    Do you see all the things that are happening in the world? Many people dying,suffering and mourning,corona virus,people panicking… All of this is written in the bible you can read it yourself in Matthew 24📖, therefore let us watch for we do not know when the Messiah will come to take us home let us prepare well says the bible in Revelation16:15, Accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR it is the best thing to do you wont regret it.

    May the Lord bless you and your family. Kindly please do not neglect this, you are amazing and remember that God loves you so much
