David Azzaman's post

He proceeded to pray against the prophecy in the Facebook post, saying by God's grace he would not die as predicted.
"I will never by accident. Psalm 91.16 God says he has satisfied me with long life.

Jesus is God, and I will not die without fulfilling my missionary work," he prayed in the lengthy post.
