Today, my platoon had a match. All through the competition, no team had a win so far. It has been all draw. The was so much pressure around his match. Were we to continue the jinx? Or are we capable enough to start a new trend? Interestingly, the match time overlapped some periods in the evening fellowship. Was I to ignite the match and support my platoon or leave for Church and let my team down?
As much a I am not a football FANatic there are some matches you wouldn't like to miss. If I am just an observer and I'm worried about being late, what happens to the actual footballers who are worried about missing so many fellowship times? Thank God that missing fellowship doesn't incur Heaven's wrath, there wouldn't be any such thing as #AthletesForChrist, #ChristianBusinessmenFellowship
Just as stated I'm my #day8 start entry, NYSC makes final priority lessons. Everyone who wants to do sports can hardly be part of any other thing. He'd probably be playing while others are in Church. And while others are taking a rest, he is practising. By evening after taking his meal he falls dead tired till the next day. Some might call him unserious, but such dedication is very rare.
NYSC is the glimpse of our behaviour in the real world. Here is one reason why fellowship executive council is a platform for ministry. People who have other things doing won't be there. People who are devoted to fellowship are those who you'll find. These ones are most likely already ministry inclinded and do not bother much about the extensive list of volunteering, sporting and social activities. Most people stick to one and just let the other go as opportunity cost.
I should tell you about the match before I retire. We won. This implies that we are the first team to win. If any other team wins, it is because we opened the way. Interestingly, all four goals were scored while I came to watch. I jokingly said they should get me a chair so that I can allow them score more but no one believed. As soon as I left, we never scored anther goal. In fact, we conceded one goal. If they won't get me a chair as I watch the next match, I'll be forced to stop the goals whenever I like ;-)
