THE TRAP TO AVOID

As we left the meeting, a dear protégé of mine said to me, “Sir, it takes pastoral grace to do what you did and still minister the truth to those young ones”. I was to teach a large crowd of teenagers but they were distracted and noisy. I said to him, “Sir when I saw how distracted and noisy they […]

THINGS A FATHER MUST NEVER FORGET (4)

My dad gets to play pranks on us at times. One afternoon, he called and requested that he needed to see me. I went to meet up with him in his office. He gave that look that showed he had something important to say. He then said, “My son, I have a child outside” (meaning another woman has a baby […]

THINGS A FATHER MUST NEVER FORGET (3)

My lovely wife was carrying our first baby. I travelled for about 48 hours out of town. When I returned, Irewamiri said, “Can you imagine your daughter?” (a reference to the baby in the womb) I was inquisitive. She said “She had not been kicking for the past 48 hours. I tried all I could. I talked to her. I […]

THINGS A FATHER MUST NEVER FORGET (2)

I got to the office pretty early that morning. I spotted a man at a drinking parlour close by drinking early that morning. I would have walked away but I saw him with a boy that could not be more than three years old. I confronted the man. I asked him why he would want to introduce his son to […]

THINGS A FATHER MUST NOT FORGET

Each day I made it a point of duty to say words of blessing over my household both in private and after our devotions. The day Danielle knelt in front of me without being told made me know the weight of what I have been doing. Dear Father, make it a point of duty to bless your spouse and your […]

“IKU PO MI NU” (Death Vomitted Me)

As we drove home I asked Irewamiri, “Did you pick the lesson as he shared the testimony?” She said, “Yes I did”. There is a lesson I kept sharing for a while, “You do not fight thoughts with thoughts. You cancel and erase thoughts with words”. Someone dear to me was stuck in traffic and thoughts came to him that, […]

HOLIDAYS WERE NOT HOLIDAYS

During childhood, our holidays had a standard routine. On most days, we would resume reading at the guest room in our neighbour’s hospital by 8 am and we would not leave until 12 noon. There were sums in New General Mathematics Textbooks that must be solved before the holiday was over. We could only play after we had observed our […]

THE DADDY WE RAN FROM

While growing, we had a father in the neighbourhood who was quite tough. He is a Medical Doctor. Whenever we see his car coming, we would dodge and find another route. Once he gives you a ride, you will begin to recite the multiplication table until you get to your destination. We thought that he was simply too tough. He […]

I WAS BOYCOTTING PROCESS

As a teenager growing up with parents who were Pastors, one of the things to endure was the Pre-convention fast. It was a minimum of fourteen days and a maximum of twenty-one days. But it was difficult- pretty difficult. I thought eating toothpaste would work so I brushed several times. Laughs. I would visit our neighbours and take some slices […]

ONE CHILDHOOD GAME AND PRIDE

There is a game that we play as young ones. Someone would place a piece of paper or any light object that another will not feel easily on him. When the deed is done, the one who placed the unnoticed object on the person has a song they sing. When interpreted, it means “The one that carries a load and […]
