A dear sister and friend of mine asked me years ago, “Do you know this pastor?” I did not know the person. She said to me, “Pastor Temi, I think the two of you should be friends”. That was all she said. I thought it was one of those friendly conversations, and I did not take any action about it- […]
We were house-hunting about eight years ago. It had become a need. The Lord just led us to leave our rented house and most of the things in it, including everything in our living room and most of the other things, to those the Lord called alongside to serve with us in Eruwa. We needed a new house. Irewamiri was […]
I wanted to travel for the holidays. I had already told Mum for a while. By her body language, I decoded that she probably did not want me to travel, but she did not say that expressly. I knew my grand-uncle would visit at a particular season. My plan was to return with him. I put up my “very good […]
During my early years, Mum was a regular participant at the Annual Holy Ghost Convention in the city of Ibadan. She would travel to be a part of the meeting. One year, she returned from the meeting and found her three children sick. We were all running a fever. Mum did not sit down and blame herself for leaving us […]
Some years back, once we were to run any major meeting, the pressure of the work rises and before we know what is happening, Irewamiri and I begin to have arguments and tension would build. Matters we communicate about calmly and without stress on a norm become touchy issues. Even when our voices are calm, you can hear the thunder […]
My spiritual father shared about an experience during the construction of their first church building project. It was a faith project. The land was swampy, and they needed to do some hardcore work on the ground before the building commenced. At the foundation phase, there was a need to fill the foundation. They began to fill it up, but the […]
At a point, it became very appalling to see explicit clips pop up on my screens. It could be an advert while opening an application or an advert while watching sane content. It could be a clip right after seeing a sermon. I wondered what the matter was, but it finally dawned on me—you market your products to strangers and […]
Some months back, I stayed at work till later in the evening. I was expecting Irewamiri to come pick me up. I was calling her, but she did not pick up the call. I was getting worried. Then I called one of the young ladies at home. She said, “Daddy, Mummy just left now. The car got stuck at the […]
Some two years into marriage, we really desired to have a Toyota Camry. We prayed about it. One evening, while driving back home, I had an unusual prompt to call a close family member and ask if they wanted to sell their Toyota Camry. I told myself, “How on earth would they be selling their car? They just finished a […]
Rats can be very naughty. We started seeing “one rat” in our house. We initially ignored it and made plans to kill it. One day, we saw two different ones, and we concluded that the rats may not be more than three or four inside the house. We made an assumption. By the time we began to engage actively, we […]
