Judgement In The House Of God
Episode 5
 
Location: pastor Eric’s office.
Pastor Eric,who sat in his office,has just finished receiving a call from one of the members when he heard a knock at the door.
He asked the person to come in and the door opened,as Rose walked in,smartly dressed in a knee level blue gown and blackk shoes,holding a black nylon and wearing a smile on her face.
Pastor Eric returned the smile when he saw her and after usual pleasantries,he offered her a seat.
“Good day sister Rose” he greeted
“Good day pastor,I am sorry for coming at this time” she apologized
“Is ok sister Rose, though I was about rounding up my activities before you came but is quite alright, so please what can I do for you?” He asked her
“Well,I thought you might be hungry and tire after all the stress you go through rendering services to every individual that comes to you so I decided to bring you this wonderful meal that I prepared myself” she said bringing out a blue cooler from the nylon and placed it on his desk.
“Oh dear sister, you shouldn’t have bothered to go through all that,I am perfectly fine and I planned on preparing something once I get home” He replied her.
“I know and that’s why I decided to do it.I don’t want you stressing yourself after all this work,and as for bothering myself,let me be the judge of that, please don’t refuse it,I beg you,I really took my time to prepare this and there’s no strings attach to it.”
“Oh sister Rose,I didn’t mean it that way just that-” He paused looking at her and he could see that her countenance has changed and he added” Is ok,I really appreciate this kind gesture and I thank you so much for this,May the good God bless you and replenish your pocket” He said drawing the cooler to himself
“Amen and thanks for accepting too”she replied with a wide smile of satisfaction.
“So how is your work?” He asked her changing the topic
“Work is fine,and how is the church? I don’t even need to ask because I can see the handwork of God” she said
“Oh yes,our GOD has been ever faithful”he replied
“Dear pastor,i have to be on my way now”she said rising to her feet
“Ok sister Rose and may God bless you again” he prayed
“Amen” she replied him with a smile and walked out.
He took the cooler and opened it.
Amazed as the sweet aroma of fried rice and chicken hit his nose.He inhaled deeply,closed it and kept it.

Location: The Perfect Church
The Gigantic building situated up on a little hill and members could be seen trooping in their numbers as they entered into the church.It was on a Sunday and people like always,are excited as they went in,eager to be in the awesome presence of God especially to hear the powerful sermon through the blessed man of God, pastor Eric and most especially the most ever wonderful and golden angelic voice of Angela.
in,side the church,there seemed to be no space as everywhere was occupied with members both old and young,who were dressed in their beautiful attires of various designs and colors.
Up at the altar area,the choir led by Angela were ministering a popular song” It is well with my soul” and the spirit of God seemed to be moving in diversities dimensions.
Mr. Raymond and Mrs. Ajah,both wearing the marching outfit were sitting on the first row in the church, Brother James sat at the end of the third row holding his bible, though he was in church,his mind was very far away as he kept thinking of what his friend has said to him. Rose sat on the first row too, adjacent Mr. Raymond and she was starring directly into the face of pastor Eric, wondering why he has refused to love her the way she loves him. Not a single day without her thinking about the day she was going to finally say “I do” to the man of her dreams.
After the choir ministration,there was minutes of silence as pastor Eric mounted the pulpit.
He held a big black bible in his left hand and a microphone in the night.
He was gorgeously dressed in a cream native attire with a pair of black shoes on his feet. His hair, neatly cut fully sold out his handsome face to the congregation.
The members sat down as some were seeing bringing out their pens,books and bibles, preparing to listen to the word of God.
“Praise the Lord somebody”He scre-med
“Hallelujah” the congregation chorused
“Oh people of God, today is such a wonderful day in the presence of God and am so much happy today,give the Lord a clap offering” He said with a smile.
The congregation jammed their hands together in clap
“God is good”
“All the time”
“I said GOD is good”
“All the time”
“I am very happy today because I received a message from arch Bishop Michael of the soldiers for Christ ministry in South Africa,how many of us has heard of him?” He asked
Few hands could be seen in the air among the congregation.
“Well,the man of God has been doing wonders among the people through the help of the holy Spirit and to God be the glory,we are honored to have him in our church on the 15th of next month”
The congregation clapped in shout and joy.
“Oh yes, what a privilege, among all the church in this nation,he decided to pay us a visit, Praise the Lord somebody”
“Hallelujah”
“So we should all be prepared as we await his coming and i believe that it will be an awesome time in the presence of the almighty,come with all your families and friends, indeed it will be a day to remember”
“Amen”
“Please Sister Angela,you and your team should work and bring out your best on that day”he said turning to Angela,
“well after that now,we come to the word of the Lord for the day”he said as he opened his bible
