HE DELIVERS US FROM THEM ALL!

Yesterday the 27^th of August, 2007 at about 10am I was going to get to the bank and also work with a colleague of mine in Enugu, however, I forgot some documents needed for my transactions so decided to turn back. At some point, I noticed a bus was following me but really did not bother ‘Cos I felt it was a commuter bus. ‘It really was a commuter bus,’ for, before I knew it, these guys had crossed me – three of them came down with guns and two were still in the bus.

I have read books and watched movies and seen people faced with these kinds of situations, and believe me its good- no- better to watch or read, but not happening to you!The scene forced me to a halt, my thinking was accelerated, should I come down – surrender my keys – or even run, scream for help (no one could have heard, my glass was wound up). Before I could make a move, one of  the little devils, was already by my side trying to break through my glass. The thought of killing him and asking God to forgive me later was all that filled my mind.

 I engaged my reverse gear, broke into a fence and was able to pull away from the advancing marauders. From the side, I saw them chamber their rounds attempting to shoot, off I went! Zooming off to no where! All I could think of was escape! Escape! E-S-C-A-P-E!

The next moment I was at my distributor’s office. Once there my resolve gave way and I started crying. What I was not sure of was, where the tears for the damage on my car? For God spearing me? I can’t even tell why I cried, ALL I did was cry. I pulled myself together, got to the police station and was told some of the guys had been arrested.

What a testimonial for the cops! Well, also conscious OKADA (bike) who man saw them while on the attack and alerted the police. In my heart, I swore – I will kill this guy, slap him, just do something to make sure I…..not really sure of what I could do or not do.

 No wonder it is written ‘The Righteous Person Faces Many Troubles, But the Lord Comes to the Rescue Each Time’. In Deed, God came to my rescue. What if they opened fire? What if I died in the process? Did I hear you say God forbid? What if they made away with my car? Did I hear you say it again? Are you asking? Like where was ……..HE DELIVERS US ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN WE KNEW IT NOT!
