I shared the gospel that evening with a young man. After explaining what it meant to be born again, he then asked me, “Does it mean I will stop sleeping with the girls I sleep with now?” I responded in the positive. He said, “That would be very hard. I cannot stop that.” I told him Christ comes with the […]
At a point in my journey, I realized that I would have productive tasks to carry out, but once I pick up my phone, it takes a while before I settle back into focusing on what has to be done. It was getting so bad that my phone became the last thing I pressed at night and the first thing […]
There was a time when I needed to pull back and rest a bit. My body was already showing the signs of ‘I need you to slow down a bit and catch a rest,’ so I decided to take a rest. I made a discovery—the rest of a day or two suddenly dulled my spirit. I noticed I was not […]
My parents told a story about how my brother fell sick as a little boy. It was late in the night in Eruwa when they got a referral to the city of Ibadan. Dad would not take chances to wait till morning. They drove that night for almost two hours to get to the city. Why? Life was at stake. […]
As a secondary (high) school student, the session began with some amazing decisions. I would have new notes, a blue or black pen accompanied by a red one, and a ruler. The goal was to have a neat and complete note. Who was like me? It always started well. I would write the date in the top left corner. I […]
The first time I fell in love, I had some unforgettable moments. I had fallen head over heels. It became so bad that if I was heading to pray and the babe requested a meet-up, I would postpone my prayer time to see her. It was becoming a distraction. One day, while I was praying, I heard the Lord instruct […]
I stole meat from the pot as a young boy. It was quite bad that Mum had to start counting the pieces of meat in the stew. Like a genius, I adopted the slim-fitting pattern. I would take small portions off each chunk rather than steal a whole piece of meat at a go. The pieces of meat in the […]
My Dad would sometimes spend time playing with us as kids. We would always get into mock boxing. It was not the real deal. Dad was a professional (at least in our eyes). He would make a move as though he was going to kick your stomach. As you attempt to cover your stomach, he would attack another part of […]
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 a pretty interesting week. Irewamiri and I had quite some intense disagreements. Amazingly, it was happening at the end of a personal fast. We struggled through it that week. We spoke quite some weighty words to one another. I remember telling her, “I am afraid of you.” She responded that she was tired of me and that I […]
