OF MARRIAGES AND HOUSE CHORES (2)

In a bid to get me to support her on house chores because of all my complaints, Irewamiri said to me one day in anger, “Am I your Fatima?” She was asking figuratively whether she was my housemaid. I knew what she wanted. I knew what she meant. However, she did not get me to do house chores by squeezing […]

OF MARRIAGE AND HOUSE CHORES (Part 1)

In the early days of our marriage, I would complain that I did not like the sight of used plates in the kitchen. Leaving plates overnight was a capital offence in my parents’ house. It does not occur all the time but once was enough to get me upset. Irewamiri also had a point- she is tired after cooking especially […]

WHEN YOU GET USED TO WHAT IS BROKEN

For a long time, the lever of the water closet in our restroom was broken. Whenever we wanted to flush, we would lift the lid and pull the spring inside. Months later, I got a plumber to fix it for us. But this is what happened- I would still go into the restroom and lift up the lid to pull […]

WHEN IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU WANT

One of the young men I pastor has a great story: In the process of his integration into the church, he wanted to be a part of the Music Team. Eventually, he was posted to the Media Unit. It was not what he wanted but he took it in good strides. He deployed the initial skills that he had and […]

THAT GIRL WON’T STOP CALLING

As a young man, I went to preach in a church. I noticed that the eyes of a young lady in the choir seemed to square with mine at all times my eyes went in that direction. I was not comfortable. One way or the other, some of the folks in the church got to ask for my contact (these […]

YOU DON’T NEED TO LIKE YOUR PASTOR

I was in a conference for ministers of the Gospel. One of the panellists was asked a question of how he had been able to sustain a life of discipline in Ministry. His answer has not left me. He said, “I have a Pastor”. You will not understand the weight of what was said until you think about the fact […]

WHO CHALLENGES YOU ABOUT SEX?

Our very first visit as an intending couple to my Spiritual Parents was a tough time. The first question that my fiancée (as she then was) was asked made us heave a sigh of relief. The question was simple but profound, “Has he slept with you?” She responded in the negative. And the next thing was “Tell us now so […]

WHAT YOU GAVE UP ON

Irewamiri let out a sound of joy. She said to me, “My vegetables are sprouting again”. She went into the small vegetable bed and began to mention the different ones that were sprouting to me. Something unfortunate happened weeks earlier. In a bid to get rid of weeds in the compound, we also got rid of her vegetables unknowingly. They […]

“YOU WILL OUTGROW HIM”

I was speaking to a dear sister some years back. I noticed her spiritual growth as her Pastor and I was excited about it. Every Pastor loves a growing sheep! I told her the honest truth about her courtship. She had been talking about the man in some previous conversations. I told her, “Can I tell you this? The pace […]
