As was their weekly custom, Bolu and Lola attended Church together on this first Sunday of April. They sat in their usual seats, and greeted their regular neighbours. Pastor Kunle Ogunbanjo preached about the Cross of the Disciple, following on from last week’s Easter theme. It was a powerful […]
Bimbo Adetayo stayed up to wait for her son to return from his work. Lola had prepared the spare room for her mother-in-law before going to bed at 10pm. She’d packed up the food and kept Bolu’s in the microwave. Bolu came home to find his mother snoring […]
Danny chose a table by the poolside, which had a lovely view of the lagoon. He pulled a seat out for Lola, and she sat down without making a fuss. She’d observed how he had been greeted and how they had been treated on entry into the hotel, […]
Daniel Akunne was a man expert at getting what he wanted. With each new triumph, his confidence and skills grew. He had learnt early the virtue of patience and the art of cunning, and was resourceful in making the best use of all the gifts God had blessed him […]
Bolu Adetayo sat at his office desk, pondering on the new case they had discussed at the morning meeting. It was right up his alley, and he knew that it was just the kind of case he needed to boost his confidence again. But when the Principal Partner, Mr […]
It was a hot, sunny day in April, and the wind sent a gentle breeze into Lola Adetayo’s small office at Da-Vyne Interiors. She smiled as it brushed and cooled her warm face. She was compiling a new catalogue for the company, to showcase their latest collection to their […]
Lola was home alone again. It was 10pm at night and Bolu was not yet back from work. The food she had prepared for dinner at 8 O’Clock was well and truly cold by now. At nine, she’d given up the wait, and decided to have her dinner […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]
Nothing takes the romance out of a relationship quite like having a baby! Whether or not you are prepared for it or desirous of it, the toll of having a new-born is multidimensional. Aside the fact that being pregnant and enduring labour does things to a woman’s self-image […]
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in Heaven” (Matt 5:16). Lord, I live in a world where people hate the light, and aggressively seek to put it out. In this world, it takes courage […]
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Rev 3:16). Oh, not them again! Jeez, they just got saved yesterday and now they want to judge us?! All that silly talk about Holy Spirit and miracles… God […]
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked this question by a reader. I don’t know what it was relating to, because that was all they wrote in their email. And it seems simple enough to answer “Yes” or “No”. But I think it’s a little more tricky, […]
Can you believe in one and believe in the other too? I believe so. They actually both work together for the glory of God. One is God’s calling and empowerment, and the other is our choice and will-power. The Bible says: “And we know that all things work […]
I am still reading Bill Weise’s book on “Hell”, and I’m in Part Two now. I’m in the first chapter, where he tries to give an overview of why God created the world, man and everything. He talked about God creating the tree of knowledge of good and […]
