We were always confident of stepping out to do a thing or two in the compound without allowing my daughter to follow us out. As we shut the door on her, we would say to her, “Darling, just hold on for us. We are just stepping out for a bit”. She would cry and throw tantrums. She would still try […]
Many years ago, an uncle said, “Once it is time for that meeting, I will take care of the transport. You all are blessing lives”. I was already overjoyed. When it was some days to the meeting and I had settled amount with the bus drivers, I called uncle so he could fulfill his promise. The response I got was […]
My younger daughter would always contend with and pull things out of the hands of her elder sister. I watched them struggle over balloon one evening. She took it from her elder sister. Danielle burst into tears while Olive was smiling. Then Danielle did something. She took it back from her. She went to a bookshelf and placed it at […]
Christmas and chicken are like five and six. Everytime Mum is done frying the chicken, the temptation begins. Well! I lost many times. I would bite out of the chicken. But whenever mum discovers, I end up losing on what she would have given me. One of the tactics that the devil deploys in life is to offer to people […]
We were on a family trip some months back. Halfway into the trip, the car developed a fault. We spent about four hours on the roadside. It was not funny. Interestingly, this was right after breaking down a day earlier. All plans had to change. The car over time shows the same fault in spite of several repairs. I made […]
We had cause to camp a group of teenagers. We would wake them up at night to read. The first few days were very difficult for most of them. After a while, they began to adjust. If you will be great and remain great, you must understand that every decision is training for your flesh to either help you succeed […]
I was in a meeting as one of the guest ministers. At a point, the host and the congregation began to pray for all the ministers. When they started praying, I had the prompt to go on my knees but I noticed that I would be the only one if I did. I did not want to be the odd […]
Someone who genuinely cared already said to me, “The best to do is to begin to practice first as a lawyer or pick up a job in Ibadan. You can be going to Eruwa once in a while to organise meetings and outreaches. When the outreach becomes big enough, you can then quit your job to focus on the work […]
There was ongoing construction work in our compound some years back. The bricklayers had moulded some blocks. After it dried, Dad wanted to invite them to stack the blocks pending the time it will be needed. Well! My cousin and I were attracted to the money they will be paid but we underrated the work. We volunteered with the whole […]
There was a season when I thought I had worked a whole lot and I needed to take some rest. However before I knew it, I was already moving from resting to indulgence. Devotion dropped.
