EAT THIS ONE; THROW THIS AWAY

Danielle brought a banana to me so I could help her peel it. When I was done peeling, I gave her the peel in one hand and the unwrapped banana in another hand. Then I said to her, “Eat this one. Throw this one away”. One of the assignment of fathers in life is to show the child what to […]

WHEN YOU DON’T HEAR HIS VOICE

I just finished bathing Olive in the morning. While dressing her up for the day, I left her in the room to pick up some things. The moment she was not hearing my voice, she began to react. She knew something was missing. Just then I had the Spirit impress it on my heart, “Do you get comfortable when you […]

HE FOUND A CLUB THAT NIGHT

We resumed a month behind schedule at the Nigeria Law School. We were posted to Kano Campus. We knew we had backlogs to catch up with and a lot of workloads to sort. But one of our colleagues had another plan. Once he offloaded his box, it was full of all manners of fancy shoes. He began to enquire about […]

DADDY… PRAY!

I wanted to take some cornflakes in hot milk. As I settled down to eat, just after taking the first two spoons, my daughter Danielle hit my arm so hard and said: “Daddy, pray!” I was in shock. I prayed immediately and I apologized for forgetting. (Blessing your meal is not just a routine. Do it consciously. Thanksgiving must be […]

WILL YOU STILL BE USABLE?

We ordered for some meat. It was delivered earlier in the day. By the time we got home, we were pretty tired. We left the raw meat in a bowl in the kitchen with the intent to boil it. In a bid to catch a rest, we slept off. I woke up about two hours later and discovered that the […]

“SON, DON’T SKIP IT”

I was reading a Christian literature. I was enjoying it so much that I took the book into the restroom that morning. As I read, I got to a portion of the book that had some quotation of Bible verses. The Bible excerpt was quite long. I skimmed through and skipped it so I could continue reading. The Lord saw […]

TISSUE PAPER? STOP AND CHECK

Danielle’s nose was running. While I attended to other things, I told her to go to her mum to request for tissue paper. She stood up to leave. Midway through to the kitchen, she stopped and turned around to ask, “Daddy, tissue paper?” I responded in the affirmative. At that very moment, it struck me that every man on assignment […]

MINISTRY OF PRETENSE

I knew I could not deceive myself and deceive God at the same time. I had too much on my table and I was not giving due attention to prayer and the word both in private studies and ministerial duties. I had to make a tough decision- I began to reduce some of the legitimate tasks that I gave myself […]

ONE WAY FAVOUR WORKS

A dear friend reached out to me and after exchanging pleasantries, she said that “You just crossed my mind and I wanted to check up on you”. I have learnt not to take such moments as casual. For someone to say, “You came to mind and I decided to check up on you” is a sign of God’s favour. It […]

“MUMMY, I WANT PAP”

When we got in that night, my daughter requested some pap. Her mum went into the kitchen to prepare it. By the time it was ready, Danielle was fast asleep. The real deal is when she woke up the next morning, the first thing she asked for was her pap. It struck me how we can also be like this: […]
