*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*
The Pastor announced during the midweek service that the Governor of their state will be coming to worship in the Church next Sunday and everyone shouted for joy.
A lot of people came around to tidy up the Church on Saturday and some men cleared the bushes around the gate of the place of worship.
A new centre rug for the altar was donated by a family and everywhere was looking great. Another family sponsored the repainting of the whole Church in record time. One man quickly ordered new robe for the Choristers. You won't believe that this was our Church that has been left without help for long.
Many people that don't normally come early and those that are not coming regularly were the first to get to the Church that morning, well dressed. Even, those who vowed never to enter Church broke their vow just to see the governor.
The service started and many were not even closing their eyes during prayers to see how the Governor's entourage will enter in grand style.
From the Opening Prayers, Praise Worship to the time of Message, one could see how people were expectant but the Pastor wasn't moved, he just continued with the service unaffected.
Towards the end of the sermon, he asked them that, *"If the Governor enters now, how many of you will have the opportunity to even shake hands with him or how many people can he help?"*
There was great silence in the auditorium. He added, *"You believed me when I told you about his coming”* and everyone adjusted immediately. *"But you never did anything about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ which we've been preaching to you for long."*
*"How sweet will it be, if everyone of us had been preparing to meet our Saviour this way and even render service to God like this?"*
He said, *"Eternal life can't be compared with just a temporary visit of any man who will be removed from office in the next few years."*
*"God is the Most Excellent King and every mortal man called Excellency can't excel on the last day without a deep and undiluted relationship with Him."*
"How prepared are you too?"
*"Remember He's coming for a Church without spot or wrinkle,"* Eph. 5:27 *"So, today is not too late to amend your ways but waiting till tomorrow can be dangerous."*
