In our former church location, we had a drinking site right beside the church. Around 7:30 am (WAT) one morning, I got to the office and saw a young man with a bottle of alcohol. I noticed he came with a boy that was about two years old that I suspected to be his son. I got angry in my […]
There was a rod that was on my car some years back. I think it was called ‘the stabilizing rod.’ There would be times I would be driving and would just hear the sound of clanging iron on the coal tar. The rod would give way without notice. I kept buying new ones. One day, my mechanic in town told […]
As a teenager and the son of a Pastor, every Sunday evening was dedicated to evangelism. We would normally go from house to house. We went to different parts of town. One evening, the only adult with us was not heading back to church because her house was close by. I and another teenager had to return to church. As we got […]
She posted a picture of a scantily cladded friend and wrote a tag underneath it- “Fire Everywhere”. I had to pick up my pastoral rod of care and correction when I saw it. It was firm talk. As a believer, what is worse than appearing ungodly is approving what is ungodly. It has become a trend where Christians become promoters […]
A set of seniors in secondary school decided to punish my friends and I. Unfortunately for them, we ran into a teacher that liked us when we were coming back from their classroom. We narrated what happened and he sent for them. He told them that we knew things that they did not know and they should never lay hands […]
My little niece was 4 years old then. I was having a chat with her mum and elder sister when she stepped out of the bathroom. She had a towel around her little body.Once she stepped into the room and saw me (I had not even noticed her presence), she said with her four-year voice but with the confidence of […]
My Pastor during my national youth service days used to be a lecturer of Anatomy at the university. He mentioned that there was a day he was teaching a class and one of the students asked a question that he could not answer at the moment. He told the class, “I am sorry. I do not have the answer to […]
We were visiting with “Egbon” (an elder brother in the faith and his wife) who are dear teachers to us. We had desired to go for a long while but eventually, we pushed and it happened. We had enough time to ask questions and discuss different issues. One of the days, he began to share experiences from their journey in […]
A doctor had to explain to a patient that a gangrenous foot had to be amputated. He told the patient what Jesus said “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be […]
I made my considerable share of mistakes as a young minister. They were flowing out of genuine passion that lacked guidance and accountability. Financial issues were a touchy ground for me both as a husband and as a pastor. There was a time I would use our personal money or Irewamiri’s money to settle ministry bills. It was a form […]
