Every day comes with new hope and challenges for which man can either fall or breakthrough. Today is one such day. Like every other day, I woke up, full of life and desire to meet up with all appointments but something came up.
I had always gone to church to celebrate and dance to new songs and the rhythm from the lyrics and lines of the choir. Sometimes, the orchestra made my mind blow, year ung for more music. You know they say that music is the soul of life.
This had been the ,basis for which I don't miss your h services on Sunday. In fact,I would have to select the clothes to be worn to church, get them iron and even my shoes. I'd have polished and brushed them so that I have no hassle seeking how to appear on Sunday morning.
Now, like every Sunday church service, I was expectant that the choir will get explosive again. That was my expectation. Did I get what I wanted? Not really.

This time, the pastor mounted the pulpit and led us in a strange worship. It was an intensed session of worship that pierced my heart and changed my orientation of just dancing away to the rhythm of the music.
After the worship, the pastor made us seat in the most decorum.church service of the year and took us through the topic of the day.

Time is a factor in catching the miraculous. God works with time. He is passionate about time.
The time to incline your ears to God Almighty is now not later because it may seem like a man will live forever but truth is that the time at the disposal of man, is very short.
Therefore, man ought to redeem the time with his creator before it is dark.
Elisha kept the faith and followed his master till the very end. When his masters were taken away, a double portion of the anointing of his master fell on him. It was a time of refreshing for the young man, Elisha.
As he returned from that life-changing experience, the sons of the prophets who had made him a laughing stock began to prostrate because they could not look at his eyes directly. He has captured fire in his bones and body.
