Some years ago, it was a season when I needed money. I left home to visit an uncle of mine who came into town. While with him, he stepped out for a bit. There was a huge sum of money on his bed. Do you know that strange thoughts began to come to me, “Why don’t you take a little […]
Our very first visit as an intending couple to my Spiritual Parents was a tough time. The first question that my fiancée (as she then was) was asked made us heave a sigh of relief. The question was simple but profound, “Has he slept with you?” She responded in the negative. And the next thing was “Tell us now so […]
I was in my uncle’s house doing some work. I needed something from the church office. I called the office assistant to bring it to me. I gave him another instruction, “Please do not take the first turning to the left that we would normally take. Take the second turning to the left”. It took him a while before he […]
I was still a single Pastor. I was visiting one of my friends in the neighbourhood. It was easier to connect with other young graduates. That evening, her fiance called. The conversation got heated a bit. I guess he was questioning her about where she was, who was with her and the character of the person. We just met some […]
We were travelling through the city of Abeokuta. I had a dear mentor of mine with me and he reminded me of one of the memories I can not forget about the city: I was an active participant in a quiz programme that airs every Sunday on the State Broadcasting Network. I made it to the final of the quiz […]
As we drove home, I asked Irewamiri, “Did you pick the lesson as he shared the testimony?” She said, “Yes I did”. There is a lesson I kept sharing for a while, “You do not fight thoughts with thoughts. You cancel and erase thoughts with words”. Someone dear to me was stuck in traffic and thoughts came to him, “What […]
Some time ago, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human […]
I got some really bad news after we had spent quite some money on a process for the ministry. That afternoon, I took a break from work and drove home. I remember how tears were dropping from my eyes at a point. I stayed in the kitchen with Irewamiri as we discussed. She noticed my tears and said, ” Darling, […]
After I have done the first six months as a church pastor, I sent a mail to my Pastor. He did not get to respond to the mail but graciously we got to see when I visited the city for a meeting. I was already getting excited and becoming proud of the community works we were involved in as a […]
As we stepped out of the morning session for the biggest event of the year in my spiritual grandfather’s ministry, he spotted me while he was heading to his office with some of the guest ministers. He said, “Son, make sure you see me before you leave”. It was a tussle getting into the office area because of all the […]
