Aiemapt my Egyptian friend finally accepted to attend a church service with me after dragging his feet for more than three months. By 7:30am the following Sunday, I was already parked in front of his apartment waiting for him to join me. I love attending second services.
We made it in time to church; that gave us the privilege of choosing our choice location. We sat two rows away from the podium, directly facing the altar.
The worship songs were on point; I was surprised Aiemapt could sing a couple of songs.
It wasn’t long the ‘man of God’ mounted the podium for the day’s sermon. After the initial exchange of pleasantries, he delved into ‘the word’. “Open your bibles to Exodus 14:13.”
After the reading of the scriptural passage, the pastor lifted a line off the passage and asked us to tell our neighbour “the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them again no more forever.”
I looked at Aiemapt, he looked at me. He crossed his arm over my shoulder and said “don’t worry, we are used to this kind of sermon.”
