“Let’s continue to give thanks to God no matter our situation because as we thank God and continue to pray, He will roll away our challenges and He will also bless us more,and the nation will be better.
“It is good to say thank you to the Lord and to sing praises to God who is above all gods no matter the situation one finds himself because there is no alternative to God.
