ITS LOVE ACTUALLY! ON PASTOR FEMI PAUL’S MARITAL SECRET
“He loves his bonds, who, when the first are broken, submits his neck unto a second yoke,” said Robert Herrick, late English poet. Herrick’s muse at the moment of deep introspection dwelt on the logic and vanity of a second marriage. You never can tell what he would say about Pastor Femi Paul’s decision to walk down the marital aisle for the second time. And since he married Evelyn, the second woman of his dreams, the founding Pastor of Grace Assembly Church has been over the moon.

Since he took Evelyn as his wife, Pastor Paul has spared no expense to give her the best of everything money can buy. Pastor Paul got married to the woman of his heart many years ago in a secret wedding. The marriage, which produced a bouncing baby boy many months back, triggered an uproar within the Christian community as not a few people wondered why he chose to ignore the Christian doctrine, which forbids a married man from walking down the aisle with another woman unless the first woman is dead.

It is interesting to know that Pastor Paul’s first wife is still alive; they are neither separated from each other nor divorced. However, the self-styled man of God practices what he refers to as “Intelligent Christianity;” which is akin to taking God at His Word and applying it correctly, and not twisting it sentimentally to suit one’s whims. The lawyer-turned-pastor flaunts enviable academic laurels, and a vast work experience in legal practice, shipping, oil and gas. Pastor Paul was General Manager Operations at Ocean and Oil. He started billboard evangelism in 2004 by writing thought-provoking messages on billboards and stationing them in strategic places across the country.
