We have some cashew trees on a landed property. We got the report that fire invaded the land even after clearing the base of the tree and burnt some of the trees on the land. We were not happy about it- it was not a beautiful sight. There were trees there full of burnt leaves. Some weeks later, I was […]
As I stood in front of our house some time ago, I noticed that there was an old cutlass close by. It was a very strong one. I told the person with me that “Kindly keep the cutlass away from the entrance”. He wanted some explanation and I said to him, “It would be inappropriate to supply a burglar the […]
Every time I see my girls fight for house chores, I have a good smile. They will fight for a broom to sweep and carry chairs to the sink to join in washing dishes. There was a time that Danielle was helping mum wrap Moin-Moin (a meal made from beans) and it ended up in a disagreement because she wanted […]
I was praying that night when the Holy Spirit said, “Why don’t you go to the kitchen and clear it up?” I went to the kitchen and cleared the dishes while I still fellowshipped with the Lord. In the morning, I was expecting to hear “Thank You, Darling, for cleaning the kitchen”. I heard nothing but silence. It seems the […]
For us as a young couple seven years ago, the evening did not seem to be starting on a great note. Every statement I made got a one-word answer like “fine”, “nothing” and “okay”. The atmosphere was thick. The room seems smaller. For almost two hours, Irewamiri was moody. I did all I could. I prodded and pushed so I […]
I was at a conference somewhere in the southern part of the country. As we worshipped, I sensed to lie on the floor. The floor of the church was rough but I still did eventually in worship. After the meeting, a man walked up to me and said, “I love the way you worship”. I appreciated him but then he […]
A childhood friend and I fought back in our secondary school days. It got a bit tough. He had the physical might and I had the mouth. I used my mouth. I abused him that he got home and told his mum what I said. His mum visited my parents that night and said, “Even if Temi and my son […]
I was teaching in church one evening when I had a significant digression and I said, “Let me talk to some of you who did not grow up with your parents. You were used in an uncle’s house as a slave. You were the one who cleaned up the mess everyone made. You saw things that you have not recovered […]
I followed my pastor to a church for a Stewards’ Vigil at another church some years ago. My Pastor preached like fire. Till now some of the statements he made still ring out loud in my head: “God is not in the business of maintenance. He keeps making things better. If you cannot make it better. Quit”. He was challenging […]
The Lord led my wife and I to give a particular gift to someone. Some days after he came to me and said, “Pastor, about two years ago, you were preaching and you said, ‘For instance, I am giving (I mentioned his name) a (I mentioned the gift)”. He then added, “Pastor, now you have done exactly what you used […]
