After my session with a dear one, he went home and began to make adjustments in his mindset to certain things in their marriage. Some days later, the wife told him that when he saw that he maintained a grandstand on some of the issues they had, she stopped raising it or arguing about it. The interesting part was when […]
As she kept mentioning all the habits she could not bear in her husband, I smiled and smiled. Why? I saw who I used to be in the early days of our marriage. I was a bad listener. I would conclude her statements assuming I knew what she wanted to say. Most times, she would just tell me not to […]
The way they sat, I had to ask them, “Did you both speak at all to one another in the past twenty-four hours?” The silence was the culprit. They had to say no words. I was shocked. Then I asked, “Why?” The answer was silence again. I looked at both of them and said, “You did not feel like talking […]
There was a time when we had quite some financial constraints. The day came when all the matters came to the surface. They refused to be buried. Our communication broke down. The atmosphere at home was very tense. I knew something had to be done. I reached out to my spiritual father and sought counsel. The counsel he gave changed […]
Just a few months after our wedding, we realised that Irewamiri was waking up with backaches. We did not know what the matter was for a while. Eventually, we realised it was our mattress. We decided to swap it with a lower bed and a softer mattress. Her complaints about backaches disappeared. We were glad. We thought the problem had […]
After we had exhausted a particular fund we would use for the home, I transferred some money to Irewamiri. When I told her, all I heard was “Okay”. At that moment, my mind went into research mode about the “Okay”. I began to ask why the response should be a mere “Okay”. What happened to “Darling, thank you”? As I […]
At a season in the ministry, we went through a storm. Some of those who were really close and dear to me did things that hurt me. Some had to part ways with the ministry. It was quite a rough phase. God held us through but not without a test. One day, I was driving into town and passed by […]
A dear father in the faith made a reference to one of my posts while he taught. Someone called me and informed me about it. I went into the natural overdrive- I called those who serve in the media team of the ministry to get the recording. I instructed that they get that particular portion of the teaching and send […]
Just at the threshold of responding to God’s call upon my life, one of my very dear friends said to me, “Pastor Temi, I know you are going to do ministry in Eruwa while some of us are heading to corporate jobs. Please, do not call me for small things. When there is a need, call me for big things. […]
We had trusted the Lord for a new car for a while. Eventually one beautiful night, we got the blessing of a lovely new car. We rejoiced. It was a relief for trips and movements. It was our own little miracle. Less than three months afterwards, the Lord told us to lay it down and sow it as a seed. […]
