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 […]
Some few months into starting in ministry, I needed to help a friend speak with someone but I had no airtime. So I messaged my friend the contact of the person instead. I knew once she mentions my name, she would be attended to. She was shocked that I did not have airtime to make a call. “Ah! Do you […]
I woke up that morning with a high spirit. There was joy on my inside. It manifested in singing. I kept singing from the house to the church office. I was the only one left at the time- the person working with the office had requested to go try other things. Then as I opened the door, my heart shook […]
When the ministry office opened, people would come into the office and request to see the lawyer. I had given up the practice of law but the seriousness with which we worked made them think that the ministry office was a law office. I would get to work very early. I did not dress shabbily. At different times, people would […]
