My father, in the faith, shared with us about a time when they had a capital-building project they trusted the Lord for. When he took the matter to the Lord in prayers, the Lord told the ministry to build a church at a particular mission field. They obeyed. The moment they finished building the church in the mission field, the […]
One day, I was trying to reverse the car and accidentally got one of the tyres at the back into a drainage. I was stuck. I did not know what to do. Then someone showed up, an elderly man who had experience driving. He looked at the situation and requested that I pull out the car jack. Someone else fitted […]
During the economic crisis in the early 90s, when we had to cook with sawdust stoves and invent different things, we also had a shortage of supplies. However, as kids, we did not know. Mum would send us hunting for slightly ripe mangoes. She would cook vegetables, and when they were almost done, she would cut huge chunks of mangoes […]
Danielle had been with Mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves), and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts of […]
There was a season when Irewamiri and I had a particular issue that we always avoided talking about. The moment we began the conversation, we both knew it would likely lead to an argument.

My little one was at a stage where her vocabulary was beginning to grow. She would say at times the exact opposite of what you are saying. We have to start speech culturing. When you say “You are a fine girl”. She can say, “I am not a fine girl”. We kept educating and correcting her. One evening, we were […]
A group of missionaries went to preach the gospel in a village many years ago. Halfway into the first day of their outreach, the entire village was in tears of joy and there was a revival. The missionaries felt it was too easy to get the entire village saved, so they began to ask questions. The villagers had a powerful […]
I have a dear son in the faith who is an artisan also. He does a great job in tiling and plumbing. He has some knowledge of electrical work also. He is a utility worker. I called him one day and told him to change the way he dresses and how he appears after work. He must never appear like […]
A dear friend used a powerful illustration once: If you have two bowls that look similar- you use one in the kitchen and another in the restroom. Then one day, you had a visitor who did not know the difference. You just met the two bowls in the kitchen. You are not sure of the one for the kitchen nor […]
