E-CAUTIONS: Of Tears, Emotions and The Wisdom of God

Some years back, I was visiting with someone I was just getting to know. That evening something happened. She got a call and I knew something was wrong. I picked from the tone of the call that it was a man-friend. Once she dropped the call, she said to me, “Pastor, it is because you are here o. I would […]

THE WEIGHT OF MISTAKES

A dear father who is active in missions and church planting in unreached terrains shared a story that has not left my mind. It happened in one of the villages where he went to plant a church.

THE WEIGHT OF TIME

I was in conversation with an elderly person and I was deeply stirred by his passion for what he does and the push he gives to it. I was forced to ask him, “Daddy, why are you running with so much passion and so relentlessly?” His answer was instructive. He said to me, “My brother, I have wasted so much […]

I was pretty scared of them but it all changed one December evening in my teenage years. I was holidaying with my grand-uncle. They were carrying turkey into a waiting […]

DADDY, COME AND SEE WHERE I FELL

I went to pick Danielle and her mum after the close of work. On arrival, Danielle came downstairs while Irewamiri was still upstairs. She greeted me and said, “Daddy, I fell down”. I did a pitiful face and told her, “Sorry dear”. The next thing I heard turned on a switch within me. She said to me, “Daddy, come and […]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Mum stepped out. Danielle stepped out also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]

THINGS THAT CAN SLOW YOU DOWN (4)

We just finished a major conference in the first year of ministry. I was super excited at the success of the meeting. I sent my mentor a message. His response shook me back to reality. He simply responded with the question: “What next?” I had no answer. While I was relishing the victory of yesterday, a new chapter had already […]
