“DREDGE THE STREAM”

My spiritual father shared about an experience during the construction of their first church building project. It was a faith project. The land was swampy, and they needed to do some hardcore work on the ground before the building commenced.  At the foundation phase, there was a need to fill the foundation. They began to fill it up, but the […]

BREAKING FREE FROM PORN (1)

At a point, it became very appalling to see explicit clips pop up on my screens. It could be an advert while opening an application or an advert while watching sane content. It could be a clip right after seeing a sermon. I wondered what the matter was, but it finally dawned on me—you market your products to strangers and […]

“DADDY, I CANNOT CARRY IT”

Some months back, I stayed at work till later in the evening. I was expecting Irewamiri to come pick me up. I was calling her, but she did not pick up the call. I was getting worried. Then I called one of the young ladies at home. She said, “Daddy, Mummy just left now. The car got stuck at the […]

HOW “COMMON SENSE” HINDERS FAITH

Some two years into marriage, we really desired to have a Toyota Camry. We prayed about it. One evening, while driving back home, I had an unusual prompt to call a close family member and ask if they wanted to sell their Toyota Camry.  I told myself, “How on earth would they be selling their car? They just finished a […]

WHERE IS THE BREEDING GROUND?

Rats can be very naughty. We started seeing “one rat” in our house. We initially ignored it and made plans to kill it. One day, we saw two different ones, and we concluded that the rats may not be more than three or four inside the house.  We made an assumption. By the time we began to engage actively, we […]

OF INCOMPLETE ORDERS AND YOUR REDEMPTION

One afternoon, Irewamiri and I drove to a restaurant to pick up a meal for the entire family. It was an order in diversity- it had different kinds of meals. We picked up the girls and returned home. When we opened up the package, we realized that our order was incomplete. Some of the fish we paid for were not […]

DO YOU HAVE A VOICE OF CAUTION AND CORRECTION?

I had a doctor who also doubled as a father. One of those days, I was ill and he knew that I would rather take injections for days than swallow one pill. One of those days, he saw that I was struggling even with receiving the injection from the nurse in the treatment room. My dad was there trying to […]

THE FUTURE IS CODED IN YOUR OBEDIENCE 

In September 2006, while praying in the sports complex at Obafemi Awolowo University, the Lord reminded me of an earlier instruction he had given in March. It was to gather young people under the same atmosphere of word and worship led by young people like them. I began to make moves to obey.  As we stepped into Eruwa the night […]

DO NOT HIDE THE SICKNESS

As children, we hated the hospital. Personally, I hated the sight of needles and medicine. Once I sighted the medicine, there were times I would vomit. It nauseated me. But my elder sister had an interesting way of hiding her sickness- she covers with up with excitement. She becomes very active. She wants to take on tasks that she has […]
