We enjoyed riding bicycles as children. Our neighbours had two different sizes. We would all converge and have some fun cycling. One evening, it had just finished raining, and we were cycling on the long corridor of their home. It was fun circling the pillars and showcasing skill. When it was the turn of a dear brother, he had bread […]
I grew up seeing the changes in the world of technology. I saw the diskettes, some of the “big box” visual display units. I saw how these things began to change right before us. As a young boy, I was visiting with an uncle during that era. He had a computer and internet linked to it. When I got the […]
There was a standing rule by the Dad of our childhood friends – no games on weekdays. Another standing rule was that “You read till noon on Saturdays before you can have access to games.” They had the highest number of childhood games in the neighbourhood- TV games, Handheld Games (Nintendo), Board Games, and even bicycles. How do you want […]
After I had done the first six months as a church pastor, I sent a mail to my Pastor. He did not respond to the mail, but graciously, we got to see when I visited the city for a meeting. I was already getting excited and becoming proud of the community work we were involved in as a young church […]
As we stepped out of the morning session for the biggest event of the year in my spiritual grandfather’s ministry, he spotted me while heading to his office with some of the guest ministers. He said, “Son, make sure you see me before you leave.” It was a tussle getting into the office area because of all the heavy protocol, […]
A few months into starting in ministry, I needed to help a friend speak with someone, but I had no airtime. So I messaged my friend the contact of the person instead. I knew she would be attended to once she mentioned my name. She was shocked that I did not have airtime to make a call. “Ah! Do you […]
As we drove away from the place of the interview, I told Irewamiri that the singular most essential ingredient for a great marriage is training. Once the Lord revealed to me that Irewamiri was the woman to marry, I knew I had to seek the counsel of my Spiritual Father. I sought an appointment with him. When I eventually saw […]
As we discussed a matter, Irewamiri said, “Darling, such matters do not spring up suddenly. They must have been fornicating as singles”. She was right! Most marriages that struggle with infidelity struggled earlier with self-control in courtship. You should be physically attracted to one another and with a desire to sleep with one another- that is part of God’s plan […]
There was a Sunday afternoon that issues just began to brew. Irewamiri and I did not seem to find our sync and rhythm. She even strolled from the house for some hours. We would normally resolve all matters, no matter what, before going to bed. That night, I pranked her, but it solved the matter. I told her that our […]
Irewamiri and I were in a conversation about the early days of marriage. She said, “In the early days of marriage, I used to wonder if I was in bondage. I could barely do anything or go anywhere by myself. You would always find a way to oppose my decisions”. I told her, “I was only being caring. My intent […]
