My mother in the faith shared a story with us: One day, she had taken quite some time to clean the living room. She stepped out for a moment to get some other things done. By the time she returned to the living room, her son (who was still a toddler) had scattered all she took time to clean up. […]
Church started when I was still single. I was 25 years old. In those early days, as much as I wanted to obey the Lord passionately, there were questions I could not answer. One day, I went to see a dear teacher in another city. It was a tough season. As I drove back to town, I was crying on […]
In the first year of marriage, Irewamiri and I had some disagreement that evening. I did not know it was going to linger that long. I apologised but she was not having it. She went into another room and stayed quietly there. I went to meet her to calm her again. As I held her hands, she kept pushing me […]
Some few days after marriage, the honeymoon was over and we were back to base. We had our second disagreement. The only thing I knew that evening after returning from work was that I was looking for my wife by my side and I did not see her. By the time I walked to her in the living room, she […]

I finished speaking in a meeting some years ago, the chief host in the meeting happened to be a father-in-the-faith who had spent many years in ministry with an impact globally.

After some sessions of teaching a while back, a lady requested to see me. She said, “I have no more emotions. I have been involved in all sorts- my case is so bad that I have an abortion because I got pregnant for a member of my family”. She recounted all sorts of stories. After she shared all, I emphasized […]
A beloved one came to visit me some years ago. He had just landed his second job. We were both super excited about the possibilities of his life. But I had a prompt to ask him about his tithes and he admitted he was not paying tithes as he used to. I encouraged him to always pay his tithe. (Tithing […]
Some few months after my mum lost the ability to see physically, she was working in the ministry office (She had resigned from her job as a lecturer). She had the course to step out of her office. Upon returning, she wanted to sit. She forgot to exercise the usual caution of feeling for both arms of the chair to […]
My mum shared a funny story with us some years ago. They had gone on vacation with her grandmother. Grandma would always prepare very rich “egusi” soup for them. It was always thick and full of fish.
