HOW COPYING CAN LEAD TO LESS

Some time ago, we were in an appraisal meeting in the ministry- looking circumspectly at the vision and things that have driven it this far. We concluded that there were things we lost because we wanted to copy something else. We concluded that “We must be secure in our model”. One of the things you must pray for in life […]

GO BACK HOME AND GET DRUNK

Many years ago, my dad worked as a bank teller. At the close of the day, he had a huge deficit that he could not trace. Despite all he tried, he could not resolve it. He went home worried. He had a bottle of alcohol in his fridge. He was just a casual drinker. He would normally take sips. But […]

WHEN RESTING BECOMES DANGEROUS

There was a season when I thought I had worked a whole lot and I needed to take some rest. However, before I knew it, I was already moving from resting to indulgence. Devotion dropped. Sleeping increased. I was also getting lost in movies and social media. I kept saying, “I want to rest”. Rest is great. Rest might be […]

MATTRESS: HARD OR SOFT?

My wife has jokingly concluded that she will always ask “about to wed” lovers, “What type of mattress do you like?” Why? For a really long time, she endured waking up each day on our tall bed and high (and hard) mattress. I did not know what she was going through until she voiced out her aches. As a loving […]

I STRUGGLED IN ANOTHER MAN’S HOUSE

I was visiting with my sister and her family. At one point, there was a cut in the power supply. Some moments later, we had the sound that signified power had been restored. Interestingly, there was no supply in the house. We saw there was power in the neighbourhood but there was none in the house. She requested that I […]

SPICED VEGETABLES AND STRONG FRIENDS

Asides from plantain, I love good vegetables. I mean the one spiced with assorted meat and fish. Wow! But the combination of the two (plantain and vegetable is magical). On a visit, my wife and I were served this awesome plate of vegetable just as described above. Once my wife tasted it, she gave me a warning smile and said, […]

BROKEN PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE BROKEN HOMES

It was a Sunday morning and Irewamiri and I had a bit of a disagreement. In a bit to both drive home our points passionately, we seem not to be getting one another. Since I knew that I had to get early to church, I went in to prepare.  After some minutes, I told her I was heading to church […]

“I WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR”

In my younger days, if anyone asked about what I wanted to become, I had no hesitation in saying, “I wanted to become a Medical Doctor”. I grew up seeing our neighbour practise medicine in an inspiring way. His son, myself, and another childhood friend started observing medical procedures at very young ages- we were less than ten years.  I […]

WHAT I TOLD A POLICE OFFICER!

In the early days of ministry, I was driving into town and I was already late for our evening service. I was stopped at a police checkpoint. When the policeman asked me to introduce myself and asked about what I do, I reasoned I would not be delayed if I said I am a lawyer. I introduced myself as a […]

HOW WE GOT PEOPLE TO OUR WEDDING

We got married before Google Maps (or Global Positioning System) became a thing in Nigeria. I knew most people would travel through the lonely Ijebu-Ode, Epe to Ajah route for our wedding. Back then, it was difficult to describe that route. Some have testimonies of missing their way there. With the help of my childhood friend, Ayodele, we made a […]
