Preacher, since when hime dey commune with God, why God never show am these things? Don't take side since u aren't directly involved or there. God is watching!

Pastor Chris cannot manage his home well. How can he posted his wife to London and remain in Nigeria. He should learn from Adeboye, Oyedepo

Thanks. I am not taking side. I am discerning for God. Chris has a Phd and he can defend himself. The ways of God, Who is the master Spirit are different from the ways of humans.
