We were to have vigils for a selected team every week in the month. I knew it was going to be demanding. While we contemplated it, I asked my wife if the vigil should hold at home especially because of our children. My wife said to me, “Let us use the church. We do not have to seek the most […]
A dear one visited us once and returned to tell others that, “They are always busy. They do not have time for a lot of play at all. They leave home early and return late most times”. That report changed the opinion that those in ministry are just lazy people who have a lot of time to waste. Friends, greatness […]
I was attending a conference. One of my friends insisted that he was taking me to the convener so I could greet him. When we got to him, he wanted to introduce me to him. The convener said, “I know him. Is he not the one in Eruwa?” Beloved, there is nothing you do that you must take with levity. […]
Early in the morning as we prepared for the day, I called on Danielle to take her bath. She wanted Daddy to start chasing her around and playing. I had to say to her that, “Dear, there is no time. You have to take your bath now”. For Danielle, there was no urgency. For Daddy, a lot was at stake. […]
We were visiting with our dear teachers. They asked, “Does the ministry have any landed property yet?” We replied in the negative. They said to us, “Once you get back, go and look for land”. We returned and commenced a search immediately. We did not just get land in a choice location; we actually got it as a gift. Friends, […]

Mum shared a story recently: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet. She was in shock. She carried me to the bathroom and poured water on me. I jerked to life. She administered pain […]
We noticed for the first time in 2 years that there was a rat in our house. One day, it strayed into our hands around 3 am and we killed it. But the next day, there was another rat. Then we made a discovery, they come in through the floor drain in the bathroom. It was open. We shut the […]
As Irewamiri was feeding Olive, she said to me, “Darling, do you notice something about Olive?” She then continued that, “When Olive is really hungry, she concentrates on her feeding but when she is not, she gets distracted. She wants to see the face attached to every voice that is speaking”. I smiled and told Irewamiri that hunger helps concentration. […]
In the first few months of the ministry, one of my dear friends was about getting married. He called and requested that I join his train for the wedding. I would do it with joy but there was a challenge: At that moment, I knew I could not afford the things needed for the wedding- clothes and all! I was not […]
