The church of Christ in Nigeria is indestructible. The gates of hell cannot prevail against thee. The battle is raging, islamic jihadists are roaring, but we belong to a higher realm of authority.

5 people shot dead in church last week, 35 abductees, and they are demanding a 100 million from a village setting. Every perpetrator and their sponsors come under a curse today. When this church prays, God hears. In the camp of the wicked, there shall be catastrophe. Everyone behind it, within the next seven days, they are smelling, they’re stinking.”
