We love our holidays at Akure. It was one of the high points of the year for us. The ambience of Vining College has not faded a bit. There was, however, a mystery about Grandpa’s wall clock that we needed to solve. Grandpa’s wall clock with its giant pendulum will open up every hour, and a bird will come out […]
I took a walk to the generator house in the church as I prayed in gratitude under my breath. I told God how grateful we were for all He had done for us in His favour. Then like a burst of light, I remembered that we had gadgets that we could not use because of the weight of power required. […]
It was a beautiful morning, but the atmosphere at home was not that beautiful. An issue was taking some emotional toll on both of us. What had not happened in years happened- our voices were getting louder as we tried to communicate our feelings. We were both hurt. I got ready earlier and decided to leave the car for Irewamiri […]
He looked at me that night after we exchanged pleasantries and said, “What do you do?” “I, pastor, sir”, I responded. The next question was, “What is the church’s name?” I replied to him. “Did you start the church?” He queried. “Yes, I did”, I responded. The following statement was not one I was prepared for. He said, “So you […]
My daughter walked out to meet me. I was still concerned that she did not have her slippers on and told her not to step on the ground. The next thing I heard was, “Daddy, I am sorry. I did not intend to break it. I did not know it was there when I stepped on it.” She held on […]
I got a piece of information that was about turning the day upside down. As I ruminated on that information, different thoughts began to go through my mind. I was trying my best to be strong, but it was getting more challenging by the minute. I opened my mouth and began to speak out these words: Devil, I rebuke you. […]
When a young pastor who lives by faith and a young lady who just finished serving the nation decides 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 […]
Earlier in the day as I walked from the living room into the bedroom, I noticed a small eraser on the floor. I had a prompt in my spirit to pick it up and keep it. I told myself “I will pick it up later.” I never did. Later in the evening, Danielle made a mistake in her homework and […]
When my second daughter was a little younger, she would at times wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most time is to carry her right after she […]
Irewamiri said that two days before I asked her out, the Holy Spirit prompted her to write a summary of her service year journey. When she finished writing, she noticed that the difference in her service year began when she became a member of the church and met me also. I love the Holy Spirit. He kept me from asking […]
