We were visiting with a dear sister and friend of ours. It was our first time there. The moment we entered her living room, I looked at her and said, “My sister, this is where you pray”. “Oh Yes!” She replied. The moment we walked in, I knew there was an atmosphere that has been created in that particular room. […]
As we passed by the bridge that was at the border to our town, Irewamiri said, “Wow, the water level has risen”. I responded that “It is because it has been raining”. When it rains, the rivers overflow. Naturally, the rain makes a lot of difference. The rain impacts the soil and causes dry land to become fertile ground. The […]
One of my daughters began the business of making snacks for sales. It was exciting to see her learn to make the snack in a better way. One morning, I was attracted to the doughnut and decided to buy some. I discovered that it was not thoroughly cooked inside. I immediately told her and warned her not to deliver anything […]
I was working inside the house when I heard Irewamiri scolding a young girl. She said to her, “You and these your short skirts”. First I wondered who she was scolding and I thought to step out to see. At that moment, the Holy Spirit asked a question, “Why do you want to see who was wearing the short skirt?” […]
I was working in the library when Olive came to the door and said, “Daddy, Mama is Calling you”. I was almost responding when it occurred to me that Olive was most likely playing with me. I sat back. Olive ran off. Some minutes later, I had reasons to step out of the library so I asked Irewamiri whether she […]
A young man walked up to me after a meeting. He said to me, “Pastor, you have to forgive me”. I was surprised and wondered what he did wrong. He went on to explain some things that had happened that I was not even aware of. When you have known the direction that the Lord would have you take in […]
We were returning from a family trip. Irewamiri had some hot water in a flask for the children’s meal. As we checked in, the officer asked, “Do you have hot water in that flask?” We answered in the affirmative. He pointed out that we should use it for the meal before we go on board. He insisted we show him […]
We were planning for our annual convention. In one of our strategy meetings, I said to the team, “Let us walk mentally through all the events of the convention: pre-convention, in-convention and post-convention matters”. It was mentally stretching but we saw the loopholes in advance. We ended up making very minimal adjustments at execution. We did not have to start […]
When we made up our mind that we would be getting married, we made two important decisions- the first was a question that helped us to engage wisdom. The second was a decision that reduced contention and friction. The question was simple- “Temi and Ronke, if you will be getting married based on what you have now, what will the […]
As I drove on the Lekki-Epe Expressway making my way into Victoria Island, the sounds of the tyre as it romanced the road is still ringing in my head. I knew it would be a bit of a tough night. I was to see my fiancée’s elder brother and his wife. He had constantly shown Irewamiri that he did not […]
