On the day he responded to the call to give His life to Christ, he was the only one who came to the altar. A fellowship had invested so much to assemble a meeting, but only one soul responded. I imagine them telling themselves they could have done better in an appraisal meeting. Maybe they even expected more! But it […]
I was surprised when I saw that Olive was carried instead of her walking. Looking closely, she had slept off in class. When we got home, she was still sleepy. She attempted to walk but did not find her steps. The most interesting of things then happened: Danielle turned her back towards her and asked her sister to climb on […]
My daughter did not get to call me “Daddy” at first. There were times it sounded as though she was even calling me “Temi”. I would say call me daddy but nothing happened. We had cause to visit our friends in Lagos. She heard them call “Daddy”. That was all the change we needed. Everything we were struggling to make […]
While growing up, we had a neighbour who loved dogs. Their dogs became the neighbourhood dogs- it was everyone’s pet. We had Jack, and we had Jill. Jack had an amazing pattern. A few minutes to 4 pm every weekday, Jack would come to our door and wait- that was the hour my mum would leave for the church to […]
I was visiting with a young lady I just met. We both had a mutual friend. Of the neighbourhood’s scarcity of friends, finding someone to interact with was a solace. One such evening, she received a call from whom I later got to know as her boyfriend. It was an uncomfortable call. She burst into tears right afterward. By impulse, […]
Some years ago, I was witnessing to a colleague inside a restaurant. After I shared the gospel with him and asked if he would surrender his life to Christ, he threw a subtle punch at me, “Pastor, have you kissed before?” I said, “Yes, but I would not do it again till I am married.” Beloved, every Saint has a […]
I was born into a Christian Family. My mum was the evangelism coordinator of the church we attended. Dad served in the church also. Mum had a 4 p.m. hour of prayer at the Upper Room almost daily. I witnessed impartation and deliverance. She jokingly said once that someone informed her to stop conducting deliverance during my pregnancy so that […]
We enjoyed riding bicycles as children. Our neighbours had two different sizes. We would all converge and have some fun cycling. One evening, it had just finished raining, and we were cycling on the long corridor of their home. It was fun circling the pillars and showcasing skill. When it was the turn of a dear brother, he had bread […]
As we discussed a matter, Irewamiri said, “Darling, such matters do not spring up suddenly. They must have been fornicating as singles”. She was right! Most marriages that struggle with infidelity struggled earlier with self-control in courtship. You should be physically attracted to one another and with a desire to sleep with one another- that is part of God’s plan […]
There was a Sunday afternoon that issues just began to brew. Irewamiri and I did not seem to find our sync and rhythm. She even strolled from the house for some hours. We would normally resolve all matters, no matter what, before going to bed. That night, I pranked her, but it solved the matter. I told her that our […]
