Part 4
"We are home!!!" Debby said as they got home
"Sarah!!!" Mother called as she came out of the room
"Welcome ma" Sarah greeted her and Debby also greeted her
"Thank you. I hope nobody asked of me?" she said
"No ma, I hope no problem? Sarah asked
"Not at all. We will discuss about that later. I am so tired and I need to freshen up. Wait, is my husband back?" she asked
"No ma but we spoke not quite long and he said, he will be home shortly" Sarah said as Debby yawned
"Thank you my dear. Let me change so that I can prepare what we will eat" mother said as she stood up
"No mummy, just tell us what to prepare. Myself and Debby will handle it" Sarah said
"Ehn, but I also need to freshen up" Debby said
"Like I didn't know. You can go and freshen up o. We will start cooking when you come back. So, you better be fast so that you can eat early" Sarah said and her mother smiled
"Thank you my love, for always supporting me. God bless you" mother said
"Amen" Sarah said as mother left, while Debby also went to freshen up and change her wears
"I will be waiting for you" Sarah said..
*FEW MINUTES LATER*
Debby came out and said "I am ready ma, please can we start now"
"Yes we shall" Sarah said as she stood up and they went inside the kitchen. Debby was singing as they placed the food on fire
"So, gist me. How was the rehearsal? Sarah asked
"My sister, it was wonderful and powerful. It's me and James that is leading the praise and worship tomorrow. Though, we haven't finalize on which one I will be leading" Debby said
"Wait, James isn't in the choir department yet. So how come? Sarah asked
"Yes, he came to represent his father and it turned out that he happens to sing well. He is really empowered by the holy spirit and so, mummy chose him, since it's our service in the adult service" Debby said..
"Wow, that's so great. I am always glad when I hear of guys who still burn for God. I pray we shall continually burn for him" Sarah said..
"Amen...though I wasn't happy when mummy chose him but I know its for the best and also, I got to see my childhood friends again" Debby said and smiled..
"Yes, I understand that feelings. So when are you both going to finalize who to take the praise and worship? Sarah asked as Debby phone rang
"Oh, he is the one calling" Debby said and excused herself.
After the call, she came in and said "I am leading the worship and he is leading the praise"
"Okay, that's good. You have to depend on the holy spirit to lead you" Sarah said..
"Yes sis" Debby said as their dad strolled in
"Welcome daddy" the both greeted.
"My great child, how are you doing? He asked
"Fine sir and how was the meeting" Sarah said
"It was fine, thank God" daddy said and left
"Hmm, I hope its not about the ordination service tomorrow?" Debby said
"Who knows?" Sarah said as she turned off the light of the gas cooker and served everyone food.
After eating, they prayed together and went to sleep

Part 5
Sarah and Deborah, woke up in the midnight as they prayed together but Debby felt the urge to continue in prayers while Sarah sleep back. After the prayers, she studied and was about to sleep when she realise the time was 4am
"Wow, let me take my bath" she said and stood up as she was singing
At exactly 6:00am, their mother came to knock as usual for prayers. Debby woke Sarah as they stood up and went outside.
They greeted their parent, as they got to the sitting room
"My dear Sarah, please can you lead us in prayers?" father said as Sarah led the prayers.
"I am sure you ladies know you should be ready by 8:15" father said after the prayers
"Yes sir" they said as they left the sitting room
"Ooh ...God bless you for bathing earlier. If not ehn, everything will be in an hurry" Sarah said as she entered the bathroom.
By the time she came out, Debby was already dressed up...
"Oshey... You look good o. So you guys also copied the ushering department, because we are also putting on corporate wears" Sarah said as she was dressing
"No o...I am just hearing that. I won't be surprised if other department are also dressing corporately. The spirit of God is one, so we dress in unison" Debby said
"Okay o...I hear you ma" Sarah said as she was through dressing up
"No powder or lip balm" Debby asked
"No, I don't want to" Sarah said and smiled
"Okay ma. We can go out now...Are you set? Debby asked
" Yes, we can" Sarah said as she opened the door.
Their parent were dressed up, waiting for them because it's almost 8:15am. They all stepped out and enter into the car.
*CHURCH*
They got to the church, at exactly 8:30am as the worker's prayer meeting was about to start.
Sarah and Debby after greeting few people, went straight to their department.
Debby walked to an empty chair, at the middle row and sat down, as she prayed. Immediately she lifted her head, she saw James waving to her. She waved back and greeted her friends before the workers prayer meeting start.
Sunday school class started immediately after the prayers. Then, the opening prayer was led as mummy olabode signal to James and Sarah, so as to get prepared for the praise and worship session.
During the worship, the presence of God was felt in their midst, as some were in tears and some were praying and singing passionately. Also, the praise was joy unlimited.
Evangelist Funsho, took the prayer before the pastor, pastor Ejiwunmi took the sermon which he called THE HIDING PLACE. After the sermon, he prayed and the General overseer (G.O), Pastor Gbenro walked to the pulpit for the ordination service.
"Now, we all know the youth church will be opened next week. So, it is expected of us to appoint the leaders" He said as everyone remained attentive especially the youth, even though they were happy.
