HIS RULES ARE FOR MY GOOD

We had the most fun in our neighbours’ house- they had bicycles we could ride. They also had the television games and then the handheld Nintendo game. It was every child’s dream to own one. But there was a challenge: Their Dad had rules! We had such rules as you only play games at selected hours during the weekend. If […]

UNCONQUERED FLESH WILL ALWAYS PROTEST

I watched a bit of wrestling matches as a teenager. When two wrestlers are in the ring, the goal is always to weaken and then defeat the opponent. Without weakening the opponent, you cannot defeat him. You would see the wrestlers pin the opponent down while the official counts to three with a tap. As long as the wrestler can […]

HOW TO BE CONSISTENT TILL THE END

During my secondary school days, I had a resumption routine for new sessions. I would get three pens and a ruler. My notes were always extra neat. After writing every topic or subtopic, I would neatly underline it with a red pen. It was always a double line. I would write with all sense of caution, avoiding making any mistakes. […]

RESTLESSNESS- A SIGN OF IMMATURITY

As a university student, I was not rooted in any local church or fellowship for almost three years. I would go to a fellowship “as led by the Spirit of the Lord”. I thought I was really spiritual. I would be on my way to the fellowship I would normally attend, and then I would hear a voice saying, “Go […]

“I CAN NEVER FORGIVE HIM”

Years back, before ministry started, I walked out of my room after some moments of prayer, and I had a word from the Lord for the first person I saw. I said to her: “The Lord said to say to you, “Your Life is just about to begin, but there is someone you are refusing to forgive.”  She said to […]

HOW TO CULTIVATE SPIRITUAL APPETITE

The first thing Irewamiri said when I got in was, “Can you imagine what just happened?” I had travelled for about 48 hours. She was pregnant with Danielle. She said that for about 24 hours, she did all she could to get the baby to kick and turn as she would normally do, but nothing happened. She sang. She rubbed […]

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PARTY PICTURES

There are many times when I have attended functions and had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At times, […]

THE STRANGE OPENINGS YOU MUST CLOSE

The first time he came to see me after many years, there was so much going on. It was hard making the first appointment we had because their baby took ill and was in the hospital for days. When he recounted all that had happened, I had a witness to tell him to go and straighten up himself and make […]

DISOBEDIENT PRAYER WARRIOR?

On my way back from obeying the instruction of the Lord to sow our car as a seed, the exhaust coming out of the public transport was discomforting – water was flowing from my eyes with a slight peppering sensation. I could hear those words, “Look at you. See how foolish you are. You gave away your only car. Look […]

LIVE IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BLESSING

In the early years of ministry, I went to visit a dear family that I love dearly. Normally, when I visited as an undergraduate, it was certain that I would leave with some good money in my pocket. Do you know the way a broke student announces to his uncle or aunt the day he will be leaving? If he […]
