PROTECT THE SEED

We started out a vegetable garden in our compound. Irewamiri did something- she decided to cage all the roaming hens in the compound before planting the seeds. She said, “If I allow them to roam, they will eat up the seed. They will be in the cage until the seeds grow”. You have an assignment to protect the seed especially […]

SO I WOKE UP LATE AGAIN

Just as we about heading to church on Sunday morning, Danielle asked me, “Daddy, we have prayed right?” I said, “Yes we prayed at 5.30 am but you were still sleeping”. The next thing she said shocked me, “So I woke up late again”. I was awed. Her definition of waking up late was missing family devotion. Her awareness stirred […]

FELLOWSHIP REDUCES ARGUMENTS

I called Irewamiri from work and requested that she picked me up that evening but I also had a plan- we had been having slight misunderstanding over issues that were not meant to be issues. I got some suya (specially prepared peppered meat) and she brought the drink. We took out just about thirty minutes. We ate together. We spoke […]

HUNGER CHASES SLEEP AWAY

Olive would let out a quiet cry at night when she is hungry. If you refuse to answer, the cry begins to intensify. But one thing you can be sure of is that hunger will make her restless and sleep disappears from her and definitely from us. She only gets back to sleep when hunger is satisfied. How hungry are […]

DADDY, YOU ARE NOT THERE

Danielle and I were looking through some memorable moments on the phone. They captured her first steps and other things. When we got to a particular one, she said to me, “Daddy, you are not there”. I smiled to her, “I was the one capturing moment. I was the one behind the scene”. There is an artwork I grew up […]

YOUR PERCEPTION MUST NOT AFFECT YOUR OBEDIENCE

It was some few weeks to resumption at Law School. I was reading early that morning at about 3 am. The Lord whispered to me, “Son, there is a repositioning coming to the land of Eruwa, I want you to be there to reap the harvest”. For the next two years, I had arguments about the leading of God. I […]

THE SECRET OF THOSE WHO GO FAR

Once the lockdown was announced, I knew there must still be a way that the people I am called to pastor would be trained. We moved a scheduled ministry training on WhatsApp. Every day for two months (except when we took a break), we had training. Eighteen of those I pastored went through it. Capacity was enlarged. But 8 months […]

THE WEIGHT OF A FATHER

My friend’s dad would not use cane on his them but his words were always weighty. His words would make you have a mental reset in few seconds. We dare not flout his instructions. Even though he is late now, his words and values still carry a lot of weight. We still remember his words till date. God asked Jeremiah […]

WHEN IT IS TOUGH, WHERE DO YOU TURN?

Baba asked me, “Son, what do you see in Eruwa?” I answered intelligently, “I see us controlling both the spiritual and economic climate of the city”. His response jolted me to life: “Son, choose one. If you chase the two, you will neither be an economic or spiritual giant you will get lost in between”. But the statement he added […]

OLIVE CRIES WHEN…

After picking up the family from work, we stopped by in church office so I could pack my bags and then head home. The moment I packed in front of the church building, Olive began to jump excitedly in the car. Her mum said, “If you don’t allow her to get down and go inside the church, she will start […]
