THERE IS A TIME TO RESPOND (2): GO AND LOOK FOR LAND

We were visiting with our dear teachers. They asked, “Does the ministry have any landed property yet?” We replied in the negative. They said to us, “Once you get back, go and look for land”. We returned and commenced a search immediately. We did not just get land in a choice location; we actually got it as a gift. Friends, […]

THERE IS A TIME TO RESPOND 1: “SON, CALL ME”

I had been awake from about 2 am. I laid on the couch in the living room just after 4 am. I wanted to catch a nap. My phone was on silent mode. I wanted to sleep a little before dawn. Then I had a prompt about fifteen minutes later to check my phone. Right there I saw a text […]

“I DON’T KNOW BUT JESUS KNOWS”

Mum shared a story recently: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet. She was in shock. She carried me to the bathroom and poured water on me. I jerked to life. She administered pain […]

THE “RATS” WILL STILL TRY

We noticed for the first time in 2 years that there was a rat in our house. One day, it strayed into our hands around 3 am and we killed it. But the next day, there was another rat. Then we made a discovery, they come in through the floor drain in the bathroom. It was open. We shut the […]

HUNGER HELPS CONCENTRATION

As Irewamiri was feeding Olive, she said to me, “Darling, do you notice something about Olive?” She then continued that, “When Olive is really hungry, she concentrates on her feeding but when she is not, she gets distracted. She wants to see the face attached to every voice that is speaking”. I smiled and told Irewamiri that hunger helps concentration. […]

OVERCOME THE PRESSURE

In the first few months of the ministry, one of my dear friends was about getting married. He called and requested that I join his train for the wedding. I would do it with joy but there was a challenge: At that moment, I knew I could not afford the things needed for the wedding- clothes and all! I was not […]

THE LIST SHE MADE

After I asked out Irewamiri, she had many reasons why she would not agree to marry me. She reminds me these days that there was just one location to fill cooking gas back then in Eruwa. We carry cylinders all the way to Ibadan. God told her to make a list of what she loved about me and what she […]

EAT THIS ONE; THROW THIS AWAY

Danielle brought a banana to me so I could help her peel it. When I was done peeling, I gave her the peel in one hand and the unwrapped banana in another hand. Then I said to her, “Eat this one. Throw this one away”. One of the assignment of fathers in life is to show the child what to […]

WHEN YOU DON’T HEAR HIS VOICE

I just finished bathing Olive in the morning. While dressing her up for the day, I left her in the room to pick up some things. The moment she was not hearing my voice, she began to react. She knew something was missing. Just then I had the Spirit impress it on my heart, “Do you get comfortable when you […]

HE FOUND A CLUB THAT NIGHT

We resumed a month behind schedule at the Nigeria Law School. We were posted to Kano Campus. We knew we had backlogs to catch up with and a lot of workloads to sort. But one of our colleagues had another plan. Once he offloaded his box, it was full of all manners of fancy shoes. He began to enquire about […]
