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 […]
As I was wrapping up my service year, my uncle desired that I relocate to the United States to pursue my Masters Degree while I also get to grow in Ministry. Great plans. I had to explain that I am called to serve the call of God in Eruwa. I did not know what was on my uncle’s mind until […]
I was speaking with a friend and I mentioned for the first time how a seed that was sent some years ago came right on time. My friend responded that: “Thanks for sharing with me. The Lord has been teaching me on faith and responding in faith, so this was timely.” I responded that “When a seed intercepts a need, […]
Years ago, I walked up to my pastor after service to exchange greetings with him. At that same moment, a young girl also walked up to him. Pastor did not blink an eye at what she wore.

Years ago, I still remember where we sat as I shared the gospel of Christ with her that evening. I admired her strength but I noticed her mood swings. I had a prompt to speak to her about Christ. I did but she had a question for me: She called me my nickname back in the days and added, […]
Whenever we need to use the blender in the kitchen, it makes a good grinding sound. Anytime a young boy visits us, he would begin to cry at the sound of the blender. We started locking the doors or getting the boy far away first. Olive also hates the noise. She would go to the kitchen and tell anyone using […]
In our former church location, we had a drinking site right beside the church. Around 7:30 am (WAT) one morning, I got to the office and saw a young man with a bottle of alcohol. I noticed he came with a boy that was about two years old that I suspected to be his son. I got angry in my […]
There was a rod that was on my car some years back. I think it was called ‘the stabilizing rod.’ There would be times I would be driving and would just hear the sound of clanging iron on the coal tar. The rod would give way without notice.
