Olive was going through one of the tough transitional moments in childhood- teething. She was calm all day. She would rarely smile. I told Irewamiri that I would spend the evening playing with Olive. I had a good teammate in Danielle. We made sounds, danced and made gestures. Olive was forced to laugh hard, play with us and return our […]
As I stepped out of the bus that evening, I was beaming with smiles as I began the stroll to our house. I smiled the whole trip because I was reading and replying text messages from my lover who just said Yes to me. A voice calling my name broke into the realm of my excitement and day-dream- it was […]
My dear teacher shared a story with us once: They were thanking God for the new baby they had and in the midst of the thanksgiving, they were saying to God that it was their last baby. God asked them a simple question: “Did you ask me?” The Lord said to them, “For you will still have another baby and […]
I had a gift of something I had really needed but I felt a prompt to give it to someone who needed it more. However, I was waiting to see whether a new one I was expecting would be a better type so I could choose the better and give out the lesser. The Lord spoke to my heart that […]
Irewamiri shared a testimony about how her mind was besieged during the pregnancy of our second baby. It was so bad that images of death would flash at her. She practically fought depression. For months, it was a siege. One of the things the Lord did was to place other images of victory and templates that it was possible to […]
There was a time that our house (my parents’ house) was in invaded by rats. We would kill rats almost every night. There were slow rats, fat rats and even one flying rat. You were trying to hit it on the chair but it has found its way to the window- it could spring up so fast and with ease. […]
One of my dear sisters on this journey said to me, “I love your appetite for knowledge” when she discovered that I travel monthly to attend the Ministers Seminar in my Spiritual Father’s Church. But for me, it was more than going after knowledge- I just knew that there are people that I must not feel like I have outgrown […]
For many years in ministry, I was the only one who worked in the ministry office. I was gifted but I was alone. Those who joined the work were only there for some time. Just one day of sitting with my spiritual father and receiving instructions changed the story and turned it all around. I did as instructed and three […]
The day she shared the testimony of how she ended up in church, I learnt a major lesson. She mentioned that she was impressed when she saw the way I would greet everyone that I see before I enter the church office- it does not matter who they were or what they were doing. She ended up in church and […]
I remember my folly when I boasted as a university student that, “If I ever get to pastor, in few months, I will build a mighty congregation even in a place like Eruwa”. I came into ministry with that mindset thinking it is the gift that will do the work. It did not take me long to realise something powerful- […]
