"Tomorrow, if he supports the church with millions of dollars, anti-church people will ask how the church or the pastor got their money."
@Colinsuba wrote:
"In 2023, I had challenges with my business. My friend Patrick suggested that we go and see someone. We spent only about 20 minutes with Pastor Femi Paul at Oregun, Ikeja, and the rest is history. Have a pastor who helps you navigate life’s challenges. There is a reason for it."
@Chike R3 shared:
"He didn’t forget his roots. Nice one, Oba Femi, and thanks to Pastor Femi Paul and all of Grace Assembly."
@Excelmonifade commented:
"Someone is saying something about his pastor and church now, those anti-church guys will not say anything now. But the moment he donates money now, there will be outrage. May God continue to strengthen you bro. I love testimony like this."
