DO NOT LET THE MESS STOP YOU 

Some years ago, It was my cousin’s wedding. I was driving down from Iseyin to Ibadan that cool Saturday in October. I had an associate in ministry with me. Just a few kilometres from the wedding venue, I was pressed. I wanted to do the minor.  I found a convenient spot in a bushy area. I parked the vehicle and […]

THE DAY I LIED TO DADDY

While I was still living with my parents, I was heading to the office in the morning but could not find the car key. I searched for it everywhere to no avail. I had a prompt to check the car itself. I found it locked inside the car. I remembered that Dad had a spare key. I went to ask […]

STOP ENJOYING “STRANGE” ATTENTION 

I went to minister in a church some years back. I was in my final year at the University. I noticed that every time I looked in a particular direction, a young lady’s gaze was constantly on me.  After service, I was interacting with a small group of people in the church. I cannot remember whether she was there or […]

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO TEMPTATION

Some years ago, it was a season when I needed money. I left home to visit an uncle of mine who came into town. While with him, he stepped out for a bit. There was a huge sum of money on his bed. Do you know that strange thoughts began to come to me, “Why don’t you take a little […]

WHO CHALLENGES YOU ABOUT SEX?

Our very first visit as an intending couple to my Spiritual Parents was a tough time. The first question that my fiancée (as she then was) was asked made us heave a sigh of relief. The question was simple but profound, “Has he slept with you?” She responded in the negative. And the next thing was “Tell us now so […]

HOW TO MAKE YOUR JOURNEY LONGER

I was in my uncle’s house doing some work. I needed something from the church office. I called the office assistant to bring it to me. I gave him another instruction, “Please do not take the first turning to the left that we would normally take. Take the second turning to the left”.  It took him a while before he […]

TEARS CAN LEAD TO MORE TEARS

I was still a single Pastor. I was visiting one of my friends in the neighbourhood. It was easier to connect with other young graduates. That evening, her fiance called. The conversation got heated a bit. I guess he was questioning her about where she was, who was with her and the character of the person. We just met some […]

QUESTIONS THAT BRING LAUGHTER 

We were travelling through the city of Abeokuta. I had a dear mentor of mine with me and he reminded me of one of the memories I can not forget about the city:  I was an active participant in a quiz programme that airs every Sunday on the State Broadcasting Network. I made it to the final of the quiz […]

“IKU PO MI NU” (Death Vomited Me)

As we drove home, I asked Irewamiri, “Did you pick the lesson as he shared the testimony?” She said, “Yes I did”. There is a lesson I kept sharing for a while, “You do not fight thoughts with thoughts. You cancel and erase thoughts with words”. Someone dear to me was stuck in traffic and thoughts came to him, “What […]

“WHEN I WAS “TOASTING” YOU, WAS IT STRESSFUL?”

Some time ago, Irewamiri took a trip to Lagos. We got chatting when she was returning and I asked whether I should pick her up in Abeokuta. She asked me, “Would that not be too stressful?”. I did not know when I said to her, “When I was ‘toasting’ you, was it stressful?” It is so easy for the human […]
