Every time we go for the monthly meeting with my Spiritual Father, I take time out to pray for him. I back it up with a text message appreciating him for his labour over our life and ministry. I end it by mentioning how expectant I am. My dear pastor and father said to me recently also that “When I […]
In the early days of marriage, there was a middle-aged man (who was not even close to the family) who would knock on our door without any notice. We would always receive him with a great sense of hospitality. However, his visit was becoming more frequent and uncomfortable for us. Annoyingly even when he knocks and we keep quiet, he […]
I travelled with a dear one for a couple of days. While preparing for the return trip, he asked whether he could stop midway while I go ahead with the journey back to base?I smiled and told him that when next I would travel with him, I would ask him if he would be going all the way or he […]
It was the Anniversary of the Church. We were in the Conference of my pastor and father in the faith. I prayed quietly for an encounter. That day, Pastor did the unusual. He walked into the ministers lounge with the guest minister. As he turned to leave, I knelt before him and told him it was our anniversary. He laid […]
I was heading for a meeting in Lagos. My cab broke down somewhere in Ogun State. Once we saw it may take a while, I put calls through to three people in the area. Two of them came around and stood by us. One of them volunteered to get me to the next stop where I could pick another cab. […]

I was in a conversation with a couple thinking of relocating and we had such a fruitful conversation. I saw the energy with which they spoke about their dream but then I simply said to them, “Going is not a bad idea. At least be sure you have direction and not just emotion” Then I added, “A lot of people […]
After the prayer meeting, a teenager walked up to me with a seed in her hands. She said, “While we prayed, God instructed me to give you this seed”. I was shocked. I was almost rejecting it when the Holy Spirit said, “This was also how you started. Why deny her now?” I smiled and blessed her. There are two […]
I was commending Irewamiri for her ability to multitask especially in some of the seasons of hectic ministry schedules. Irewamiri can get a meal ready with amazing speed yet still has her hands and eyes on other things. She dazes me. She then said to me that her teenage and young adult life prepared her for the season. She got […]
