my morning

My church is the Living Faith Church worldwide a k a, winners chapel. My branch is in Aba.
It's not allowed for workers to come late to church. On service days, Sundays and Wednesdays.

Yes, today being Sunday morning, I normally wake up by 5: 40 AM to prepare for both 1st and 2nd services. First service starts by 7:00 Am while the 2nd service starts at 8:40 AM. As a worker in the church, I must be in for opening prayers before the proper service begins by sharp 7: am.

I was really surprised to get to church and see that many people have not come, many chairs were empty. I was saying, what happened to people/ members that many have not come?.
I sat down and prayed to God, after which I went and plugged my phone because before I left the house, my phone has gone blank, because NEPA took light at night as their usual way. So before people could come, I have plugged mine to charge, it was charging and I was happy.

After some time, people began to come for the service. I was happy, before the actual time of 6: 40 AM, the opening prayer was made, after the opening prayer. Praise and worship to God was conducted, as you can see everyone standing up to worship and dance to the almighty God. the church service began properly.

call to service/ prayer points for the congregation

This is a call to service, we read from the Bible, the book of psalm 126v1....6, in this reading the congregation will respond with the reader who is standing on the alter. It's a responsive reading

IMG_20220328_102911.jpg
The portion read is here:
*When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
*Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
*The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
*Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
*They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
*He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

This was our responsive call to worship chapter of the Bible for the first service. After this, 6 prayer points came up, everyone of us prayed together to God. We had our testimonies by our testifiers, offerings and tithes were given to God.

The pastor manned the pulpit to preach.
He preached under the month's prophetic focus captioned, " Iam redeemed to the topmost top, Deuteronomy 32 v 9" for the month of march 2022. It says, "For the Lord's portion is his people; Jecob is the lot of his inheritance".

The service came to a close by approximately 8:40 AM on the dot. We shared the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the holy ghost be and abide with us now and forever, Amen.

The 2nd service began with songs of praise, dance and worship to God. The whole senerio was repeated again in the 2nd service for those that like to attend the second service. And those who came for the first left to their different homes. And the second service began straight.

In conclusion, the Sunday services finally was conducted beautifully well, against my initial wondering of thoughts, I'm grateful to God that everything finally went as expected. if people would attend as per the time I came in the morning by 6: 34 am, praise God!!!!, God is always winning, everything went fine.

Thank you every body for reading along side with me. Hope you like this part one ?, Part two will soon appear where we dedicated a new born baby. Thanks and have a beautiful day.
