HONOUR YOUR IN-LAWS 

On the journey to marriage, we had to embark on family visits. There were quite some opposing voices already. They had legitimate fears about our intention to get married. In the heat of it, we visited an elderly one. He did not mince words when he said to me, “Are you sure you will not be a liability to your […]

THE ARTWORK ON THE WALL (The Power Of Generational Investments)

I was invited to speak in a meeting some years back. I was in the house of my host when he pointed to an artwork on the wall and said, “Your Dad and Mum gave me as a wedding gift. Those words are priceless. They shaped my value towards diligence.” At that moment, it struck me that “Can my children […]

YOU HAVE A GREATER APPOINTMENT

I was driving that evening through some of the interesting areas of the city to catch up with an appointment with my spiritual father. The GPS already told me it will take me about an hour to get to him.  Just some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space […]

WHEN THE PIZZA DOES NOT COME

I woke up that morning still thinking of the Pizza. I had longed to have some pizza for a while- that is matured hunger and thirst for the taste of pizza.  I struck a deal with a friend coming to Eruwa. I followed up like it was a convert. My friend bought the pizza but guess what, she forgot it […]

WE TRUSTED THE G.P.S

We were visiting Lagos a while back and just as we approached Lagos, I engaged Google Maps. Even though we had been to that location several times, we did not want to rely on our personal experience.  Google Maps at a point said it had found a better route and asked if I would want the alternative. I accepted. It […]

“TEMI, TEMI”- THE CALL OF THE MAN I DID NOT RECOGNISE 

Irewamiri and I checked into a hotel on a trip out of town. We walked into the restaurant of the hotel to order a meal. Afterward, we went into our room. I remembered that I had to pick a thing from the vehicle.  As I stepped out, a man beckoned on me saying “Timi, Timi…” (He got the pronunciation of […]

“DARLING, LETS GO INSIDE”

We were having some bonding time outside the house. The weather was friendly and we were discussing. There were some artisans working on a site not too far from us. They began to use vulgar words and communicate with one another in an abusive manner.  I was not comfortable with the atmosphere but I was enduring it while we still […]

FAVOUR IS NOT JUST ABOUT YOUR WEDDING; IT IS ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE

A young family was spending some time with us that morning, and we got into a conversation about their home. As we were about to end the conversation, I had a prompt to say to them, “The favour you enjoyed was not because you wanted to get married. People were not giving you gifts because it was your wedding day. […]

HE WANTS THE BEST OF US 

Right after the service year, he got a great job in the same city. The job came with a Mercedes Benz Vboot and an official apartment. We all rejoiced. What a delight. About two years later, he began to have a prompt from the Lord to take the gospel to an unusual location.  A mission agency in one of the […]

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE THE ANSWER?

When I returned from service year and recounted to my parents that the Lord has called me into ministry full-time, it was initially a quiet drive around town as I narrated my encounters with the Lord.  The next day, my dad walked into the room and said to me, “I thought you were coming home to tell us that you […]
