I shifted my
gaze from the window side of the luxury bus on my way from work. it’s been a
tedious day and trying to get my heart away from activities at work if I could
get some fresh air and nature into my system.
Then
Suddenly there was a screeching of the tires with a high sound, the bus that was on a top speed
suddenly applied the brakes, I was seated at the back and at that moment it was
like the back of the bus lifted. we were on the third mainland bridge , the
longest bridge in Africa..
A greater jolt than that will have landed us
in the sea, what had happened? The car in front of the luxury bus had
suddenly lost control and swerved and turned back with speed facing the bus who
had been in top speed. It happened in less than 2 minutes.
My heart
jolted back to all have learned in church…’in a twinkle of an eye, you might be
facing the creator’ it might be the end of life. Having thanked the lord for
saving me, I thought of the people in the affected car who would have been the
first victim except for Gods intervention. It could all have ended there and
then. The man, his wife and their son.
That day I
broke the rules of don’t preach in the bus, I raised my voice and spoke of God
unmerited favour having just saved us from danger, then I asked the
question: what of if the worst has
happened-will it be a moment of transition or moment of catastrophe and
disaster.
It becomes
an issue of transition if a life is saved and washed by the blood of JESUS but
a disaster if we had walked through life on our way, isn’t it enough punishment
walking by yourself in life and
suffering eternity for that sake too.
We
need not walk alone…we can put our hands into the hands of the Lord and
let him walk us and take the lead. In the time of trouble, he can carry us.
I call for
prayer leading the bus passengers into the hands of the lord and if you're in
that shoes today needing His hand to hold
We all
prayed saying Father in Jesus name
“Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, I come to you today
just as I am. Please forgive me of all my sins. I accept you today into my
heart and acknowledge that you are the Son of God. That you died for my sins
and on the third day, you rose again from death in order to justify me. Please
wash me in your precious blood and write my name in the Book of Life. Give me
the power to live a righteous life from today and make me a productive child of
God. I thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen”.
Isaiah 2 :2-3
2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem
