Previously..Femi."If you ever want to reach out to me that's my card" he said while holding out a business card to me.I took it and it said "Emmanuel Iren, Pastor, Apostle, Speaker, Singer-Songwriter, Lead Pastor Celebration Church International.""It warms my heart that you want me to have this kind of access to you. I know you don't give it out any how" I said."Well no I don't even though I'd much rather have everyone having access to me. My Instagram is always open to everyone though. I reply almost all direct messages I get but my number is just for people who I want to be able to reach me at will. In this instance, that's you." He said.I knew this man. He was dragged almost every week on Twitter sometimes because of his teachings or his threads or when he said that he would like for social media to be sensored which was actually a very valid point but people always got defensive because of his tweet. He was very audacious online and he would never let anyone bully him. I tho

Previously....Femi."Um so I got there and I met Seun...""That goat." She said smiling."You know him?" I asked."Know him? Everyone knows him. He's like the personal handbag of Pastey. You'll see him hover around him like fly every time. Pastey loves him too much." She said."Oh wow no wonder I saw him in the church by this time of the night." I said."Yeah. He goes to covenant. Pastey is paying his fees there. Because of Pastey he can leave any time he wants from the school. The school does not allow that normally but Bishop David loves Pastey so he allows Seun out of the school. He can come and go as he pleases even though it's not exactly allowed. You're aware. He helps Pastey and that's because he wants to. Pastey would rather he remains in school after all, Pastor David is there to help him." She said."This is really eye opening about the dynamics and it really just showed me how amazing he is. Why is he paying for Seun's schooling?" I asked. I was curious about that because

Previously...Femi.Ama's relationship with Kola had really changed. I was very surprised that Kola asked for Ama first when he got better and we were able to go into the room to see him. They now talked, laughed and gusted about everything that sometimes I felt like I was third wheeling them.Today was Sunday and we were supposed to Celebration Church today. Ama also was getting discharged today so we tried to get them to discharge her wary so that we could meet up for the service which was at 9 am.I had called Pastor Iren during the week and he asked me to come to the church and see him after service. It was important that I did that today. I decided to have the church experience as well as Ama wouldn't shut up about how blessed and amazing the worship was so I decided to go. I could have easily decided to wait till noon when the service would end and then go but it didn't seem right anyways.Ama was already ready to go to church. She was in Kola's room waiting for me to finalize w

Previously…Ama.Pastey sat and told us to sit."You are most welcome to my office. What would you like praytell. I have juice, soft drinks, wine, water..." "Water is fine." I said."Babe what do you want?" I asked Femi."Yeah water as well." He said."I will give you water but I'm packaging wine for you to take home. Non-Alcoholic by the way." He said smiling and stood up, went to his fridge and brought out the water for the both of us dropping it in front of us."So, you are Amarachi, Ama I presume by that shiny ring you've got there. Femi, you actually did a very good job. You got this from Cartier or boz which one." He said.I chuckled and so did Femi. "Cartier sir. Thanks so much for that compliment." He said."Oh anytime, anytime. You found yourself a good one. Amarachi I didn't know you would come with him. Thought you'd still be resting in regards to what happened to you." Pastor Iren asked me,"Well, I kind of healed a lot faster than the doctors thought I would so they dis

Previously…Femi.I looked at Ama and she grinned. The fact that she didn’t even know I was the owner. He didn’t know as well, I planned to give him for a cheap price. Cheaper than normal real estate was but pricey enough for me to get some profit out of it. This may have been the reason why God showed me to him. For me to give him a headquarter church. I was glad that I was getting to contribute what I had to the gospel.“Okay wow, thank you sir.” I said.“Stop with all this sir sir sir. Just call me Pastey alright? I’m not that old o.” He said.“Okay Pastey. Thank you so much for um the consideration.” I said.“Thank your fiancee Amarachi. She’s the one who just convinced me. Like she said, if we have the money we can just buy outrightly instead of building it ourselves and losing money in the process. Building will take years to complete and we would still have to pay an exorbitant rent here. So yes, I would have to agree with buying outright.” Pastey said.I looked at my fiancée

Previously…Ama."Okay so, this is the reception area. Lobby, if you will. All my properties which I built myself which is well, all of them have lobbies. Residentials have waiting rooms and so on. I don't believe everyone should have access to your house but that's just me. So this place can be where people can register as first timers, searches can happen. First aid team, protocol, welcome team. All that can happen here." He said."Wow nice, right babe?" Pastey said as he looked lovingly at his wife. I smiled at them. Their love was very cute and real."Yes, perfect. Let's see the auditorium." She said.I just stood silently as Femi showed us around."We will go to the auditorium but first, let's see backstage." Femi said and opened the door behind. It lead us to a big space that was covered in cloth. Very dusty. "This is backstage for rehearsals, warm ups, preparations. Basically for your concerts. This place would be very useful for that. Your choir will be able to pray, do warm

Previously...Femi."This is perfect!" He said "You know God gave me this dream of me preaching in this very arena. That was when i started having the vision of buying this kind of place but there was just not any structure like this. The only one that came close was Terra Kulture and we can't even get that except Terra Kulture says today that they aren't going to be in business anymore. Little did I know that God had a better plan in mind. He just spoke to me and said just three words to me... This is it" Pastor Iren said.It really struck a cord in my heart, his words. I was awestruck that I was part of God's plan for the church. I sighed "I am glad that God is approving of this place.""Yes so let's just go back to the office and talk further. Prices and all what not. We are getting this place." He said grinning."Woo hoo" Seun hailed."Yes!" Pastor Iren shouted with him. This excitement warmed my heart.I pulled Ama to me and hugged her. "Congratulations baby" she said in my ear.

Previously…Femi."I get you I do. Anonymous then." Pastor Iren said."Thank you sir." I said and we moved on.We finally finished the meeting and then headed out. Pastor Iren gave me a big teddy bear hug. I didn't understand how he could do that considering how small statured he was but when he hugged me, it felt like he was bigger than he really was.Once in the car, Ama said "Congratulations. I'm really so proud of you babe.""Thank you baby." I said smiling at her. I felt so surreal after doing this,"How do you feel?" she asked."Yes Um. I feel blessed to have been able to do that. I mean I could have said, yeah let me make more money. But I have enough literally and it just didn't feel right collecting money from a church or a man of God that God literally revealed to me well, it didn't feel like something I should have been doing." I said."I know. But give me a hint. I am curious. How much would you have charged for the place. I was already waiting for you to drop the bomb." S
