WORSHIP FEEDS YOUR HUNGER AND GODS’

Some stood still while some others just shook a little from their spot. The gallery audience lifted their voices and hands up to heaven, as the worship leader instructs that those that can speak in tongues should go ahead in adoration to God.WEB-BANNER This leads to a deep song that says “You are worthy to be praised”, “There is none holy as the Lord” even old songs like “I love that man of Galilee”, “Oluwa Oluwa wa”, “Ohun tese ma yamilenu, O Baba”, “Jesus is Alpha and Omega”, “I have seen the Lord’s goodness” were rendered reminding me of when we were much younger.

They were renditions we prayed the choir led. These songs were still tasty on our tongues when the song “Alagbara, you are the mighty God” came up”. The worship leader prophecies healing on everyone that were sick before the program according to the spirit as he was directed. We cannot deny that the power of God heals and has even healed you while you are reading this article. He said in Jer. 32:27; Behold, I am the LORD, the GOD of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?. It is only a powerful person that boasts of nothing being hard to do. All He wants is your trust, an investment that has a turnover of eternal life.

Undoubtedly it is the year of the fullness of God. The momentous camera flash bulbs will almost rip one of his/her vision although this is a careful reminder of God’s provision. We are celebrating a wonderful man of God and so it is forgivable. It was hilarious to know that during the praise session some lay on the floor with me believing they were worshipping but actually sleeping. For me it was first boring to have the choir coming up to sing an hymn when people were tired but in real sense, it was a heartfelt joy they expressed as they sang “Great is thy faithfulness”.117

The songs rendered reminded me of when I was a child in the orthodox church being on the pew. I will stand with a big black hymn book in my hand, rehearsing the Yoruba lyrics that I could hardly pronounce properly, “Emi bani egberun ahon fun iyin Olugbala” meaning “Even if I have a thousand tongues”. It was always a lovely moment for me because the words meant a lot to me as I oozed the feelings of appreciation for being alive.

The reverend would normally figure out parables from the wooden pulpit having a stair case that stands at a left hand corner, in the little piece of land where we worshiped. He would tell us the essence of confessing each words carefully as they always came with power if we believed. Other songs that took me back in time as led by the choir were “Mo duro le Kristi apata”, “Apata ayeraye”, “Do dimu, onife re de beniJesuwi”, “Baba iwo la o ma sin” which concluded one of my most interesting sessions.
