President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has reaffirmed government’s commitment to strengthen cordial relationship with religious institutions in the country, arguing that it is key in fostering national development.
He was speaking Sunday when he attended a church service at Fountain of Victory Church International at Kwacha in Blantyre.
Chakwera encouraged the church to enhance the relationship with government in delivering services to Malawian people while moving together with one vision of serving the citizenry while developing the country.
“I will not settle for anything less because this nation was meant for greatness. I will not sit idle when I know that God does not want us to worship idols but him alone who will give us the ability, capacity and the strength to create wealth in this land,” he said.
The President appealed for peaceful co-existence among the faithful and ensure that the freedom of worship isn’t infringed and doesn’t infringe others.
In his sermon, based on Philippians Chapter 2 verses 12 to 13 and Acts Chapter 9 verse 33, Founder and President of Fountain of Victory Church International, Apostle Joseph Ziba, urged Christians to understand the responsibilities and roles of helping the country to develop.
The church has over 70 branches across Malawi and is established in South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Republic of Ireland, Philippines and the United Kingdom.
