When I was heading for National Service in Akwa-Ibom State, I got connected to a family friend whom I had not seen in years. I told him I would call once I got to Akwa-Ibom. When I landed in Akwa-Ibom, I boarded a taxi to camp. I called him from the taxi. Guess what! He was on the same flight […]
I still remember the spot where I was standing when a dear brother called me to inform me that he impregnated a young lady. I froze. He said, “I am sorry. I have disappointed everybody”. My response to him was simple, “I love you brother. You will come out stronger”. He wondered why I responded that way. I told him […]
It was the long vacation during our days in secondary school. My dad sent home one of his assistants to get him a new shirt. My curious mind would not let him go without an explanation about why my dad needed a new shirt at work. He explained to me. When Dad returned, I was waiting for him with a […]
She recounted how she walked into her bathroom and took several showers hoping hard that the stings of condemnation could be washed away. She wished that the stain of guilt could be removed. It was a tough one. When the nurse told her to look at the screen to pick the heartbeat of the baby, she could not! She said, […]
I was eating in the canteen in my faculty many years ago. One of my colleagues who had issues with me walked in and made a very strong statement.

As you walk into my office, right behind my desk, there is a quote from the book, “Finishing Strong” hanging right on the wall. Written on it are these words, “Hold fast to Jesus. It is a long way from where you are to where you are going, and the devil is not in a hurry to get you”. (Paraphrased) […]
Many years ago, just after I encountered Christ, an older brother mentioned that he was coming to our house, and he met a young lady on the way. When he asked her why she was not going to our place, she responded, “There is no one around”. He then mentioned that I was back from school. She told him, “It […]
A dear father in the faith who happened to be a widower was being chased actively by a female friend. One day, amid rising pressure, he walked to his brother in the faith and said, “I am going to so and so person’s house to commit adultery.” The brother and himself laughed. That was the end of the trouble. Even […]
Some years ago, a young lady walked into the church, and I gave her a warm hug. Right after I hugged her, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Why did you hug her?” (By the way, when the Holy Spirit asks a question, the answer flashes right before you in a moment) It struck me immediately that the moment I saw […]
There was a time when we had quite a few ladies in our home. I had to call Irewamiri at a point to kindly save me from ‘accidental visual assault’. I cannot be stumbling into and seeing things I am not meant to see. It took sincerity to have that conversation. It is better to be vulnerable and stand than […]
