When an elderly person heard about my response to the call of God to full-time ministry in Eruwa in the year 2011, the conclusion was that I was just being overzealous. It was tagged “youthful exuberance”. However, I was not the type to make such a hasty conclusion. I knew what I was signing up for. I knew that the […]
A dear mentor told the story of a young man who was resuming for the very first time in their school. He walked into the class, paused for a moment at the front of the classroom, scanned the class and then chose to walk to the back of the class. The new student chose a company that day that wrecked […]
Two of my dear sons in the faith got admission into the University. They came to ask me a very beautiful question, “Sir, what would you do differently if you were to go to the university now? What is your counsel to us?” I gave my counsel to them. They both finished with good grades. They were both spiritually grounded […]
Irewamiri stepped out. Danielle stepped out, also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]
He had spent some of his teenage years living in a Pastor’s house. He felt he was being choked. Once he got the freedom to step out to school, he slid into sex and drugs. He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as a role model. He wanted to look like him, no […]
Danielle has a pattern where she wakes up very early. There are times when she wakes up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us: “Why should I be sleeping in the morning?” First, it […]
We had the most fun in our neighbours’ house- they had bicycles we could ride. They also had the television games and then the handheld Nintendo game. It was every child’s dream to own one. But there was a challenge: Their Dad had rules! We had such rules as you only play games at selected hours during the weekend. If […]
I watched a bit of wrestling matches as a teenager. When two wrestlers are in the ring, the goal is always to weaken and then defeat the opponent. Without weakening the opponent, you cannot defeat him. You would see the wrestlers pin the opponent down while the official counts to three with a tap. As long as the wrestler can […]
During my secondary school days, I had a resumption routine for new sessions. I would get three pens and a ruler. My notes were always extra neat. After writing every topic or subtopic, I would neatly underline it with a red pen. It was always a double line. I would write with all sense of caution, avoiding making any mistakes. […]
As a university student, I was not rooted in any local church or fellowship for almost three years. I would go to a fellowship “as led by the Spirit of the Lord”. I thought I was really spiritual. I would be on my way to the fellowship I would normally attend, and then I would hear a voice saying, “Go […]
