BEAUTIFUL BUT WE HAD TO REMOVE IT

We had this beautiful see-through curtain that comes in tiny threads somewhere in the house. It separated the living room from the rooms. There was a day Danielle was coming to the living room running with excitement. Her neck got tied in some of the strands and it lacerated her flesh. That was the day we pulled it down and […]

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 envelope an amount to support her. A few minutes later, the […]

WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU CARRY

We had been trusting God for the fruit of the womb. After a year and some months in marriage, we lightened up and believed that God will do it while we simply focus on enjoying ourselves. Our slogan was simple: “We would not allow what we want to deny us the enjoyment of what we have”. That changed everything for […]

THERE IS MORE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

The car needed quite some repairs. It had been giving different signs. I requested the mechanic to send the amount needed to fix the car. When I got the price, I was just laughing. The devil wanted to suggest ingratitude to me. I smiled again and began to make a mental list of the things that I was grateful for. […]

He said to them, “I do not know you but thus says the Lord, ‘In nine months, you will have your baby’. They had been married for […]

Someone reached out to me about a vacancy in a company. They needed supervisors to handle their investments around my location. They had their requirements but they needed people of character also. The people they got earlier messed up a lot of things. He said to me, “Pastor, after the required qualifications, whoever you recommend gets the job” Do not […]

HE NEVER KEEPS TO TIME OF DELIVERY

Irewamiri definitely was not pleased after the phone call. One of the people who supply the school materials has always acted funny. She said, “He never keeps to the time of delivery. He always has one excuse after the other. This is not his first or second time. I don’t think I want to keep dealing with him” Good delivery […]

WE STILL SPOKE ABOUT HIS CHARACTER

As we drove into Lagos and settled in at our base, I got a chat from someone who used to help us with branded materials. I told him that we were just speaking about him some minutes ago. What did he do that attracted me to him: Some years back, we gave him some clothes to work on. When we […]

DON’T EVER 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 […]
