Pa! Pa!! Pa!!! – Adewale Sobowale

I’m not restricted to a particular church. At least, not for now.

On most Sundays, Google is always my friend in my search for churches. I’m sure it’s better than the ultimate search put in place by a particular Nigerian brand of shayo!

The particular church is named after the forerunner of the Redeemer.

You know, one couldn’t be careful enough in the matter of churches.

One needs to know whether it’s a spirit filled church or not. Then comes the matter of language.

Anyway, the church I was to attend today, according to Google, is slated to start the English service at 10.50 am. That’s quite fine for people who are serious,

But I can’t forget the saying of one of my immediate past bosses. They would usually conclude that, I’m not serious.

Oh well, it’s not as if I’m not serious, it’s just that one thing would always lead to the other. Especially, when it comes to creative writing, which has become a part of me.

For instance, I’m writing this on a train. And without my glasses!

I was supposed to enter the train, the bus and the train again before getting to the church. However, before I got down from the bus, it was already 11 am!

However, i decided to continue on my journey. When I eventually got to the church, it was 12.40. The main doors were already locked.

I saw a couple coming out of a side door. I then blandly explained to the man that I came for the service. The man never thought twice before asking me to come next Sunday at 11 am!

Meanwhile, in the course of my going to various churches, I had been to a popular white garment church whose reverend, pastor founder claimed his mother was from Ogu9 state in Nigeria.

There, it is claimed that it is the spirit that directs the closing time.

I then begin to wonder if God’s residence is not really in the western world. They are not used to all this vigils yet prayers are answere6.

At least, a way of knowing their prayers are answered is their quality of life!

But in the third world, it’s another thing entirely!!!

PS: Please, do pardon me, if there are any spelling mistakes. I don’t have .my glasses!
