WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WILL HAPPEN

Some years ago, we were preparing for our annual convention. We had a budget of a hundred and eighty thousand naira (180,000) but we had just about ten percent of that amount. The week before the convention, the pressure of “How will it be?” began to rise. I did not say a word to anyone in the ministry. We simply […]

THANKSGIVING BRIDGES THE GAP

During my service year, I came back from a speaking engagement and I knew I had to say thank you to a dear sister of mine. At that point, she was doing a series on Facebook titled “Purity Series”. She had a group of teachers write on different areas of purity. At the speaking engagement, I was asked a question. […]

THE INITIAL CHEAPER OPTIONS

Christmas and chicken are like five and six. Every time Mum is done frying the chicken, the temptation begins. Well! I lost many times. I would bite out of the chicken. But whenever mum discovers, I end up losing what she would have given me. One of the tactics that the devil deploys in life is to offer to people […]

SIGNS OF AN UNTRAINED MAN (2)

The moment I drove in, my girls ran to me. I was holding a small nylon. The first thing they began to do was to ask, “Daddy, what is this?” I refused to answer. Then I said to them, “Greet me first”. Afterwards, I responded.  There are other times that they would begin to search for any package that was […]

SIGNS OF AN UNTRAINED MAN 

As young boys, we had a yearly routine. On the first of January, my friends and I would begin a trip of visiting friends. We would go all evening from one place to the other. We would get back later in the night. It was all a day dedicated to drinking, eating, and catching up with friends.  One year, just […]

DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU ARE ANGRY

We were in the middle of a conversation. Irewamiri said something that got me angry and I decided to hold my breath. She did not realise it though. I walked away from the place where we were having the conversation. I paused and spoke these words to the Lord: “Lord, help me to choose the right response in the middle […]

LORD, I CAN NOT WEAR THIS SHIRT

The Lord had shown me that Irewamiri was going to be my wife. One evening, I wanted to visit after work hours. I went home first to at least have a bath and change my clothes. As I pulled a shirt out of the wardrobe, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Wear that shirt”. My response was sharp, “Lord, I […]

SOLUTIONS THAT LEAVE GREATER DAMAGES 

Once I concluded the tests, the Doctor said she wanted to see my glasses. I would not know what she looked for but they said to me with so much confidence, “You took these glasses from the roadside”. I could not lie. She added, “Do you have frontal aches after a while wearing it?” I had to admit it was […]

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE TIRED?

A dear mother was recuperating. She needed to have some break from the routine of ministry. She went to stay in a new area. In about a month, she had started a children’s Bible club- leading young ones to Christ! She was also already visiting villages in that area sharing the gospel of Christ. One question struck me- What do […]

PREGNANCY WILL CHANGE YOUR TASTE

Whenever we step out of our house, we would always see an array of snails at various points on the fence of the house and in other areas of the estate. Iremawiri began to keep some really big snails. She did so well that she inspired my parents to build a snailery in their compound.  Then she got pregnant and […]
