Even after any major operation, you are told to come for periodic check up, may be every three months because medical or scientific help is not always complete. Spiritual help is total. So, I thank the pastor and the church on behalf of the country,” he said.
Maintaining that the country had its own share of the negative things happening around the world to contend with, Jonathan said the country’s challenges would have been worse without the prayers and spiritual support from pastors and Christians.
“If you watch television, both local and foreign, we always have negative news as breaking news. We have our fair share of those negative news but your prayers have been helping, if not for your prayers, it would have been worse. We will get over our challenges. I urge you to continue to pray for the nation,” he noted.
Commending the senior pastor, Dr Paul Enenche for his consistent support and prayers for his administration and the country as a whole, the president urged the Dunamis family and Christians to keep praying for the nation.
“The happiest people in the world”, according to him “are not the ones with big names,” just as he enjoined the congregation to use the privilege to serve God whenever they are privileged to be wealthy or hold the highest position in the land.
Jonathan noted that he had ordered that every last sunday of every month, he would go round different churches in Abuja to fraternize with other Christians and appreciate them for their prayers, aside his usual worship centre, Aso Villa Chapel.
On his part, Pastor Enenche prayed for the President to be able to take ‘rugged’ decisions at the right time which are in the fear of God and rule of law, irrespective of whose ox is gored.
Praying for divine protection and guidance for the president and his cabinet, Enenche also prayed that the 2015 election should not end in war or destruction, adding that anyone who was not of God would not smell the highest position in the land.
