It was our first few weeks into marriage. I cannot particularly remember what led to the misunderstanding (Not sure if there was any in the first place). All I remember was my lovely wife went into the guest room and locked the door from behind- she did not want me close at all. Having no other choice, I picked up […]
When I was done mumbling through my unprepared lines asking her to marry me. Without taking a look at me, she said, “Please, just take me back home”. I had driven her out with the alibi of helping her to mark and record examination scripts but I actually was asking her out. I was not sure whether she was shocked […]
I wonder what was going through the mind of Joseph as they walked him into the prison- “God, is this my dream? This is not what I saw”. As the doors shut down the light from outside, Joseph must have had to draw light from within. What do you do when there is a delay? Make sure you wait for […]
One of the things that a believer must handle wisely is delay. Delays can lead to discouragement and discouragement can lead to bad decisions. So what should I do when there is a delay? First, be sure you are not misinterpreting the season. Moses was on the mount taking instructions for the Israelites. They were right there at the base […]
A dear mother was recuperating. She needed to have some break from the routine of ministry. She went to stay in a new area. In about a month, she had started a children’s Bible club- leading young ones to Christ! She was also already visiting villages in that area sharing the gospel of Christ. One question struck me- What do […]
Recently, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human mind to […]
I had spent a while waiting on the Lord. It was the predetermined day to break the fast. Coincidentally, we had some great meal ordered for the evening already. It was going to be a “wash it down with joy” kind of evening. Just at that moment, I sensed a nudging to wait for another day. The question that the […]
Once we opened ministry office, we would resume daily in the office fully decked- shirts, ties and suit. People would accost some of the staff then and ask, “What do you people even do in that place? We thought it is a church”. They never believed that the church should demand that level of seriousness. If there is anything God […]
We all sat at lunch. Then I discovered that plantain (my favourite) was missing on the table. As Irewamiri brought the plantain and I rejoiced, our guest said, “I am not taking plantain. I am hungry. If I eat just plantain, I would not be able to eat the rice well”. I said to her, “That’s a lesson- our hunger […]
Olive would always insist that she would eat her meal by herself. She would mess up her entire body and spill some all over the floor while others definitely got into her mouth. There are times that I would feel like feeding her so the entire place can stay clean without having to do the extra work of cleaning up. […]
