“YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW ME”

It was on the first of January, we wanted to have some chicken barbecue. We stopped by to buy charcoal. When I stepped out of the car to pick up two bags of charcoal of 50 naira each, I saw the very elderly woman who was selling. It struck me that I must give something. I found a crisp 1000 […]

I AM A HARPIST!

I sat on the deep freezer in the kitchen as I narrated to my lovely wife that after all we had put into getting the process done, we would have to begin again- the little hundreds of thousands was gone. I could not hold back the drops of tears that came running down my eyes. It was meant to be […]

That day as we climbed the steps to his office, he asked to know the church that has the highest impact on young people in Eruwa. I began to mention churches with a huge number of youths in attendance. Baba told me, “Son, when I ask you about impact, do not talk to me about numbers”. The truth is I […]

When my phone rang that afternoon, it was a much needed answers to prayers. A family I love called to inform me of their decision to send their tithe to the ministry in Eruwa every month.

When the minister finished preaching, we began to share about how she was a blessing to me. I thanked her. Then I got to introduce myself. My name did not ring a bell but as we spoke, she asked about the ministry and where it was. The moment I said, “Eruwa”, the discussion changed. “I know you. You are the […]

SILENT AUDITIONS (1)

SILENT AUDITIONS 1 I stumbled on an old note of mine of late. I saw some things that the Lord instructed me to do. But my heart broke. Why? The one who was meant to enjoy the benefit written in it was not patient enough. When God told Samuel that He had chosen one of the sons of Jesse to […]

TOUGH THANKSGIVING

As we prayed, I picked an impression that we should give thanks to God but not just by singing songs. I requested everyone to write down 12 specific things they are grateful to God for. It was when we began to write that it dawned on me that making a list of things to be grateful for was not as […]

REVISITING LESSONS

When I saw it, I said it out. Irewamiri asked, “Where did you see that?” I told her it was right on my phone. I had taken note a while back that: “Whatever will cause the downfall of a man followed him to the top”. Can I say it again? “Whatever will cause the downfall of a man followed him […]
