A dear teacher was sharing about how she became really sad during one of her birthdays. Her friends came around, and they had just one common statement to make- “Tone down your spirituality.” They accused her that there were times they would be together, and she would ask for time to withdraw and pray. They felt she was being excessive […]
One of the things I wouldn’t say I liked while growing up was the annual twenty-one days fast. As a pastor’s child, it was our annual convention month. We were encouraged to fast. Well! It is not as though there would be cooked food anyway. It was always tough, so I came up with a “strategic fasting plan.” As a […]
We had two dogs in our neighbourhood as young lads. One was Jack. The other was called Jill. They were our beloved pets. Jack had a unique habit. A few minutes to 4 pm, Jack would be at the door of our house. We noticed the pattern much later. Jack knew that my mum would exit the home about that […]
About seven years ago, we had just finished our Sunday service. Those who were in charge of church finance had a normal place they would keep the tithes and offerings. As they placed it there on that day, I had a prompt within me to change where it was kept before I left the office. I took the cash and […]
When my second daughter was a little younger, she would, at times, wake up at night and request to take a meal or just water. Oftentimes than not, she would retire into our bed. If you ask her to go to their room, she would disagree. What we get to do most of the time is to carry her right […]
As a teenager, I had issues with laziness and procrastination. I would watch plates piled up in the kitchen and it would look like a mountain. I would run away wishing someone else would have done it before I got back. It was always still there. I would pile up clothes for days. There were times that I would pick […]
Earlier in the day, as I walked from the living room into the bedroom, I noticed a small eraser on the floor. I had a prompt in my spirit to pick it up and keep it. I told myself, “I will pick it up later.” I never did. Later in the evening, Danielle made a mistake in her homework, and […]
We were enjoying a great meal of rice, beans, plantain, and chicken. While savouring the sumptuous meal, my teeth had an unwelcoming crunch on a stone. I could not swallow the meal nor continue to munch on it. I stopped and walked from the meal to the nearest bin to spill the whole meal in my mouth. But I still […]
A dear son placed an image on social media, and his friend responded with words that gave glory to God and turned a drug addict into a Christ lover. His story still delights me each time I think about it. He was coming to church, but he was still struggling with addiction. He would leave the church to smoke his […]
There was a season in ministry that I would wake up in the middle of the night praying about the church. A whole lot that I could not place my finger on what was going on. As I prayed, I would pause, sigh, and sometimes groan. It was like a divided house. There was gossip also flying here and there. […]
