The Things That Changed How I See God (1)

I got a call one morning at around 1 AM, it was from a lady in distress. The lady was a broadcaster located in Lagos, she went to Abuja on assignment with her TV station to interview some important dignitaries at an international event.

 She was married as she interviewed various important people at the event, and she caught the eyes of a particular man.  The man approached her and gave her his card, she collected it and gave him her card as well. The man was married and was in his fifties, and the lady in question was 28 years old later in the evening of that same day, this man gave her a call they had a short conversation.

 The man told her he would like to spend some time with her that evening at the hotel. He promised that he would make it worth her while she agreed to his proposition and quickly dressed up she got to his hotel room at about 10 pm they had some small talk and then they had sex as soon as they were done, the man slumped and died.

The lady immediately realised the hole she was in, she panicked for a few minutes and then she got an idea. She called me I mean... (A pastor or minister of the gospel is the last person I would have expected her to call, the way I was raised and the church I attended while I was growing up would have already concluded that she and the man had met with the judgment of God and deserved their fate).

She told me the truth she said Brother Gbenga, this man must not die like this, I want him to come back to life and see me off. After I had left the hotel and the cameras had seen me leave, he could come back and slump if he wanted to but if he died like this I would be arrested and even though it would be proved that there was no foul play, the whole world will know what has happened and my life will be ruined I said "Okay" She laid her hands on him and we prayed for the man together.

 I was praying from Lagos and she was repeating my words in Abuja as we declared life instead of death. The man came back to life (Now you could say "Maybe he fainted or he really didn't die or he was just pretending to be dead or he came back by himself or whatever or however).

 That was not the point, the point was the man came back to life, stood up, showered, dressed up, gave the sister the money he promised her for inviting her over and saw her off to her Uber. 

I had never met the sister face to face before, but the following Monday she and her husband were the first people at my office in Lagos (Another story that ended in praise) This is why I shared this story: I didn't know God could intervene in such a case until that day God did. 

It really changed how I perceived God and how I have come to understand the gospel.

 PS: You can read this and convince yourself. I am encouraging people to do bad things, you won't be the first, the Pharisees that killed Jesus in the Bible also share your mindset .You can read this and see the love of God and his intentionality towards his children, it can encourage you to rethink your decisions and embrace the love of God for you regardless of where you are in your life's journey. You can also read it and save my number hoping that I will help you raise a man from the dead after he dies doing hook up with you. Let me tell you, Kirikiri or Kuje is calling your name, better not answer. The wise will see it for what it is, as for the rest, they will buy wisdom the next time it is available.
