In the name of our heavenly Father, i send this as a message to my country Nigeria, and all other African country who have no sign about the anger of the Most High towards the inhabitants earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning of the worst things to come. I am not a seer or a fortune-teller, but sometimes have signs and words whisper including dreams. I would like to reveal what has not been told to we Africans for which we have been killing ourselves in the name of religion. Religion is a war vessel and as such i will like to plead that we Africans, should drop every anger we have for one another and replace it with love. Please, pass this message to the people who call themselves Christians that as at now, non of them is serving Almighty, the creator of the earth, his foot mat. Tell each one of them that Jesus Christ, is neither god nor a son of Almighty but a child chosen before birth to dedicate his life to Almighty and do according to his will, he was persecuted, and died for it. They should dedicate their lives to the true Creator, without any Image, cross or clay. Catholicism, was founded by Rome not by Christ. So Jesus Christ, is not a Roman catholic. Believe the words in this comment repent, and serve Our Father in true faith I have given my message if anyone hides this, he/she is to blame, and you who hears this words and call it a crazy talk, do not deny the fact that you are forewarned. May Almighty forgive me for those i have been angry with and withdraw pains. Peace in the Holy name Of Almighty Father.
