Dem don already authorize plenty other temples for di country, so it clear say God get big plans to make di holy spirit fit waka freely among di people! (I dey see road for expansion – na only temple dey full di atmosphere.)

For people wey no too sabi wetin temple mean, lemme break am down: Na place wey people dey go make prayer, find peace, and learn about di joys wey di gospel bring. Just like how you dey find your way for New York traffic, God dey guide you make sure you sabi di right things inside di temple.
