NOT LED BY PRESSURES

I walked into the hall and told my dear brother and friend that I would not be able to wait anymore. I had to sort out an emergency before it was dark. I had the key of my car locked up in it. There was no way I could access the spare key. I was out of town! The moment […]

WHEN I SAW THE EXPIRY DATE

While working late into the night, I noticed there was some biting sensation around my legs. I decided to take action incase it was mosquitoes. I had a repellant cream. I did not want to go in to pick a new one but found an old tube somewhere close. I forced the tiny cream in it out and I applied […]

MY VEST OF FRUITS

As I prayed, the Lord brought to me a picture of a vest I used to have as a young boy. It is a white vest that had images of several fruits and their names on it. It was that vest that made me know Paw-paw as Papaya too. It was a lovely vest. I rocked it while it lasted. […]

HOW I ATE MY RICE

As a young boy, when rice and stew is served and never forgetting the meat, I had a strategic way of eating it. I will begin to eat from the sides- the white rice alone ensuring that the stew on top of the mountain is not touched. After circling and eating out the unmixed rice, I then stir the portion […]

YOUR FATHER DOES NOT SLEEP

While carrying my baby, my spiritual father looked at her and said, “Your father does not sleep”. I had a good smile because he taught me how to stay awake in prayer. While you are still rolling in bed, dear fathers with busier schedules who slept later than you did are already on a prayer walk- they are sold out […]

WHAT GOD TOLD ME IN COURTSHIP

The emotions were there. Like every lover, I wanted to talk to my babe first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Asides the fact that we at times get to have late night calls during the days of free call. No matter how tired I was, I knew talking to her was a priority. At a season, […]

THE STORM IS OVER

That morning when the crisis was beginning to get at me, I sent a message to my Spiritual Father. His response was simple and short: “The storm is over” And indeed, the storm ceased and things began to align. Those who opposed began to support our vision. The exiles returned to the land of Jerusalem in order to rebuild the […]

DADDY REFUSED A “DEAD” WIFE

January 4 1990 is my mum’s unique birthday. She was to undergo eye surgery in an hospital in Ibadan. Just before the procedure commenced, she reacted to anaesthesia. They rushed her to another hospital and kept trying all they could but to no avail. The Ghanaian doctor tried all that was possible and had to tell my Dad that his […]

THRONES AND ALTARS

In my first year in the University, I was in a room that had 11 others legally. We also had those who lived in the room as squatters. We were about 14. On one of such days, a dear room mate paced the aisle in the room talking and disturbing all those who were trying to catch an evening nap. […]

“IF I CAN TEACH YOU TO PRAY… “

That afternoon, the meeting took a different turn- the atmosphere switched. My spiritual father began to declare over us as sons. Then he paused and said to us, “The major thing I need to teach you is to pray. If I can teach you to pray, I can get you to succeed”. The disciples of Christ told Jesus to teach […]
