WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU GO FOR?

I heard Olive’s cry and went into the room to pick her up. She smiled but who she wanted was her mum- she definitely wanted to eat. At various times in the middle of the night, Irewamiri would wake up to Olive’s search for food and feed her. I was ruminating on this when the Holy Spirit asked me, “When […]

DON’T TAKE A BREAK

I sat in front of my spiritual father and requested that I would love to learn from him. That was in my second year of ministry. I started out well. But it did not take long before I started making excuses why I could not make the monthly ministers meeting where he teaches us. My visit to him also dropped […]

IF YOU ARE AWAKE, WE ARE AWAKE

We were having a series of prayer vigils. We could not keep the babies at home. At the end of the day, we all spend the night virtually awake. We try to get even Olive to sleep at one of the vigils but she kept smiling at us as though wondering why we desperately need her to sleep. The only […]

GOOD MORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON: THE MIXED GREETINGS OF DANIELLE

Every day Danielle wakes up, she strolls into the living room to greet her mum and I. She goes on her knees and says “Good morning sir” and “Good morning ma”. When she returns from school and steps into my office, she would still say “Good morning sir”. We began to tell her that it should be “Good afternoon”. Now […]

THE “PROPHECY” SHE REJECTED

Before we got married, a “prophet” insinuated that my fiancée would get pregnant before marriage. She did not have to think about it twice. She gave a response right on the spot that it is impossible and it will never happen. The “prophet” was shocked. It never happened. Friends, the primary way that God speaks to us is through His […]

“MAMA, WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

While preparing, Danielle was already dressed for the day in her school uniform. Her Mum looked at her and said: “You look beautiful”. Guess what my daughter said? She said, “Mama, what did you say?” When her mum said it, she would repeat the question and add, “Again”. I was indoors and I smiled as I listened to their conversation. […]

DON’T BE A PRISONER OF EXPERIENCE

As I was wrapping up my service year, my uncle’s desire was that I relocate to the United States to pursue my Masters while I also get to grow in Ministry. Great plans. I had to explain that I am called to serve the call of God in Eruwa. I did not know what was on my uncle’s mind until […]

THE PACK OF SUGAR, ANTS AND MY BABY’S LAPS

Danielle stayed with us in the kitchen while we worked. I was lost in gist with Irewamiri when I spotted some tiny ants just around the feet of Danielle. In a second, I noticed that she had placed a pack of sugar on her laps not knowing that it had been invaded by ants. We took the pack of sugar […]

HOW REACHABLE ARE YOU?

A friend was narrating to her that she had an emergency some days back and sent a text message to some of her friends to kindly stand in the gap for her around 1 am. She then asked her friend, “Why did you not text me also?” The friend told her, “It is difficult to reach you on a normal […]

HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS IN CRITICAL TIMES

At a point in our marital journey, we had to make a decision that will bring a major shift to my wife’s business. It was to be a huge sacrifice. She would have to shut down some things to pick on new roles. I had prayed and known this is what to do. But then when I told her about […]
