  1. God have mercy. Sad situation after nine months of pains, the baby was sold for Just 10k. God’s creation. Justice should be temper with mercy so that this lady can take care of the baby. We should all support her financially. God should bless the Pastor and enlarge his ministry. We still have good men in this country who fear God and will never do a wrong thing. Pls God through such men and women do something new in this country as you did in 2nd kings
