Oluwa wetin de happen!

Nawa o

So it's now a crime to drink wine in the presence of the Lord... For him to respect God and stayed to drink the wine and sprinkled salt in the communion to eat. He must be forgiven..

The court should free him after all even God forgive sinners and let his people go and sin no more. Christian's should endeavour to follow God message of forgiveness in them.
