What is this world turning to? The person so called the man of God is the one committing biggest atrocities then who can we trust? Only God. I don’t it’s ordinary because ten years old girl/child, is there anything that could attracted a 59 year old papa, it’s unfortunate issue. He should be dealt with see seriously, may Almighty God have mercy on us.
Majority of what we call pastors today are not pastors but devil reincarnate. All these mushroom churches are den of criminals hideout in the name of churches. Churches should be made to be registered with Corporate Affairs Commission before they should be allowed to operate
May God help us.
Why is this happening in the church

A wicked generation
