Once we opened the ministry office, we would resume daily in the office fully decked- shirts, ties and suits. People would accost some of the staff then and ask, “What do you people even do in that place? We thought it is a church”. They never believed that church work should demand that level of seriousness. Ministry is work. It […]
It was my Grandparents that gave me the gift of my wig and gown and other accessories as I got called to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor. It was quite some cost at the time. They now had three grandchildren as lawyers. But in service year, I knew I would be going into full-time ministry. I was […]
About 11 years ago, I got into my office and met a note saying that a childhood acquaintance had checked up on me. He promised to come back. He left his contact. I was excited to call him. He eventually returned to see me. He narrated how it was his birthday and while he prayed, the Lord told him, “Temi […]
Irewamiri decided to sew a new garment for our daughter for her third birthday celebration. The moment I announced to Olive that Mummy was sewing a dress for her, her face lit up.

The day after our wedding, a dear one called and we responded that we were already in the place we chose for our honeymoon. We were to be there for the whole week. She said to us, “You both are very smart. We did not have any honeymoon. We just went back home to continue life and we had spent […]

The second was a decision that reduced contention and friction. The question was simple- “Temi and Ronke, if you will be getting married based on what you have now, what will the […]
When we returned from our one-week break after the wedding, someone complained that there were people who did not get to eat at our wedding. My response was simple, “Can I have a list of those who complained that they did not eat so I can know the list of people to unfriend. Both my wife and I do not […]
I had a list of those my wife must meet before we got married (asides from my relatives). We made quite some trips. It was tough, but it was necessary. At a point, someone told us that we had to reduce our trip, but I explained that it was key that my wife met all the people concerned. One of […]
She felt so terrible. She still could not believe that she actually fornicated. Her mind was troubled. She knew she had to settle it with God. She prayed till she sensed a relief.
