God With Us

Smoke everywhere. Not of fire but the fragrance of worship. I have never been so blessed like I was in today's church service.

Youth Sundays are always the best for me. The young adults and youths have been commissioned to handle church proceedings every third Sunday of the month.

Earlier, before the church service began, youth members have begun to troop into the church hall as against their norm. Probably they have been convinced of the need to be more effective in handling the things of God. I sincerely was taken aback by this venture.

As soon the worship session was to begin, a ***gang of instrumentalists *** burst in from the vicarage. The whole atmosphere became lightened up. The worship session was so tensed like we should not stop yet. You can trust that when young people are involved they can raise the roof.

A playlet was presented too. Short, it tells of a young man who had been very active in the service of God but went to the world. The consequence lost all he had and was about to retrace his steps when he died of a cancerous ailment. It was shot planet but it drove home a lot of lessons. No doubting it, salvation is the only to God.

Ben was the one who took the message. God with us Emmanuel.

He centered his teaching on the story of a young innocent. t-girl who was returning from church rehearsal on Saturday evening. She had to take the shortcut since it was getting dark.

The bush path she followed was deserted. When she came towards the part of town that separates the forest and the town, in a huge uncompleted building, she saw a young man standing around like he was waiting for someone. The young lady became so scared that she began to mutter prayers of protection. She passed the man and was so happy that she was not touched.

Few minutes after she had gotten home. A young girl of about sixteen years had been murdered by the same man she saw standing like he was waiting for someone. The law enforcement agents got him arrested.

When the interrogation was ongoing, he confessed to the crime and mentioned that a lady had passed earlier, more beautiful than the victim. When asked why he didn't hurt her, he said:

A man in a White robe was walking in close distance with her.

She escaped been raped and murdered because God sent an angel to watch her.

This is how God secures His own. He will never leave as victims in the hands of the wicked, those who device wicked acts.

Long before we were formed in our mother's womb, God knows us and called us. He that keeps Israel does not sleep not slumber. God still watches over His people. He is closer than we can ever imagine. Let your heart not be trouble, He has overcome the world.
