I just finished bathing Olive in the morning. While dressing her up for the day, I left her in the room to pick up some things. The moment she was not hearing my voice, she began to react. She knew something was missing. Just then I had the Spirit impress it on my heart, “Do you get comfortable when you […]
We resumed a month behind schedule at the Nigeria Law School. We were posted to Kano Campus. We knew we had backlogs to catch up with and a lot of workloads to sort. But one of our colleagues had another plan. Once he offloaded his box, it was full of all manners of fancy shoes. He began to enquire about […]
I wanted to take some cornflakes in hot milk. As I settled down to eat, just after taking the first two spoons, my daughter Danielle hit my arm so hard and said: “Daddy, pray!” I was in shock. I prayed immediately and I apologized for forgetting. (Blessing your meal is not just a routine. Do it consciously. Thanksgiving must be […]
We ordered for some meat. It was delivered earlier in the day. By the time we got home, we were pretty tired. We left the raw meat in a bowl in the kitchen with the intent to boil it. In a bid to catch a rest, we slept off. I woke up about two hours later and discovered that the […]
I was reading a Christian literature. I was enjoying it so much that I took the book into the restroom that morning. As I read, I got to a portion of the book that had some quotation of Bible verses. The Bible excerpt was quite long. I skimmed through and skipped it so I could continue reading. The Lord saw […]
Danielle’s nose was running. While I attended to other things, I told her to go to her mum to request for tissue paper. She stood up to leave. Midway through to the kitchen, she stopped and turned around to ask, “Daddy, tissue paper?” I responded in the affirmative. At that very moment, it struck me that every man on assignment […]
I knew I could not deceive myself and deceive God at the same time. I had too much on my table and I was not giving due attention to prayer and the word both in private studies and ministerial duties. I had to make a tough decision- I began to reduce some of the legitimate tasks that I gave myself […]
A dear friend reached out to me and after exchanging pleasantries, she said that “You just crossed my mind and I wanted to check up on you”. I have learnt not to take such moments as casual. For someone to say, “You came to mind and I decided to check up on you” is a sign of God’s favour. It […]
When we got in that night, my daughter requested some pap. Her mum went into the kitchen to prepare it. By the time it was ready, Danielle was fast asleep. The real deal is when she woke up the next morning, the first thing she asked for was her pap. It struck me how we can also be like this: […]
I heard Olive’s cry and went into the room to pick her up. She smiled but who she wanted was her mum- she definitely wanted to eat. At various times in the middle of the night, Irewamiri would wake up to Olive’s search for food and feed her. I was ruminating on this when the Holy Spirit asked me, “When […]
