When I returned from service year and recounted to my parents that the Lord has called me into ministry full-time, it was initially a quiet drive around town as I narrated my encounters with the Lord. The next day, my dad walked into the room and said to me, “I thought you were coming home to tell us that you […]
The call of God into ministry in the land of Eruwa got clearer during my service year. I had shared with some people I respect and I had been counselled accordingly: “Temi, there is no need of going to Eruwa immediately. You can live in Lagos or Ibadan. You practise as a lawyer or you pick up a job. You […]
During one of our ministry projects, we trusted the Lord for some money. The deadline was in forty-eight hours. I asked the procurement team to get ready after we had prayed about it. I still laid before the Lord that night, committing it all to him. I danced and praised him. The first miracle was that I woke up later […]
As a teenager, I had issues with laziness and procrastination. I would watch plates piled up in the kitchen and it would look like a mountain. I would run away wishing someone else would have done it before I got back. It was always still there. I would pile up clothes for days. There were times that I would pick […]
Irewamiri decided to sew a new garment for our daughter for her third birthday celebration. The moment I announced to Olive that Mummy was sewing a dress for her, her face lit up.

We finished a major meeting some years ago and we had an appraisal meeting of the planning team. In the meeting, a team member began to fire on all cylinders about what went wrong. When he was done, I asked him, “Did anything go right at all?” He said, “Yes! But so and so was not rightly done.” I said […]
Irewamiri and I had questions to ask our dear teacher and mentor about the finances of a young family like ours. He looked at us and said, “In my few years on earth, I have seen some of my friends fail morally, and all of them admitted that they first started by failing financially. Any man who fails to be […]
There are many times that I have attended functions and I had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At […]
As we drove home, Irewamiri said to me, “Darling, I did not collect the money from them. I blessed them and returned it to them”. She was referring to an honorarium she had been given. I was prompted to ask for her reason. Her response taught me a huge lesson. She said, “Darling, I had no money on me. I […]
