THE SOLDIER ANTS TURNED BACK

I stepped out in the morning and l spotted an army of soldier ants some few metres from the house. I knew this would mean trouble if not properly dealt with. I began to look round for what to use. I remembered I had some used engine oil. I reached for it and I poured it as a line of […]

BED WETTING TALES

I had some very interesting bed wetting tales as a young boy. What shall we say to the dreams that tell me I am already in the restroom or that I had run off the football pitch to a bush so I can now ease myself? I only wake up to realise that the restroom was still my bed. Did […]

THE MESS UNDER THE BED

I was home alone that evening and I decided to do some clean up while I prayed in the spirit. While cleaning, I had to lift the mattress in the room so I could replace the bedspread. I caught sight of different things that had found their way under the bed. Some of them were actually useful and some were […]

THE PARABLE OF THE MAN WHO DROVE ME

On the third day of my speaking schedule in the church, I chatted with the young man who had been picking me up every day at the hotel. I was deeply grateful for the great heart of service. I asked what his job was. He was working closely with a top government official of the State. Well! I was humbled […]

THE PARABLE OF THE FRIDGE AND THE DOOR

Someone close to our family was building in the community. He is an indigene but not resident in town. He sent some appliances that would be used to furnish the house he was building. One of them was a giant-sized fridge. It was quite huge. We had to keep it with us before taking it to the house. But there […]

IS THAT HURT WORTH IT?

That day as I began to pray, I did not think twice about it when I began to pray for those who I felt have hurt me also in the past. I prayed the blessing of God upon their lives. At that point, I knew that it was a long-forgotten and won battle of my mind. I cannot edit the […]

WHERE IS MY DADDY?

It was one of those trips away from home. My wife told me that while I was away, in the midst of one of the fun of a children’s programme and presence of many people at that moment, Danielle ran to her and asked, “Where is My Daddy?” Friend, your relationship with God must be a front-burner at all time. […]

SHE SAID “PLANTAIN”

It was the close of day. We were on our way home. Right from the back of the car where she sat, Danielle just said “Plantain”. We realised that it was right at the spot where we would normally stop to buy plantain. She already knew our routine. The desire of every child of God must be to know the […]

I DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK

By the time the cab stopped in front of where I was lodging, the cabman said to me “I know it must have been God that made me pick you this night. My soul is lifted. I am going back a different person” But the irony of it was it took a huge struggle for me to open up my […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (6)

When she gave the first push, the midwives began to encourage her. I kept telling her, “Babe, I am here. You can do this”. When the team lead noticed that she was getting a bit tired after about three pushes. She did something profound- she took my wife’s hands and told her, “Touch your baby’s head. She is here already.
