We were having a casual discussion early one morning at home. Irewamiri pointed my attention to something about the ministry. I realised that my attitude was defensive. I walked to her later to ask her, “Darling, I am sorry. I think my response then was defensive. Can you kindly explain to me what you meant with that statement? I would […]
Just some few hours into labour for Olive, Irewamiri began to say, “Are you sure I want to do this?” The pain was changing her stand and testing her resolve. I did not say a word to her. I only listened while I held her intermittently. She went ahead to do it. Beloved, the pains become more when the vision […]
When we returned from our one week break after the wedding, someone complained that there were people who did not get to eat at our wedding. My response was simple, “Can I have a list of those who complained that they did not eat so I can know the list of people to unfriend. Both my wife and I do […]
I had a list of those my wife must meet before we get married (asides my relatives). We made quite some trips. It was tough but it was necessary. At a point, someone told us that we have to reduce our trips but I explained that it was key that my wife met all the people concerned. One of the […]
She felt so terrible. She still could not believe that she actually fornicated. Her mind was troubled. She knew she had to settle it with God. She prayed till she sensed a relief.

I was packing my bags to travel that morning. A young man had been trying to see me. I told him we could see briefly. He came in with all excitement. There is a lady he has spotted and would love to marry. Well! I was excited for him too. But when he went on and on about what roles […]
I had quite some great folks around me when the ministry was about to start. They were amazing people who were giving all they could to ensure that we build a great foundation for the ministry. I had a tough conversation with each one of them. I asked the question, “How far do you want to go with this vision?” […]
Today makes it eight years of Full-Time Ministry in Eruwa: Just after I settled it within me that I was heading to Eruwa for full-time ministry, I was on a public bus when a call came through. It was a friend I met on Facebook and I had not met in person. She asked me, “What are you planning to […]
We were on our way to minister in one of the State Capitals in the South West of Nigeria. We made a brief stop that Sunday Afternoon with our teachers.
