THERE IS NO GROWTH WITHOUT A PLAN

In the year 2012, I decided to spend my third Saturday every year in a mini-retreat. I would leave the house as early as 6 am and return at about 1 pm. I would not consider an invitation that fell on the third Saturday of the month. I would rather be in retreat, and not anywhere else. During that season, […]

THERE IS NO GROWTH WITHOUT A ROUTINE

We were getting the girls set one morning when Danielle said, “It has been a while since we had devotion in this house. Daddy, why?” I did not know how to respond. I simply said, “We will resume family devotion tomorrow”.  The truth was, we had gotten so soaked in activities that made us abandon our routine. We no longer […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (30)- CREDIBILITY

At another time, someone shared that when anyone heard that my Dad was serving on the board of a financial institution, they were more willing to invest. Beloved, never joke with your credibility. Credibility is goodwill. Credibility is the blessing of a good name. There are names that open doors. There are names that close doors. No matter how powerful […]

THE “C”s THAT WILL HELP YOU (29)- COMPASSION 

My father, in the faith, shared with us about a time when they had a capital-building project they trusted the Lord for. When he took the matter to the Lord in prayers, the Lord told the ministry to build a church at a particular mission field. They obeyed.  The moment they finished building the church in the mission field, the […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (28)- COLLABORATION

One day, I was trying to reverse the car and accidentally got one of the tyres at the back into a drainage. I was stuck. I did not know what to do. Then someone showed up, an elderly man who had experience driving. He looked at the situation and requested that I pull out the car jack. Someone else fitted […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (27)- CREATIVITY 

During the economic crisis in the early 90s, when we had to cook with sawdust stoves and invent different things, we also had a shortage of supplies. However, as kids, we did not know. Mum would send us hunting for slightly ripe mangoes. She would cook vegetables, and when they were almost done, she would cut huge chunks of mangoes […]

BEFORE MORE… SAY THANK YOU FIRST!

Danielle had been with Mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves), and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts of […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (26)- COMMUNICATION

There was a season when Irewamiri and I had a particular issue that we always avoided talking about. The moment we began the conversation, we both knew it would likely lead to an argument. Once our conversation goes in that direction and it starts getting heated a bit, we would throw the issue under the carpet again. One day, it […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (25)- CHRIST

I was born into a Christian home. It did not take too long to realise that being born in a God-fearing does not automatically make you God-fearing. Lust began to tug at my soul. It was such a strong pull that almost tore my teenage years apart. It began with getting junk into my imaginative young man. I would and […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (24)- CONFESSION

My little one was at a stage where her vocabulary was beginning to grow. She would say at times the exact opposite of what you are saying. We have to start speech culturing. When you say “You are a fine girl”. She can say, “I am not a fine girl”. We kept educating and correcting her. One evening, we were […]
