The pressure began to build on Saturday night, but I did not notice it- it was a third party issue that was touching the cord of our family bond. By Sunday morning, it was at a head. For the first time in a very long time, our voices were rising beyond the walls of our room. For the first time, […]
We had a bit of a rough start to our marriage. The honey was there but it was laced with some landmine moments. As we argued back and forth on issues, I would ask Irewamiri, “What is the Holy Spirit telling you?” In those days, she would respond with silence. (Most times, I knew the Holy Spirit was prompting me […]
I came back from work in the early days of marriage and my beloved wife had cooked an amazing meal—some lovely vegetables. There was just one challenge—there was fish on it. I rubbished the entire meal with my reaction. I told her straight away that I do not eat that kind of fish, and I assumed she should have been […]
We were heading out that morning when I saw two small plastic-like objects in the car. I wondered what they were. Irewamiri explained that they were from Danielle’s wristwatch. She got a toy-like wristwatch as a birthday gift, and it was already falling apart. Some days later, I spotted the wristwatch under the dining table. Its strap was somewhere else, […]
When we eventually secured the property we had trusted God for, the money we had saved up was not enough to pay for it. The first thing I did was to play music and dance before the Lord. As I danced before him, I told him, “Lord, I desire we pay for the property without touching our savings”. What a […]
We have an annual gathering of Sons and Daughters of my spiritual parents. It is a retreat-like camp meeting. In 2023, while in camp, we received direction about the expansion of the ministry. It birthed the Ibadan work. In 2024, after spending four months in Ibadan with no permanent space, we were back again at the retreat. We got instructions […]
In 2021, the Lord instructed that we should spend about four hours every Monday praying as a church. We called it the “Prayer Stretch”. It was a huge one for us. We obeyed the Lord. One such evening, I honestly did not know when the words dropped out of my mouth; I had said it before I realized it. I […]
I was sitting with a dear teacher in a meeting lounge when she said to my wife and me, “You are both so meek. You make it very easy to teach you.” I sincerely appreciated the compliment and then told her, “I was not always like that, ma. I used to think it was just about being brilliant, and I […]
When the Lord told me that Irewamiri would be my wife, I had my reservations about it. I argued for a while. I explained to the Lord how she was a church member and looked up to me as her pastor. As a matter of fact, she would say to others “I am her Daddy.” I insisted that I was […]
I had travelled out of town for almost two days, running into forty-eight hours. Irewamiri was pregnant with our first baby. Just as I parked the car and stepped into the house, she had an interesting update for me. She kept saying, “See this child,” Apparently, since I left the house, the baby had not been active and kicking as […]
