I was in my second year in the University as a law undergraduate. We had a course that was not too interesting – Nigeria Legal System. I tried my best to review that course daily. When we were to have our first test, some of my colleagues panicked. I did also. I had to choose between fellowship or studying for […]
Some time ago, I sat in the library as I spoke to a dear brother in the faith. I told him, “The whole matter concludes that ‘I am fighting a generational war that I must win’”. It was not a battle with demons or the devil. It was a battle for strength and inner will to stay on course in […]
I was sitting with an influential man and we were having a conversation. He made a profound statement while we spoke. He said, “No matter how much kingmakers like a man, once he is sick in one form or the other, it would be hard to make such sit on the throne. They will love him genuinely but his sickness […]
On the 4th of January, 1990, my mum was certified dead on a surgical table just before the procedure started (I have shared this story before but I desire someone’s faith to be strengthened today.

I was standing on the balcony of a school compound with a heavily pregnant woman. We were having a conversation. We saw another woman approaching who had just given birth. She was carrying her baby. They both greeted each other joyfully. The Holy Spirit asked me, “What are they both carrying?” I paused and answered, “Babies”. Then He asked again, […]
In the early years of ministry, I went to visit a dear family that I love dearly. Normally, when I visit as an undergraduate, it was certain that I would leave with some good money in my pocket. Do you know the way a broke student announces to his uncle or aunt the day he will be leaving? If he […]

When I laid down what I believe would be a friendly godly warning on the matter, the response I got shook me to my bones. He looked at me and […]
Just as the cry of my first baby hit the room, my heart took a deep breath of relief. The labour had lasted hours and birth procedures had taken its own extra time. Irewamiri had really tried.
