Danielle woke up in the middle of the night. She wanted to have some beverage. I was working in the library. Right after she had a cup of beverage, she came to me and lay on the floor right beside the table. I said to her, “Go to the room and sleep”. Her answer was, “Daddy, I want to stay […]
When I was heading for National Service in Akwa-Ibom State, I got connected to a family friend whom I had not seen in years. I told him I would call once I got to Akwa-Ibom. When I landed in Akwa-Ibom, I boarded a taxi to camp. I called him from the taxi. Guess what! He was on the same flight […]
I still remember the spot where I was standing when a dear brother called me to inform me that he impregnated a young lady. I froze. He said, “I am sorry. I have disappointed everybody”.

It is a long way from where you are to where you are going, and the devil is not in a hurry to get you”. (Paraphrased) […]
Many years ago, just after I encountered Christ, an older brother mentioned that he was coming to our house, and he met a young lady on the way.

A dear father in the faith who happened to be a widower was being chased actively by a female friend. One day, amid rising pressure, he walked to his brother in the faith and said, “I am going to so and so person’s house to commit adultery.” The brother and himself laughed. That was the end of the trouble. Even […]
