It was a pretty interesting week. Irewamiri and I had quite some intense disagreements. Amazingly, it was happening at the end of a personal fast. We struggled through it that week. We spoke quite some weighty words to one another. I remember telling her, “I am afraid of you”. She responded that she was tired of me and that I […]
I still remember the exact spot where we were that day. Irewamiri sneezed, and I said to her, “Same to you.” She exploded. “Are there any words of kindness in your diary? What happened to ‘Sorry dear’ or ‘Bless you dear’? What is the meaning of ‘Same to you.’ It is better not to speak at all.” I was in […]
A husband shared about how they were in a meeting, and while everyone else was saying sweet things to their wives, he was actually speaking out of bitterness and making his wife cry. He said, ‘I did not know how to be a husband.’ By the time he shared his testimony, there had already been a significant shift. Some people […]
About two years into our marriage, we were on the way to church on a Sunday morning. I called Irewamiri and handed over to her all I had on me that morning. I said to her, “Darling, this is all I have on me aside from our offering for today. Please let’s use this token to buy some things after […]
I still remember very vividly the woman in labour. I was about ten years old. She kept laying curses on her husband, who was not in the hospital at that time. As a young boy, I was surprised. They were too heavy for my head to process. The matron cautioned her at different times, but when the elderly matron could […]
It was the final class of our pre-marital counseling. Our counselor asked a very important question. He said, “What is one thing that can make you leave your wife?” I smiled and responded without blinking, “Whatever will make Christ leave the church.” The Reverend looked at me with an interesting look and said, “Let us be realistic.” I smiled and […]
Some time ago, we were getting the girls set one morning when Danielle said, “It has been a while since we had devotion in this house. Daddy, why?” I did not know how to respond. I simply said, “We will resume family devotion tomorrow.” The truth was, we had gotten so soaked in activities that made us abandon our routine. […]
A young woman once called me and mentioned that someone asked her to reach out to me. She had a dream three times that she was picking snails. She was told that it meant she would be poor. I told her to do something simple: Go to a restaurant. Order a meal and request a snail instead of the regular […]
My Mum taught me this spiritual lesson with her life: Mum lost her sight many years ago. In the early days of losing her sight, she wanted to sit down in her office. It was a chair with two arms. She felt the arm of the chair to get the right spot, but unfortunately, she forgot to touch the second […]
When we were done talking that day, he said to me, “Thank you for calling me sir. I have been feeling very far, and I do not know what to do about it. This call has made a whole lot of difference.” A relationship is serviced by communication. If you are not intentional with communicating, you will realize that intimacy […]
