I watched a bit of wrestling matches as a teenager. When two wrestlers are in the ring, the goal is always to weaken and then defeat the opponent. Without weakening the opponent, you cannot defeat him. You would see the wrestlers pin the opponent down while the official counts to [...]
Read MoreDuring my secondary school days, I had a resumption routine for new sessions. I would get three pens and a ruler. My notes were always extra neat. After writing every topic or subtopic, I would neatly underline it with a red pen. It was always a double line. I would [...]

I was driving in town one day when a brother, who is also a minister, saw me and mentioned that he would love to see me. When I saw my Dad later that day, he also said that the same person had told him that he had a dream about the two of us that he wanted to share. I […]
One of the things I wouldn’t say I liked while growing up was the annual twenty-one days fast. As a pastor’s child, it was our annual convention month. We were encouraged to fast. Well! It is not as though there would be cooked food anyway. It was always tough, so I came up with a “strategic fasting plan.” As a […]
I was standing with an elderly person one day, and I learnt a priceless lesson from the words he said and what he left unsaid. He mentioned how he seemed to have lost grounds with his peers and how hard it was to connect with another generation. He said, “I just feel alone.” Those four words hit really deeply that […]
I was taking a walk with a brother one evening, and I had to confront him about why he was asking a lady that he had not even asked out whether she was still a virgin or not. He answered, “I cannot invest these years in keeping myself and then marry someone who did not do the same.” I took […]
There was an interesting night that we were having some difficulty resolving our disagreements. It was one of those nights that the atmosphere grew cold, and it seemed like it would remain that way. Suddenly, we heard our neighbours’ voices at the back of the house. We looked out and saw they were trying to kill a snake. I rushed […]
I documented my journey with God and His call upon my life to serve in ministry beginning from Eruwa. I sent it to my dear pastor as I was leaving Akwa-Ibom State after my national youth service. Pastor prayed for me as I went to bid him farewell. He said in prayer, “Lord, a lot of us started confused, but […]
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 envelope an amount to support her. A few minutes later, the […]
That evening, after doing all I could to win back Irewamiri’s attention, it was like nothing worked. I eventually left the room where she was at her request for some space. As I went to our room, the warmth was not there. I had to make a wise decision. I followed a humbling instruction from the Holy Spirit. I took […]
I did terribly as a young husband. One evening, I returned from work, and as my habit was, I picked up my phone and began to press it. I did not know Irewamiri had called me like three times in an attempt to tell me something. I was so distracted that I did not know when she left our bedroom […]
During one of our major projects in the ministry, a dear son reached out with a personal seed, saying that I needed to take some rest. I appreciated his gesture. What an amazing heart. It was noted when he discovered that I did not take the break as discussed. He simply said, “I knew you would not take that break. […]
