The programme was designed to bring Christians within Abuja and its environs together, to have a divine encounter under the ministration of Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday in Abuja, called on Christians to pray to God to `remove all captivity surrounding the country.’’

Osinbajo spoke at an inter denominational programme, organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). The theme of the programme is: Divine Encounter.

The programme was designed to bring Christians within Abuja and its environs together, to have a divine encounter under the ministration of Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

The vice president also prayed that God should let the nations of the world know that God has done great things for Nigeria. In his preaching, the General Overseer, Pastor Adeboye, said when God visits you, and when you visit God, there are two types of divine encounters.

According to Adeboye, for God to visit a Christian, He must have located the person that is why He visited him.

"The Lord God Almighty can see at all times, looking for someone to locate; call on Him while He may be near.’’

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the programme will hold in Abuja every month throughout 2016.
