As we approached the door, Olive reached out and said, “Daddy, let me have the card so I can open it.” She was obviously excited to do it. I requested that she should be given the card. She placed it on the door for the usual scan, and the green light came on. Then she attempted to open the door […]
I asked a young man who plays the keyboard and was leaving Eruwa after his studies to kindly get another person who can also play. Some days later, I had a teenager sitting in my office. He had no plans to stay in Eruwa at all. He was expecting admission to a federal university. He was sure it would happen. […]
A dear son brought a young lady whom he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she lost interest in the young man after the visit. We were wondering what […]
My first time away from home was when I got admitted to a State University in my mid-teen years. One day, I fell ill. Unfortunately, I was the only one around in my flat.

I shared the gospel that evening with a young man. After explaining what it meant to be born again, he then asked me, “Does it mean I will stop sleeping with the girls I sleep with now?” I responded in the positive. He said, “That would be very hard. I cannot stop that.” I told him Christ comes with the […]
At a point in my journey, I realized that I would have productive tasks to carry out, but once I pick up my phone, it takes a while before I settle back into focusing on what has to be done. It was getting so bad that my phone became the last thing I pressed at night and the first thing […]
There was a time when I needed to pull back and rest a bit. My body was already showing the signs of ‘I need you to slow down a bit and catch a rest,’ so I decided to take a rest. I made a discovery—the rest of a day or two suddenly dulled my spirit. I noticed I was not […]
My parents told a story about how my brother fell sick as a little boy. It was late in the night in Eruwa when they got a referral to the city of Ibadan. Dad would not take chances to wait till morning. They drove that night for almost two hours to get to the city. Why? Life was at stake. […]
