God hasn’t asked Nana Addo to build any cathedral, Eagle prophet must shut up – Apostle Fires

President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has been urged to rescind his decision to put up a National Cathedral he claims to be doing for God.

According to Apostle Dirl Airl King Marshal, God is never in agreement to the President’s decision hence the need to boycott that idea and focus on other important matters.

The founder and leader of the Soldiers of Christ Prayer Group of All Churches however cautions Prophet Reindoff Oduro aka Eagle Prophet to shut up from causing fear and panic to people who disagree to the Cathedral idea.

Apostle Airl Marshal also adds that the President’s decision to release Akuapem Poloo from prison despite several cautions from God, coupled with other issues is going to cause the nation a lot.

The man of God finally reveals that God is very angry at the rate at which ministers are prevented from operating in schools, by indicating that there’s the need to open doors for such ministers to get back to the school rooms.
