When we took a walk to that community project, we began to assess it. It had been there before I was born. There were no doubts as to what we needed to do- the walls were weak, the structure was already giving way. We pulled down the old. We dug new foundations. We made new pillars and had to connect […]
It was a long night of discussions (well, more like debates). My parents were having tough issues with us- especially the fact that my sister now uses “attachments”. Mum had caught her while she was away from home using it. Well! Wearing trousers too were major issues. It was a night of back and forths. We were now grown kids […]
An elderly one told me a story of how he took his daughter to the clinic. In a bid for the family doctor to put her at ease, he asked her a simple question: “What is your name?” Her answer was not that simple. She went ahead to mention her name attaching that she is a princess and mentioned categorically […]
Just after signing the letter accepting me as a corps member in the organization, she looked up and said, “You will be idle if you just stay around here although we have a good accommodation for you”. Then she continued, “You are a professional. I think you should get to practice in the state capital” And then the warning landed, […]
Just some months before my service year, I told God that it was going to be a year that I spend in communing with Him. I would pray and listen while I build capacity for the things He has laid on my heart. At the same time, I was to trust Him for what He would have me do. I […]
When I got my posting letter, I did not go straight to the Local Government where I had been deployed. I spent the weekend in a familiar place having the best of fun. However, reality struck when I visited my place of personal assignment and I saw the state. I placed a call through to someone and mentioned that I […]
We thank God for what He has done in the past few weeks. One of the most exciting part is the “Holiday Bible School with Uncle Temi”. We had 53 kids in attendance on the last day. 37 of them were Secondary School students. We took a week to teach about The Bible, God, The Grace and Love of God […]
As we drove on, my dear friend spotted my phone. I should not be surprised when he said, “Is this what you use to send out the broadcasts?” I said, “Yes now”. The screen is almost gone with different strokes and lines popping up. I had a good smile. Can I talk to someone who has been through seasons and […]
I had an issue just around the time ministry started. One of the things I had to do was apologize to elderly ones. They are amazing people and I did not want to offend anyone but I knew I had to do the will of God. When I was done stating my position on the isssue, one of them looked […]
I was taking an evening walk while I also took some time out to pray. While walking in the compound of a secondary school, I noticed some new buildings were now there. Well! I walked towards the building to see the inscription on the wall. I wanted to know who donated it. While I stood reading, a young artisan walked […]
