God is faithful is a statement I've heard and I've come to know that it is true.
Many years ago, like many today, I also had my issues with God and at a point, I told myself I would intentionally live by my carnal nature with the justification that : Nothing can happen.
I stopped praying, attending Church services and never entertained anything or anyone relating to God.
God has failed me.
I had gone for a party and late that night I was returning with some friends.
We were on 3MB, blasting DMX's Ruff Ryder's anthem whilst doing 200+.
I was the loudest with the lyrics but I wasn't the one driving. All of a sudden, a strange sight appeared towards us, suspended.
🤣🤣🤣.
Tunji, our formula 1 driver stepped on the break and attempted to swerve but we had lost control.
All of a sudden, the car stopped towards the railing of the bridge and the image fluttered back to the sea and disappeared in the blanket of the night.
What happened?! Cars were very few that night but those who passed us kept telling us it was God that saved us.
We started the car, packed by the side properly and switched off the engine.
Sesan said to me: It was you.
I didn't understand but Tunji said: it was you that cried out JESUS! I had lost control and even given up when you shouted JESUS!
You would think I learnt my lesson but I shoved it aside, foolishly angry with God. We got home in silence and later in the day we all began to leave Tunji's place.
'Shebi, Sharon is having a house party tomorrow night?! I think we should pull up". I said.
Jite, the wildest of us, paused and looked at me - I don't know what you have with a God but he saved not only you but all of us.
As for me, I am tired of this lifestyle but if you're not, you can pull up by yourself but for me, I need to have a rethink.
As he walked away, he turned and said: Don't let God spit you out, Patrick. I don't know the Bible like you do but this life isn't for you.
On my way home, I played the whole event and I realized - God was faithful in His part even when I was foolish.
I wept in the car and swore to never go back to that life again.
Tunji began attending Church, got born again.
