THE PICTURE I WAS NOT PROUD OF!

I saw an old picture of some of my secondary school colleagues and memories came rushing back. There was something about the picture- even though they were all on their school uniforms, they all wore bathroom slippers. Then I remembered how leaving your sandals and wearing bathroom slippers looked like a thing that “big boys” do back in the days. […]

DO YOU HAVE A GREATER EXCUSE?

My spiritual Father was sharing with us one day and asked us, “How many of you wake up some days at your usual prayer time and you do not feel like standing up from the bed?” As we raised hands, he said “Hope you see my hands are the first to go up?” He then went ahead to charge us […]

IF IT WAS STILL ALIVE…

I was annoyed when I saw the cockroach. I sought for a broom and killed it. I dumped it at the exit door. I had plans to return early in the morning to pick it and up and throw it away. In the morning, it was already invaded by a host of sugar ants. They surrounded it trying to carry […]

I WISHED SHE SAW ME WORKING

It was about 3am when I woke up to study. I noticed some pool of water at a portion of the living room. I went straight to work while I prayed at the same time. While cleaning up, I desired that my wife should walk in and see how amazing her husband is- mopping at 3am. She actually stepped out […]

WHEN FAITH IN GOD IS TESTED

Just before I went to serve the nation, I had options of influencing it but I knew I simply wanted to go wherever I was sent (I had picked a prompt about this and I wanted to follow through). When I got to the orientation camp, I had an option to be posted to a national institution but I refused […]

OF FOOD, MY HEART AND THE REPENTANCE

When I saw the amount of food in the kitchen prepared and I noticed that my wife was also packing to send to one or two others, the flesh in me protested- “We are in tough times. We should ensure that the little we have is for us only. Who knows how long this will last?” I rebuked the thought […]

ASK AS LED NOT AS FELT

It was concluded already that we were going to request for something that we needed. We had set money apart for payment. It was deeply needed. In the place of prayer, the Lord said “Do not ask for it”. It did not make any sense but we obeyed. Some months later, the Lord said, “Ask for it now”. We went […]

GOD SPOKE THROUGH OLIVE

Olive was lying beside me. She had been sleeping for a couple of hours. When she woke up, turned and sat down, the first thing she picked up was her mum’s Bible that was beside her. It did not strike me until the Lord spoke to my heart through that action- “Never stop having a heart like this. Let my […]

“GOD, SEND SOMEONE TO ME”

I was teaching somewhere about 10 years ago and I was inspired to say to them, “Tomorrow morning, you will return with testimonies that you can hear the Lord”. The next day, I met two young girls at the entrance weeping. I asked what happened. One of them mentioned that last night she told God, “God, send me a word […]

“WALK THROUGH” NOT “RUN”

I hated it whenever Dad calls me at night to pick up his Panasonic Radio in his room. The dark corridor between the living room and his room was always a place of dread for me. It became worse when a brother closed to our family died. I would imagine that ghosts would just emerge from the walls and appear […]
