FAVOUR COMES AS OPEN WINDOWS

Late last year, in the middle of making a major decision about a purchase, I got a unique opportunity – the seller brought down the price by about twenty-five percent. While trying to make a final decision about it, I heard my father in the faith teaching and he said, “Favour comes as open windows and if you do not […]

DO NOT LET THE “MOSQUITO” PERCH (so it does not bite)

I was studying at night when I noticed a mosquito was having a field day around me. Before I knew it, I noticed I had gotten two spots from a bite I did not feel initially- one on my legs and another on my arm. I stood up and looked for the mosquito repellant cream. I rubbed it on myself. […]

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL?

I woke up at night and realised that water had stopped running. The normal thing to do was to get to pump water but there were two challenges: First, there was no power supply. Second, there was no fuel in the generator. We ran out of fuel the previous evening. Night seasons come in life’s journey and you must be […]

INSIST ON SOMETHING BETTER

We travelled out of base and had to lodge in a hotel. The moment we checked into the hotel, I saw some faults in the room. I told Irewamiri that “This does not look like what we paid for”. We made some complaints and we managed the first night. The next day, I refused and asked for something better or […]

“SON, THAT IS NOT A DISADVANTAGE”

The first 4 years of Pastoring in Eruwa came with mixed emotions. Church would grow in numbers and I would be so glad and excited. Energy was high. People were been trained in the ways of the Lord. But then, transition season would come, people we just trained in six months or at most a year would have their stay […]

WATER, BLOOD AND PAINS

I looked at my youngest daughter and said to my wife, “I remember that day in the labour room. I can never forget”. It was a mixture of water, blood and pains. The deep groans that followed the final push is well ingrained in my mind till date. One of the things a believer must constantly be grateful for is […]

I DID NOT KNOW HIM…

I was having an afternoon nap when that name dropped in my heart. I did not know the person but I became restless. I left the hostel and headed to the faculty. I asked my first colleague that I met in the faculty that, “Do you know anyone by so and so name?” I was shocked when he said, “He […]

PAINS MUST NOT STOP THE VISION

I saw Irewamiri endure the pains of breastfeeding each time we had a baby. She had pains but yet had no option. Every time the baby demanded milk, she had to be ready to feed even though it was quite painful for her. Her pains did not stop her from feeding the baby. There were times she was tempted to […]

HARDER EFFORTS CANNOT REPLACE OBEDIENCE (2)

I was speaking with two ladies when the Lord dropped a word in my heart for one of them. I did not know who in particular when I got the word. It was simple: God said, “No matter how much you have invested in the wrong relationship, turn back now”. One of them confided later that she knew she was […]

HARDER EFFORT CANNOT REPLACE OBEDIENCE (1)

We had invested quite some time, money and energy into preparing for the meeting but I noticed we were not making any major headway. I went to seek the face of the Lord. The Lord spoke in clear terms. I walked to the head of the team and explained that the meeting was cancelled by divine instruction.Later that day, the […]
