We were returning from a family trip. Irewamiri had some hot water in a flask for the children’s meal. As we checked in, the officer asked, “Do you have hot water in that flask?” We answered in the affirmative. He pointed out that we should use it for the meal before we go on board. He insisted we show him […]
We were planning for our annual convention. In one of our strategy meetings, I said to the team, “Let us walk mentally through all the events of the convention: pre-convention, in-convention and post-convention matters”. It was mentally stretching but we saw the loopholes in advance. We ended up making very minimal adjustments at execution. We did not have to start […]
When we made up our mind that we would be getting married, we made two important decisions- the first was a question that helped us to engage wisdom. The second was a decision that reduced contention and friction. The question was simple- “Temi and Ronke, if you will be getting married based on what you have now, what will the […]
As I drove on the Lekki-Epe Expressway making my way into Victoria Island, the sounds of the tyre as it romanced the road is still ringing in my head. I knew it would be a bit of a tough night. I was to see my fiancée’s elder brother and his wife. He had constantly shown Irewamiri that he did not […]
I sat in the car that cool July 14, 2013 evening. I felt goose pimples all over. I wanted to ask out Irewamiri that evening. I felt I should “shoot my shot” before some other men take the moment. I had never felt more pumped up for a moment like that. As I pondered on this, I sensed a pull […]
As it became clearer that Irewamiri was the one to marry, I began to open up to my close friends. I remember speaking to a friend of mine and I was complaining about the difference in our growth level in spiritual things, her response jolted me: “Pastor T, if you want a ready-made woman, maybe you should go to the […]
After the Lord revealed Irewamiri to me, my mind was still not in agreement. I heeded the prompt of the Lord to spend time in prayer. I would wake up every night and spend time in intercession. The more I prayed for her, the more the signal became clearer. Settle this before you settle down- Your desire should not just […]
That morning, while working at my table in one corner of the church auditorium, the Lord said to me, “Arise, begin to pray for your future wife”. I argued initially because I just stepped out of a relationship some few months earlier. As I began to pray and intercede, I had a flash of my wife cross my mind. She […]
I was visiting a doctor friend at work when I saw a young lady with a fully swollen mouth. My friend said to me that she has a broken jaw. That was even worse. How did she get it? She got in between two people exchanging blows in a bar. First, there is no in-between in the things of the […]
Back then in secondary school, one of the first experiments that we carried out was the use of a concave lens to burn a piece of paper. It amazed all of us. We placed the concave lens in the direction of the rays of the sun while the paper was placed right under it. There will be a tiny glow […]
