Episode 13
It was a Sunday, lectures were going to start the following day, and since I came to school, I had not gone to church, two Sundays had passed already. My mum is a very devoted
Christian, thank God money is not the criteria for being a deaconess in my church, she wouldnât have had the chance.
She had taught me not to miss any Sunday service, as it is written âRemember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.â My
mother had taught me to go to church 52 Sundays a year, 53 if possible, but what exactly was wrong with me, I couldnât
figure out what was going on with me.
I decided to go to church, I talked Mayowa into going with me and he agreed. So we decided to go to âChurch of Christâ.
It was a popular church then, known for quick and short services. The day âholy spirit takes controlâ, and they have to
stay longer than usual, that is when they use up to two hours.
Since most students do not like long services, this church had so many members.
The service was meant to start by 10am and end latest by 12pm. Mayowa and I got to church around 10:30, as a
protocol member gently led us to our seat. The sitting was strictly on a âsit as you comeâ basis. It was a praise and
worship session, the lady leading was so blessed. As at the
time we entered, she was singing the song: âWe give you all the glory. . . We worship you our lord . . . you are worthy to
be praised. . . You are alpha, and omegaâ.
The song really touched me, as I lifted my hands to reference God as the
beginning and the end of my life.
There was a lady just there beside me with a pair of glasses on, whose âpartâ was very correct and loud. I know about
music, as I can play the keyboard, the drum set quite well,
and I can also sing. The lady caught my attention, she had a
pair of glasses on, and she lifted up both hands, singing from the depth of her hearth. âWell, that shouldnât distract
my worship.â I said to myself. I continued, as I was thinking
back on what God has done for me, success, provision, and grace.
All I could do was to thank him. It was time to dance, I danced like there was no tomorrow, I was so happy to be in
the presence of God, I knew I had done whatâs right.
Then the lady leading the praises said âhold a person beside you and say (singing) we are going higher, we are going
higher. . . â I held the lady with glasses I had been admiring all the while.
Well, she didnât see any thing wrong with it as we both sang the song.
The sermon came on, the pastor preached on the topic âheâs ableâ. The pastor showed us the power of God, and the
ability of God to do all things for us, and through us.
He used Ephesians 3:20 as his anchor text. It was a wonderful message. I can never forget it.
The pastor concluded the message, and the âfirst-timersâ
were asked to stand up for recognition. Mayowa and i stood
up, and to my surprise, the lady beside me stood up too.
