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. Minutes later, they brought out my daughter and I was super excited to see her for the first time. But I looked at […]
After a very long day, my girls slept off in the living room. Since I knew we would move them to their rooms, I walked into their room to at least make it neat. I needed to lay both beds but I eventually did some shoddy thing in haste. That was when the Holy Spirit stepped in:“Are those girls queens?”, […]
She recounted to me that the Spirit of the Lord gave her an assignment that evening. The Lord asked her to write down everything she liked about me and everything she disliked about me. That was quite easy. Things she liked were listed and the ones she did not like were also listed. Top of her dislike was the fact […]
Sometimes ago, the devil fired an arrow of offence through a situation into my heart. One of the things he began to suggest was that “I should stop wasting my time following my Spiritual Father and my Trainers”. He suggested that I should focus on the work alone and not bother myself. It was a tough season. I entered into […]
We have a monthly couples hangout in our Local Assembly. One day, we asked ourselves what the first quarrel in our marriages was. Almost everyone had a challenge with communication in marriage in one form or the other. There were simply disagreements over what the spouse said or what the spouse meant.

As a young boy, we enjoyed growing up in a small town. It was a developing area so we were surrounded by trees. It was compulsory to wear rain boots once it is 7 pm. Why?

My mother in the faith shared a story with us: One day, she had taken quite some time to clean the living room. She stepped out for a moment to get some other things done. By the time she returned to the living room, her son (who was still a toddler) had scattered all she took time to clean up. […]
Church started when I was still single. I was 25 years old. In those early days, as much as I wanted to obey the Lord passionately, there were questions I could not answer. One day, I went to see a dear teacher in another city. It was a tough season. As I drove back to town, I was crying on […]
In the first year of marriage, Irewamiri and I had some disagreement that evening. I did not know it was going to linger that long. I apologised but she was not having it. She went into another room and stayed quietly there. I went to meet her to calm her again. As I held her hands, she kept pushing me […]
Some few days after marriage, the honeymoon was over and we were back to base. We had our second disagreement. The only thing I knew that evening after returning from work was that I was looking for my wife by my side and I did not see her. By the time I walked to her in the living room, she […]
