My first time away from home was when I got admitted to a State University in my mid-teen years. One day, I fell ill. Unfortunately, I was the only one around in my flat. As my temperature rose, I got scared. It was late in the night. But I remembered how my Mum never permitted sickness under her nose. There […]
Some time ago, I was away for a week-long meeting. The day I arrived was such a huge moment with Irewamiri and the children. Some hours later, I got an email from my wife. I was surprised. I read through it, and it highlighted the areas that she was grateful for in our marriage journey. She spoke about how great […]
It happened around Yaba in Lagos State. It was still a bit early in the morning. We parked, waiting to connect with someone. Then we saw the most unusual scene- it has not left my mind since then. We saw a man and a woman who wore the same attire driving by at speed in a car. The unusual thing […]
I shared the gospel that evening with a young man. After explaining what it meant to be born again, he then asked me, “Does it mean I will stop sleeping with the girls I sleep with now?” I responded in the positive. He said, “That would be very hard. I cannot stop that.” I told him Christ comes with the […]
At a point in my journey, I realized that I would have productive tasks to carry out, but once I pick up my phone, it takes a while before I settle back into focusing on what has to be done. It was getting so bad that my phone became the last thing I pressed at night and the first thing […]
There was a time when I needed to pull back and rest a bit. My body was already showing the signs of ‘I need you to slow down a bit and catch a rest,’ so I decided to take a rest. I made a discovery—the rest of a day or two suddenly dulled my spirit. I noticed I was not […]
My parents told a story about how my brother fell sick as a little boy. It was late in the night in Eruwa when they got a referral to the city of Ibadan. Dad would not take chances to wait till morning. They drove that night for almost two hours to get to the city. Why? Life was at stake. […]
As a secondary (high) school student, the session began with some amazing decisions. I would have new notes, a blue or black pen accompanied by a red one, and a ruler. The goal was to have a neat and complete note. Who was like me? It always started well. I would write the date in the top left corner. I […]
The first time I fell in love, I had some unforgettable moments. I had fallen head over heels. It became so bad that if I was heading to pray and the babe requested a meet-up, I would postpone my prayer time to see her. It was becoming a distraction. One day, while I was praying, I heard the Lord instruct […]
I stole meat from the pot as a young boy. It was quite bad that Mum had to start counting the pieces of meat in the stew. Like a genius, I adopted the slim-fitting pattern. I would take small portions off each chunk rather than steal a whole piece of meat at a go. The pieces of meat in the […]
