WHO COULD D BIBLE AGAINST IN THIS ELECTION. Could the Bible be against APC? Proverb 24:21::::::: MY SON FEAR THE KING AND MINGLE NOT WITH THEM THAT SAY ”CHANGE” FOR THEIR CALAMITY COMES QUICKLY. Or Could the Bible be against JONATHAN Jeremiah 38vs26 says: “Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to "Jonathan's" house, to die there” Now who is d Bible really against? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Self deception tells you that the wind of change would not blow. You lie to yourself that the whole change mantra is a phantom. You remain transfixed, mouth wide opened as you watch GEJ openly accept defeat then get mailed back to kirikiri via Otuoeke. Everything will happen peacefully and quietly 8 Likes |
