When 1+1=1

Contributed by Babatunde Olugboji on Jul 28, 2008

This message about the God-ordained marriage relationship between man and woman as the devil is prowling to and fro looking for marriages to devour and relationships to wreck. And the church is not immune. We can learn a few lessons from the Shunamite cou

Ordinarily, 1+1 equals 2, but there are many things in the word of God which are not ordinary, but extra-ordinary.
