Danielle has a pattern she would wake up very early. There are times that she would wake up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us, “Why should I be sleeping in the morning?” First, […]
We started out the year 2021 with a list of things that we desired to get done as a ministry. It was meant to be a normal year of trusting God for the seemingly normal things. But I developed a habit that year- I would wake up at night and praise the Lord. The scripture that drove it was: Delight […]
When we were done talking that day, he said to me, “Thank you for calling me sir. I have been feeling very far and I did not know what to do about it. This call has made a whole lot of difference.” A relationship is serviced by communication. If you are not intentional with communicating, you will realise that intimacy […]
In our former location, we had a neighbour who sold alcohol in a makeshift wooden structure. In the early days of ministry, it was obvious she did not want us as a neighbour. She would put on her grinding machine on a Sunday morning and make really loud noises. There were times she would start cooking and the aroma of […]
My Mum taught me this spiritual lesson with her life: Mum lost her sight many years ago. In the early days of losing her sight, she wanted to sit down in her office. It was a chair with two arms. She felt the arm of the chair to get the right spot but unfortunately, she forgot to touch the second […]
Many years back, I was visiting my uncle and aunt in the city of Lagos. They have amazing children. The youngest daughter was about four years old at the time. One evening, my aunt, her elder sister, and I were having an informal conversation in the girl’s room. My little niece stepped out of the restroom with a towel around […]
My dear teacher said, “When a person is moving, it is a seamless cooperation between the head and the body. That is a sign of good health. However, when the body begins to feel the weight of the head, there is already sickness in the system.” When you have a headache, for instance, the head becomes heavier. The entire system […]
On the journey to marriage, we had to embark on family visits. There were quite some opposing voices already. They had legitimate fears about our intention to get married. In the heat of it, we visited an elderly one. He did not mince words when he said to me, “Are you sure you will not be a liability to your […]
I was invited to speak in a meeting some years back. I was in the house of my host when he pointed to an artwork on the wall and said, “Your Dad and Mum gave me as a wedding gift. Those words are priceless. They shaped my value towards diligence.” At that moment, it struck me that “Can my children […]
I was driving that evening through some of the interesting areas of the city to catch up with an appointment with my spiritual father. The GPS already told me it will take me about an hour to get to him. Just some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space […]
