We were in the middle of a conversation. Irewamiri said something that got me angry, and I decided to hold my breath. She did not realize it, though. I walked away from the place where we were having the conversation. I paused and spoke these words to the Lord: “Lord, help me to choose the right response in the middle […]
One evening at the university, I was heading to our sports complex when I met a friend of mine. While discussing, she told me that she would spend the evening attending a mentoring vigil with some of her other friends. I smiled and told her these exact words: “Why are you guys jumping around?

I knew when my girls came in from school. They would come into my office and greet me before they went on to do any other thing that they needed to do. But I heard their voice when they arrived but did not see my girls come in to greet me. About an hour later, Danielle walked to my office. […]
We came back late from church that Sunday afternoon.

The account needed just about seven thousand naira more to make up for the required payments. I told those in the office to wait till noon. At about half past eleven in the morning, I picked up […]
After we got our first venue, we could only afford to pay for six months. We needed to renovate the property so it would be conducive for use. We had gotten quotations from artisans, and we were trusting the Lord for resources. That same day, my brother came into town from Ibadan. The interesting thing is that we met on […]
I took over my dad’s old shop. It had a front shop which I turned into a bookstore. It also had a back office which I used as a ministry office. It was a humble beginning indeed. I still wondered how someone or anyone who saw me in that space and accept to work in the ministry. I got back […]
The young man (an undergraduate) mentioned that he was surprised when he heard I was in Eruwa.
