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 […]
There was a night Danielle went to bed pretty early and she woke up hungry the next day. She was so hungry that she wanted to have anything in sight. She took some water first. Then as a caring Dad, I wanted her to be strong on time, so I gave her a drink. She rushed it. A few minutes […]
I was scheduled to see my grandfather in the faith. I was almost in his office when he sent a message that we should see the next day. I had to return home. When I got to see him the next day, he asked me, “How about that young lady we spoke about?” I was surprised. Amid his hectic schedule, […]
Some weeks after writing my Senior School Certificate Examination (there was quite some free time that allowed my teenage mind to experiment), I was riding a motorcycle on our street. It belonged to a friend who came to visit. While taking some laps on the street, I had a fall. That very moment, our doctor was passing by. He looked […]
We were simply looking into each other’s eyes and talking. An evening time out was enjoyable. Then she remembered that the Whatsapp App on her phone was not working. I picked up the phone and began to work on it. After succeeding, I handed the phone over to her and she said “Thank you”. She began to check the phone and […]
I wrote my first external examination as an SS 2 student. This was in the year 2000. I was fortunate to be in the same examination centre with some of my childhood friends and neighbours. On the day of our first paper, there was an elderly man (at least he looked way older than us) who was sitting close to […]
Many years back, I was visiting my uncle and aunt in the city of Lagos. They have amazing children. The youngest daughter was about four years old at the time. One evening, my aunt, her elder sister, and I were having some informal conversation in the girl’s room. My little niece stepped out of the restroom with a towel around […]
I still remember where I was standing when my phone rang years ago. I was shocked at first when he said, “I have disappointed everyone. I got a girl pregnant”. I allowed the information to sink and then I said to him, ” It could have been me. I do not condemn you”. Today, he is standing strong on his […]
When I started getting to know the Lord passionately, my dad who was also my pastor as a young man, gave me the chance to share the Word of God. He gave me the privilege of using the worker’s meeting time. I was full of passion but ignorant. I began to share and “the Holy Ghost took over”, ministrations took […]
It was a journey late in the evening. A few kilometres into the journey, it was already dark. The driver was unfamiliar with the route. Yet, there were some bad portions and potholes on the way. Navigation became a bit difficult. Fortunately, he had someone by his side who knew the way. Periodically, the driver would be told, “Slow down, […]
