A young man narrated once how he had a friend who earned significantly less than him but would always invite him to the bar. His friend would order drinks and bring girls.

When I got into ministry in Eruwa, there was one person I was scared of meeting. Why? I was not sure how he would take it when I told him that I had decided to abandon legal practice so I could serve the Lord full-time in ministry. Truly, I was scared. As destiny would have it, I ran into him […]
Some years ago, I called one of my beloved ones working in the ministry office to get me a sachet of milk. I handed over a thousand naira to him. He came back with the tiniest sachet of milk and plenty of change. I was shocked. I needed the bigger size that cost almost a thousand naira then. He also […]
Years ago, I had an appointment to keep with my grandfather in the faith. It was one of those days that I already knew would be a hectic day for him.

A dear sister suffered heartbreak and found solace in the hands of a childhood friend who had been asking her out. She did not heal before committing to a new relationship. One day, she had a reason to visit her boyfriend – he was ‘sick’. She broke all her rules that day. She drank alcohol for the first time in […]
Some years ago, as we prepared for Sunday Service, I gave Irewamiri some money and I said, “Darling, this is all I have left aside our offering for today.
