23:28 What is the wheat - There is as much difference between my will and their dreams, as there is betwixt the chaff and the wheat.
Bishop L .Igwe.'s comment on 2011-06-11 21:26:27:
Prophet that has a dream let him speaks his dream and not lie to the people in the name of the Lord. His dreams are not God\'s word, And the prophet that has the word of God ,should speak the word of God faithfully and not add his own word.Because God cannot be mock.
