My Miracles… BY AGBA JALINGO

I had thought I would never turn out to be anything in life because I was told so, but my God proved everyone wrong.

I have been locked up in Police stations more than 50 times, in all, my God came through.

I have been incarcerated in five different prisons by both the government and some powerful individuals who swore they would deal with me and kill me. In all, my God came through.

I have been attacked by kidnappers who shot 36 bullets into my vehicle, two of us inside survived unhurt.

I survived the Dana Airline crash, just because God made sure I did not board the flight even when I had already collected my boarding pass. I was toasting a woman and God used that occasion to make me miss the flight and board another.

I have waited on God for close to two decades for a miracle and God answered.

I prayed to God for a good wife and a stable home and God over answered.

There are a lot more I don’t want to mention before bad belle people start their wicked plans.

How God did all these things, I still cannot understand. I sincerely can’t.

And there are so so many things I am still believing in and praying for. So many.

I have seen God in action in my life and the affairs of my family. I believe in miracles. I love God. I mean my God. He may not be yours.

But I will forever resist lies packaged with godly designs and fragrances.

I will never elevate any man to God in my life. Never! God gave me a functional brain. I will use it. I will not allow anyone, regardless of the title you attach to your name to do my thinking.

Be you a pastor or imam or a babalawo or a professor, I won’t hand over my thinking faculty to you. I can follow your reasonable directions. I can reason with you. God also talks to me. Yes he does.

When men lie, whether from the pulpits or from preaching pews or from political conference rooms or from royal thrones, we must all hold them accountable and never be shy or scared. No one can command God over our lives. God does with us whatever he likes. Again, God is not from anyone’s village.

Yours sincerely,
