When I picked up her call, she was already angry. The things her husband had done had really infuriated her. It was not even the first time. He had promised that it would not happen again. After her narration, she said, “Let me confess, I slapped him because I knew he was lying and covering up his tracks again”. A […]
Quite some things began to happen after my mum lost her sight in 1998, but one thing that did not happen was the burial of her dreams or vision. Her last artwork before she lost her sight was a cardboard cuts of a dancing woman pasted on board with these words written on it: “Life Goes On” In that situation, […]
We were in front of a supermarket. Irewamiri mentioned the things she needed to buy and asked for money. I did not realise when my face betrayed me – I had been squeezing my face. All I heard next was, “Don’t worry”. She stepped out of the car. She made the purchase! I am sure I am not the only […]
Late that evening, my aunt told my Dad that her own aged Dad has refused to sleep till he sees my Dad. He told them he would stay up till we arrived, even though it was past his sleeping time. He told his daughter, “I am not sure they make men like that again. He is a rare man”. When […]
I could sense the hurt in her voice when she said to me, “I do not think we can ever work together”. Those words pierced my heart heavily. It was the cap of a season that we had struggled with bonding. I did not seem to know the right things to do. We were more like Moses and Zipporah when […]
A few years into marriage, we hit some turbulent waters financially. We had a night of unresolved matters. The situation at home triggered issues that left a cold atmosphere all night. I woke up to a “Memo” from Irewamiri. She had a lot of questions. I had no answers. I was in some shock. After I dropped her off at […]
We were arguing about a matter. It was becoming a bit intense. At a point, I raised my voice on Irewamiri. Once I realised what I did, I instantly apologised. I said, “Even though we are arguing, I should never have raised my voice at you”. Then, we continued our argument again (Smiles). A husband who will be respected is […]
Marrying Irewamiri came with its own hurdles – loving family members who were concerned about her decision to settle and marry a pastor in the same place where she had initially disliked. It felt like she was brainwashed. It was a journey of prayers and wise preparations. We had one of those nights at a restaurant on Victoria Island, Lagos. […]
Irewamiri told a young man, “Do you know how much my husband was earning when he asked me out?” Five thousand naira, and he was giving out four thousand every month. But one thing he had was a sense of purpose”. I was smiling where I was. It was a purpose with pursuit. It was a purpose with proof, even […]
While preparing for the Feast that month, the Lord said to me that “He would be taking care of long-standing issues”. I believed and declared it. I had a prompt to take testimonies before teaching. A seventeen-year-old stepped up to share. He said, “I came to the Dominion Feast at Fullness Conference. When you asked that we raise our desire […]
