When I walked up to this dear sister of mine to have a brief chat with her, she said to me, “I thought they said you were a proud person”. I was surprised. She said some people told her already that, “I was proud, and she should not bother relating with me”. I guess they chose the wrong words. I […]
A young man went for his medical posting many years ago in a rural community. Vision was formed within him. Later in life, when everyone was choosing city life, he chose to return to the rural community. He built an organization that became a toast of the community and a light of possibilities to the nation. Some years later, there […]
I served in the generation that enjoyed the transition of monthly allowance from less than 10,000 to a little less than 20,000 naira. It was a great joy having that raise. It was also my generation that enjoyed the conduct of the 2011 election and the lovely payout of the time. You need to see the smile on the faces […]
Before I left for service year, I had already begun to discern the call of God for my life. The finest gift I got in camp was a small copy of the New Testament Bible. I carried it everywhere, and I read it every time I had a chance. Once we got out of orientation camp, I began to utilize […]
I was passing by a room in the NCCF (Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship) Family House when I saw a sticker on a door with the inscription, “Insight Bible Church… Empowering People for Excellence”. It stuck with me. I knew there was something different. I knocked on the door of the room and asked, “Please, who goes to this church?” A […]
He came into Eruwa with just one plan- enjoy his life to the fullest in service year. He has already had his portion of a fun life while waiting for service year. His plans were going well until he walked into Night of David. A word came forth- “You are the son of a pastor, and you made up your […]
Every time I look at this beloved one of the Lord, there is an aura of grace and unction that is no longer there. It was a gradual fading away and before long, it was obvious that something was amiss. The missing aura began to reflect in the appearance- a little show of what should be covered! Some grounds had […]
Irewamiri and I struggled for a long time to find that unforced rhythm of cooperation in some areas of our lives, especially when it comes to ministry. I remember episodes where she would say, “Darling, please kindly take on the work of ministry. It seems to be causing quite some disagreements”. It was a touchy area. As much as we […]
We were having a heart-to-heart conversation recently. Irewamiri mentioned that in the early days of marriage whenever she mentioned anything about her dreams, I would make a sound and then grow quiet. I never knew I was behaving that way. She said, “I thought I was over-ambitious”. She began to tone down on her dreams and conversations about them until […]
I learnt this from my pastor during my service year. He shared a story with us one day: He travelled out of town and on his way home, he saw a lovely car. When he got back home, he told his wife, “I will buy you a car”. The wife, knowing their financial state and her husband very well, looked […]
