While addressing the congregation shortly after the sermon, Ruto narrated how he witnessed over 100, 000 congregants during a church service in the Asian country. "While in South Korea, I had a great revelation; 30 years ago, Kenya was lending money to them, but today, it is the world's 10th largest economy. I received the revelation that it is not by might or power, but by the Spirit of God. I urge Kenyans to trust God with me," the president said. He went on and quoted Zechariah 4:6, a Bible verse that teaches Christians to believe God can make anything possible. "At some point, Kenya made a contribution to support South Korea. Today I went there. I went to seek support for Kenya. They were generous," he added. President Ruto made a three-day state visit to South Korea, on Monday last week. His trip saw the two governments sign trade deals allowing the South Korean business class to invest and create jobs in Kenya.
