She recounted to me that the Spirit of the Lord gave her an assignment that evening. The Lord asked her to write down everything she liked about me and everything she disliked about me. That was quite easy. Things she liked were listed and the ones she did not like were also listed. Top of her dislike was the fact […]
As we drove to the hospital that morning, we both had a silent request that we did not share with one another- we wanted the dilation in labour to be rapid. We had been confessing it for months. Right after the first check, the nurse announced to us, “You are eight centimetres gone”. Even though the baby had not arrived, […]
I had slept off on the couch in Grandpa’s house. Every other person had gone out. Midway through my sleep, someone strolls in.I woke up drowsy. The person said something like, “When Grandpa and Grandma returns, tell them “so and so” has been discharged from the hospital”. I returned to sleep. I never delivered the message. I forgot! By the […]
As a young boy, Dad and Mum stopped by to greet a friend who runs a supermarket on one of our trips out of base. They had amazing children’s toys. There was a particular one that I saw that I began to point to that I wanted. My parents warned me but I cried till it was almost becoming an […]
As we carried on our conversation, even though it was punctured at different times with “I am grateful to God”, it was obvious that my dear one gave more time to building his wealth than he did to building His walk with God.

I still remember where I was standing that day some years back when my Sagem phone rang. The voice on the other end was sober. It was that of a dear brother. He said in hushed tones, “My brother, I have sinned against God and disappointed you”. My heart skipped when he told me how he had impregnated a girl […]
After telling Dad about my call into full-time ministry in Eruwa. He did not say a word on the first night. It was a tough one. The next day Dad said to me, “I thought you were coming home to tell me about your plans to leave the country or at least get a job. I was looking forward to […]
It was difficult to say but I told my lovely wife, “Asides our offering today, this is the last dime on me. Please, let us kindly get some things into the house for food”. God in his miraculous way showed up. Some few hours later, someone sent me a cash gift. It was some good amount. I was overjoyed. While […]
A senior friend and dear brother went to preach in a church. When he was done, one or two people wanted to sow seeds into his life and ministry.
