WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS
WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS About four decades ago, while doing my A-Levels at Queens College, Lagos, I was always fascinated by a particular line in the school prayer.

OUR GOD; OUR FATHER! When my father went to be with the LORD fifteen years ago, someone told me “You have been seriously upgraded, God has now taken the place of your father. God is your new dad.
