<\/p>\n
They have been there since the day the church started as a small fellowship. They always remind you that they saw you when you came as a new member. Though they know everyone’s history in church, they can’t cast out a demon… not even a half demon!<\/p>\n
They use the least opportunity to create an impression especially when there’s a newbie in church who they like. When singing, they’ll do all the body swinging and vocal acrobatics! When dancing… don’t even go there!<\/p>\n
They’re the fashion police in church. After church, one will ask the other, “Did you see pastor’s bowtie? I think it should have been a bleached beige instead of purple”<\/p>\n
Sister, is it your purple!?<\/p>\n
They mark everyone’s subject-verb agreement, pronouns, etc in church; from prayer topics to testimonies! After the sermon, one will say to the other, \u201cI think we need to take Pastor through syntax!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Syntax. Ayekoo!<\/p>\n
They’re the singles who are almost close to ‘pension’ age. Before the pastor ends his prophecy, “This year, I see three people marrying”… twenty of them are already somersaulting on the floor!<\/p>\n
To them, the only sin they know is fornication. They have the sexual statistics of every member and can even use them as prayer topics in church!<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll raise a prayer topic during intercession, \u201cChurch. Pray. I can see one sister casting her net near a spiritually-bankrupt elder. Pray!\u201d<\/p>\n
They alone know which mobile network God called them with. They’ll look into your face, “Hey brother. God showed me something. Your mother is a woman and your father is a man!”<\/p>\n
They always sound like they could preach better. They correct, “That Scripture should have been Luke 12:12a instead of just Luke 12:12. He should have used KJV instead of NKJV.”<\/p>\n
They always have novels and textbooks with them in church. They are always in haste to go do one assignment or the other.<\/p>\n
Don’t mind them. They’re still writing NovDec!<\/p>\n
They’ll copy everything in church; from the way others walk to even the tongues they speak. Ei!<\/p>\n
Don’t you just love church!<\/p>\n
