APPRECIATE CORRECTION

When I saw her writing on the wall with a crayon, I paused what I was doing and said to the beloved three-year-old, “You don’t write on the wall. You can write on paper”. She squeezed her face in protest. I was shocked. She then told me, “I will write on the wall”. When I saw she was insistent, I […]

APPRECIATE COUNSEL

I was in a meeting many years ago where a minister of the gospel who had been in the ministry for decades shared. He spoke about how the Lord taught him a major life lesson that brought a shift into his life and ministry.  I decided to practice what he mentioned. I also saw the difference in my life. I […]

APPRECIATE ACCOUNTABILITY

As we left the home of our beloved grandparents in the faith, my fiance (now my beloved wife) said that she had to answer a simple yet important question while she chatted in the kitchen with Grandma. Out of the blue, it came like a sharp sword: “Has he slept with you?” Irewamiri responded in the negative. Grandma said, “Tell […]

APPRECIATE “UNSPOKEN LESSONS”

I had an appointment to keep with my grandfather in the faith. It was the early days of ministry and one of my leaders in the ministry went with me. When he arrived, he met us at the lobby of the ministry secretariat. He beckoned, and we walked all the way to his office on the last floor. The young […]

APPRECIATE BOLDNESS

Just before the communion service finished, I had a prompt in my spirit to tell the church that we would be in our new building within the space of a month. We all knew the state of the building. It took some boldness and guts to make such an announcement, but I knew it was the Lord. I made the […]

APPRECIATE UNIQUENESS

A group of students in medical school were in one of their practical sessions. The consultant noticed one of his students holding the surgical instruments with such precision and expertise. Out of curiosity, he asked him, “Who taught you to hold the instruments?” All his mates chorused, “Congenital Surgeon.” He had watched his father perform surgeries for so many years […]

APPRECIATE AUTHENTICITY

For a while when I settled in the land of Eruwa for ministry, when friends reach out to find out where I am, I find a way to dodge the question or I simply give a general answer like, “I am somewhere in Oyo State”. When they say, “Is it Ibadan?”, my answer goes like, “Not too far from Ibadan”. […]

APPRECIATE ACCOUNTABILITY

A dear son in faith mentioned that as he was coming to see me that day, some thoughts were running through his mind. One of it was, “See how your wife wants to disgrace you. Why did she call to inform Dad of what you were struggling with”. His response to that thought made me proud but much more was […]

APPRECIATE YOUR PROCESS

As we walked out of the ultrasound scan room with a note of joy in our hands that we were expecting a baby, we walked into my childhood friend who is now a medical doctor. He was coming to share in the good news. After the initial excitement, he looked at my wife and said, “Ronke, on this journey of […]

APPRECIATE YOUR SEASON

A few months after I got into full-time ministry, I received a call from a dear brother who wanted me to join his train during his wedding ceremony. It was a role I would have loved to play with all joy. When I considered all it would take, I had to inform him that I would not be able to. […]
