YOU CAN NOT FEED IF YOU ARE NOT FED

As we returned home that day, Danielle began to show signs that she was hungry. Irewamiri tried different means to placate. It would seem to work for a while as we distracted her momentarily. Then she would begin to throw tantrums again. We made it home and then the tears went to a new level. Irewamiri though moved by her […]

IF YOU ARE NURSING A VISION 

One of her dear daughters in the faith had a baby. She was not in the same city as we were in. One evening, Irewamiri decided to call and check up on her some weeks after. The moment she asked, “Dear, how are you?”, this precious one burst into tears. She was sobbing profusely on the call. “Mama, you are […]

THE BEAUTY OF A SPOUSE WHO HEARS THE LORD

We were in a meeting when I sensed that the Lord would have us sow a seed. It was quite a tough one for me. I sent a message to Irewamiri about what I perceive in my spirit. She responded that the Lord was just speaking to her about the same thing. There was no argument. It was easier to […]

THE POWER OF TIMELY SEEDS

A dear brother in the faith shared about how the Lord asked him to send a ridiculously small amount to our father in the faith. He felt it was too small. He summoned up strength and obeyed the Lord.

While the nurse was attending to Irewamiri, a pregnant woman from the Northern part of our nation came to ask the nurse some questions.

WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON?

My first time away from home was when I got admitted to a State University in my mid-teenage years. One day, I fell ill. Unfortunately, I was the only one around in my flat. As my temperature rose, I got scared. It was late in the night. But I remembered how my Mum never permitted sickness under her nose. There […]

DO NOT WAIT FOR PERFECT SETTINGS

The Lord asked us to start a new work in another city. It was another season of making decisions. For a while, we kept waiting to have everything ready so we could begin all that we had in mind. One day, the Lord said to me, “Do not delay again. Maximise what you have”. While still looking for a permanent […]

YOU CAN STILL BIRTH GREAT THINGS, EVEN NOW

When my mum realised in February 1986 that she had taken in, she found it hard to tell her husband. Why? They had both settled that two children were enough. And like most people would say, “God had blessed them with a boy and a girl”. It seems like the perfect full-stop moment and the traditional ” hang my boot” […]

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN HARD TIMES?

As a young boy, I had the opportunity to see a diligent medical doctor go about his work almost every weekend. One of the days I cannot forget was a woman in the pain of labour who began to rain curses on her husband. She was not finding the process of labour easy. The matron shut her up and asked […]

WATCH YOUR WORDS IN TOUGH TIMES

We had to camp teenage students sometimes back. It was seven weeks of a lot of sacrifices- time, sleep and even meals. At a point, we had to take all the foodstuff we left at home to the camp. I got a report that one of the teens showed ingratitude. While trying to correct him, I said, “Even we are […]
