I found a dead bat on my bed

Edo state governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has revealed that he faced spiritual battles before his election victory.

The newly sworn-in governor made the revelation during his post-swearing-in thanksgiving service held on Wednesday night at the Dr Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.

Governor Okpebholo said: “I want to thank God. In this last election, while I was praising God, they (traducers) were busy operating from Arise. They were busy operating from Facebook. They were busy operating from Channels.

“But, I took the battle to God because I know the secret. A few days to the election, they said this guy (Okpebholo) is crazy. We gathered to praise God in this state. They said, ‘What is he doing?’ They were there at Arise. But, I was listening to the voice of God. I won the battle.

“After the election, on Sunday morning, I came to my room. I found a bat had died on my bed, without me shooting any arrow. But the spirit of God was there. The arrow of God; the hand of God delivered me.

“I am grateful to the men of God that stood in the gap. I am grateful to those that believe that with God, all things are possible. And I will give you one advice: trust in God alone because he will do it for you.”
