HOW WE GOT PEOPLE TO OUR WEDDING

We got married before Google Maps (or Global Positioning System) became a thing in Nigeria. I knew most people would travel through the lonely Ijebu-Ode, Epe to Ajah route for our wedding. Back then, it was difficult to describe that route. Some have testimonies of missing their way there. With the help of my childhood friend, Ayodele, we made a […]

JUMPING TREES

A young man came to me once after one of our services. He said that he felt led to be a member of the church. He said, “It was the Spirit that led me to come here this morning. As a matter of fact, I left my church to come”. I thanked God for his life but then asked him, […]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Irewamiri stepped out. Danielle stepped out also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]

THAT MISTAKE IS NOT THE END!

Danielle woke up in the middle of the night while I worked. After a while, she mentioned that she was hungry. There was a cup of beverage that Olive only took a sip out of some hours earlier. I offered that to her. As she drank, she wanted to move her leg and it all poured away. It pained me […]

THE VOICES IN THE CROWD

It had been a pretty tough and rough weekend- I was emotionally down in those early days of ministry. I locked myself up in my room to just lean in on God for a restoration of my strength.  Just some few hours later, there was a knock on my door and a voice saying, “Mummy is calling you. Bishop _____ […]

HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE GROWING (VII)

When I got her text message recounting some of the moments she had been through in her life’s journey, I rolled over from the bed to the floor and burst into tears. Rather than feel disgusted, the love in my heart skyrocketed to an amazingly great level. Love is not pity. Love is proof that you have encountered the resurrection […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (VI)

In 2013, I was on the bus returning from Uyo to Ibadan. A corp member sat by my side. We began to talk. Then she began to talk about an organisation called TOUCH. She said glowing things about the person who started it as she was told. I asked for the name of the person who started it. She said, […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (V)

As the doctor treated the bullet wound on my back, he said to me “You will feel a small bite on your back soon. Endure the pain. We will be close to finishing the stitching”. I felt the small bite but let out a deep groan. It was painful but I knew it will soon be over. One of the […]

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL?

I woke up at night and realised that water had stopped running. The normal thing to do was to get to pump water but there were two challenges: First, there was no power supply. Second, there was no fuel in the generator. We ran out of fuel the previous evening. Night seasons come in life’s journey and you must be […]

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GROWING (IV)

I kept telling Danielle not to scatter the pack. Well! She did a clinical finishing of dismantling the pack and all the contents. Just when she was done, I asked her to begin to arrange all that she scattered. She looked at me soberly. She did not know what to do. Friends, it takes more effort to build than it […]
