THE TASTY GOAT MEAT AND THE “NO” OF THE HOLY GHOST

We had a plate of rice with some nicely peppered goat meat. I wanted some more goat meat so I told Irewamiri. I convinced her to give me one more especially that I would be away from home for a while. She raised her eye-brow but could not resist my persuasive skills. As she left the dining table to pick […]

THE LITTLE CHILD AT THE WELL

As we drove to the home where I was having a writing retreat, I saw a little child leaning by a well with a fetcher and he was drawing water from the well. As I stood in awe considering the safety of the child, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “Son, it is never too early to train […]

THE FIRST SONG OLIVE SANG

As Olive stepped into the Bathroom that Sunday Morning, as though to put an icing on the cake that nothing would stop her from making it to church, not even sleep. She got into the bathtub and began to sing: “I love Jesus. I love Jesus. He’s my friend” First, your love for God will always cost you something. Second, […]

OLIVE, DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP?

It was a Sunday morning. Irewamiri had taken care of Danielle. Right after Danielle got dressed, she asked for food. Irewamiri excused herself to take care of Danielle but with a note, “Darling, please, would you help with Olive?” I told her with all joy but there was a challenge: Olive was still sleeping. I knew waking her up would […]

SPRAY EVERYWHERE

We had a challenge with mosquitoes in our home. We get to spray insecticides in the room before we sleep. But we discovered that after a while, at least one or two mosquitoes would find their way into the room. One day, we decided to spray insecticide in all other areas of the house while we were in the room. […]

DON’T MISS YOUR OPEN DOORS

It was a Saturday evening. I was still an undergraduate. I was spending some time with my Aunt. It was the first time I was visiting her family. She said to me, “Temi, we have a 10 minutes section of tits and bits in teens church. I would love you to share something with the teenagers”. I spent virtually the […]

HOW SHE GOT A SCHOLARSHIP

We were in the pastoral council meeting when the issue of a young girl was raised. She needed support for her academics. The key that opened the door for her was simple- She had constantly improved in capacity and character. Almost everyone in the council knew how weak she was academically and is a witness to her academic turnaround. The […]

THE THURSDAY FRIED RICE

Two of my dear ones would always get a steady supply of fried rice from Irewamiri every Thursday. Once she made our meals, she puts them into consideration. They were still bachelors. One relocated while the other got married. One Thursday, Irewamiri said, “Now, no more fried rice. He has outgrown it”. I had a good laugh but learnt a […]

DO YOU WEAR CLOTHES TO CLASS?

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. I was already a bit shocked. Pastor said to her, “I heard you have gained admission into the University now”. She replied in […]

“DADDY, IS IT TIME TO PRAY?”

Danielle has a way of waking up long before dawn. She will likely not sleep back once she sees either Dad or Mum awake. She woke up one morning around 3 am and the first question she asked was, “Daddy, is it time to pray?” She was asking about our family devotion. Friend, what is the first thing that comes […]
