A few months before marriage, while sitting at the table with our grandfather in the faith, he looked at us and said, “God is not an author of confusion. Nothing must come between your wife and yourself, not even the calling. God cannot call you to Eruwa and send your wife to England. That is not his way of doing […]
Irewamiri made an amazing meal. I sat at the table and enjoyed the meal. Then, I asked for another helping, especially for the well-spiced meat. The moment she set it before me, I had a prompt not to eat it, but I did. The meal was too sweet to ignore. I could not wake up at the right time that […]
About two years into ministry, I was teaching in a midweek service. I made a reference in scriptures about the women who showed Saul the way to Prophet Samuel’s house and the volume of words that was used. A young man in church said, “They are all like that.” Without thinking twice, I clapped back, asking, “Does that include your […]
Some years ago, while still living with my parents, I was looking for the car key one morning. After a long search, I saw that I had locked it in the car. I walked to my Dad, explained to him, and he gave me the spare key, but not without a warning not to be careless. I apologized. But like […]
A father in the faith shared about how the church he pastored was not growing. He was concerned. He called for a retreat, and they prayed.

As we approached the door, Olive reached out and said, “Daddy, let me have the card so I can open it.” She was obviously excited to do it. I requested that she should be given the card. She placed it on the door for the usual scan, and the green light came on. Then she attempted to open the door […]
I asked a young man who plays the keyboard and was leaving Eruwa after his studies to kindly get another person who can also play. Some days later, I had a teenager sitting in my office. He had no plans to stay in Eruwa at all. He was expecting admission to a federal university. He was sure it would happen. […]
A dear son brought a young lady whom he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she lost interest in the young man after the visit. We were wondering what […]
My first time away from home was when I got admitted to a State University in my mid-teen years. One day, I fell ill. Unfortunately, I was the only one around in my flat. As my temperature rose, I got scared. It was late in the night. But I remembered how my Mum never permitted sickness under her nose. There […]
