Josson is ignoring Egobia at this point...will reply to his whining later....

To the Rev

Quote:

Good Afternoon Rev Eze,

No need to apologize for not getting back to the Father yesterday. Like you, he was busy tending to his flock....its all good. Please make that a priority for today. It has been an exciting morning. The announcement to the congregation that we will be not only building a new church in Africa, but that a Cathedral is being built has energized the congregation. This kind of expansion our church has been a long time coming, and given the challenges we faced last time, the congregation was resigned to the potential reality that our faith would not be expanding in such a way. The Holy Lamb has brought us together and while we are all still guarded as we go through this process, I am confident given the strong hand of the Holy Lamb in bringing us together, one all gets final approvals we shall make a glorious achievement.

You asked me my view on Eternal Life. Well what we have here is a dress rehearsal for eternal life. We have been put here, on this earth by God to prove to him that we are worthy of eternal life in paradise. Although he provides us a path for confession and reconciliation, we never know when we will be called by the Holy Lamb from this existence. And if we are called between a period of sin and reconciliation, we are going to have some explaining to do. In short, Eternal Life is guaranteed to us all. What we do for that eternity well that is dependent upon how we fare here on earth.

This is one of the reasons I am so excited about this expansion. I have lived a good life and do not expect any major challenges on judgement day. And while paradise is on the horizon for old Brother Josefus, it is the lasting legacy I can leave behind that has troubled me. You see I have never married, I have no children that I know of. I have amassed a very substantial wealth. But that wealth is meaningless without legacy. I can't take it with me. And if I die with it here, with no one to leave it to, it ends up getting held up in some legal mumbo jumbo that I do not understand which does no one any good. And I can think of no better legacy than expanding our church and bringing faith and charity to a nation who's people are in need. You see Rev Eze, this legacy will guarantee me eternal life on earth in spirit, when called to paradise by the Holy Lamb.

We will have plenty of time to talk more once you are vetted and approved for membership in our church. Please make it a priority to work with Father Nectarie on the spiritual vetting. As I had made mention, it has been a great many years since I have committed to this church from a membership standpoint, it is meant to be challenging for a lay person...but as a respected Reverend, it should be merely a formality.

In the name of the Holiest of Lambs-

Brother Josfus-

In the meantime, Ben is unaware of Egobia's decision to get religion and gives him and Brooke the 411 about the meeting, with Jos CC'd for good measure. Our boi is most likely too great a coward to make the trip for easy money, but no matter.

Quote:

I have concluded my business in N'Djamena and will shortly be leaving for Maiduguri. Either you or your representative will find me at the Grand Pinnacle Hotel lounge between eleven o'clock am and two thirty pm. If you have any difficulty spotting me, just inquire with the bar tender. I look forward to meeting one of you and getting this transaction completed.

Jos has not replied to Egobia's latest yet

After all....BP has power of attorney and is handling this on Jos behalf.

BP is on the case Twisted Evil

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 2:27 am

Well the Egobia reply is forthcoming.
Received a rather interesting email from Rev Eze...

Quote:

My sincere and faithful greetings to you brother Josfus, all glory to the Lamb of God that is seated upon the Throne forever. Amen.

I write with the deepest feeling of homeliness to assure you of faithful commitment to the course and vision of the Holy Lamb.
The issue of Eternal life is my priority as I travel this path of temporary existence before the face of my Saviour I behold. You have given my heart a joyful insight into the Holy Lamb's belief.

Concerning the questionnaire sent to me by Father Nektarie, I must tell you that your response to me concerning Eternal life has given me the courage to move on. Though Internet access in most cases seem very poor here; nevertheless, I sincerely promise you that the Father Nektarie will receive them first thing in the morning.

With the love of the Holy Lamb, I thank you for the explanations.

Shalom!

Trying to figure out if he thinks he is playing me at this point or if I am playing him. Well if he sends the questionner as planned...game on

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:21 am

the easy reply...to Rev Eze.
The harder one to Egobia forthcoming

Quote:

Rev Eze,

The Holiest of Lambs is obviously at work here. The one thing I will ask you is to please keep Father Nektarie up to date moreso than me at this point. He needs to be your first email until the Elders approve your application.
I am glad that you appreciated my answer to your question of eternal life.
And appreciate your test. Shows me that you are genuine and sincere when it comes to the Holy Lamb.
Reverend, I hope everything comes to fruition of all the candidates that we are looking at to be Bishop of Africa as our church expands, You have me (and us) the most excited.

I believe that too is the work of the Holy Lamb

And to Dr Egobia....

Quote:

Dr Egobia,

The reason I gave Mr Perce power of attorney before I left the states for my spiritual retreat was that I need someone to tie up lose ends. I am shocked that you wish to simply move on from this piece of business when Mr Perce is In Nigeria, with my money , to pay the fees to conclude our business. Sir I don't believe you are the issue, You have just had bad luck with legal counsel. You fired Garrick after you found out he was incompetent, and we are seeing the same incompetence from Brooke.
I have no problem with pulling the plug on this piece of business, from a personal monetary standpoint. It is an investment opportunity for me, I don't need the money. But what pains me about this, is what the money is earmarked for. It, as you are a aware is going to be the initial deposit into the charitable accounts of the expansion of our religion so it is not me that it is hurting, if you pull out it is hurting those that need it.
Mr Perce had a meeting set up with Brooke today. Again, you and I do not need to be discussing this business. You have hired an attorney, albeit an incompetent one, but an attorney none the less. Allow your attorney and My attorney to work out the legals of this transaction.

What I find troubling and a little confusing is that this is the 2nd time that Mr Perce has been in Nigeria as we have tried to conduct this business...and this is the 2nd time Mr Perce's efforts are being met with resistance.

You and I do not need to discuss this further..we have legal counsel to do so. Once again let them do their jobs.

I am standing by to hear from Mr Perce on this matter. He is handling this, I am focusing on the Cathedral and church expansion. On that note, thank you for the introduction to Rev Eze....he is a very exciting man from a spiritual perspective.

Like You I do not want to discuss our initial business any further..that is what I have hired Mr Perce for. He will get done what needs to be done.
Scripture tells us a lot about patience...you have been patient this far. Are you really willing to walk away when the money is in Nigeria ready to be paid?
Makes no sense.

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:49 am

Your Rev Eze certainly seems like an interesting guy. Why does he sign off with Shalom at the end of each email? Seems kind of weird. I suspect he's trying to test you to see if you're an actual church or not, as lads typically aren't this interested in religious stuff. I'm excited to see if he'll actually go through with all the forms.

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 9:51 am

Still trying to figure out the Shalom thing....
And the Doc is now back peddling

Quote:

Yes this money is of great need, and you want to deposit it into the Charitable funding of yours. But why can't you have that single atom of trust in Barrister Brooke or even me who is your partner in this transaction. After all when Brooke has finally got everything done, he will not be the one to carry the $35.5m in a brief case, but it is Central Bank of Nigeria that will still transfer this money to your account. Why can't you just instruct Benjamin to follow Brooke's instruction by accpeting an account from Brooke for once and let him do what is done. The moment Brooke receives this legal charge and have the document secured, he will send it across to Benjamin then the bank will wire the money straight to your account.

I have a 100% trust for you and has followed every single advice of yours right from when you never wanted Garrick to handle the fund on your behalf due to his incompetency. You wanted to start up a cathedral here in Nigeria, i took my time to contact my uncle concerning it; now why can't you just have that trust in me? Brooke is a very big lawyer here in Nigeria, a lawyer that do represent an Oil company in Port harcourt. So he is not a charge and bail lawyer. Barrister Benjamin is in Nigeria today because you mobilized him, but Brooke has never asked me for a dime due to the trust he has in me. Can benjamin do such?

Even the state that Benjamin is asking Brooke to meet him in, on sundayy, the herdsmen killed more than 220 christians. That is why i told you earlier that he cathedral should be built in the eastern region because that is where the majority of christians reside in.

^So, is Ego paying Barr. B with sexual favors, then?

Meanwhile, in Nigeria...

Ego sends this to Ben.

Quote:

Please go through this site and see what happened yesterday.
https://www.reuters.com/...nigeria.../nigeria-holds-mass-burial-for-73-people-killed-in. So please neither i or Barrister B are coming to see you because we can't risk our lives and also Barrister B has traveled to Port Harcourt for a case.

Therefore, it is either you follow Barrister B's instruction or let's forget about it.

Ben offers this sympathetic reply.

Quote:

Little girl Ego,

Yes, 73 poor schmucks are dead. It sucks to be them but they have nothing to do with this transaction. Fortunately for you I have had a few of these wonderful drinks with pretty paper umbrellas on the top or I would raise Holy Hell over your cowardice and laziness. As it is, I just feel sorry for you. On my drive over here, I saw some women washing laundry in the river. It now occurs to me that neither of you have as much bravery between you as one of them has in her little toe. I can only imagine how difficult life must be to go through life knowing that you re no better than scared little girls.

Well, there is no reason for me to stay here, other than these wonderful drinks, so I'll tie up a couple of loose ends here and head back to N'Djamena. I can see now that my hope that you would find your manhood and meet me was vain. From this day forward, I think I will address you as "Little girl Ego" and I will address Barr. B as "Little girl B". I will leave it to you to explain it to others, either with the truth or with cowardly lies.

I told Little girl B I would contact his "associate" when I return home and I will, although I have no doubt he will turn out to be as lazy, cheap and cowardly as the rest of you.

And this to Ben's new banker friend who is secretly feeding information to Ego.

Quote:

Well, this trip to Nigeria was another bust. I don't know what I was expecting after the last time I was here, but I couldn't think of any other way to show my client that this deal was a waste of time, so I am wasting mine. It's interesting. I knew this Ego guy and his associates were all lazy and worthless but I never took them for cowards.(actually, I was counting on it)

But that's not your problem to deal with. As it happens, I have another assignment for you. This time the amount is 27,000. take 5,000 out for yourself and forward the rest just like last time. I realize this larger sum may take longer to make disappear and that is fine. God speed and stay in contact.

Let me show you a little funny detail. Laughing

14.09 - Father Nektarie, to our idiot:

Quote:

Dear Reverend PrinceAnthonyEze, dear my brother,

YES, I can confirm that I have received those 2 files from you: your "Accession Application" form and your "proof of Faith" photo!
Everything is fine, I will present them tomorrow morning to our Elderly Council and I am convinced they will be accepted. No doubt here!
I have communicated these things also to our Chancellor Eduard and he is delighted to see that you are making good progress.

After tomorrow morning's service, I will come back to you with the details of Second Stage of yours Admittance process.
I am convinced that everything will be perfect, because our dear brother Josephus has made serious efforts to persuade Council members to allow the construction of the African Cathedral of the Holy Lamb.

Be blessed brother, may the Holy Lamb be with you!

Is Eze an Igbo? It's a fact that there's a belief with many Igbo that they are a Jewish people - a Lost Tribe of Israel. I encountered that belief several times on the NaijaPals forum.

@Yastreb Maybe, but he doesn't always sign off with Shalom. Your theory could make sense though.

Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2018 5:15 am

^^^ About "Shalom!"... Yastreb may be right, and our idiot "reverend" Prince Tony may be an Igbo Jewish man. We will see... however, we will not insist too much, because we do not want to educate him! Right? Laughing

06.11 - The morning Service was over, and the secretary Nektarie presented the materials sent yesterday by our idiot... everyone is satisfied, so the "reverend" can continue the process of joining. Laughing

- I took the opportunity to introduce a new person to the story: "uncle" Eduard, the Chancellor of the Church... he is Josephus' tutor and, at the same time, is a very good friend of the church leader (Cardinal Euphrosie).
- Within 2 hours, church secretary(father Nektarie) will send the details for the second stage.

Quote:

My dear son, may the Holy Lamb bless you and your family!

I'm so delighted that you sent the materials necessary to finalize the first stage of the Admittance process. I am very excited about this and I hope we can work very well on building our new Cathedral.
It's up to you now, just how fast you manages to go through all the preliminary stages of the Baptism process. Father Nektarie showed us, today, your first materials and I noticed that you live in Lagos.
It's a big city, and I think we will be able to gather many people around us. I'm so happy! The board of our Elderly Council has approved your materials and has recommended passing to the Second Stage.
We will have a lot of work, but with the help of the Holy Lamb and our financial support, you will be able to build the new house of the Lord: the Cathedral of the Holy Lamb in Lagos!
I can not wait you to finish the few steps in your Admittance process so we can begin construction work... you will have a great responsibility, because all your local payments will have to be approved and verified by you!
Our brother Josephus talked about you in very eloquent terms, so all this good news makes me confident and optimistic!

Our brother Secretary Nektarie will return with the details of the Second Stage of your Admittance process.
Please hurry with the necessary documents to complete your Baptism process, so that we can start the construction preliminary action before end of July.

Be blessed, in the sacred name of our Holy Lamb!
Rev. Eduard

07.20 - Father Nektarie, to our idiot:

Quote:

Brother PrinceAnthony, God will bless you!
Congratulations, you have successfully passed the First Stage of the Admission process! Our Elderly Council with great joy approved the first materials sent by you.
I'm very glad to hear you back and you have to know that father Josephus and his uncle (our dear Chancellor Eduard) have pleaded for you in a very, very strong way.
His role, as future Celestial Father of you, involve also one first financial support ($10,000) and our Elders were delighted with Josephus's words.
Soon you will be able to act as a full member of our community and be able to hold your final Baptism Ceremony!
Yours financial aid has been approved "de facto" as soon as you complete the Admission procedure amongst the prominent MUIE members.
"De jure", you are already accepted, only a few formalities remain.

The second stage of admission process is "Sacred Questions and Visual Interpretations from the Bible".
- It's a very simple stage and I'm very sure there will be not any problems for you.
- It's about some questions about our Holy Book, in your personal vision.
- As you will see it, in your belief... religious views of the Bible "quotes" are usually revealed following intense prayers.
- Please read carefully the Bible and answer to the following questions... draws a brief sketch for each of them:

1. What do you believe that Moses’ intentions were when he parted the Red Sea? Whom did he save? Draw your interpretation of Moses parting the Red Sea.

2. In Genesis 15:9 , the Lord requests very specific items. What do you believe the Lord intended to use these items for, and do think that he share them with the Old Gods? Draw the items below.

3. As described in Deuteronomy 23:1, the Lord do not accept those whom have partaken in genital mutilation. Do you swear upon the Gods that your genitals have not been removed? What are two forms of genital mutilation that you would deem unacceptable in your eyes. Draw your personal interpretation.

4. Have you ever engaged in prostitution? The Lord can forgive this crime, but admittance is required for acceptance into the church. Describe three types of prostitution that you would consider immoral or unacceptable in your eyes. Draw your personal interpretation.

5. Draw your interpretation of the running away of the young man described in Mark 14:51. Who was this young man, and do you believe that he had ill intent?

6. The MUIE Church is planning on building several new temples in Asia and Africa beginning in 2018. Draw your ideal version of what one of these new temples should look like, including worshippers outside kneeling to the statues of the Holy Lamb. What county is this temple located in? Would you build a temple if the Lord commanded you to?

7. In the Testaments of the Old Gods, Methusila describes a fierce battle between Lathiathan the Great and the evil 3-headed serpent, as Marry watches from the cave. Lathiathan defeats the serpent and stands proudly on its body after defeating it with his sword. Draw your interpretation of this event.

8. Deuteronomy 14:21 discusses the sale of meats to foreigners. The Church of the Holy Lamb condones this practice. What is your interpretation of this passage? Draw your interpretation of the sale of meets to a foreigner.

9. Draw a self-portrait of yourself. Include your hair, face, neck, shoulders and chest. DO NOT include your abdomen, genitals, legs or feet.

Please, remember!

- You do not have the talent to draw, because we are not looking for a professional designer!
- All that the Elders of the MUIE Church want to see is your own vision of belief in the Holy Lamb.
- These visions usually follow intense prayers and it is enough to try to draw what you see. Nothing more!
- It's about your soul and your Faith, not about your talent in painting or drawing!
- I hope you understand this requirement and I hope you will send me the 9 drawings as soon as possible because our brother Josefus wants to start to work with you and he is stuck in your admission among MUIE members.
- Of course, if there are some unclear things, please let me know.

Be blessed,
father Nektarie

- 5 minutes later, our Rev. Tony Prince answer to the Eduard's previous message:

Quote:

Dear Rev. Eduardo,
Greetings and peace from God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb be multiplied to you. Amen.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Psalm 84:2.

As it is recorded that; the fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom and a good understanding have all they that practice it.

Having undertaken to carry on with this vision of the Holy Lamb, I pledge my full and faithful commitment to the project and the church expansion as the Lord enables me by His grace.
Finally I appreciate the Entire board of the Council of Elders.

Shalom!!

I couldn't shake the thought of an Eze/Ezze mixup at some point - has anyone else thought likewise?

Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2018 6:59 am

- Also "my reverend" real name is Eze... I used the name of "Ezze" (with 2 "z" letter) for Google Search Engine reason only.
- Yes, I also thought of a mix of stories Twisted Evil

... but I have many current characters (Nektarie, Euphrosie) who already died in the "original" story, so it's premature to do something like this.

09.39 - Chancellor Eduard wrote to "reverend" PrinceTony:

Quote:

Son,
I'm glad to hear you again because we are (all of us) only sheep in our Lord's flock!
As the holy martyr Eustratia said in his epistle to the Tatar Khan: "Blessed are they who have nothing, for they will receive everything! If the power of their Faith is great, then the mountains will return and the waters will break in before their eyes! I made a long journey and prayed for the good of mankind!" Every being, every soul, needs support and serious help.

Tell me if you're one of the blessed Jewish Igbo men. I heard that somewhere in West Africa was one of the lost tribes of Israel.
Our Secretary brother Nektarie told me that he sent you the necessary requirements to meet the #2 stage of the integration process in the MUIE congregation.

Shalom and be blessed, in the sacred name of our Holy Lamb!

In the Glory Of the Holy Lamb,

Reverend Ezze,

I am so excited that the Elders approve your application. You really impress them with the seriousness and urgency you completed it with.

I trust Father Nektarie has been back in contact with you with the next steps. It is my hope that you will continue your urgency and completeness of the task at hand.

After all we all know what the Holy Lamb states about priorities.

I can not wait to begin discussing the means and methods of our Cathedral project.

With the utmost reverence to the Holy Lamb....

Greetings to you sir,
With grace from above, I am writing to you to also appreciate the vision of the Holy Lamb of God.

Yes Father Nektarie has gotten back to me and I am on it and I also pledge with a great passion for soul winning, that I cannot wait to see the Cathedral of the Holy Lamb being built here and men and women come in to share the joy of salvation.

I appreciate you as well for the burden you have for things of the Father in heaven. Glory be to the Lamb of God!..
Shalom!

Josfus also sent a message to the Rev. (not sure if before or after)....

Quote:

Rev Eze

The Holy Lamb is working overtime. Things are beginning to shape up here on the cathedral plans. I am hoping it is as beautiful in built form as it is in my mind and on paper. How is the membership process treating you? I know it is a test of faith, but it is obviously a formality for you as you are an accomplished and experienced Reverend. Is there anything I can do to help you?

I have not had opportunity to see Father Nektarie as I have been sequestered for spiritual retreat and cathedral planning.

Let me know if I can be of help.

Brother Josfus

And the Rev's reply...(I think he meant to say He is NOT an artist)....

Quote:

A very beautiful morning to you brother Josfus, May the grace of God our father in heaven through the mercy Holy Lamb ever abide with you. Amen.

Much love and thanks to you for your mails through which you have always encouraged me.

Like you already said it that it's just a formality and test of faith. I am an artist but through the help of the Holy Lamb, I committed to this and will joyfully accomplish it.

Thanks and may the Holy Lamb continue His good works in your life. Amen.

Meanwhile Josfus also got a message from the Dr...

Quote:

Dr,

I appreciate the email. Yes things are going well. Rev Eze is going through the required membership process which is, while it is a test of faith, it is just a formality for an accomplished Reverend. I am sure he will do fine.
I am waiting to hear back from Mr Pierce's office on the background/security check of Rev Eze and the other candidates. i have a hunch that Rev Eze will be the candidate approved and offered the position of Bishop of Africa and Cathedral Project Manager. Rev Eze and I have not yet talked too much about the project, I am hoping we are able to do that soon. Thank you for introducing him to me.

Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2018 6:12 am

^^^ Muhahahaha! Good, very good!

- You should begin with some "preliminary" discussions about the Great MUIE Cathedral... so, that he "sees" some huge sums that you want to spend. Laughing

- In this way, he will be more determined to complete the enrollment procedures in the church. Twisted Evil

- Of course, all work at Cathedral site will start only after he is appointed as Bishop of Africa (BOA) and Cathedral Project Manager (CPM). Laughing

- For inspiration, look at a text that I use in these situations:

Dear my son, good morning. Holy Lamb will bless you!
I would like to start the concrete discussions regarding the construction of our new cathedral.
I know you have not yet completed all stages of admission among MUIE members, but I think we can start preliminary discussions about our new MUIE representative there.
I have already spoken with our Great Cardinal, so that the council of Church Elders will vote as we want. All we have to do is to overcome the intermediate stage in which your MUIE admission formalities are met.

So let's get started practical discutions about our new MUIE cathedral building stages!
We start from the basic things. Look what we have to start:

1. Acceptance Letter from your local religious authority - that's mandatory!

2. Acceptance Letter from your local municipal authority (mayor, council, etc.) - that's mandatory!
- These steps are very simple, if we have the right man in the right place. It will be a "lawyer job".
- As Pontius Pilate said, "one hand washes the other one and both hands wash the face".
- We know how things work, everywhere in the world, so the lawyer (or person in charge of getting these authorizations) will have a budget of 20,000 dollars / for each local approvals needed paper.

3. Identification of land that is suitable for construction - that's mandatory!
- We need an open ground, freely building, somewhere at the intersection of roads. Area 1,000-1,500 square meters.
- The land must be identified and photographed in 4 directions (north, south, east, west), for our church architect to can visualize the future construction plan.
- Minimum rental period will be 25 years, with automatic extension.
- The rent should not exceed 15,000 dollars / month, paid in advance for a year.
- We need a preliminary agreement letter, to see and approve. Also, we need 1:2000 & 1:500 scale drawings.

4. Identifying future parishioners base (minimum 12 persons) - that's mandatory!
- We know that people are poor, so our role as a Mother Church is to help them and be their support.
- Each new parishioner will receives one single social assistance aid of 1,500 dollars from enrolling in the MUIE Church.
- Subsequently, if the parishioners has a difficult social condition (many children, is unemployed, etc), social support remains in force.
- Adhesions form must be completed by hand, in large letters (uppercase), by every parishioner. We will accept English language.
- Each parishioner must confess his adherence to the Faith in the Holy Lamb through a suggestive photo with a written "sacred words" message to the Church.
- Photos should be taken out into the sunlight, and "sacred words" writing letter should be printed on a very visible cardboard.
- The Church Logo must also be visible. You already have "the example" (I need MUIE! MUIE for me! Glory to the Holy Lamb!) that can be printed, there, on a big cardboard.

5. Identifying Local Reverend.
- Here we have the problem solved, you are appointed to this position.
- Your future as BOA (bishop of Africa) depends only on the sacred sign, the tattoo of the church logo.
- You will have a salary of 9,800 dollars / month, paid in advance for a year.
- You will sign a legal contract with the Church and will be "appointed" in a Holy special Baptism Ceremony.

6. Identification Cathedral Project Manager.
- His Excellency instructed you to take care of this job. Congratulations!
- There are no doubts. Our leader's proposal is for you to occupy this post remunerated with anothers 9,800 dollars / monthly.
- This was also my desire! I am very proud of you!

7. Identifying a Law office (a legally firm).
- Who can represent the Church in all legally manner.
- We need a good lawyer compamny to represent us. It is clear and we have nothing to change this.
- Nearly 124,500 dollars fee is pre-approved and will be paid in full.
- I hope that covers at least part of the first phase of construction (land acts, all local approvals, etc).
- Later, after the Church is fully functional, we will negotiate a contract for annual legal representation.

So, depending on the results that you send me, I will propose one first payment of all such sums:

20,000 x 2 = 40,000 - for obtaining the two (2) statutory approvals: civil authority & religious authority
15,000 x 12 = 180,000 - for annual rental land (where the Church it will be built)
1,500 x 15 = 22,500 - first social aid for our new parishioners
9,800 x 12 = 117,600 - for Local Reverend annual salary
9,800 x 12 = 117,600 - for Cathedral Project Manager annual salary
124,500 x 1 = 124,500 - for initial attorney fee (The Lawyers firm)
==================
TOTAL amount = $ 602,200

- At all this amount will add necessary costs of construction: construction materials, salaries for workers, various taxes, etc.
- Our M.U.I.E. Church in Tete (Mozambique) had a budget of $ 2.7 million, so we go and hope for the same amount budget.
- Overall, we can start talks on a pre-approved budget amounting to ~ $3,3-3,5 millions.
- Our local lawyer must prepare a Legal Agreement and an itemized bill (Invoice) by ALL this services categories.

All payments are proposed by me, subject to the approval of the monthly Holy Council of the Church Elders and finally approved by the Great Cardinal and by my uncle Chancellor Eduard.
Please finish admissions among church members so we can start building our new Cathedral.

Be blessed, in the sacred name of our Holy Lamb!

Changed things up a little bit....

Quote:

Rev Eze,

Its with great pleasure that I am able to report, through the works of and grace of the holiest of lambs, that it looks like you will be appointed as Bishop of Africa, and Cathedral Project Manager. This is of course upon successful completion of the membership steps.

That being said, We will be sequestered this weekend for spiritual retreat, the Council of Elders is going to be reviewing our cathedral proposal and approving the preliminaries. I know you have not yet completed all stages of admission among MUIE members, but I think we can start preliminary discussions about our new MUIE representative there.
I have already spoken with our Great Cardinal, so that the council of Church Elders will vote as we want. All we have to do is to overcome the intermediate stage in which your MUIE admission formalities are met.

Ordinarily we would wait to begin discussions with you regarding that process so that you can focus on completing your membership...but as this is simply a formality, I see no harm in giving you an idea of what we are presenting to the elders and what your role will be.....also want to give you an idea of the size of the budget you will be expected to manage, want to make sure you are up to the task....

So let's get started practical discutions about our new MUIE cathedral building stages!
We start from the basic things. Look what we have to start:

1. Acceptance Letter from your local religious authority - that's mandatory!

2. Acceptance Letter from your local municipal authority (mayor, council, etc.) - that's mandatory!
- These steps are very simple, if we have the right man in the right place. It will be a "lawyer job".
- As Pontius Pilate said, "one hand washes the other one and both hands wash the face".
- We know how things work, everywhere in the world, so the lawyer (or person in charge of getting these authorizations) will have a budget of 20,000 dollars / for each local approvals needed paper.

3. Identification of land that is suitable for construction - that's mandatory!
- We need an open ground, freely building, somewhere at the intersection of roads. Area 1,000-1,500 square meters.
- The land must be identified and photographed in 4 directions (north, south, east, west), for our church architect to can visualize the future construction plan.
- Minimum rental period will be 25 years, with automatic extension.
- The rent should not exceed 15,000 dollars / month, paid in advance for a year.
- We need a preliminary agreement letter, to see and approve. Also, we need 1:2000 & 1:500 scale drawings.

4. Identifying future parishioners base (minimum 12 persons) - that's mandatory! I am assuming you will be bringing your flock?
- We know that people are poor, so our role as a Mother Church is to help them and be their support.
- Each new parishioner will receives one single social assistance aid of 1,500 dollars from enrolling in the MUIE Church.
- Subsequently, if the parishioners has a difficult social condition (many children, is unemployed, etc), social support remains in force.
- Adhesions form must be completed by hand, in large letters (uppercase), by every parishioner. We will accept English language.
- Each parishioner must confess his adherence to the Faith in the Holy Lamb through a suggestive photo with a written "sacred words" message to the Church.
- Photos should be taken out into the sunlight, and "sacred words" writing letter should be printed on a very visible cardboard.
- The Church Logo must also be visible. You already have "the example" (I need MUIE! MUIE for me! Glory to the Holy Lamb!) that can be printed, there, on a big cardboard.

5. Identifying Local Reverend.
-As you will be appointed Bishop of Africa ....you will need to identify a local reverend.
- Your future as BOA (bishop of Africa) depends only on the sacred sign, the tattoo of the church logo.
- You will have a salary of 9,800 dollars / month, paid in advance for a year.
- You will sign a legal contract with the Church and will be "appointed" in a Holy special Baptism Ceremony.

6. Cathedral Project Manager.
- His Excellency instructed you to take care of this job. Congratulations!
- There are no doubts. Our leader's proposal is for you to occupy this post remunerated with anothers 9,800 dollars / monthly.
- This was also my desire! I am very proud of you! I have put my reputation on the line in my strenuous recommendation here. Don't let me down.

7. Identifying a Law office (a legally firm).
- I am submitting Mr Pierce to the Elders to act in this capacity of Legal Project Manager. However, we are going to need a local firm that specializes in construction matters to work with Mr Pierce.
- We need a good lawyer company to represent us. It is clear and we have nothing to change this. I assume that your consulting/property firm you are associated with has some recommendations? I am going to ask you to submit THREE firms to Mr Pierce and it will ultimately be his decision on who is hired. I am not sure if you are aware of the challenges we have had with a couple of attorneys that Dr Egobia has hired, but both Barrister Brooke and Barrister Garrick are incompetent, and will not be accepted for consideration.
- Nearly 124,500 dollars fee is pre-approved and will be paid in full.
- I hope that covers at least part of the first phase of construction (land acts, all local approvals, etc).

So, depending on the results that you send me, I will propose one first payment of all such sums:

20,000 x 2 = 40,000 - for obtaining the two (2) statutory approvals: civil authority & religious authority
15,000 x 12 = 180,000 - for annual rental land (where the Church it will be built)
1,500 x 15 = 22,500 - first social aid for our new parishioners
9,800 x 12 = 117,600 - for Local Reverend annual salary
9,800 x 12 = 117,600 - for Cathedral Project Manager annual salary
124,500 x 1 = 124,500 - for initial attorney fee (The Lawyers firm)
==================
TOTAL amount = $ 602,200

- At all this amount will add necessary costs of construction: construction materials, salaries for workers, various taxes, etc.
- Our M.U.I.E. Church in Tete (Mozambique) had a budget of $ 2.7 million, so we go and hope for the same amount budget.
- Overall, we can start talks on a pre-approved budget amounting to ~ $3,3-3,5 millions.
- Our local lawyer must prepare a Legal Agreement and an itemized bill (Invoice) by ALL this services categories.

All payments are proposed by me, subject to the approval of the monthly Holy Council of the Church Elders and finally approved by the Great Cardinal and by my uncle Chancellor Edward.
Please finish admissions among church members so we can start building our new Cathedral.

Are you able to properly oversee and handle a budget of this magnitude?

Please begin to think about these matters, however do not let these matters distract you from finishing your membership requirements. Without membership in our congregation, the rest of this is simply not possible. Given the challenges we have had in the past with non members---this point is simply not negotiable.

I will be adjourning for our Friday night dinner here in about an hour, and will be sequesterd for spiritual retreat again this weekend. I look forward to hearing back from you soonest.

Be blessed, in the sacred name of our Holy Lamb!

So
Josfus is sequestered for spiritual retreat so he can not technically read or reply until late Sunday aberdeen time, but received these two emails ...

One from the Dr Idiot ....

Quote:

Dear Mr. Josfus,

How are you? I am writing to know if you have any information from Rev Eze because I was in his house to encourage him more on the Holy Lamb but unfortunately I saw some of elders of his church there telling him that because he is following the Lamb, he should surrender all the church's belongings to them.

They're accusing him that he has gone astray but I thank God that he said that he will never look back.

As it is now, they have collected everything about the church with him. He is supposed to have told you by now. Bye.

Regards

Dr.Evans Egobia

And from our reverend idiot ....

Quote:

My dear Brother Josfus,
Greetings and peace from the Holy Lamb of God to you. Amen.

I write in acknowledgement of your mail this morning. However I would like you to have this in mind that; Land rental isn't the best here but outright purchase which will still be either the same amount budgeted for rental. And this is for a period of 99 years.

In terms of making members for MUIE, I can assure you that; it's not by power nor might, but the grace of the Holy Lamb will give us an astronomical growth. I have that grace from him.

About the size of land to be bought, going by my experience in the ministry over the years, I would say that in few years, we are going to have a growth that will subdue the property acquired.

I am going to see a good Lawyer that you will be happy to have around us.

Thanks and keep going in the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb of God that was slain for us all. Amen.
Shalom!!!
