The return of President Muhammadu
Buhari to Nigeria from the United Kingdom
on Saturday caused celebration at the Aso
Villa Chapel on Sunday.
Worshippers, during the Sunday Service,
expressed their joy in songs and dance.
They sang various songs in Hausa, Igbo and
Yoruba languages to give glory to God for
healing the President.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who had
acted on behalf of the President for 103
days when Buhari was in the UK on medical
ground, was among the worshippers.
The Aso Villa Chapel’s Administrator, Rev
Isaac Ambi, who presided over the service,
said the church was happy that the
President had a safe return.
He said “We want to rejoice with our father,
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, for the safe
return of our President and our father,
Muhammadu Buhari. And we also want to
thank God on how He has used you in
piloting the affairs of Nigeria while the
president was away,”
Prof Durosinmi Etti, urged the worshipers to
celebrate the Lord for what He has done in
the President’s life.
He then sang the popular song: “What shall
we say unto the Lord, All we have to say is
thank you Lord..,” to rejoice with the
President.
Prayers of thanksgiving were also offered in
the three major languages by the
immediate-past Chairman of the Federal
Civil Service Commission (FCSC), Deaconess
Juan Ayo; Reverend Ambi and Mr King
Opuru.
A special ministration with the title: “All
Things are Working for My Good” was also
rendered by the choir to honour the Lord
for spearing President Buhari’s life.
In his sermon entitled: “What is New for a
Christian,” the church Administrator, Rev
Ambi, urged everyone who has accepted
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour to continue
to live according to the dictate of Christ.
He cited John 15:1-11 and Psalm 23 in the
Holy Bible.
He said “A Christian life is a matter of
relationship; knowing the rules and the
regulation. So what is your relationship with
the Lord Jesus Christ?
“We are supposed to have a kind of
relationship that draws our strength from
Jesus Christ,” he said.
He said that the new things a Christian has
include a new position, a new possession, a
new product and new focus.
“As soon as we receive Christ, we will
experience the great exchange according
to 2 Corinthians 32. So you have a new
position because Jesus has taken the centre
stage in your life and that is why a Christian
must not engage in shady deals. 2
Corinthians 5:17 says if any man is in
Christ, he is a new creature,” he said.
Conspicuous absent during the service were
the Wife of the Acting President, Mrs
Dolapo Osinbajo; the Chaplain of the Aso
Villa Chapel, Pastor Seyi Malomo and his
wife.
