Danielle has a pattern where she wakes up very early. There are times when she wakes up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us: [...]
Read MoreWe had the most fun in our neighbours' house- they had bicycles we could ride. They also had the television games and then the handheld Nintendo game. It was every child’s dream to own one. But there was a challenge: Their Dad had rules! We had such rules as you [...]

The Lord had shown me that Irewamiri was going to be my wife. One evening, I wanted to visit after work hours. I went home first to at least have a bath and change my clothes. As I pulled a shirt out of the wardrobe, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Wear that shirt”. My response was sharp, “Lord, I […]
Once I concluded the tests, the Doctor said she wanted to see my glasses. I would not know what she looked for but they said to me with so much confidence, “You took these glasses from the roadside”. I could not lie. She added, “Do you have frontal aches after a while wearing it?” I had to admit it was […]
A dear mother was recuperating. She needed to have some break from the routine of ministry. She went to stay in a new area. In about a month, she had started a children’s Bible club- leading young ones to Christ! She was also already visiting villages in that area sharing the gospel of Christ. One question struck me- What do […]
Whenever we step out of our house, we would always see an array of snails at various points on the fence of the house and in other areas of the estate. Iremawiri began to keep some really big snails. She did so well that she inspired my parents to build a snailery in their compound. Then she got pregnant and […]
When he got into the church as a young chap, all he wanted to do was to join the choir. He went through training and expected that he would be posted to the choir. Well! After his first class in church, he was posted to the media department. He was shocked, but he began to serve faithfully. He was groomed. […]
I remember my Grandpa said to my Dad, “I don’t understand what Temi is doing. Is he opening a law office or what is he trying to do?” Grandpa did not understand me yet 4 months later, he sent me a huge cash gift that was used to renovate the venue we got for church. It was such a miracle […]
I got back home from serving the nation and I knew I would have one of the toughest conversations of my life. I would not know how to explain to my parents that I would not be practising as a lawyer but will be working full-time as a minister of the gospel in the same town where I was born […]
A dear brother who is also a minister of the gospel shared an experience that blessed my life: He had to counsel a couple who had infidelity issues. They travelled to his base to see him. When the session was over, the husband brought out a seed. He wanted to give it to his pastor. The pastor refused the seed. […]
Danielle walked into my room with an activity book in her hands. She said, “Daddy, I am sorry. I accidentally tore my book while I was drawing on it”. I told her, “Girl, that’s fine. Be careful next time”. The next thing she said was what shook me to my bones, “Daddy, you taught us that when we do not […]
As I sat with another young pastor, I asked him, “Kindly describe what you feel about ministry in one word”. He took a deep sigh and said, “Frustrating”. He had “invested” so much in buying expensive gadgets. His handbills are top-grade. They were lovely to behold but he did not ask himself whether it was sustainable and what was the […]
