DEAR HUSBAND, THIS IS HOW YOU WIN!

It was the first year of our marriage. I just knew that the evening was not going too well. My wife seems to be asking for space. We had no arguments whatsoever. Late in the evening, she did not stay in our room. She decided she wanted to stay in another room. She actually shut the door so I could […]

OF PRIDE AND PROMOTIONS

A day earlier, I got reports that a beloved one was disgruntled about certain things and was in a hurry to pull out of the organization that she was a part of. Someone encouraged and spoke with her. The next day, a group of persons approached the head of the organization requesting for permission to give the disgruntled person some […]

OF “GOD SEES MY HEART” AND GODLY STANDARDS

A while back, one of the Christian organizations I relate with paid us a courtesy visit in the office. In the middle of our conversation, I realised that one of the female executives had no issue with having her male fiancé spend the night in her room. I had to take out time to teach and guide by the Word […]

CARRIED BY THE HAWKS

Irewamiri started raising chickens. We had seen two tiny ones become huge in a space of two months. Then she got another two but something happened. We came back home and discovered that the two small chicks had been carried by hawks. It was painful. We wished we had caged them and fed them. Weeks later, we got another two. […]

PUT THE CAR ON NEUTRAL

I had an opportunity of seeing a vehicle being towed. The operator of the towing van just after hooking up the car said, “Put the gear on neutral”. A light bulb came on- There was no way he could tow a car with an engaged gear. The gear had to be on neutral. Why? Where the towing vehicle turned, was […]

THE DANGER OF MOOD SWING

In the middle of a conversation, a dear one said “We are used to that by now. When she likes she is happy. When she does not, no one can do anything about it. She has a reputation for that”. One of the dangers of mood swing is that it repels favour. The men who are meant to favour you […]

WHEN THE TEACHERS CHANGED

In my second year in the University as an undergraduate, there is a course that it was widely reported that the lecturer in charge was not generous with good grades. The lecturer actually taught us the first semester and the results were not too friendly. However, by the second semester, the lecturer was swapped for another person. First, the course […]

MY STRUGGLE WITH LUST AND THE CALL TO CONSECRATION

As a teenager, in the midst of my struggles for a pure walk, I would stay awake to watch the show called “Midnight Hot” on one of the channels of a Cable TV. I only wanted to see the scantily clothed figures on the screen. I stayed awake to watch! Fleshly desires kept me awake. I mean- I waited for […]

OF EMPTY ENVELOPE AND CHILD-LIKE FAITH

My daughter walked into our room with a white envelope in her hands. She opened it and I knew it was empty. But then, she dipped her hands into the empty envelope and stretched her hands towards me. I was wondering what the drama was about so I stretched my hand to receive her imaginary gift. She dipped her hands […]

“HOW DID YOU KNOW…?”

A dear protégé of mine heard the Lord say to him to apply for jobs in a particular institution. He got invited for an interview and the first question that he was asked was, “How did you know that there was a job opening?” The memo for the job was meant to be released some hours later but he got […]
