PRAY FOR PEOPLE NOT JUST THINGS

I was on my way from a trip in the South-South when a dear brother gave me the gift of a lovely Lenovo tablet. I was so excited about the new gift that I woke at night to take a look at it. While looking at it that night, the Lord told me to give it to another brother of […]

I WAS PRESSURED BUT…

It was a season where I needed some money. I had prayed about it but it seems nothing changed physically. I was about to ask a friend who sends me data to convert it to cash so I can at least have offering for service that evening. I could not imagine that I would not have an offering to give […]

DO NOT MISINTERPRET SILENCE

My wife and I have learnt from experience that if there is silence in the house even though our older daughter is awake, we must not get carried away. We would have to check if someone has not turned the taps on in the bathroom or written in the wrong place or turned powder all over her body. There was […]

FAVOUR KEEPS THE DOOR OPEN

When I stepped into his office and explained what was needed, he said to me, “Why are you just coming. We were about closing the processes last week. Who knows maybe it was kept open for you?” I got all that I needed to do in record time. Let me pray for you first- In the name of Jesus, favour […]

DIVINE DEMANDS DISTURBS THE FLESH

I was in a conversation with an elderly person and he mentioned to me, “This is not just comfortable”. He is was referring to a godly demand. I said to him, “Sir, the demand of God is never comfortable. It will disturb and unsettle the flesh”. He took a deep sigh. Beloved, the demands of God upon a man that […]

EQUIPPING BEFORE APPEARANCE

I needed help with clearing the weeds in the compound. For weeks, I tried reaching out to a young man who helps me regularly. When I eventually saw him, he explained to me that the reason he had not come was that he had no tools. His cutlass got spoilt on his last job. He promised to show up once […]

THE AFTERNOON NAP AND THE STOLEN PHONE

It was my second year at University. I was sleeping soundly that afternoon in the hostel. It had been a busy day and I knew I needed a well-deserved rest. There were just two of us in the room. My roommate stepped out to attend an afternoon lecture without notifying me. I was soundly asleep. He left the door unlocked. […]

THE MYSTERY OF THE RATS

“There is a rat in this house” Irewamiri announced. “How did it get in here?” That was my response. The rat strayed into our hands one morning around 3 am and we killed it. But the next day, there was already another one. We knew something was not right. For three nights, we endured the invasion of rats until we […]

WE FOUND A WAY TO TALK LONGER

Back in the days when we began to fall in love and telecommunications company helped our emotional affairs with free midnight calls, we made a discovery. Even though the free call was to be from 12 am to 5 am, we discovered that if one dropped the line after talking for hours by few minutes to five, you can still […]

SAVINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES

We needed financial counselling. We were not shy to open up to our teachers. The patient that needs attention must not hide the wounds from the doctor. When we mentioned how we were becoming financially pressured and we do not even have any savings at all, the answer we got was liberating. First, he did not mince words by showing […]
