I was alone in the church office. I had made up my mind to throw all I can into the work of the ministry. After the break-up, my energy for ministry work tripled. Some few months into this episode, God broke the ice one morning. He said, “Son, spend some time praying for your future wife”. I argued and kicked […]
As a small boy, I had a standard ritual for waking up (don’t laugh at me): I would call out each morning, “Mummy, I am awake”. Mummy comes to sit on my bed. I climb on her back. She turns around and I glide off her back. That’s how the day starts (don’t feel jealous if you did not have […]
In the middle of the night, the door of my room opened. In the darkness, I could pick the figures of my dad and mum as they strolled to my bedside. Daddy tapped me gently. I was already awake. “Your mum has something to tell you”. With that sweet mother’s voice, she said, “My son, I am sorry”. Earlier in […]
I was preparing a teaching about how Elimelech went to Moab and got trapped in his needs. I needed to use the restroom. As I got into the toilet, I noticed a small rat playing in a bucket. It was nibbling at some tiny things in it. It was obviously enjoying itself. I carried the bucket and it kept nibbling […]
My siblings and I hated it while growing. As young as I could remember, Mum would get to your bedside between 5 am and 5:30 am. She will give you a gentle tap, sprinkle water on your face and wake you up to pray. At times, I sleep off again and the “rod and the staff” comfort me while the […]
I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad’s office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady. He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word.Two days after my wife said “Yes” to […]
I was putting in some fuel in the generator at home. Some flies kept hovering over the source of light I had with me.Just as I finished putting in fuel and I wanted to cover the tank- one of the flies flew directly into the tank.Well! I simply covered it.As I turned away, the Holy Spirit whispered to me,“It is […]
My little niece was 4 years old then. I was having a chat with her mum and elder sister when she stepped out of the bathroom. She had a towel around her little body.Once she stepped into the room and saw me (I had not even noticed her presence), she said with her four-year voice but with the confidence of […]
Once the Lord revealed to me that Irewamiri was the woman to marry, I knew I had to seek the counsel of my Spiritual Father. I sought an appointment with him. When I eventually saw him, he gave me life-saving counsel that positioned me to make great decisions about marriage. If you are a child of God, do not live […]
As we left the meeting that night, I was given a pack of food. By the time I checked out what was in it, the temptation began. On a norm, I do not eat late at night but when I saw it was a pack of small chops, I began to tell myself that there could be an exception to […]
