DEAR FATHER, DO NOT SLEEP!

My parents told me the story of a health crisis that my brother had while he was still about a year old. They took him to the hospital in Eruwa, and the doctor referred him to the University College Hospital that night. My parents did not wait till morning. They began the journey that night because the life of a […]

FIGHT FORGETFULNESS

My maternal grandpa came back and asked, “Anuoluwapo, did anyone check up on us while we were away?” That was when my senses woke up. I remember that while I was sleeping, an elderly couple came visiting and told me to tell my grandparents that they were back from the hospital. What was the consequence of my forgetfulness? First, my […]

DON’T SIT THERE… IT IS COSTLY

We were preparing to head to church one morning. While waiting for my parents, our neighbour’s son and I played outside. He sat on the grassy drive-in. Behold, a tiny snake slithered just over his hands and found its way into the nearby thickness of flowers. He did not sit to explain. He jumped. We ran. It was scary. Beloved, […]

HOW TO CUT DOWN WHAT SLOWS YOU DOWN

At a point, I realised that it was getting harder to wake up at night to pray. My schedule daily was heavy no doubt, but it was easier to press my phone than to stay in the place of prayer. When I discovered this pattern, I issued myself a warrant- I cut down on my meals at night. I ensured […]

ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR A GENERATION?

I sat in the library as I spoke to a dear brother in the faith. I told him, “The whole matter concludes that ‘I am fighting a generational war that I must win’”. It was not a battle with demons or the devil. It was a battle for strength and inner will to stay faithful and on course in such […]

YOU CANNOT TAKE THESE ON BOARD

We were returning from a family trip. Irewamiri had some hot water in a flask for the children’s meal. As we checked in, the officer asked, “Do you have hot water in that flask?” We answered in the affirmative. He pointed out that we should use it for the meal before we go on board. He insisted we show him […]

DESTINATION SYNDROME

I noticed that I had books that my friends had written that I had not taken time to read. Meanwhile, I had read a whole lot of other books. I told my wife, “I am focusing on the books my friends write for the next few days. I will finish all of them. How will my friends write, and I […]

“SON, DON’T SKIP IT”

I was reading a Christian literature. I was enjoying it so much that I took the book into the restroom that morning. As I read, I got to a portion of the book that had some quotations of Bible verses. The Bible excerpt was quite long. I skimmed through and skipped it so I could continue reading. The Lord saw […]

“HOW DID YOU KNOW…?”

A dear protégé of mine heard the Lord say to him to apply for jobs in a particular institution. He got invited for an interview and the first question that he was asked was, “How did you know that there was a job opening?” The memo for the job was meant to be released some hours later but he got […]

YOU CAN’T GO FAR WHILE TAKING OFFENCE

It was a major annual convention for my Grandfather in the Faith. As I stepped out of the auditorium, he was walking with some of the guest ministers towards the office section. He saw me walking along the car park and said, “Son, make sure you see me before you go”. When I approached the secretariat, it was a bit […]
