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. […]
My dad worked in a place where he got free access to drinks. He had some in his fridge even though he was not so much of a fan. There was one “bad day” at work, and he returned home to his fridge. He drank and got drunk. The last thing he remembered was that he went to the bathroom. […]
After the service, I walked up to my pastor to greet him. At the same time, a young lady, most likely a university student, also walked up to him. My pastor asked her, “Do you wear clothes to school at all?” It was a simple question. She said, “Yes, sir. Yes, sir”. If she could appear like that in church, […]
I had a brief stint of about eight months at a State University somewhere in the southwest of Nigeria. It was my first time away from home. I was sixteen years old. In those eight months, I went to church roughly between eight to twelve times. First, I visited home or my Grandparents once a month so I had to […]
We had an interesting question pop up recently while interacting with singles about relationships and marriage. The question was, “What is the big deal with cohabitation? Isn’t cohabiting the reason why marriages fail?” The question is simply suggesting that, “If a man and a woman cohabit (live under the same roof) before marriage, they may be able to know each […]
Some years ago, I was in a place that we normally frequent. I called a beloved one to bring something. Then I added, “Please, do not follow the first turning to the left. Follow the second turning to the left. I will be waiting for you.” It took him longer than usual. I was forced to ask him, “Which turning […]
My earliest memories of being introduced to music were to the likes of Don Moen, Ron Kenoly and others. That was all I knew until I stepped into senior secondary school. Then I came across other forms of music. Nothing prepared me for it. I did not want to be left out of the trends. The ones that appealed to […]
