Not Missing the Time of Your Visitation (Part 2)
During those days while I was learning faith for supplies was also the period when my wife-to-be was being wooed by another brother.Now, as at then, I hadn’t proposed but had arrived at this assurance that she was the one for me. We were friends, all was fine until the brother showed up. Now, the brother seemed to have all things going far better for him than I could boast of. First, he was pursuing his doctorate, worked at one of the best universities in Nigeria, was well-to-do, was a leader of great standing in the Christian community he fellowshipped at, and to crown it, he was from the same…

Not Missing The Time of Your Visitation (Part 1)
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes… because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19: 41-42, 44b) Years ago, while I sat for my final exams, I had another instructive episode that taught me about times of visitation. Our Father is gracious to plan our development in Him within the cycles of times and seasons. That’s why, for instance, He might be teaching you about healing while with another person, giving is…

Of Purity in Courtship and Marriage
Dearly beloved, As I thought about what to write to you today, the Lord brought two different matters to mind. One may seem to apply more to sisters and the other to brothers but in pondering much on them, it will be obvious that both are applicable to males and females. Courtship holds vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are sometimes overwhelming. Scriptures having told us that marriage is honourable in all and the bed undefiled, we know how important sexual purity is important for believers. There were days during my courtship with my wife when I was vulnerable. At times, terribly so. But there was a way Temi conducted herself that made…

Of Offenses, Apologies, and Reconciliation in Marriage
Many years ago, prior to marriage, I encountered the Cross of Jesus Christ. Zacharias Tanee Fomum, Watchman Nee, and T. Austin-Sparks were the most direct instruments by which I came into this experience. One of the things the Cross does is that it tears away the facades and gets at the root of all matters. It ensures you have a heart-deep faith that has no guile within it. It was at this point I first started learning to truly exercise myself daily to have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward man. Why? Because, with the Cross, one’s life is lived in the light just as God is…

Sombre Reflection as I Open a New Chapter of Life
In all honesty, I love birthdays. Every new year and at several times during the year, I check the weekday my birthday and that of loved ones falls on, just because. I am not one of those people that say they forgot their own birthday. I can’t even pretend to forget. In summary, today is my birthday, yippee! A new year, cake day! Birthdays are always worth celebrating. Not only celebrating, for me it is usually a time of reflection and a time to make some life-enhancing decisions. This year’s reflection is however dear to my heart as the world celebrates the life of Christian apologist, Pa Ravi Zacharias as…

Mothers know it all, Happy Mother’s Day
One time as toddler I had skin rashes, more like a break out. It was probably a reaction to something. Scared I ran to mummy, ‘Mummy see my skin’ After examining it, she said go have your bath with Tetmosol. I did. Amazed, I walked up to her days later… ‘Mummy, the rashes are gone.’ She smiled. ‘How did you know what I should use ?’ I asked. She said, ‘It is my job to know’ Mothers know a whole lot… The office of motherhood demands it. To all Mothers out there, for all you know, do for us and share with us. Thank you! Happy Mother’s Day
