That evening, my Dad got a call from one of our neighbours. He asked Dad to come over with a stick to his house. We went over armed with sticks and a good light source. There was no time for pleasantries. He called from his kitchen, “Please come in here”. A snake was hiding under the sink. He knew that […]
About eight years ago, I was preaching in the city of Calabar. I heard the choir take a song that I fell in love with- “Your presence is like Heaven to me”. I wish I had the song, but it lodged in my spirit that day. They sang just before I ministered that night. Shockingly, while praying early the next […]
I was trying to move some things from the bedside study table. As I flipped the cover of my Bible open, I did not realize that my wristwatch was on it. The next thing I heard was the sound of an impact of something hitting the floor. When I checked, it was my wristwatch. My heart skipped a bit. When […]
Anytime the girls are at the table, you will likely hear things like, “I finished before you”, “I finished first” or a line that shows competition. We always emphasize that it is good to finish well not just first. We also told them there was no need for that competition or comparison. We would tell them the importance of being […]
We sat outside enjoying the breeze in the evening and at the same time watched the children play. I saw my girls standing in a corner pouring water from a container to their feet.

We were all standing in front of my parent’s house when Danielle walked up to me with a gentle tap and whispered, “Daddy, I saw a snake”. I was almost in doubt about the way she said it. But I asked where she saw it and took me to the flower bed just in front of the house. Right there […]
One of my beloved families, a dear son and daughter in the faith, became first-time parents, and I was in charge of naming their seed. I was awake, trusting the Lord for a Word to the parents. The naming ceremony was an hour-long service and the Word session was just about fifteen minutes. Early that morning, the Lord spoke to […]
Years ago, I walked up to my pastor after service to exchange greetings with him. At that same moment, a young girl also walked up to him. Pastor did not blink an eye at what she wore. I was already a bit shocked. The pastor said to her, “I heard you have gained admission into the University now”. She replied […]
As that priceless soul sat in front of me that day, I heard those words: “Sir, I feel nothing. I have done a lot of things wrong in my life”. From getting sexually involved with close relatives to having an abortion. She had been through all. I began to talk to her about God’s love, emphasizing that in Christ, her […]
As a teenager and the son of a Pastor, every Sunday evening was dedicated to evangelism. We would normally go from house to house. We went to different parts of town. One evening, the only adult with us was not heading back to church because her house was close by. I and another teenager had to return to church. As […]
