A dear teacher shared a story once: Some years ago, he was in the queue at his bank to withdraw from the Automated Teller Machine. The Holy Spirit told him to go to another bank to withdraw the money. It felt weird. First, the other bank would mean extra charges. Second, he would have to join another queue again. He […]
Recently, Dad reminded me of something very unique and reassuring: He used to drive a Nissan Primera. He would normally park the car under a cashew tree in front of the house. One evening, it was quite stormy. It did not occur to any of us that he should move the car. When we woke up, we saw what amazed […]
It was a season of many questions that I could not answer. I was still a young single pastor trying to find my way in the first few months of planting my feet in Eruwa. I stayed indoors and cried trying my best to pull through the season. But God is merciful. He will never leave us without a witness. […]
In the second year of ministry, we needed to formalize a process. We had spent quite some money and we awaited a positive response. We waited and heard nothing. After a while, I got a message that we have to start all over again. I was broken. I knew how valuable the money of God’s people is. It pained me. […]
In our first year in marriage and my third year in ministry, I woke up on a Sunday morning and focused on the morning routine just before service. After I had fully dressed, I suddenly became discouraged. It was so bad that I told Irewamiri that I was not going to church that morning. I could not place a finger on what […]
As I returned from work that evening, I spotted my neighbours (doctors) in front of their house. Instead of driving home, I drove to the front of their apartment which had a little slope. I got out of the car and began to gist with my neighbours. In the middle of our conversation, I saw the car descending the slope. […]
During my university days, a dear brother met one of the young ladies who was a friend of mine (those undefined friendships) and asked her if she was not going to Pastor’s house (my parents were pastors). She first responded by telling him that no one was around except Dad and Mum. He then mentioned that “Temi is back now”. […]
Throughout the meeting, as my Spiritual Father taught us and led us to pray, I could see that he was a bit tired. He had been on a national tour leading a prayer movement. It was a hectic season. Just before we wrapped up the meeting. I went to fetch my chequebook and wrote him a token. As I handed […]
A childhood friend and I fought back in our secondary school days. It got a bit tough. He had the physical might and I had the mouth. I used my mouth. I abused him that he got home and told his mum what I said. His mum visited my parents that night and said, “Even if Temi and my son […]
We named our second daughter, Ayoigbala (The Joy of Salvation). My parents named her “Ibukunoluwa” (The Blessing of the Lord). We nicknamed her Olive. Our dear grandfather in the faith named her “Dorcas”. For a long time, a lot of people would call her by either of the first two names or by her pet name. Suddenly, we noticed that […]
