OVERCOMING DISTRACTION 2: THE THIEF OF TIME

I stole meat from the pot as a young boy. It was quite bad that Mum had to start counting the pieces of meat in the stew. Like a genius, I adopted the slim-fitting pattern. Rather than steal a whole piece of meat at a go, I would take small portions off each chunk. The pieces of meat in the […]

OVERCOMING DISTRACTION 1: THE DISTRACTED GENERATION

My Dad would at times spend time playing with us as kids. We would always get into mock boxing. It was not the real deal. Dad was a professional (at least in our eyes). He would make a move as though he was going to kick your stomach. As you attempt to cover your stomach, he would attack another part […]

LET IT END WITH YOU

I was walking down the staircase in Fajuyi Hall during my university days. A young man suddenly ran into me from the back forcing me down the stairs. I struggled to maintain a balance. When I got my stability, I turned around and smiled at him asking if he was not injured in any way or if he was fine. […]

NEVER ALLOW STRANGE INTERPRETATIONS

A young woman once called me and mentioned that someone asked her to reach out to me. She had a dream three times that she was picking snails. She was told that it meant she would be poor. I told her to do something simple: Go to a restaurant. Order a meal and request a snail instead of the regular […]

ARE YOU TRACKABLE? 

In the era just before mobile phones became popular, my mum travelled to see my sister at the university. She returned with great joy, and I heard as she shared with my Dad:  Upon arrival at the school, they went to look for her in her hostel. When they announced her name over the Public Address system, another student came […]

THE DIVINE BLUEPRINT FOR A THRIVING MARRIAGE

Sometimes ago, in the early days of our marriage, as I drove to the estate gate where we lived, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Go back home and apologize.” I made a U-turn. I returned home and apologized immediately to my wife. Interestingly, I did not even know that she was annoyed until the Spirit of God pointed it […]

HANDLING HURTS (9): DO NOT ALLOW MISINTERPRETATIONS OF INTENTIONS

Almost ten years ago, I was attending a major conference hosted by my grandfather-in-the-faith. Just after one of the morning sessions, I was finding my way to the carpark. He spotted me while he was walking with some of his guests and he said, “Son, wait to see me”.  It was quite tasking going through protocol to access the waiting […]

HANDLING HURTS (8): BREAK THE CYCLE OF OFFENCE

It was an interesting season in our lives. Challenges with those we loved began to mount pressure on our marriage. We both had the best interest at heart but it just seems not to come out the right way. In the middle of it, we spoke unintended but hurting words to one another. I remember leaving home that day and […]

HANDLINGS HURTS (7): WHEN SIBLINGS HURT

It was just the two of them, but the wedge between them seemed to get bigger. It was fanned by a financial disagreement that lingered just beyond normal. During the season, a near-fatal disaster happened to one of the siblings. A distant relative called and said, “Your brother said that you deserve whatever your eyes see.” Without confirmation, they both […]
