In 49 years since I was saved I have not missed Church on sunday up to 7 times.
In our early days, Emmanuel, one of our members was absent for 3 weeks. When he resurfaced, I said ‘Emmanuel, you are gone’ he said ‘No sir’. I said again ‘Emmanuel, you are gone’. One of the pastors tried to intervene and give an excuse for him. I said ‘No, Emmanuel, I say you are gone’. Suddenly Emmanuel started crying, ‘yes sir, it’s true, I met some friends and even started drinking’.
Just three weeks out of Church and he had gone astray. Praise God, Today he is a pastor in this Commission.
Being in church is a must for anyone to secure his redemption.
