He spoke with entitlement. He believed that the way he treated the person and the issue was normal. He would not allow anyone to speak to him anyhow. He replied to every abusive word with a dose of his own also. I felt his pains but would not choose his ways. I asked him, “Can a Samsung Remote Control work […]
I was awake when it was time to sleep. I really wanted to sleep but I could not. I picked up my phone and started scrolling through social media. It dawned on me after a while that I could use that time to pray. Well! That I began to do. The first thing I perceived in my spirit after praying […]
I needed to catch some rest and I wanted to stay away from the children for a while. I got into the room and closed the door. After a while, I heard Olive calling “Daddy, open the door”. I thought it was one of her tantrums or an attempt to get Dad’s attention. I did not realise that she was […]
We were having a friendly talk over dinner when we remembered an incident that happened. We had a bad generator and Irewamiri was not happy about it. I told her that night, “Do not let it get at you. Let’s rejoice in the middle of it all”. We had a good laugh when we remembered how quickly matters degenerated into […]
We were in the middle of a conversation. Irewamiri said something that got me angry and I decided to hold my breath. She did not realise it though. I walked away from the place where we were having the conversation. I paused and spoke these words to the Lord: “Lord, help me to choose the right response in the middle […]
We came back in that evening. Irewamiri walked into the kitchen to get our dinner ready. I was tired to the bones and I felt entitled to some rest.

We have a monthly couples hangout in our Local Assembly. One day, we asked ourselves what the first quarrel in our marriages were. Almost everyone had a challenge with communication in marriage in one form or the other. There was simply disagreements over what the spouse said or what the spouse meant. The importance of communication in marriage cannot be […]
I was with a beloved one and I began to ask questions about their marital journey. When we got to the point on communication, he said that it has dropped. That it has declined so bad that when they sit together, there is not a lot to say or talk about. I asked how it used to be. He mentioned […]
As I lifted my voice in prayers, in less that five minutes, I heard the Lord say to me in a loving tone that, “It has been a while that I heard your voice”. It sank into my heart. I knew what the Lord was saying. I was getting overwhelmed with activities that I lost touch with fellowship. Even if […]
As we began to pray, I said to my team in the ministry that “This feels so good”. I then added that it had been a while we did pray together. As I mentioned that, I began to ask myself why. It struck me that the challenge was that the hours of congregational prayers had increased as instructed by the […]
