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. They would then walk some steps intentionally. They returned to pour water on their feet again and repeated the process. In my curiosity, I asked them […]
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 […]

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 […]
Some time ago, we were in an appraisal meeting in the ministry- looking circumspectly at the vision and things that have driven it this far. We concluded that there were things we lost because we wanted to copy something else. We concluded that “We must be secure in our model.” One of the things you must pray for in life […]
When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decide to get married, they must understand certain things. The first thing Irewamiri and I told ourselves was that we would save aggressively as we looked toward marriage. The second was a simple principle: Whenever we are out of money, we would […]
We were travelling from Eruwa to Lagos. We had the first delay at the entry point to Abeokuta. We ran into a ditch, and the exhaust pipe got broken. We spent about two hours fixing that. Some minutes after moving, we got into heavy traffic. There was another delay of about an hour or more. One of my dear ones […]
