There was a day I came back from a trip and met a beautiful gist. Irewamiri was having a conversation about the boarding house with a guest while the girls were also there. They discussed it generally- its advantages and the challenges. As they shared, my daughter told Irewamiri, “Mummy, how long will I stay with you, that you are […]
I used to be quite lazy as a young boy. At a point, I made up my mind to change. One day, after I had cleared the portion of daily tasks at home, I sat in the living room and watched the television. One of my mum’s staff strolled in and said, “Lazy boy watching TV”. I was offended. Well! […]
Years ago, there was a beloved young one who did not know what it meant to be satisfied. She would eat as much as she could. You would see clearly that her stomach is full, but she was indulging heavily. The parents even laughed over it at times. They believed they had a child who ate well. They said, “She […]
A beloved one said, “My dad never hugged me all his life, not even once, and he did not tell me ‘I love you’ till he passed. It was the other way for us- We ran out when we heard the sound of Daddy’s car. It’s a joyful moment. I know families for whom the sound of Daddy’s arrival was […]
I had to represent my Dad at an event a couple of years ago. When it was time to speak, I was asked to speak on his behalf. One of those in the meeting said, “You have spoken exactly how your Dad would have said it”. When I returned to give Dad an update, he said to me, “Son, you […]
Many years ago, I was told the story of a beloved uncle. He would get drunk almost all the time. When his wife gave birth to their only son, he went on a drinking spree at a bar even though his wife was still being stitched by the doctors in the hospital. What changed his life? He came back one […]
In January 1990, the doctor told my dad that his wife of 10 years had just given up on the operating table, even before the procedure could begin. His response till date remains a testimony of faith and strength. He said, “I did not come here with a dead spouse, and I am not going back to Eruwa with a […]
I still wonder why my Dad consulted us that year. All I remember was that he asked which one he should buy- A Car or a Computer. It was the season when computers were first becoming a thing. It was in the days of diskettes and compact discs. That night, we all told Dad that we could keep using the […]
A man walked into the church office one evening. He came to ask about what we do there. I explained that we are a church. We just started then. We chatted a bit about what the Lord has sent us to do. He prayed and said, “The Lord will help you accomplish the vision”. He walked out and then went […]
As I returned from a moment of prayer that evening, I spotted a young lady to whom the Lord had me say a word. I obeyed. The lady picked a part and vehemently refused the other part, which was about forgiveness. I enquired why it was hard to forgive. She was in a relationship for some years with a guy. […]
