WHEN THE REQUEST OF GOD IS HARD…

Just because we knew that the union between a full-time pastor (who was earning nothing) and a young lady who just finished her service year required foresight, we began to save as much as we could very early in courtship towards our wedding. After about four months, all we had in savings was about forty thousand naira. For us, it […]

“LOVED” OUT OF DIVINE PLAN

I read the story of a man who spotted lava that was about to break out into a butterfly. As he watched the process, he was moved with concern for the lava so he helped to break the shell. It turned out to be a beautiful butterfly but it had no wings to fly. In the process of helping it, […]

MAKE THE WAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

We went to check out some work on a project site. Danielle went out with us. First, we had to put on boots that could prevent our feet from harm. Second, we had to keep our eyes on Danielle to ensure she is safe always. At a point, while trying to make our way through some dry shrubs, I stepped […]

“AM I A BAD BOY?”

Sometimes in the early days of ministry, we were preparing for a major meeting. We worked late into the evening. Someone who has a car had given a ride to those who lived far from the church. There were just three of us left in the church- A Young Man, A young lady and I. The young man lived just […]

GLORIFIED IN MY WEAKNESS

In my first year at University, an elderly one came to pick me up from school. He began to complain that it had not rained in Eruwa for weeks and the farmers were not finding it funny. I told him with my loudmouth, “I am Temiloluwa Ola and wherever I go, the wetness of God follows me. That once I […]

“DON’T CARRY HIM. HE IS DIRTY”

As I got to the office that afternoon after stepping out a bit, a young baby ran towards me. He had been playing with sand all along. As he came towards me in my fully cladded formal attire, the grandma said, “Don’t carry him. He is very dirty”. I understood the grandma but the only response that came to my […]

“WE ARE NOT FRIENDS”

A few weeks after Irewamiri told me “Yes”, she went cold on me. She had come around to see me and we were to have some discussion. But as we had the conversation, I realised that she was not free with me. I asked her calmly what the issue was. She said to me, “You are not my friend”. She […]

WHAT HELP DID YOU REFUSE?

Olive picked up a top and tried wearing it. I approached her to help her and she began to say, “I can do it by myself”. I left her to it. After a moment of struggling, she began to cry and throw tantrums. She was struggling with it but could not get to wear it. She got frustrated and threw […]

BEFORE MORE… SAY THANK YOU FIRST!

Danielle had been with mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves) and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts of […]

LIVE AS YOUR HELP HAS COME

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?”, […]
