“God loves you,” I say, as I hand over a printed pamphlet containing my testimony to a young child on the street. Her mother snatches the paper from her hands and slams it back into mine, fury on her face. “You should be ashamed of yourself!” Just as […]
That Saturday, I took Angela and Lucy to visit with my mother in Boston. It’s a trip we haven’t taken in many years. I had stayed away after Lucy’s birth, unable to understand nor stand my mother’s continued faith in God. But now, I longed to see her. […]
I’ve come to the realisation that I am disloyal. I understand that that is not an admirable trait. People, families, organisations and societies like people who are loyal. Who stay in line and defend the image of the people they represent, no matter what. Nobody likes a traitor. […]
He says, “judge not, unless you be judged,” (Matt 7:1) yet He judges us. He says, “do not repay evil with evil, but repay evil with good,” (Rom 12:17-21) yet He devises and proclaims evil for those He has judged as deserving. As a Christian, I can understand […]
I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah, and it’s filled with God’s proclamation of judgement, not only on the Israelites, but on other nations like Moab, Babylon, and Egypt. As I’ve been reading it, I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of times God said He planned evil for […]
I wake up to consciousness. All around me is fire, but it doesn’t burn. The strangest thing. There are many people around. Some of them are crying and screaming. I turn to look at what they are all looking at. It is my car. It is ablaze in […]
Michael took a late afternoon flight from Los Angeles on Tuesday and, with a short stopover at Amsterdam, arrived on Wednesday evening at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos. It was the most convenient and fastest return route he could take, as he couldn’t get a direct flight […]

THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! Lola and Bolu saw Temi and Oyinda after the service and went to greet them. They’d both been blessed by the message, which reminded them of the importance of guarding their hearts and caring deeply for one another. They were reminded to be […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! Come on, come on, pick up! Jamie waited impatiently for his brother to pick up the phone. Jimmy finally did. “Look, there’s something wrong with Adania!” “What is it?!” “I don’t know… She’s been so gloomy and depressed since I got here, and […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! “Ma’am, where do we put this?” one of the men delivering Cindy’s deep freezer asked. “Over by that wall please,” she replied. She moved aside for them to manoeuvre the appliance and watched as they also installed the oven too. One of them […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! “I’m done with the shower now,” Bolu said, his eyes shifting about looking for something else to fix. “Now it pours hot and cold.” “Thanks, Mr Handyman,” Lola replied, cheekily. Bolu smiled, feeling chuffed with himself. For the last two days, he’d found […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! Temi rose early to pick up her kids from her sister’s place and dropped them at their nursery, before heading to work on Monday. Just as she arrived at the office, her phone began to ring. It was an unknown caller, and she […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! So many thoughts were running through Temi’s mind as she returned to join her group for the journey home. She saw Oyinda’s smile and felt his warm touch on her arm as he assisted her into the back seat, but she couldn’t return […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! The couples met again for the last talk at 5 pm that Sunday. By then, the atmosphere was pleasant and joyous all around. Most of the couples had reconciled, and the only ones remaining were well on their way to resolution. It had […]
I hear a sound in the distance. It’s dull at first, and then becomes sharper, piercing through my brain until my eyes open. I open them wide, as I take in my surroundings. Where am I now? The ceiling looks very familiar. I turn my head sharply to […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! When they were done with their brunch, Danny asked who was interested in a game of tennis. He’d been keen to play since he got to the resort, but they’d had other priorities then. Now, they’d gotten the benefit for which they came, […]
We were immediately flooded with light; indescribable brilliance. And I knew I was in the presence of God. I was temporarily blinded by the light until my eyes adjusted to the brightness of it. Pretty soon, I could identify moving bodies and structures in the distance. The light […]
THIS EPISODE IS NOW LIVE! The pastor’s message today had been about “The Stone The Builders Rejected”; Jesus Christ. Jimmy had paid rapt attention to the teaching, which had cemented together some of the things he had been studying on his own about Jesus and the Faith He […]
