During our waiting season of about two years after marriage, we sought medical counsel. On one occasion, after giving us medical advice, the doctor gave us a form for a follow-up test. After I dropped Irewamiri off at her workplace, I went back to the ministry office. When I opened the envelope, what I saw as the heading of the […]
It was May 2018! We had a conference in view. This took place the very week the conference was meant to start. The power supply was erratic. Our generator was faulty. Food was getting stale in the freezer. We were managing the generator. One Sunday evening, we had to call on the repairer to fix the generator. When he was […]
Aside from taking on the challenge of raising babies, Mum took on another task- she started learning how to type the old-fashioned way (who remembers typewriters). She would type out Sunday School Manuals for the church in the office. She had a desk and armed chair for her comfort. She had mastered the art of using her hands to trace […]
My mum is not someone who backs down from a challenge. She agreed to take care of that baby from a nursing mum during work hours even though she was visually impaired. Another nursing mother walked up to her with the same request. Now the basis is, “Mummy, if you can take care of one, then you can take care […]
When a nursing mother in the church noticed that Mum spends her day in the church office, she approached her with a ‘strange’ request- she wanted to leave her baby with Mum when she goes to work. Mum loves children, but she was bothered about how tough it might be watching over a baby when she could not see. The […]
My mum narrated to us how she took a fast right after she lost her sight. She sought the face of the Lord regarding the situation. The Lord gave her a word: James 1:2-3 NKJVMy brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, [3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Did things change overnight? […]
In March 2018, we were preparing for our Church Anniversary and Word Convention. We had about eighteen thousand in the account, but we had a budget that was ten times in size. I stayed in faith as we awaited the date. But sometimes faith is easy when the deadline still seems far. As the day drew closer, my faith began […]
On the 22nd of November, 2008, our whole family ran into armed robbers on a trip from a family function. We were in two cars and a bus. As the robbers attacked, we heard gunshots from an approaching SUV. We were caught in between. When the shooting was over, we ran into the bus and made attempts to flee. However, […]
I had reasons to interact with the executives of a Christian Youth Organization. One thing led to the other and I got to know that one of the females has a pattern of housing her fiance whenever he comes around. I was in shock. When I asked her questions, she said, “Sir, he comes from far and we do not […]
A young man reached out to me some time ago and said, “You dropped a note for me some years back with the words, ‘Great men make use of the night.’ Sir, that brought a shift in my life.” He backed it up with a Thank You seed. See these verses: Ex. 14:20- “…throughout the NIGHT…”Ex. 14:21- “…all that NIGHT, […]
