ReplyDeleteFake prophets and fake prophecies. God bless grant us all our heart desires so we can stop being victims of these people.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteWhat would have made him do such? 30yr old, must still be a fairly new priest. Most of these priest don't hold their office in high esteem anymore. I just hope there's no conspiracy here.
haaaaaaa it is finished😎😎😎😎😎
ReplyDeletepriest ayeee🙌🙌🙌
When I heard the news of his kidnap, I told my mum he faked it. I believed the church had some money in its coffers and the man calculated based on one or two so he faked his own kidnap to get part of the money for himself. Yeye man.
