A story shared stuck with me from my days in Uyo during my National Youth Service: It was said of a Christian brother who was a businessman and quite blessed. He had an amazing family. Unfortunately, he stood as a guarantor for someone who defaulted on some heavy transactions. He went from wealthy to struggling in weeks. Things went really […]
A few days after our wedding, I walked to the table to eat. Irewamiri had prepared a bowl of ‘swallow’ (I cannot remember which) and soup. What I saw shocked me immediately. I saw a full bowl of soup. It was a deep bowl. I asked her, “Who is this soup for? Is this for just the two of us?”. […]
A while back, we used a home as the place for hosting guest ministers during our convention. We needed a fan to cool down the room. There was a portable air conditioner in the house. We moved it into one of the rooms for use. Unfortunately, when we plugged it in, we started perceiving a smell. When we moved close […]
We had quite a heated atmosphere at home that week. We were trying all we could to make it work. I remember telling Irewamiri that morning, “I am afraid of you. When I see our spiritual parents today, I will raise this matter.” She had her own reply too. She served it hot. I said it in the exact way. […]
By the time I stepped back into the living room, Irewamiri had gone in. I walked in to her, but I realized that the warm atmosphere we had just a few minutes earlier had switched totally. I was getting one-word answers. I was confused. We were just good a while back. It took forty-eight hours to unravel the mystery. […]
One of the toughest conversations I ever had with Irewamiri was at our dining table. She looked at me and said, “I don’t ever see us working together.” I was in shock, but deep within, I was calm. We had issues bonding as a couple. I felt I was doing all I could honestly, but I did not know how. […]
She asked, “Pastor, I do not like his church. I do not agree with the doctrine of the church. What should I do?” I asked her, “What church were you before you got married, and what church are you now?” I was a bit surprised. It was quite a rare switch. I realized why she was struggling. “But did you […]
After I asked out Irewamiri, she had a unique, broad daylight encounter. She was in her room. She seems to have dozed off a bit when she caught a vision: A dear father we both loved walked up to her and said, “I have called you to help my son in what I have sent him to do.” The dear […]
Irewamiri got a Word from the Lord about a particular situation. It was about our family and ministry journey. The Lord would not permit her to tell me, but only pray for me. Guess what, it took four solid years for me to make that same decision. She waited on God for those four trying years. It was a huge […]
Someone reached out and asked me a simple question: My husband and children have relocated. I am the only one left in the country. I have a great job here, and I am not too sure I want to relocate. I have been praying to confirm if the alord would want me to relocate. I have not really heard from […]
