When men claim to hear from God, I'm always confused especially when the purported statement from God is not direct.

For example, pastor Adeboye will tell his congregation that 'God says there is someone here who suffers back pain, daddy said you will be healed to night'. I always ask, who is the person? Give a name!!!!

Other companies that are still paying staff are not shouting it.

This coronavirus is exposing these men of God as nothing but self-centred capitalists

Good gesture.
