There was a brother who vowed that he would never repeat his father’s mistakes. He hated his father for his terrible attitude- the man beats his wife. He vowed that it would never happen to him. At a point, he was encouraged to forgive his father, but he found it difficult. He could not. Some years later, as a married […]
A dear teacher shared about how he loved visiting his uncle and his wife as a young man. He made it a priority to always visit them. Why? There was love, joy and peace in their home. There was something different about their marriage. It was different from his parents’ marriage, where the voices were either loud or totally silent. […]
I had reasons to interact with the executives of a Christian Youth Organization. One thing led to the other, and I learned that one of the females has a pattern of housing her fiancé whenever he comes around. I was in shock. When I asked her questions, she said, “Sir, he comes from far and we do not do anything […]
When the Lord told me that I would be heading to Eruwa for ministry, I prepared a simple document of my journey from 2006 till 2011, when I was to respond to the call of God. I had an update on everything he had continuously said about the ministry with time stamps on each of them. A dear aunt who […]
A dear sister and friend of mine asked me years ago, “Do you know this pastor?” I did not know the person. She said to me, “Pastor Temi, I think the two of you should be friends”. That was all she said. I thought it was one of those friendly conversations, and I did not take any action about it- […]
We were house-hunting about eight years ago. It had become a need. The Lord just led us to leave our rented house and most of the things in it, including everything in our living room and most of the other things, to those the Lord called alongside to serve with us in Eruwa. We needed a new house. Irewamiri was […]
I wanted to travel for the holidays. I had already told Mum for a while. By her body language, I decoded that she probably did not want me to travel, but she did not say that expressly. I knew my grand-uncle would visit at a particular season. My plan was to return with him. I put up my “very good […]
During my early years, Mum was a regular participant at the Annual Holy Ghost Convention in the city of Ibadan. She would travel to be a part of the meeting. One year, she returned from the meeting and found her three children sick. We were all running a fever. Mum did not sit down and blame herself for leaving us […]
Some years back, once we were to run any major meeting, the pressure of the work rises and before we know what is happening, Irewamiri and I begin to have arguments and tension would build. Matters we communicate about calmly and without stress on a norm become touchy issues. Even when our voices are calm, you can hear the thunder […]
My spiritual father shared about an experience during the construction of their first church building project. It was a faith project. The land was swampy, and they needed to do some hardcore work on the ground before the building commenced. At the foundation phase, there was a need to fill the foundation. They began to fill it up, but the […]
