CHANGE THE BATTLEGROUND

My younger daughter would always contend with and pull things out of the hands of her elder sister. I watched them struggle over a balloon one evening.  She took it from her elder sister. Danielle burst into tears while Olive was smiling. Then Danielle did something. She took it back from her. She went to a bookshelf and placed it […]

“SO THERE WAS FRIED RICE IN THE KITCHEN”

It had been a pretty hectic day. It was also a day of fasting and prayer. As we returned home knowing we were already late, I told Irewamiri, “What are we eating tonight seeing we could not prepare our regular fried rice?” She said to me, “What would you love to eat?” I told her anything that would not add […]

GIVE THOSE CLOSE TO YOU YOUR BEST

Dad had some appointments to keep in Ibadan. He requested that I drive him. I agreed. At least, it is a privilege. We always get to have great father-son moments on the road.  As we got back to Eruwa, the first place we would get to was my house before his house. He asked if I would head to my […]

CAN GOD RELY ON YOU?

A friend was narrating to her that she had an emergency some days back and sent a text message to some of her friends to kindly stand in the gap for her around 1 am. She then asked her friend, “Why did you not text me also?” The friend told her, “It is difficult to reach you on a normal […]

HAVE YOU KNOCKED?

We were preparing to hit the road for the day. I was the first to get into the car. While I was settling down at the wheel, I heard a knock on the door at the passenger’s side. It was Danielle.  As I opened the door, she said to me, “Daddy, I have been knocking on the door”. I responded, […]

“I CAN NEVER FORGIVE HIM”

Years 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 is someone you are refusing to forgive”.  She said to […]

“YOU WILL OUTGROW HIM”

I was speaking to a dear Sister some years back. I noticed her spiritual growth as her Pastor and I was excited about it. Every Pastor loves a growing sheep! I told her the truth about her courtship. She had been talking about the man in some previous conversations. I told her, “Can I tell you this? The pace at […]

DON’T ALLOW OFFENCE TO THRIVE

A dear father in the faith gave me an appointment to see him. I honoured the day but I sent messages to get further details. I got no reply. I had to travel back to base without seeing him. I sent some follow-up messages.  Some weeks later, I needed to send him another message when I realised that he sent […]

MA, THIS IS NOT THE AMOUNT I REQUESTED

My friend shared a story of how a random woman showed up at their door and asked his Mum that she wanted to see a Doctor. Well, she mentioned that she needed some financial assistance for her boy in school. He did not know her but went in to envelop an amount to support her.  A few minutes later, the […]
