As we left the home of our beloved grandparents in the faith, my fiance (now my beloved wife) said that she had to answer a simple yet important question while she chatted in the kitchen with Grandma. Out of the blue, it came like a sharp sword: “Has he slept with you?” Irewamiri responded in the negative. Grandma said, “Tell […]
I had an appointment to keep with my grandfather in the faith. It was the early days of ministry and one of my leaders in the ministry went with me. When he arrived, he met us at the lobby of the ministry secretariat. He beckoned, and we walked all the way to his office on the last floor. The young […]
Just before the communion service finished, I had a prompt in my spirit to tell the church that we would be in our new building within the space of a month. We all knew the state of the building. It took some boldness and guts to make such an announcement, but I knew it was the Lord. I made the […]
A group of students in medical school were in one of their practical sessions. The consultant noticed one of his students holding the surgical instruments with such precision and expertise.

As we walked out of the ultrasound scan room with a note of joy in our hands that we were expecting a baby, we walked into my childhood friend who is now a medical doctor.

A few months after I got into full-time ministry, I received a call from a dear brother who wanted me to join his train during his wedding ceremony. It was a role I would have loved to play with all joy. When I considered all it would take, I had to inform him that I would not be able to. […]
I had just returned from speaking at a teenagers’ meeting. I was asked a question that I would never have been able to answer. Fortunately, I was following a series of teachings from a group of sound teachers coordinated by a beloved sister. The answer I gave was from one of the notes she shared. When I returned from the […]
