Dad wanted to buy a V-boot Mercedes Benz (Station Wagon). He gave the money to someone he believed was trusted who had helped in car deals for others that he knew. We kept waiting for the day the new car would arrive. Unfortunately, it never did. It was such a moment. But I saw Dad and Mum handle the disappointment […]
Few weeks after Dad and Mum dropped me off in the State University I first attended, I fell ill. It was my first time away from their watch and care. It became so terrible in the middle of the night and I was all alone and I had no phone. As the tears dropped, I remember that Dad and Mum […]
When we drove out of that city, my wife said to me, “Thank God for fathers. This is a place to visit regularly. I feel so refreshed” If anyone had said we would be that refreshed in 24 hours, it would have been difficult to believe- we just barely made it through a rough evening! Friends, there must be people […]
She did not tell me this until after she said “Yes” to my proposal: She was always losing her peace whenever she said to herself that she does not want to marry me. I understand it all. Who wants to marry a man who has mouth but no money? Who wants to marry a man who cannot answer questions like, […]
I woke up from sleep that night and all I knew was that two of my roommates were running from room to room chasing themselves and laughing. Well! They were already drunk. They would stand in the middle of the room and laugh. Then they will run again. It was a sight to behold. They even said to themselves, “Do […]
Just after Mum lost her sight, she embarked on a fast, the word she got that season remains a strong point of light for her till date: “Count it all joy when you fall into different trials. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2,3) And then the Lord said to her that, “Oluwafunmike, life will still […]
During courtship, my wife and I were having a disagreement and I was scheduled to preach in two different meetings that were kilometres apart that day. Since I did not succeed in placating her, my heart was heavy. I began to wonder how I would carry through the day. Well! I resorted to praying in the Spirit as I drove. […]
Back then in school, when I got a new note or a new term was just starting, I was super organised- I write the topic for the day and I underline it with red ink. I put in my finest efforts into every line and stroke. But the finesse rarely lasts a month. I begin to write and my notes […]
By the following morning when she stepped out to greet Dad, I spotted a swollen eye and some bruises. (I came in late the previous night) “What happened to Danielle?” I asked “She fell while running from the gate yesterday” Irewamiri replied Guess what! From then, we keep saying to her, “Be careful” or “Don’t run” or “Stop that” or […]
We were visiting with my spiritual father and we had a great time talking over breakfast. He was sharing quite a lot. I even took a notepad to keep notes. Out of courtesy, my dear wife stood to assist in clearing the dishes. Once she stood, Mummy looked at her and said, “Sit down and listen. It is quite rare […]
