When I asked why that person was not married, the response was, “All that happened between my dad and my mum is enough discouragement from getting married”. There was a father who kept affairs while he was married. Two of his own sons also followed his pattern by impregnating ladies as young men. I am sure you have stories of […]
I asked for a paper tape (or plaster) for illustration purposes. I called out three men. I placed the paper tape (plaster) on the first person tightly. After a short while, I began to pull the tape off. You would see the slight pain in the eyes of the first man. It was painful and difficult to detach. We looked […]
It was a stormy season; she had discovered that she was pregnant. It would soon be known by everyone. They would mock this godly sister who used to boldly preach Christ to everyone. It was tough.

“Pastor, we do not think he should be given any role yet in the church after such an act.

I called for another reason, and then he mentioned that he was travelling. It just occurred to me that I should ask for details. When he gave the details, I asked, “Did you think about it deeply?” He paused and asked why. I said, “Take a better look at that decision to travel with a female”. He got the memo. […]
Pastor, I now take a portion of the word daily. I study and take notes. I also get to pray personally. We also do not joke with praying together in my family now. We did not use to do it before. I did not realize how important these simple things are. I have learnt my lessons now. Those were the […]
A prominent minister of the gospel fell into sin- he was caught in the web of adultery and financial impropriety. When his crimes were tried, he was sentenced to serve his term in prison. While in prison, he requested the audience of another minister of the gospel. When they sat to have a conversation, he said to the visiting pastor, […]
I hugged Irewamiri and said to her, “Thank you for pointing that slip out to me. I am really grateful”. She smiled and said, “You gave me permission to do that”. I smiled. What was it I said to her? I told her, “Darling, you see what I do not see. Please always point it out to me when you […]
