The nurse told my beloved wife, “When you sense a strong urge that feels like you want to defecate, let me know. It means you are ready to push”. Then she left us to attend to other things. Some few minutes later, my wife began to say to me, “I want to defecate”. I called the midwives and they all […]
When we landed in the hospital, the nurse on duty ushered us into the labour room to check the progress of labour. We had been confessing throughout the pregnancy that she dilates fast, fully and delivers with ease. When the nurse checked and mentioned that she was 8cm gone, we simply began to rejoice. Hope was lifted. We looked at […]
Irewamiri had a typical morning routine of getting things set for the school while I had to bath Danielle and get her ready also. As laboured progressed, we had to decide to either abandon everything and focus on labour or just carry on with our morning schedule in the midst of it all- we focused on our morning schedules. She […]
After about 4 hours of being awake, I kept on encouraging Irewamiri as she went through the intermittent pains of labour. I would hold her as the pains heightened. She told me what she wanted me to do to help her through. But then Danielle woke up and noticed something unusual was happening. As we strolled in the compound around […]
Around 2am, Irewamiri came to wake me up with these words, “Baby, I have been labouring for the past 2 hours. I cannot do it by myself. I need you by my side”. Well! Sleep vanished. I did not even know she was not by my side anymore. We began to labour together. Smiles. Birthing your God-given vision is also […]
We were just to stop by with our dear teachers and we planned to spend the entire day before continuing the trip. Some few hours into our stay, we hinted that we would be leaving. They protested and said, “We planned to host you for lunch and dinner”. We knew it was a privilege. We rearranged our schedules immediately. We […]
While I sat on the barber’s chair for a hair cut, I knew deep within me that I was to share the gospel with that young man. But I was afraid. I wanted to just stick to professional conduct. When he was done, I gave him the money for his service and then like a big boy told him to […]
Just as I was called for breakfast, I began to hurry up. As I stepped into the bathroom, the Holy Spirit reminded me that it was the day of the week that I normally separate to wait on God. It felt like an arrow pierced my stomach. The pain was real. The hunger became more intense. Just then I opened […]
I was away from home for a couple of days. On one of the days, I did not get to call my wife early as I would usually do. When I called her, the first thing I said was, “I am sorry I did not call early”. And her response made me fall in love again. She said, “I am […]
I was the youngest in the Pastors meeting. All others had been in ministry for at least 25 years. It was a privilege to be in their midst. One of the nights, there was a prophetic moment. We began to intercede for one another and relay what God would have us say. All the elderly preachers told me the same […]
