My spiritual father taught me something critical especially when it comes to starting out a vision: He said you must pray in the right people and at the same time pray out the wrong person. I learnt later that what the devil cannot stop by opposition or persecution, he tries to stop by infiltration. If he cannot stop the work, […]
I began writing actively on social media about six years ago making use of the BlackBerry Messenger. I send to a few friends. Afterwards, I posted on Facebook and broadcast on WhatsApp. A leap, however, came into the broadcast when a son brought in his giftedness to design images that can be used as WhatsApp status. It started crude but […]
It did not take long to know the reason why some men add weight after marriage. Irewamiri would give me breakfast and still pack lunch for me. Dinner was still sure. There was just a simple challenge- Our meals in the afternoon were the typical “swallow” meals and soup. It gets cold before I get to eat it. I do […]
“You won’t believe what your daughter did”, Irewamiri said. I wondered what a three-month-old baby would have done that needed to be reported. They had both been out of town for about three nights. She said, “The ladies attending to the babies at the meeting tried all they could to get Olive to stop crying. She did not stop until […]
I had reason to correct one of the finest givers to the ministry some time ago. I noticed some slack towards spiritual things. Then that thought came, “If you correct him, he may stop giving”. Do you know that it became a battle to confront? Well, I said to him, “There is one thing I owe you- the truth. If […]
I knew I was already falling in love with my friend. We get closer by the day. We talk daily. I knew her movements and she knew mine. We were already dropping hidden clues of emotional attachment. Phone calls were becoming longer. Our schedules were beginning to “clash” in such a way that we could get to see one another. […]
Olive is just about three months old. I would place her on my knees in a sitting position but before you can say, Jack Robinson, she is already stretching and attempting to stand. I had to say to her, “Olive, learn to sit before you stand”. At that point, I knew that the Lord also impressed it on my heart. […]
The university I attended was a quite groovy one. There were constant events taking place in our amphitheatre. Both A’list and upcoming artistes frequent the school. Most times the events are paid for. There is also the notorious boys of Awo Hall. They were popular for their “creative energy and throwing of verbal jabs”. We call it “Aro” (an exciting […]
Danielle asked for pap in the night. The mum made some pap for her. After about an hour, the mum decided to take the leftover. Suddenly my daughter begins to ask for her pap. Mum was used to seeing her ask for things that she would later waste so mummy ends up eating it so it does not waste. When […]
We have just spent about two minutes at home when Irewamiri burst out: “I don’t think I can go on with this task. It is so demanding especially when you have to work with difficult people. Darling, I am sorry. I may just have to quit”. I sat down on the same spot and kept looking at my wife. I […]
