THE BLESSING OF UNUSUAL WITNESSES

When I received the call of God into ministry, there were at least two people that I was scared of seeing. I was not sure how they would respond when I mentioned the call to them. He was a visionary and a great intellectual.  I knew how much help he rendered when I wrote my final project on Taxation. He […]

DO NOT MISS YOUR PLACE

I discussed the call of God to ministry in and from Eruwa with a beloved one when the vision was brewing. He was of the opinion that I get a job in the city (either Lagos or Ibadan). He counselled that I could visit Eruwa for monthly outreach. When the vision in Eruwa becomes big enough, I can then move […]

WHEN THE CALL BECKONS

As I sat in my Dad’s green Nissan Primera that evening under the cashew trees in church, the Lord began to speak to me about my future. I picked up my journal and wrote eight things that about my life and journey as inspired by the Lord. I kept that moment and the encounters jealously. This was April 28, 2007. […]

WARNING SIGNS 6: “WHEN YOU EXCUSE WHAT YOUR SPIRIT CONDEMNS”

A beloved one reached out and said, “I should have done this two years ago. My heart has not been at peace but I would love to do it today”. He went ahead to apologise for an action of his that the Spirit of God had been dealing with him about. One of the warning signs you must never ignore […]

IF YOU WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY…

In my second year at the university, I woke up one night because I had a test in the morning. I picked up my books to read, and at that moment, it struck me like light: “Have you ever woken up to pray, study or fellowship with the Lord?” That day, I decided nothing would ever come before my devotion […]

THE “C”s THAT WILL HELP YOU (29)- COMPASSION 

My father, in the faith, shared with us about a time when they had a capital-building project they trusted the Lord for. When he took the matter to the Lord in prayers, the Lord told the ministry to build a church at a particular mission field. They obeyed.  The moment they finished building the church in the mission field, the […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (28)- COLLABORATION

One day, I was trying to reverse the car and accidentally got one of the tyres at the back into a drainage. I was stuck. I did not know what to do. Then someone showed up, an elderly man who had experience driving. He looked at the situation and requested that I pull out the car jack. Someone else fitted […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (27)- CREATIVITY 

During the economic crisis in the early 90s, when we had to cook with sawdust stoves and invent different things, we also had a shortage of supplies. However, as kids, we did not know. Mum would send us hunting for slightly ripe mangoes. She would cook vegetables, and when they were almost done, she would cut huge chunks of mangoes […]

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 […]

The “C” s THAT WILL HELP YOU (26)- COMMUNICATION

There was a season when Irewamiri and I had a particular issue that we always avoided talking about. The moment we began the conversation, we both knew it would likely lead to an argument. Once our conversation goes in that direction and it starts getting heated a bit, we would throw the issue under the carpet again. One day, it […]
