The First Lady Gertrude Mutharika on Sunday attended a prayer service at Kapita Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP) congregation in Lilongwe where she shared her reflection on spiritual life with the congregation.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the service held under the theme \u201cA call to love\u201d, Mutharika said she plans to visit and congregate with more than one church during Sunday services of worship and other religious events to demonstrate her faith in God.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have the desire to search God. I want to assure you that I will be present not only in this church but many others so that one day I see God,\u201d she told the jam-packed church hall that hosted the service.<\/p>\n
Referring to John chapter 20 verses 15 to 16, which were amongst those read by Kapita Church Minister Reverend Christopher Kanyenda, the First Lady said Mary Magdalene was seeking Jesus Christ and found Him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have learnt a lot from the pastor\u2019s preaching. One of the lessons I have taken is church attendance and the search for God. I have heard from God and I have to be available to listen to God,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In his sermon, Reverend Kanyenda said attending church is very significant because it ensures that those who fall short of faith have the chance of being saved and continuously walk with Jesus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unfortunate that some people only know how to search for employment and not God. They do not attend Sunday service of worship, morning devotions, women, men and youth guilds\u2019 meetings including prayer and fasting days,\u201d Kanyenda said.<\/p>\n
He then called on the congregation to demonstrate love for Christ saying Jesus responds well to the love people show him.<\/p>\n
