Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's spouse Pastor Dorcas Gachagua has issued a statement following Kithure Kindiki's swearing-in as deputy president.
In a social media post on Friday, November 1, Pastor Dorcas shared two Bible verses and expressed that her family was grateful to God.
"We Give God all the glory. It is easy to look at the challenges and circumstances surrounding you and forget the cardinal rule of a believer. Today, my family and I choose to give a prayer of thanksgiving, understanding that, God remains sovereign, whether He saves us from fire or not, Daniel 3:16-18. We give thanks to God for His awesome faithfulness. We call Him, Ebenezer, for this far we celebrate Him. We have seen His mercy and experienced His goodness. Glory and honour be to His Holy name," she wrote in part.
Pastor Dorcas added, "Like Job 13:15-16. Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him! We appreciate your love and prayers. May God bless you all."
