DIVINE DEMANDS DISTURBS THE FLESH

I was in a conversation with an elderly person and he mentioned to me, “This is not just comfortable”. He is was referring to a godly demand. I said to him, “Sir, the demand of God is never comfortable. It will disturb and unsettle the flesh”. He took a deep sigh. Beloved, the demands of God upon a man that […]

EQUIPPING BEFORE APPEARANCE

I needed help with clearing the weeds in the compound. For weeks, I tried reaching out to a young man who helps me regularly. When I eventually saw him, he explained to me that the reason he had not come was that he had no tools. His cutlass got spoilt on his last job. He promised to show up once […]

THE AFTERNOON NAP AND THE STOLEN PHONE

It was my second year at University. I was sleeping soundly that afternoon in the hostel. It had been a busy day and I knew I needed a well-deserved rest. There were just two of us in the room. My roommate stepped out to attend an afternoon lecture without notifying me. I was soundly asleep. He left the door unlocked. […]

THE MYSTERY OF THE RATS

“There is a rat in this house” Irewamiri announced. “How did it get in here?” That was my response. The rat strayed into our hands one morning around 3 am and we killed it. But the next day, there was already another one. We knew something was not right. For three nights, we endured the invasion of rats until we […]

WE FOUND A WAY TO TALK LONGER

Back in the days when we began to fall in love and telecommunications company helped our emotional affairs with free midnight calls, we made a discovery. Even though the free call was to be from 12 am to 5 am, we discovered that if one dropped the line after talking for hours by few minutes to five, you can still […]

SAVINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES

We needed financial counselling. We were not shy to open up to our teachers. The patient that needs attention must not hide the wounds from the doctor. When we mentioned how we were becoming financially pressured and we do not even have any savings at all, the answer we got was liberating. First, he did not mince words by showing […]

NOT OVERNIGHT

My wife and I have a principle for resolving conflicts but it took five years into marriage to see the spiritual importance of that principle. We both cannot sustain a quarrel overnight. There are days I would say to her, “We are not stepping out of this house if we do not resolve our differences. Our home is more important […]

THE BEHEADED SNAKE

My spiritual father was teaching us sometimes ago and shared a story with us. Back in the days in the village, whenever they kill a snake while on the farm, they would carry it back to the village after the day’s work. When they get to the village, they would behead the snake. Someone would place the head of the […]

WAKE UP AND TAKE THE DAY

For weeks, I knew that I was underperforming. I was actually getting tired easily. It seems as though everything was slow. I turned to God one evening in prayer about how I felt and God said to me, “Show me your plan for the past few days”. I had no plans to present. I went to work immediately and drew […]

DEFINE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

I was having a conversation with a protege some years back and he shared a priceless lesson with me. He told me that it was better to give counsel only to people that I have defined relationships with. He mentioned that giving counsel to people who do not care is a waste of time. My Pastor told some set of […]
