Apostle by the Will of God

Apostle by the will of God These days, we receive so much junk mail through email and also through the post office. If it is email, my first instinct is to browse and look for the personal emails of people I know and especially loved ones.

Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6. Also, In Daniel 11, it says, “32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. 33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many”.
