After-effect of journalist's daring act
In a Facebook post on January 25, Chineme, who had just left a church that negatively affected her emotionally, said she decided to worship at House on the Rock one Sunday and was left dumbfounded by the spirit of excellence she felt throughout the service.
Despite the pastor not calling for any donations, she said she decided to do something daring to tap into the excellence she felt in the church and thought the best way to achieve this was to sell her Honda (End of Discussion).
According to Chineme, she called her husband, who wasn't in town, when she got home to seek his permission to sell the car, and she sold it afterwards.
Chineme added that she took some of the proceeds, changed them to $1,000 (N1.3 million in current value) and took the money to the church's office.
Since her act of faith, the journalist noted that her life has never remained the same on a positive note. Her story partly read:
"...Long story short, I decided to visit House on the Rock that faithful Sunday, I was reluctant, but wanted for my kids to do children’s church.
"So, as I got into the metropolitan church auditorium, I was hit differently.
"Jezzz, the level of excellence I saw left me dumbfounded
"Pastor Paul didn’t call for any donations because, there wasn’t any special event. However, I knew I wanted to tap into the spirit of excellence I felt, so I made up my mind to do something radical.
"I got home from church, called my husband who wasn’t in town then and requested for permission to sell my car (Honda, End of Discussion). He said it’s my car, I can do whatever with it.
"Na so I sold my car that week ooo, changed some of it to $1000 and went to drop it off at the church office. I never met Pastor Paul or any of the pastors, didn’t want to either. The balance of the money I put into my work with teenagers.
"I bet you, my life never remained the same since then. People say I’ve got a touch of excellence, yes, it’s always been there from birth, but like when Elizabeth met with Mary mother of Jesus, the baby inside of her leaped. That’s exactly what happened to me that day.
"I have never met Pastor Paul one on one, but I’ve been blessed by his grace and greatness..."
