Dear Friends I have a unique article today. Simple: I am inviting you to invest in properties in Lagos. It is not as impossible as you may think, and don't be dissuaded by 'negative news'. From my experience, rich people create a sense of 'impossiblities' and an ambiance of 'negativity' to create a dichotomy between them and perceived 'rivals'. You may wish to know that despite the economic downturns, there is a record increase of 'multi-millionaires in the world today more than ever! Here I list 7 reasons why I think the best time to move in to Lagos property investment is now. 1. In Lagos as in many other countries, properties value tend to appreciate faster than any other investment vehicles. The return on investment(roi) is fantastic. No wonder the prices of land are always rising. The demand for houses are always surpassing supply, and more people are property hunting either for building or for renting. 2. Someone said to me tha...

A friend of mine sent me a clip recently that I found really poignant. I reproduce it below: We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things That really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said, Because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today.. It wasn't our Anniversary or any other special day. Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like A nightmare, I couldn't believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and Bruised all over. I know he must be sorry cause he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today, and it wasn't mother's day or any other special day. Last night, he beat me up again:]xx , it was much worse than all the other Times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What About money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry Because he sent me flowers today... I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was ...

I was just musing on forgiveness one day and I posted the phrase in the title of this page on Facebook. Not surprisingly, a couple of my friends commented, and albeit most reasonably, that one can forgive, but may not forget, because the scar and the hurt at times bring with it memories etc. My take is simple: Forgiveness is complete when you forget. What do I mean by forgetting? Let us take a dictionary meaning of 'forget' my dictionary defines it as ''to cease or fail to remember' or 'to fail to think of; take no note of... and how about 'forgive' my dictionary states: 'to cease to feel resentment against. or 'to give up all claim on account of...debt or obligation. If we take time to muse over the two definitions, we would see that they both carry a common denomination: to cease. To cease means, to stop doing something. It is my conclusion therefore that before we can fully say that we have forgiven we must be able to say that we have...

Dear Friend, Over the years I have had several conversations with my father in the Lord, always wanting a clarification of why he does some things in the ministry or an interpretation of a scripture or an explanation of a Christian doctrine. I have found such conversations immensely beneficial in my life and ministry. Recently, I asked him again to help shine light on a couple of ministry decisions that I wanted to take, and I was blown away with his usual candour. I asked him to allow me to publish some of our conversations and he agreed! Below is an excerpt of some of our 'tough talk'. Enjoy. On what is the position with long time relationship known as common law marriage(no marriage, but couples are living together as husband and wife, and they are expecting a child) Bro Paul: 1. It is not good for children to be born out of wedlock. 2. Since marriage is God's idea, it is an earthly union with a heavenly sanction. The law can grant license, parents can grant conse...

On a Christian marrying an 'unbeliever' (generally with no faith or from a different faith)  or a  Pastor allowing or conducting such a marriage.  Bro Paul: No easy answer to this problem. It is quite clear in the Bible that: 1. We should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. As a believer I must not marry an unbeliever, if I want to enjoy God's...
