A dear son in the faith got a birthday gift of an expensive bottle of perfume. He placed it on the table forgetting that his ten-month-old nephew was around. The baby got a grip of the bottle of expensive perfume, and you know the end of the story – the bottle broke and the fragrance that had been locked up […]
As we sat in the fuel station that evening, my dear friend, and brother looked at me and said, “Bro. Temi, you really hurt me”. I was shocked. He then went ahead to narrate the reasons why he has been so hurt. It was legit. I apologised. I did not know how much I messed up when I carried out […]
My parents told me the story of a health crisis that my brother had while he was still about a year old. They took him to the hospital in Eruwa, and the doctor referred him to the University College Hospital that night. My parents did not wait till morning. They began the journey that night because the life of a […]
My maternal grandpa came back and asked, “Anuoluwapo, did anyone check up on us while we were away?” That was when my senses woke up. I remember that while I was sleeping, an elderly couple came visiting and told me to tell my grandparents that they were back from the hospital. What was the consequence of my forgetfulness? First, my […]
We were preparing to head to church one morning. While waiting for my parents, our neighbour’s son and I played outside. He sat on the grassy drive-in. Behold, a tiny snake slithered just over his hands and found its way into the nearby thickness of flowers. He did not sit to explain. He jumped. We ran. It was scary. Beloved, […]
At a point, I realised that it was getting harder to wake up at night to pray. My schedule daily was heavy no doubt, but it was easier to press my phone than to stay in the place of prayer. When I discovered this pattern, I issued myself a warrant- I cut down on my meals at night. I ensured […]
I sat in the library as I spoke to a dear brother in the faith. I told him, “The whole matter concludes that ‘I am fighting a generational war that I must win’”. It was not a battle with demons or the devil. It was a battle for strength and inner will to stay faithful and on course in such […]
We were returning from a family trip. Irewamiri had some hot water in a flask for the children’s meal. As we checked in, the officer asked, “Do you have hot water in that flask?” We answered in the affirmative. He pointed out that we should use it for the meal before we go on board. He insisted we show him […]
I noticed that I had books that my friends had written that I had not taken time to read. Meanwhile, I had read a whole lot of other books. I told my wife, “I am focusing on the books my friends write for the next few days. I will finish all of them. How will my friends write, and I […]
I was reading a Christian literature. I was enjoying it so much that I took the book into the restroom that morning. As I read, I got to a portion of the book that had some quotations of Bible verses. The Bible excerpt was quite long. I skimmed through and skipped it so I could continue reading. The Lord saw […]
