woman in labour. I was about ten years old. She kept laying curses on her husband, who was not in the hospital at that time. As a young boy, I was surprised. They were too heavy for my head to process. The matron cautioned her at different times, but when the elderly matron could […]
It was the final class of our pre-marital counseling. Our counselor asked a very important question. He said, “What is one thing that can make you leave your wife?” I smiled and responded without blinking, “Whatever will make Christ leave the church.” The Reverend looked at me with an interesting look and said, “Let us be realistic.” I smiled and […]
Some time ago, we were getting the girls set one morning when Danielle said, “It has been a while since we had devotion in this house. Daddy, why?” I did not know how to respond. I simply said, “We will resume family devotion tomorrow.” The truth was, we had gotten so soaked in activities that made us abandon our routine. […]
A young woman once called me and mentioned that someone asked her to reach out to me. She had a dream three times that she was picking snails. She was told that it meant she would be poor. I told her to do something simple: Go to a restaurant. Order a meal and request a snail instead of the regular […]
My Mum taught me this spiritual lesson with her life: Mum lost her sight many years ago. In the early days of losing her sight, she wanted to sit down in her office. It was a chair with two arms. She felt the arm of the chair to get the right spot, but unfortunately, she forgot to touch the second […]
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 do 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 realize that intimacy […]
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 […]
I was meeting with a couple of proteges, and I focused on those who had left Nigeria for other nations. As we interacted over their spiritual growth, one common trend to all of them was, “Pastor, our prayer life is not as strong as before.” I knew something was not right. It took some weeks, but a statement some people […]
I have lost phones twice. They both happen back-to-back in 2005 and 2006: I boarded a cab heading to Ife from Ibadan. I slept off. I woke up just as the car got to the campus gate. I alighted from the cab and made my way to the campus. As I entered campus, my consciousness was restored. My phone was […]
