Some years back, we were in a secondary school get-together. During one of the presentations, a young man and some other folks started laughing. I got angry and told him, “Stop that. These are young ones making an effort.” Recently, he sent me a note saying “thank you” for correcting him that day. He said he did not know why […]
I had the reason to visit someone years ago to iron out a matter and remove all iota of doubt and misunderstanding. I was still quite young in the ministry. When I presented my side of an issue, the response I got shocked me. This dear one looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “We saw your good […]
In a bid to solve the accommodation challenge we had during our major conference for the year, we had to begin to think of options. There was no hotel that we were satisfied with. The one we could manage said they had temporarily shut down. At that point, I remembered a private house of a relative that we could leverage. […]
We needed a hotel to use for our guests during one of our major meetings. We decided to check out one that we had never used before. We went there some days before the conference to do a random check. We concluded that it may not be the best but we could at least manage it. However, just before we […]
Danielle has a pattern she would wake up very early. There are times that she would wake up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us, “Why should I be sleeping in the morning?” First, […]
We started out the year 2021 with a list of things that we desired to get done as a ministry. It was meant to be a normal year of trusting God for the seemingly normal things. But I developed a habit that year- I would wake up at night and praise the Lord. The scripture that drove it was: Delight […]
When we were done talking that day, he said to me, “Thank you for calling me sir. I have been feeling very far and I did not know what to do about it. This call has made a whole lot of difference.” A relationship is serviced by communication. If you are not intentional with communicating, you will realise that intimacy […]
In our former location, we had a neighbour who sold alcohol in a makeshift wooden structure. In the early days of ministry, it was obvious she did not want us as a neighbour. She would put on her grinding machine on a Sunday morning and make really loud noises. There were times she would start cooking and the aroma of […]
My Mum taught me this spiritual lesson with her life: Mum lost her sight many years ago. In the early days of losing her sight, she wanted to sit down in her office. It was a chair with two arms. She felt the arm of the chair to get the right spot but unfortunately, she forgot to touch the second […]
Many years back, I was visiting my uncle and aunt in the city of Lagos. They have amazing children. The youngest daughter was about four years old at the time. One evening, my aunt, her elder sister, and I were having an informal conversation in the girl’s room. My little niece stepped out of the restroom with a towel around […]
