I was sharing a couple of lessons from our marriage journey with an intending couple. Our first conflict in marriage was a compliment that was taken as an insult. It took a while to be able to correct the impression that the compliment created. In marriage, there is a tendency that both parties will communicate from their background. Your choice […]
One morning, Irewamiri was on the phone with a dear one that we both loved. She naturally began to pour endearments as they spoke. At that moment, I became jealous. I began to wonder when last she spoke to me in the same way. We had been so lost in the routine of our daily tasks that we stopped giving […]
I was away for a week-long meeting. On the day I arrived, it was such a huge moment with Irewamiri and the children. Some hours later, I got a mail from my wife. I was surprised. I read through and it highlighted the areas that she was grateful for in the journey of our marriage. She spoke about how great […]
Right after the meeting, the family walked up to me and said, “Pastor, the word you gave to us is very accurate”. As we interacted, I got to know that the wife had made up her mind to pack her load that season and leave her matrimonial home. God sent a word that brought peace to the storm. But another […]
A dear son came visiting and said his wife looked at him recently and said, “Thank God for Eruwa in your life”. He came into town as a corp member after attempting to relocate to a city. He eventually got the opportunity to relocate but he said he just had this feeling to stay and he did. Now, he does […]
There are twice in life that I had to make decisions about offering. The first time was in my second year at the University. I made up my mind that I wouldn’t give an offering less than a particular amount. I looked at the monthly stipend and decided on an amount that I knew was substantial and honourable. As my […]
One evening at the university, I was heading to our sports complex when I met a friend of mine. While discussing, she told me that she was going to spend the evening attending a mentoring vigil with some of her other friends. I smiled and told her these exact words: “Why are you guys jumping around? What are you looking […]
A protege of mine got admitted to the University and he came to ask me for one thing I would have done better if I had the chance to get admitted again. It was a question I had answered before he even asked. My answer was simple, “I would not waste time getting committed to a church”. I was actually […]
In my second year at the university, I woke up one night because I had a test in the morning. I picked up my books to read and at that moment it struck me like light “Have you ever woken up to pray, study or fellowship with the Lord?” That day, I decided that nothing would ever come before my […]
My spiritual growth leapt in my second year at the University. Even though I had given my life to Christ way earlier as a teenager, I still was on a plateau. I was more religious. I only followed the routine. There were no sparks or vibes in my walk with God. It was just boring. One evening, I was visiting […]
