Davido’s dad on the importance of prayer
Davido’s father, who quoted bible verses as he preached, shared his experience while getting the environmental permit for the power plant.
He disclosed that he ran into difficulties with government officials, with one particular official telling him that the project would never “see the light of day.”
Davido’s dad said he went on his knees and prayed to God on the Sabbath day because he did not want to accept the government official’s statement as the final say.
He testified about how prayers turned the situation around, and he got the permit.
