PASTOR OLUMIDE Emmanuel's new book Sounds like a mantra in most preachers' lips but then the weight carried by every proclamation of this phrase varies. Pastor Olumide Emmanuel's new book comes with this title and its full intent is to unfold the simple and good ways that one could tread to become a millionaire.

The bestselling author and international motivational speaker introduces the book with empowering lines: 'If labouring were the way to become wealthy, we would have few poor people on earth. Many labour endlessly and yet remain poor, because they don't know how to translate their labour into wealth.' Whilst in London for a seminar, Pastor Olumide Emmanuel visited African Echo to share his view on the process to becoming a fulfilment in every chosen endeavour.

"Some Christians believe that praying and fasting is just all they need to do to achieve that desired success," he says. "Without a job, business, consistency, endurance, hard work and more you need not expect to be up there with your wishes fulfilled. The book 'How To Be A Millionaire' outlined and explained in details the paths you need to follow to become wealthy, I mean, to be a millionaire." Pastor Olumide Emmanuel has published 21 books; most popular amongst them are 'Love Is Not Enough' and 'Common Sense Is Not Common'.
