I cannot remember the gathering but I knew that some of the ministers in the church were asked to say a word about their pastor. A beloved one brought back memories when she shared about how I reacted after an accident. After one of our services, they went on a routine trip of dropping folks in a neighbouring town. On […]
In my days as a teenager, we had a woman in the church. She was quite elderly. Every time there was a call for those who would testify, she would always be in front. She could not express herself in English but would always begin every testimony with, “I give thanks to the living God who is not a dead […]
After quite some years of battling eye challenges, we returned home from a family event one evening to some sad news. Just like the blackness in the sky, all seemed to shut down when Mum told Dad she could not see any of us. It was not a fun day. But the next thing my mum did is quite instructive. […]
About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office. I took the cash and […]
In our secondary school days, we used a Mathematics textbook called the New General Mathematics. It was full of exercises. The unique thing was it had answers on the last pages of the book. The reason for the answers was to confirm if the solution was right or wrong after the student must have practised. But we had a different […]
I was on the wheels about ten years ago returning to Eruwa to catch up with a meeting. I must admit that I was moving faster than usual. As I was climbing uphill with some speed, I picked a prompt of the Spirit of the Lord. I heard that still small voice saying, “Son, slow down”. I felt it was […]
Some time ago, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human […]
He had spent some of his teenage years living in a Pastor’s house. He felt he was being choked. Once he got the freedom to step out to school, he slid into sex and drugs. He was getting into gambling. He had seen one of the popular foreign musicians as a role model. He wanted to look like him no […]
Two of my dear Protégés had their pre-wedding photoshoot. It was quite a lovely one but something rose in me when and where I saw them having a very intimate and seductive dance during the shoot. I called them up and said, “What kind of dance is that?” They both said, “And our hearts did not agree with it. We […]
We returned from the clinic with quite a huge quantity of drugs. One thing I hated was drugs- just the scent of them will make me vomit. Drugs must be used in sweet drinks (even that is by force) or hidden inside yam flour (amala). As we sat at the table that evening, it was time to use the evening […]
