The first time he visited her church. It was a prayer meeting and at a point, they were requested to bring out water so it could be used as a point of contact in prayer. He was not too comfortable with it so he did not respond to her “kind” gesture of having a bottle of water. The wife-to-be noticed […]
As the young man spoke with me, I could count the number of times that he said to me, “Papa told me…”. He repeated it so much that I had to ask him, “Who is Papa?” He then mentioned that he meant God. As much as I believe in the importance of a believer hearing God, it becomes a thing […]
When she saw all the red flags that were so visible all over the union, the pastor called the young lady who sought counselling and told her truthfully with love, “If you are to be my own daughter, I would tell you that the young man is not prepared for marriage. He has a lot of growing up to still […]
We holidayed quite a lot with my late grandpa. We would spend days there alongside our cousins. It was always loaded with fun.

I had reasons to interact with the executives of a Christian Youth Organization. One thing led to the other and I got to know that one of the females has a pattern of housing her fiance whenever he comes around. I was in shock.

That evening, my Dad got a call from one of our neighbours. He asked Dad to come over with a stick to his house. We went over armed with sticks and a good light source. There was no time for pleasantries. He called from his kitchen, “Please come in here”. A snake was hiding under the sink. He knew that […]
About eight years ago, I was preaching in the city of Calabar. I heard the choir take a song that I fell in love with- “Your presence is like Heaven to me”. I wish I had the song, but it lodged in my spirit that day. They sang just before I ministered that night. Shockingly, while praying early the next […]
I was trying to move some things from the bedside study table. As I flipped the cover of my Bible open, I did not realize that my wristwatch was on it. The next thing I heard was the sound of an impact of something hitting the floor. When I checked, it was my wristwatch. My heart skipped a bit. When […]
Anytime the girls are at the table, you will likely hear things like, “I finished before you”, “I finished first” or a line that shows competition.
