“DADDY, DID YOU HISS?”

Some time ago, I was narrating something that happened in a video skit to Irewamiri, and I hissed in between my talk. Olive was somewhere near, and she said, “Daddy, did you hiss?” I had to apologize to her for hissing.  Why did she ask? For a while, my beloved almost-three-year-old (as of then) would express displeasure by hissing. We […]

IT WAS EASIER PRAYED THAN DONE

As the major project we had went on, I would always pray to God to bless the work, and yes, He did. Then it struck me that I can also be a blessing to the work. So I told God, “God bless me that I may bless the work.”  God began to bless me indeed. But It was easier prayed […]

TRANSPARENCY CAN SAVE YOU FROM A CRISIS

A dear son brought a young lady that he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers. The only strange thing was that she lost interest in the young man after the visit. We were wondering what […]

DIGNIFY YOUR PASTOR

I attend a monthly ministers seminar with my Grandfather in the faith. I needed to leave earlier that day, so I sent him a text very early in the morning, apologizing that I may exit while he was yet teaching because I had to receive a special guest for our meeting in the church that night. I ended up staying […]

FATHERS DO NOT ABANDON THEIR CHILDREN

We got back home after a brief drive into town to pick up some things. When we returned, Olive insisted she was not going inside the house. I walked in and closed the door, thinking she would then be prompted to come in. She stayed outside. I could not keep my eyes away. I started looking at her through the […]

WHAT HELP DID YOU REFUSE?

Olive picked up a top and tried wearing it. I approached her to help her and she began to say, “I can do it by myself.” I left her to it. After a moment of struggling, she began to cry and throw tantrums. She was struggling with it but could not get to wear it. She got frustrated and threw […]

“PROTECT THE SEED”

We started a vegetable garden in our compound. Irewamiri did something- she decided to cage all the roaming hens in the compound before planting the seeds. She said, “If I allow them to roam, they will eat up the seeds. They will be in the cage until the seeds grow.” You have an assignment to protect the seed especially when […]

THE FUTURE IS CODED IN YOUR OBEDIENCE 

In September 2006, while praying in the sports complex at Obafemi Awolowo University, the Lord reminded me of an earlier instruction he gave in March. It was to gather young people under the same atmosphere of word and worship led by young people like them. I began to make moves to obey.  As we stepped into Eruwa the night of […]

WORSHIP IS MORE THAN A CULTURAL THING 

I was in a conference in the South-South, and as the worship session was ongoing, I had a prompt to lay before the Lord. The church floor was still concrete and dusty, but I obeyed the Lord.  After the session, a man approached me and said, “I love your attitude during worship.” I acknowledge his compliments. He saw my name […]

THIS IS NOT A DEAD END!

When they fired the guns and halted our moves, we knew we were stuck with them, and all we could do was pray. They began to ask occupants of the bus to get down and lie face down. Just in a moment, we saw a vehicle with police escorts attacking our attackers. That was how we escaped. We did not […]
