As I was leaving service year, I already knew that I was heading to Eruwa for ministry. I sat down and documented what I perceived to be my next season. It was titled, “Life After Service Year: Embracing the Call and Pursuing Purpose”. I sent it to my mentors. There [...]

As I prayed, the Lord brought to me a picture of a vest I used to have as a young boy. It is a white vest that had images of several fruits and their names on it. It was that vest that made me know Paw-paw as Papaya too. It was a lovely vest. I rocked it while it lasted. […]
As a young boy, when rice and stew is served and never forgetting the meat, I had a strategic way of eating it. I will begin to eat from the sides- the white rice alone ensuring that the stew on top of the mountain is not touched. After circling and eating out the unmixed rice, I then stir the portion […]
While carrying my baby, my spiritual father looked at her and said, “Your father does not sleep”. I had a good smile because he taught me how to stay awake in prayer. While you are still rolling in bed, dear fathers with busier schedules who slept later than you did are already on a prayer walk- they are sold out […]
The emotions were there. Like every lover, I wanted to talk to my babe first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Asides the fact that we at times get to have late night calls during the days of free call. No matter how tired I was, I knew talking to her was a priority. At a season, […]
That morning when the crisis was beginning to get at me, I sent a message to my Spiritual Father. His response was simple and short: “The storm is over” And indeed, the storm ceased and things began to align. Those who opposed began to support our vision. The exiles returned to the land of Jerusalem in order to rebuild the […]
January 4 1990 is my mum’s unique birthday. She was to undergo eye surgery in an hospital in Ibadan. Just before the procedure commenced, she reacted to anaesthesia. They rushed her to another hospital and kept trying all they could but to no avail. The Ghanaian doctor tried all that was possible and had to tell my Dad that his […]
In my first year in the University, I was in a room that had 11 others legally. We also had those who lived in the room as squatters. We were about 14. On one of such days, a dear room mate paced the aisle in the room talking and disturbing all those who were trying to catch an evening nap. […]
That afternoon, the meeting took a different turn- the atmosphere switched. My spiritual father began to declare over us as sons. Then he paused and said to us, “The major thing I need to teach you is to pray. If I can teach you to pray, I can get you to succeed”. The disciples of Christ told Jesus to teach […]
JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED As I drove into the school compound, a young boy was hawking fufu (a meal made from cassava). We do not eat it on a normal day but my heart leaped to it. I drove into school thinking and smiling at the thought of buying fufu. I discarded the idea. I picked up my family and […]
As I strolled around Daddy’s house that night, I spotted a number of roaches playing around a septic tank. Well! I stepped on a couple of big ones- about 8 of them. I left them right there. In the morning as I was taking a prayer walk, I passed by the battleground where I killed the cockroaches and they were […]
