In his sermon, Bishop Edwin Jarumai, Secretary-General of Supernatural Love Ministries (SLM) encouraged Christians to be strong anytime they were confronted with challenges.
Jarumai who took his reading from the Book of 2 Chronicles Chapter 20 Verse 1 to 30, said that help would always come from above, not from man.
“We must recognise that over energy and intellect will not help us but it will come from above.
“Anytime you are confronted with a problem, either as a nation or in the Church, solution will come from God.
