The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said that no matter the political party Nigerians belong to, “the most important thing is that we belong to the party of the children of God and as such, the Church owe the country its prayers.”
The Vice President therefore called on Nigerians to continue to pray for the country and the new administration.
Osinbajo who spoke today at a thanksgiving service organized in his honour by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Region 10, Abuja, said: “most important part of our lives is that we are children of God. There is no place that you cannot occupy.” Referring to his position as one of the senior pastors in the Church, he said that God chooses to honour us in various ways and chooses to give us different responsibilities.
He said that the responsibility he has is not for him alone but a responsibility of the Church of God as well, adding that it is by the grace of God.
The Vice President called on Nigerians and the Church to pray which he said is so important now.
Earlier, the representative of Pastor E. A. Adeboye who is the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Kalejayi, said the theme for the special thanksgiving service was “The Power of Thanksgiving.”
He said the Church thank God for the Vice President whom He has honoured, stressing that thanksgiving is spiritual sacrifice. According to him, God’s will and divine expectation had provoked divine multiplication.
“The ungrateful are great fools,” he explained, stressing that by giving thanks to God for what He has done the lost glory of Nigeria will be restored and people will know the country for great things.
Prayers were offered for the Vice President and his family, Nigeria as a nation and President Muhammadu Buhari. [myad]
