This unseen God.
I want to compare two true live experiences or scenes.
A female teacher (woman) was stoned to death by secondary
school students for allegedly threw a quran she collected from one of them
cheating in islamic religion studies exam to the floor. When the children of this woman was
brought from the northern part of the country to the grand mother at Lagos, the old
woman, in a terrible state of agony curse God for not intervening and prevented
her daughter from being murdered. she said "where was God when her daughter was mercilessly killed"- imagine the emotion. We learned that the deceased actually ran and
ran shouting for help from neighbors who, knowing the sensitive nature of the
environment they were, and never came out to her rescue.
Another woman (a widow) came out to give a testimony about
this same God. She was on her way into a bushy area, a location for her piggery.
Suddenly, an unknown man came out from her back and pounce on her. He was on a
mission to strangle her to death. She in turn on the ground struggled with her head-tie wrapped round the face of the man to save herself. However, it got to a
point the man seems to be overpowering her, so she just said in
such a helpless situation and I quote “Jesus; will you just keep watching me
like this?”--again, imagine the emotion. Immediately, there was this pull from the back that lifted the man
off her. The man ran to get on his bike. She ran after the man unto the main
road and tried to shout but the man ran away. She discovered two other men just came out
of nowhere inside the same bush. Probably they were his accomplice, no one can
tell. The widow said she kept on vomiting blood for the next few days and vow
to continue to proclaim the salvation of God from the hand of a murderer just
as she enters into new year 2017.
This same unseen God! in the latter case, she was able to call on Him in that
helpless state while the teacher in former case call on men.
The questions is; whose fault?
God ? Or the woman who did not remember or be reminded at such unexpected time.
well! one thing is sure, this unseen God can be so real to you, not only when you are in a very dangerous situation but at all time. the widow called on a real God, though unseen yet doing all seen things.
thank you.
