THE SONG THAT SHOCKED US

The almost 2 weeks spent in the hospital was not so much fun. At times tears drop as we saw our daughter go through pains. It was not a lovely sight to behold. She looks into your eyes pleading with tears that the nurses and doctors should stay away. But this is the shock we received. When we got home, […]

DANIELLE’S NEW GREETING

When I first heard it all, I had a great laugh but there was more than that. The conversation goes like: Danielle: Daddy, how are you? Daddy: I am fine Danielle: Are you sure? Daddy: I am sure Danielle: Have you messed? Daddy Laughs Uncontrollably. As funny as it may sound, it teaches me a lesson in going the extra […]

Danielle and “MY DADDY”

Danielle has a unique way of calling me. She would say “my daddy”. When you tickle her, she says “my daddy”. When you are scolding her, she says “my daddy”. When she is crying, she says “my daddy”. One day Irewamiri said to me, “Do you know that name does not change no matter what you are doing to her? […]

THE LIGHTED WINDOW

Those days while growing up, Mum had a special skill of waking us up to do two things- read in the middle of the night and pray at a little before dawn. Whenever she comes to wake us up to read at night, she would point her hand and say look at the window of your friend’s room. Can you […]

WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (4) (MEN THAT BUILD)

When I resumed the call to ministry in Eruwa, I realised that I would need men. The terrain I pastor is not where a lot of people would want to stay back and settle. God answered! Today I am blessed with amazing men. God can give you the gifts of men but it must be your primary assignment to train […]

LESSONS FROM MINISTRY: CONTACTS BUT NO CONNECTIONS

When I sat with my Spiritual Father earlier on in ministry, I told him that in a bid to learn of him, I would attend the monthly ministers seminar. Well! After some few months, my interest began to wane. At a point I was absent for almost more than 6 months stretch. Let me tell you something that will keep […]

WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (2)

ALSO READ WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (1) A young man who finished from the same university as mine came to serve in the community I now pastor. I asked him, “Did you know about me back in school days?” He did not. Then I asked if he knew about a dear friend of mine and he said, “Yes. […]

WHY IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL (1)

(I believe God will have me use these series to help someone come into a season of shift no matter the circumstance around you) The first time I got an invitation to preach as a teenager in a church was in 2007. It was a brilliant outing. I prayed well. I shared with those teenagers in 10 minutes and they […]

DEAR WIFE, YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL

Some time ago, as we drove out to church, I gave my wife the remaining money I had both for offering and a little extra to cover for our weekly expense (it was not adequate). I explained to her that I had no more money on me. She smiled and responded, “You are a blessed man”. My spirit was lifted […]

LOWER BUNK CONVERSATION

I laid on my lower bunk that evening after a rigorous time out at the orientation camp. I had a book on my bed. Then a fellow corps member strolls by and asked whether he could get to read the book. I was seeing him for the first time. I simply replied, “No you cannot”. And then jokingly added, “Buy […]
