At a point on the journey of ministry, there was a situation that was hurting. I knew I could not stay in offence, but it was equally tough to express love. I was arriving in town, and I drove by the office of someone who had hurt me at a point. The Lord said to me, “Turn and bless him […]
When I got into ministry in Eruwa, there was one person I was scared of meeting. Why? I was not sure how he would take it when I told him that I had decided to abandon legal practice so I could serve the Lord full-time in ministry. Truly, I was scared. As destiny would have it, I ran into him […]
Some years ago, I called one of my beloved ones working in the ministry office to get me a sachet of milk. I handed over a thousand naira to him. He came back with the tiniest sachet of milk and plenty of change. I was shocked. I needed the bigger size that cost almost a thousand naira then. He also […]
After an amazing meeting, we had the opportunity of a heart-to-heart conversation with my Spiritual Father. We were there for over an hour. I knew it was an opportunity to learn. That was the night he said to me, “Do you know the Yoruba word for ‘Offense’? It is ‘Ikose’ which means stumbling. The consequence of stumbling is falling. Make […]
When the work of ministry began, I had the privilege of having a team of three people who showed commitment to the work. At one point, they got into different seasons of life, and two of them were the first to leave. They moved on to other matters in life. Some weeks later, the only person left also gave me […]

The best question of that night (in my honest opinion) was […]
I had a roommate during my first year at the university. He would stay on long phone calls and discuss very audibly. It was mostly conversations with his mum about vacation trips outside the country that he would not want to be forced to go to or an expensive gift a relative had sent him. We heard a lot of […]
Years ago, I had an appointment to keep with my grandfather in the faith. It was one of those days that I already knew would be a hectic day for him. At the waiting lounge, I decided to spend the time reading. After about two hours, it occurred to me that there was another minister of the gospel waiting also. […]
One of my fond childhood memories is of Daddy playing with us. It was always an exciting one. We would play mock boxing or even wrestling. Daddy would make a move like he was aiming for your face. As you attempt to block the face, his hand lands on your side. He would have a good laugh and say things […]
Irewamiri had gone for a camp meeting. I was home alone with the mighty seeds. We stepped out into the compound. The girls began to run challenging one another. I took advantage of the moment and shared a lesson with them. “Do you know that life is also a race? Do you know some people give up before the race […]
