We had the most fun in our neighbours' house- they had bicycles we could ride. They also had the television games and then the handheld Nintendo game. It was every child’s dream to own one. But there was a challenge: Their Dad had rules! We had such rules as you [...]
Read MoreI watched a bit of wrestling matches as a teenager. When two wrestlers are in the ring, the goal is always to weaken and then defeat the opponent. Without weakening the opponent, you cannot defeat him. You would see the wrestlers pin the opponent down while the official counts to [...]

I was heading to take a shower when I spotted a gecko in the bathtub. It was struggling to come out. I knew I got it in a good kill zone. I went to look for a broom. I gave it the first hit and it began to scamper around the tub. It kept trying to get out of the […]
When I was heading for National Service in Akwa-Ibom State, I got connected to a family friend that I had not seen in years. I told him I would call once I get to Akwa-Ibom. When I landed in Akwa-Ibom, I boarded a taxi to camp. I called him from the taxi. Guess what! He was on the same flight […]
I was driving that evening through some of the interesting areas of the city to catch up with an appointment with my spiritual father. The GPS already told me it will take me about an hour to get to him. Just some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space […]
A dear friend and brother asked me about a very challenging issue. I gave him a response that, “Sir, I know why I must never get offended on this matter sir. I am fighting for a generation and I must be aware of that all the time”. A young man wanted to quit a program where he was learning because […]
We got a new marker board for presentations, office meetings and training. But we realised that it was hard to clean once we wrote on it. We would need to put some spirit and then clean. I kept wondering it should not be like that. One day, I noticed that there was a tiny nylon cover all over the board. […]
We went to the church site and met a truckload of sand on the site. We kept wondering who delivered sand to the site. We heard the story later: A truck driver had an order to deliver a particular type of sand to a building site but he loaded the wrong type. He realised it was the wrong sand at […]
My Grandfather in the faith shared a powerful lesson with us once: A dear friend of his visited him regularly in his city. Anytime he comes, they would jointly visit a senior minister of the gospel. After a while, they both noticed that when they visit this minister, they always return discouraged. They never discussed it. One day, as they […]
A dear one had a huge surprise of a massive gift some time ago. The next day, he said to me, “Pastor, I could not sleep. I did not know how to tell people that things changed just in one night”. I smiled. God is a God of surprises. He has surprises in store for you this season. Those who […]
We got home on a Sunday after service and our neighbour upstairs mentioned that there was a snake at their door. As he picked a stick to kill it, it found its way around a TV cable and began to find an escape route. His first strike on it made it drop right to the ground in front of our […]
We had this beautiful see-through curtain that comes in tiny threads somewhere in the house. It separated the living room from the rooms. There was a day Danielle was coming to the living room running with excitement. Her neck got tied in some of the strands and it lacerated her flesh. That was the day we pulled it down and […]
