THE STORM IS OVER

That morning when the crisis was beginning to get at me, I sent a message to my Spiritual Father. His response was simple and short: “The storm is over” And indeed, the storm ceased and things began to align. Those who opposed began to support our vision. The exiles returned to the land of Jerusalem in order to rebuild the […]

DADDY REFUSED A “DEAD” WIFE

January 4 1990 is my mum’s unique birthday. She was to undergo eye surgery in an hospital in Ibadan. Just before the procedure commenced, she reacted to anaesthesia. They rushed her to another hospital and kept trying all they could but to no avail. The Ghanaian doctor tried all that was possible and had to tell my Dad that his […]

THRONES AND ALTARS

In my first year in the University, I was in a room that had 11 others legally. We also had those who lived in the room as squatters. We were about 14. On one of such days, a dear room mate paced the aisle in the room talking and disturbing all those who were trying to catch an evening nap. […]

“IF I CAN TEACH YOU TO PRAY… “

That afternoon, the meeting took a different turn- the atmosphere switched. My spiritual father began to declare over us as sons. Then he paused and said to us, “The major thing I need to teach you is to pray. If I can teach you to pray, I can get you to succeed”. The disciples of Christ told Jesus to teach […]

JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED

JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED As I drove into the school compound, a young boy was hawking fufu (a meal made from cassava). We do not eat it on a normal day but my heart leaped to it. I drove into school thinking and smiling at the thought of buying fufu. I discarded the idea. I picked up my family and […]

THE PARABLE OF THE ANTS AND COCKROACHES

As I strolled around Daddy’s house that night, I spotted a number of roaches playing around a septic tank. Well! I stepped on a couple of big ones- about 8 of them. I left them right there. In the morning as I was taking a prayer walk, I passed by the battleground where I killed the cockroaches and they were […]

THE QUESTION I ANSWERED WITH WISDOM

That night, it was a bumpy ride getting to his house. Just after settling in, the conversation began. One of the questions he asked was a bombshell. He was definitely concerned about what I was thinking when I decided to abandon law in order to do ministry in a small community. Any smart person would know that the economic strength […]

THE QUESTION I DID NOT ANSWER

He looked at me that night after we exchanged pleasantries and said, “What do you do?” “I pastor sir” I responded. The next question was, “What is the name of the church?” I replied him. “Did you start the church?” He queried. “Yes, I did” I responded. The next statement was not one I was prepared for. He said, “So […]

“DANIELLE, GIVE ME”

I handed over the remaining drink to Danielle. Just before she finished it, I asked her to give to me. She refused vehemently. I said, “Baby girl, I was the one that gave you now. I can give you more”. She refused to give me. Then it struck me how hard giving can be. I remember years ago when it […]

“I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU”

That day just before we ended talking, I told him, “I will be praying for you”. I meant it but for a long while other things crept in and I did not pray for him. The morning I remembered, the Holy Spirit scolded me: “You said you will be praying for him. Have you?” Do not just brandish words all […]
