WHY IS PASTOR PAUL SILENT????

Pastor Paul Adefarasin 

Just in case you are wondering which Pastor Paul at least you can see from the pictures, that we are not referring to the one that many call or refers to as Apostle Paul in the scriptures/Bible, but we are referring to the one that presides over the congregation at famous 'House on the Rock Church, otherwise known as 'HOTR'. Why would we be asking about Pastor Paul Adefarasin in the first place and why do we think there was or is the need to hear from him?

It's maybe because he is the current pastor of both Timi and Busola Dakolo. So as sheep under his shepherdship/leadership this issue really concerns him then, if ever there is a word like shepherdship!

We know for a fact also that the sheep who have recognized and known leaders or shepherds wouldn't take or make decisions nor would they ever go to a war without the full backing of their captain. The captain here being Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who is the Head of the local assembly they attend.

We had come up with a theory at the very beginning of this saga, in our very first article when this rape saga was initially outed. And what we had said then was that, for Busola and Timi Dakolo to have come out at all, they must have done what we had called their due diligence. And part of doing that their due diligence on our thought, would have meant first, they agreeing with each other to give the battle at hand, all that it would need without flinching, once they came out. Once they had first agreed on that, they would then have had to commit all to God too as the battle ahead is not a little one. Part of committing all to God, would have meant that they would have first told their church; the church here could refer to jist their pastor alone or the elders of that their church. Once they have gotten the all clear from here to do what they believe is necessary. They would have also consulted with those who could interpret the law well and by this we mean lawyers. These interpreters of the law, wouod have weighed the matter or issue at hand objectively, who would then have given them the go ahead to give the issue at hand a proper go.

By the time they must have done all of these things above and maybe more, they would then wear thick skins and would be ready for all the bashings and crazy scrutiny and others that would surely come their way. As the first thing the other side would want to do, is to dig holes in their accusations, as they would try very hard to discredit them also. Our theory is based on the fact that, "no one goes to war without preparing at least very well ahead for it". In the 'art of war', it pays to know your enemy well, anticipating and getting ready for what could come up at any given time. Being able to at least predict maneuverings that could spring up, so as to minimize surprises (attacks) to the barest minimum!

You can see very well that after the initial interview done by Busola that unleashed everything and broke open the can of worms, she has since returned back into her quietude. It's has been only her husband, supporting from the flanks, that comes out now intermittently to address certain issues and he too immediately afterwards then withdraws again to observe, prepare and respond if it needs be.

So how has their pastor seen this whole matter, especially as it concerns a brother man of God, who has been accused by his daughter and by extention his son, of preying and violation and utter misconduct???

The outspoken man of God, has since maintained a, should we say 'dignified silence'!!!! Is this dignified silence like saying what an elder knows, he doesn't toy or play with? Maybe when the time is right, then he would speak? One of the qualities of shepherds, good ones at that, is that they wouldn't allow their sheep to fall into harms way, no matter what.

Would he have been in a dilemma, as the case or issue at hand concerns his son and daughter in the Lord who are victims and on the other side the accused, is a fellow church founder, a man of God too, who is commissioned like him.

What's Pastor Paul's take on this whole matter? Can we say what Pastor Paul thinks on the matter is also how the church feels on the matter?

We are eager to know!!!!

GOVERNOR AMBODE ATTENDS EXPERIENCE CONCERT. COMMENDS CHURCH FOR DONATIONS TO SCHOOLS

...Tasks Leaders To Put Interest Of Nigerians First

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Friday evening graced the 2017 edition of The Experience Concert, held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, just as he commended organisers of the Concert, House on the Rock for its donation of ICT infrastructure to 100 schools in the State.

Governor Ambode, in his goodwill message, commended the idea of the Experience Concert, saying that in the last 12 years, it had continued to attract people from all walks of life, different faiths and socio-political persuasions, thereby dismantling the barriers of political affiliation, ethnic origin and doctrinal differences through an unhindered expression of faith through music and engendering a legacy of love, peace and unity.

He also lauded the founder and Presiding Pastor of the House On The Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin for its various humanitarian interventions and corporate social responsibilities in the State, saying that it was a testament to his leadership qualities.

“You have shown leadership and a spirit of excellence which has seen House On The Rock engage in several nation-building activities across the country, particularly in Lagos State. Your contributions to interreligious dialogue, empowerment of the youth, social reformation and health care continue to positively impact the citizens of this state and on behalf of the people of Lagos State, we thank you,” the Governor said.

He particularly commended the initiative embarked upon by House On The Rock, which has seen the furnishing of 100 secondary schools across Lagos State with modern, fully equipped, air conditioned, functional Computer Laboratories.

Governor Ambode in his remarks said the State was firmly on track to becoming a globally-competitive, dynamic and sustainable megacity, however stressing that it would require the cooperation and contribution of all and sundry for the State to realise its full potentials.

He said concerted effort would be required to sustain the developmental strides the State has recorded in the last 50 years and ensure that the future of the State is secured.

The Governor said: “Young and old, male and female, student and teacher, employer and employee. We must all rise to the challenge understanding that collectively, we can make this happen! We must be the change agents who will deliver a deliberately developed Lagos State to be bequeathed to future generations.”

Stressing that the interests of Nigeria could not be determined along religious, political, ethnic or social lines, Governor Ambode said that leaders in the country must rise to their responsibilities, put the nation first and determine what is just and equitable for all Nigerians.

“Men and women, whose voices influence the belief and value systems of our populace must begin to speak sincerely to one another to find common ground to build a prosperous nation and state; one that denies no man, woman, boy or girl the right to a peaceful and productive life. We all have a part to play to achieve this,” the Governor said.

On his part, Pastor Adefarasin, while presenting the handover certificate for the ICT infrastructure donated to the Lagos State education system by the Church to Governor Ambode, said he (Governor) has produced new levels of development in the State, just as he expressed optimism of future partnerships with the State Government.

“It gives me great pleasure to present this certificate to the chaplain of nation building, the action Governor in Nigeria, one who we are very proud to call our own. We are hopeful that we would do more partnership with your government to help bridge the divide to give more kids the opportunity to excel and be part of nation building,” Adefarasin said.

IPHIE@40 CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE. HOLY COMMUNION SERVICE DONE TO BLESS THE DATE & AGE

Iphie and Tundun

Ruth Osime & Scholar

Still on the matter, the supremely gorgeous, Ifeoma Williams is still in a wonderfully celebratory mode as per her 40th birthday, twas upcoming befiee, but day came and it's now the party we are awaiting. .

Life they say begins at 40, so it's a new beginning, a new lease of life, newer adventures, newer horizons to climb, newer achievements, newer goals to set and meet etc.

As part of the activities to mark the birthday, one of Nigeria's most elegant ladies and icons, in the person of Mo Abudu, the founder and CEO of Ebony Life TV, had hosted the charming Ifeoma Williams and her friends to a very fun packed pyjama jam, that saw all the guests let down hair and had great fun about last week. That exclusive gathering was fun all the way, from the video we saw.

So Tuesday, October 17, 2017 was the actual birthday day itself. And not one to just let the day slide just like that, Ifeoma and a few friends, were at the "House on the Rock Church, to partake of the special Holy Communion Service" blessing the day and new age. All that attended were gaily dressed in native attire, looking super stylish, we saw birthday gal herself, Iphie in green, Ruth Osime, Scholar, Tundun Abiola, Banke Balogun and a few others.

God obviously has been good and great towards this stunner of a lady, who has stayed beautiful and stylish all of these years. Truth be told, she doesn't look 40 at all, kudos we say to good genes.

The main shindig to rival all shindig is actually set for Sunday, October 22, 2017 and the theme of the day is "Michael Jackson", however the guests would interpret this theme is left for the imagination, but we are sure it would be fun and hilarious. We are too sure that  this party would be swell and super fun and would be a party to be at and be invited to.

PASTOR PAUL ADEFARASIN'S TASTE OF HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH FIRST

Pastor & Mrs Paul and Ifeanyi Adefarasin

He is undoubtedly in the "league of billionaire" pastors no doubt about that and that is talking about the handsome, bald headed, man of god, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the head pastor of the 22nd century House on the Rock.

The man in his 50s seems to be following the Yoruba's word of wisdom which when paraphrased says "It is first the Earth we enjoy, before the Heaven"!

The idea behind the name his church bears is to convey the message of a "house that's built on a solid & unshakeable foundation. A Christian well founded, well established on a sure/firm foundation.

His church is a gathering of the "funkiest"  most happening and very liquid of people, passing across the message somewhat that God wants the salvation of all kinds, the funky, the super stylish, the classy and very liquid.

The American trained architect, a graduate of the University of Miami, who is married to the delectably and ravishingly gorgeous Ifeanyi Adefarasin, nee Mordi a former Miss UNILAG has really done very well for himself.
