What does the day mean to you? No, it doesn’t mean much to me. It’s just the beginning of a new beginning. Oh, yes.
God has been more than faithful. And he has supplied all my needs according to His riches in glory. And he’s been great.
There is none as wonderful as He is. There has been so much talk about your encounter with ‘Deco, the mad man at the Khana Country Council Secondary School in River State. What actually happened? A mad man came to our school and sacked the entire school.
He sacked everybody. As we were all running from the mad man, Deco, God said to me, you also can sack the mad man. So I commanded him to roll out of the school.
And to our shock, he began to roll out of the school. While he was rolling, he said, do you know that I am naked? When a madman discovers he’s naked, that is an obvious indication and evidence that he’s been healed. I was about 10 years plus.
