WHEN THE PIZZA DOES NOT COME

I woke up that morning still thinking of the Pizza. I had longed to have some pizza for a while- that is matured hunger and thirst for the taste of pizza.  I struck a deal with a friend coming to Eruwa. I followed up like it was a convert. My friend bought the pizza but guess what, she forgot it […]

WE TRUSTED THE G.P.S

We were visiting Lagos a while back and just as we approached Lagos, I engaged Google Maps. Even though we had been to that location several times, we did not want to rely on our personal experience.  Google Maps at a point said it had found a better route and asked if I would want the alternative. I accepted. It […]

“TEMI, TEMI”- THE CALL OF THE MAN I DID NOT RECOGNISE 

Irewamiri and I checked into a hotel on a trip out of town. We walked into the restaurant of the hotel to order a meal. Afterward, we went into our room. I remembered that I had to pick a thing from the vehicle.  As I stepped out, a man beckoned on me saying “Timi, Timi…” (He got the pronunciation of […]

“DARLING, LETS GO INSIDE”

We were having some bonding time outside the house. The weather was friendly and we were discussing. There were some artisans working on a site not too far from us. They began to use vulgar words and communicate with one another in an abusive manner.  I was not comfortable with the atmosphere but I was enduring it while we still […]

FAVOUR IS NOT JUST ABOUT YOUR WEDDING; IT IS ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE

A young family was spending some time with us that morning, and we got into a conversation about their home. As we were about to end the conversation, I had a prompt to say to them, “The favour you enjoyed was not because you wanted to get married. People were not giving you gifts because it was your wedding day. […]

HE WANTS THE BEST OF US 

Right after the service year, he got a great job in the same city. The job came with a Mercedes Benz Vboot and an official apartment. We all rejoiced. What a delight. About two years later, he began to have a prompt from the Lord to take the gospel to an unusual location.  A mission agency in one of the […]

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE THE ANSWER?

When I returned from service year and recounted to my parents that the Lord has called me into ministry full-time, it was initially a quiet drive around town as I narrated my encounters with the Lord.  The next day, my dad walked into the room and said to me, “I thought you were coming home to tell us that you […]

THE GREAT “COUNSEL” I DID NOT FOLLOW

The call of God into ministry in the land of Eruwa got clearer during my service year. I had shared with some people I respect and I had been counselled accordingly:  “Temi, there is no need of going to Eruwa immediately. You can live in Lagos or Ibadan. You practise as a lawyer or you pick up a job. You […]

THERE IS STILL HELP IN GOD 

During one of our ministry projects, we trusted the Lord for some money. The deadline was in forty-eight hours. I asked the procurement team to get ready after we had prayed about it.  I still laid before the Lord that night, committing it all to him. I danced and praised him. The first miracle was that I woke up later […]

YOU CAN LIVE ABOVE THAT WEAKNESS (AND SIN)

As a teenager, I had issues with laziness and procrastination. I would watch plates piled up in the kitchen and it would look like a mountain. I would run away wishing someone else would have done it before I got back. It was always still there.  I would pile up clothes for days. There were times that I would pick […]
