After the birth of our first daughter, it did not take up to a month before my wife and I noticed that we were gradually drifting apart. All attention was on our new baby. Irewamiri suddenly had sweet words for Danielle. You hear “my love” or “I love you” a couple of times in a day and I became jealous. […]
That evening when we returned from the engagement ceremony of my Aunt. Mum made an unusual request. She wanted Dad to help her clear her dishes after eating. Dad obliged. Once Dad returned, she told him that she cannot see him again. Her sight was lost. Daddy lifted up his hands and she did not know the number of fingers. […]
It was a trying period. We were gradually coming out of it due to the counsel of teachers. Our emotions have come under severe stress. We looked at the season and the challenges at the time raised a lot of questions. Fortunately, we had a chance to hang out with another couple- our friends. We were vulnerable as we shared […]
Just as I drove to the gate of the estate where we lived, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Go back home and apologize”. I made a U-turn. I returned home and apologized immediately to my wife. Interestingly, I did not even know that she was annoyed until the Spirit of God pointed it out. Friends, no matter how much […]
That Sunday, my wife looked into the congregation as she taught and said to them, “I troubled my husband in the first two years of our marriage”. I smiled at her. I knew what she meant. She told them the truth. Strong marriages are not products of some magical constructions or assumptions; they come out of strong decisions to make […]

All the Ministerial Team was on the road. Just after we gave a call and passed on instructions, I said to […]
We sat in the car that day and he said to me, “Pastor, today I want to apologise. For the past few years, I never saw or accepted you as my pastor. Today, I want to say I am sorry. I am accepting your role as my pastor”. I understood perfectly. And it was not absolutely his fault. For the […]
I attend a monthly ministers seminar with my Spiritual Father. I had occasion to leave earlier that day so I sent him a text very early in the morning apologising that I may exit while he was yet teaching because I had to receive a special guest for our meeting in the church that night. I ended up staying until […]
Throughout the meeting, as my Spiritual Father taught us and led us to pray, I could see that he was a bit tired. He had been on a national tour leading a prayer movement. It was a hectic season. Just before we wrapped up the meeting. I went to fetch my cheque book and wrote him a token. As I […]
I was watching a dear father teach sometimes ago. It was on a YouTube channel. While watching, my wife called that she needed my attention. I did something that shocked me. I said, “I am sorry sir” before I paused the video and went to see my wife. It dawned on me later that I was not even in his […]
