Speaking during a recent sermon, the prophet said Satan had been wrongly blamed for various problems while pastors allegedly benefit from portraying him as the source of evil.
He said, “Satan is innocent. Justice for satan. We are going to do justice for him because everyday satan sit at the door of the church crying, nobody to speak for him until God chose me.”
