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 [...]
Read MoreYears 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 [...]

When the Lord called me to ministry in the land of Eruwa, my first relationship journey began to experience some shaking. It had been a smooth journey for about four years but that decision to go full-time in ministry in obedience to the Lord, especially in Eruwa became a ‘stumbling block’. Some questions kept reoccurring. At one point, we were […]
We had a rough time in courtship simply because it was quite tough for some of my in-laws to accept that their beloved daughter who just graduated from a private university was settling to marry a pastor in a rural area. At a point, Irewamiri needed to visit Eruwa and her guardians were not willing to hear anything about it […]

I was shocked when my mum (who is deeply spiritual, tongue-speaking, and in the generation of baby boomers) asked me a question that I had never given thought to. We were in her kitchen that evening. She dropped the bomb: “Temi, what do you love about her body?” I was caught off guard. I had never thought about it. I […]
While I was working towards my second published book, I was trusting the Lord for resources to print. The first person to give me anything at all was Irewamiri. We were still courting. She walked up to me that evening and said, “I want to give you this seed for your book work”. It was ten thousand naira. I cannot […]
In the early days of my parent’s marriage, they had my Dad’s mum and younger brother living in the house with them for a season. During those days, issues began to brew gradually. My uncle would not do anything and would expect to be served like a king while my Grandma would give him support while trying to intimate the […]
A beloved one brought the lady he intended to marry. When she visited, we had some great time of interactions but I honestly did not hold back on sharing with her about the burdens of marrying a young man in ministry, especially in the location we were. All we knew was that she disappeared after the visit. When she would […]
The first time he visited her church. It was a prayer meeting and at a point, they were requested to bring out water so it could be used as a point of contact in prayer. He was not too comfortable with it so he did not respond to her “kind” gesture of having a bottle of water. The wife-to-be noticed […]
As the young man spoke with me, I could count the number of times that he said to me, “Papa told me…”. He repeated it so much that I had to ask him, “Who is Papa?” He then mentioned that he meant God. As much as I believe in the importance of a believer hearing God, it becomes a thing […]
When she saw all the red flags that were so visible all over the union, the pastor called the young lady who sought counselling and told her truthfully with love, “If you are to be my own daughter, I would tell you that the young man is not prepared for marriage. He has a lot of growing up to still […]
