As we got into the hotel and I settled in. The host minister said to me, “Please, order for anything that you would desire to eat. We have paid in advance already”. I nodded in understanding. He then added, “Pastor Temi, I know you. You are not a heavy eater. You will surely leave us a lot of change in […]
I was billed to minister in a city outside my base. They asked me a couple of questions and I kindly requested that no matter the arrangement been made, I would have a minister with me at all times.

I have a dear friend that I adopted as a sister many years ago. I would visit her and the family. They had her Grandma living with them. I became a part of the family.

These were high capacity power cables. When I saw it, I said to her, “Definitely, there is no life or power in that cable. If there is power in that […]
The generator at home began to show interesting signs- it became so hard to pull. It respects only the man of the house. It also began to consume oil aggressively. We have to constantly refill the oil so we can get it running. One evening, it refused to come on despite all the aggressive pull. It struck me and I […]

Irewamiri gave me an amazing meal of pounded yam (the refined version called “poundo”) and vegetables. At a point, I knew that I had enough already. I said to her, “Darling, thanks for the meal. I am satisfied”. She responded that “Darling, don’t waste my food”. I had to explain to her that she made an amazing meal about 48 […]
