We had just come in from church when one of my beloved ones ran to me to tell me that our neighbour’s young son had locked himself inside the car. Unfortunately, the remote key was right in his hands. He had activated the central lock accidentally. We all surrounded the car. We kept giving instructions, but this toddler did not […]
I had spoken to the agent a day earlier. He promised me that he had spoken to the landlord. The house met about ninety percent of the specifications we needed. We thought about seeing it and making a final decision. Honestly, I thought our prayers were answered. The agent reassured me that he had spoken to the landlord and […]
Just some three weeks or so into courtship, our planned meeting for a study was not going well. Every question I asked Irewamiri was met with a one-word answer. After all attempts failed, I decided that we change location- we drove to a different location, and I began to probe again. Well! I did not know when the tears began […]
When we made up our mind that we would be getting married, we made two important decisions- the first was a question that helped us to engage wisdom. 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 married (aside from my relatives). We made quite some trips. It was tough, but it was necessary.

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. She then called the “man in her life.” She began to express regrets and said such would never happen again. The man smiled and said to her, […]
I got several counsels ever since before I asked my wife to marry me. My spiritual grandfather told me, “Son, there are two very important things. First, be sure that you heard God. Second, do not marry a woman who does not believe in God’s vision for your life. If you do, you will be frustrated for the rest of […]
I was packing my bags to travel that morning. A young man had been trying to see me. I told him we could see briefly. He came in with all excitement. There is a lady he has spotted and would love to marry. Well! I was excited for him, too. But when he went on and on about what roles […]
During my service year, I was a student at the Insight Christian Leadership School. It was a full month of training school. We had a daily roster for leading prayer and giving exhortation. Coincidentally, the day I gave the exhortation of 10 minutes was the day of the General Pastors Meeting for the ministry. All pastors from various branches were […]
