Can you tell us more about your blog?
*The blog actually didn’t start as a blog; it started as a Facebook article. It was a passion for excellence that drove me to start a blog. I started writing of articles based on a revelation God showed me. In that revelation, I saw a senior friend who was sick came to me for help and in that revelation, God gave me the bible verse Mathew 10:1. After I woke up, the Holy Spirit instructed me to start feeding people about the knowledge for divine healing. That was what gave birth to the primary purpose of the blog and as time goes on, God started enlarging my coast and testimonies were erupting from the blog posts*

*Jesus is my message*

What is your motive to write your first book?
*As I stated in the book, it is only a fool that will prefer the good than the better or the better than the best.

What can you say about some brethren who still dress anyhow in the church?
