BAT and Atiku were visibly absent at the presidential debate on Arise TV yesterday. I don't know why they didn't show up. Well, 2023 is almost here. The will of God for Nigeria must be done.
ReplyDeleteFather in the name of Jesus! I bring the case of this nation into your merciful hands again. Father come and reign supreme over all these affairs! Come and show these goliaths and pharaohs, that you are the one true God, the creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Wipe off their evil hands from our lands, hear the cries of the innocent and children! Release your power and let your judgement descend upon these blood sucking demons in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
