Recently, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human mind to […]
I had spent a while waiting on the Lord. It was the predetermined day to break the fast. Coincidentally, we had some great meal ordered for the evening already. It was going to be a “wash it down with joy” kind of evening. Just at that moment, I sensed a nudging to wait for another day. The question that the […]
Once we opened ministry office, we would resume daily in the office fully decked- shirts, ties and suit. People would accost some of the staff then and ask, “What do you people even do in that place? We thought it is a church”. They never believed that the church should demand that level of seriousness. If there is anything God […]
We all sat at lunch. Then I discovered that plantain (my favourite) was missing on the table. As Irewamiri brought the plantain and I rejoiced, our guest said, “I am not taking plantain. I am hungry. If I eat just plantain, I would not be able to eat the rice well”. I said to her, “That’s a lesson- our hunger […]
Olive would always insist that she would eat her meal by herself. She would mess up her entire body and spill some all over the floor while others definitely got into her mouth. There are times that I would feel like feeding her so the entire place can stay clean without having to do the extra work of cleaning up. […]
We were having a conversation with our covenant friends. We were all enjoying the moment but we began to share about our nature of waking up early to work. We all realized that we love to utilize the early hours of the day. We pray. We meditate. We write. We plan. To have a great morning, there was always a […]
I invited a worship minister many years ago (even before I started ministry) to my community. As we were about to get into the meeting, knowing how conservative the congregation was, I said to him, “Bro, If you want to get the heart of the people here, you will have to pull off that necklace”. The next thing he said […]
I was returning home on a commercial motorcycle. We spotted a truck had derailed on the main road. While I said, “Oh what happened there?”, The rider turned his head and kept looking at the scene. What he did not know was that we were already derailing from our part of the road and was almost running into a car […]
I had roasted fish on my meal. I invited Olive to have some. She shrugged me away. I went close to her to feed her and she refused. I sat down and kept eating. Afterwards, I went to Danielle and put a chunk of fish in her mouth. Then, I gave another chunk to Irewamiri. Afterwards, Olive began to look […]
A doctor had to explain to a patient that a gangrenous foot had to be amputated. He told the patient what Jesus said that “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to […]
