I laid on the floor beside Olive as she made attempts to climb me. Just then, she moved away and began to crawl faster than I had ever seen her crawl in the direction of an attractive object. I called Irewamiri in excitement. I wanted her to see Olive crawling with ease and speed. At that point, the Holy Spirit […]
A dear teacher called me up and told me what he perceived was the will of God about a situation. Some months later, he called to tell me that he was sorry that he was selfish and got it wrong.

Some years back, it was a season of intense pressure. I kept wondering if I was even making any sense. I had just spent the last two hours singing and crying. It was a trip of tears. I cried as I drove. Upon arrival at my base, the first person I saw was a young lady. As I greeted her […]
Some years back, I was visiting with someone I was just getting to know. That evening something happened. She got a call and I knew something was wrong.

I was visiting one of the examination regulatory bodies for secondary schools in Nigeria. While I was in a conversation in one of the offices. My eyes strayed to the notice board. I saw something interesting that I never knew before. There was a notice on the board about candidates who write exams from the prison. I was alarmed. I […]
Mummy has a way of detecting when my elder sister is sick. She is scared of hospitals, injections and drugs. My sister would take on house chores that Mum did not even ask for. She answers questions faster than you ask. She also talks a bit more than normal. This is all in a bid to hide the fact that […]
I went to pick Danielle and her mum after the close of work. On arrival, Danielle came downstairs while Irewamiri was still upstairs. She greeted me and said, “Daddy, I fell down”. I did a pitiful face and told her, “Sorry dear”. The next thing I heard turned on a switch within me. She said to me, “Daddy, come and […]
Mum stepped out. Danielle stepped out also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]
