The Graveyard Is the Richest Place on Earth—
A Mother’s Day Sermon, a Book, and the Unlived Life Inside You By Agbeze Ireke Kalu Onuma, AI-KO View at Medium.com I wasn’t ready for the last ten minutes of the sermon. The preacher— our pastor’s wife, a mother—had already led us through Mothering Sunday, celebrating the women who poured themselves out for us, the ones who gave life and then kept giving.

What public figure do you disagree with the most? The Architecture of Quiet Decay By Agbeze Ireke Kalu Onuma, AI-KO View at Medium.com There is a particular quality to the silence that has settled over Nigeria — not the silence of peace [we have none], nor the silence of surrender [we have not yet as a nation], but the silence of a people who have learned that speaking sometimes costs more…

PROOF
“It’s your life that must change, not your cereal.” Friends, Let us speak plainly. Not in parables. Not in poetry. Not in the comfortable language of religious sentiment that allows you to nod your head without moving your feet. Let us speak in the language of a farmer examining a tree for fruit. Of a builder testing a foundation for cracks. Of a refiner looking at silver for the reflection of…

THE CEASING
“So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.” To the Traveler in the Midst of the Storm, Quiet your pulse. There is a frequency I want you to find, one that exists beneath the tectonic grind of your ambitions and the relentless static of your “Lekki-life.” You have spent years—perhaps decades—navigating the “Watchtowers” (2 Kings 17:9) of your own making. You have become an…

PRAYER
“This is why we pray for you continually, asking our God to empower you with inner strength to make you worthy of his divine calling. And we pray that by his power he will complete every good work that your faith desires to do.” My Child, Come close now. Not because I am far, but because you sometimes forget how near I am. Not because I am silent, but because the noise of your life has drowned…

You ask what I mean. You ask what I want. You ask what you must do. You quote the descriptor of my servant Barnabas: “He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith.” (Acts 11:24).
