My orientation and understanding from my childhood drama plays and roles made me grow up to think angels are ones I see from my book of Bible stories with big feathers at their backs as wings to fly from heaven to earth to deliver some divine messages and ascend back to heaven where their home is. Not until growth levelled into teenage and adulthood made me realize that there are angels in us as humans who would be there at that die-minute to save one from a situation of no hope. Some humans are too kind to be called humans if not for creation identification as human.
Further knowledge and experiences on this issue has also made me know that there are times we even receive divine helps but it will come through the form of a human cos God won't descend to help us himself when we are in need of one and we won't even wanna stay put no matter how convincing it is that it is a direct angel who has come to help us out of that situation before we take heels and do YahFathiaYah meaning run away, when we see an angel face to face.
Talking about meeting with an angel, up till date I still keep wondering if this person was actually a human, an angel or a human in angel form or an angel in human form. I've not had a definite answer no matter how I try to imagine it and I only just do come to the conclusion of receiving God's timely help at that point in time. It wasn't a late intervention at all.
It happened that myself, my twin sister and some youths were coming from our annual convention in Oyo state in a sienna vehicle, the same vehicle we boarded when going and we all looked so dirty and very sleepy with the hope of getting home soon to take a bath, eat and have a good sleep.
We took the Ijebu-ode route after leaving Ibadan and just about entering the route, we discovered the car was acting up and jacking somehow (I don't really know much practically about vehicles). The person who drove isn't someone who knows about fixing vehicles and he was a senior pastor.
He was able to leave the middle of the highway to almost the side of our lane just to ensure that we are safe. He got down to open the bonnet of the car and some of us couldn't sleep again cos our plans are spoiling already and eyes are getting cleared so we sat up and was getting reading to step out of the car.
Unfortunately, shortly after pastor got down and opened the bonnet to check what only him understands to check that we know he does not understand, the car started moving by itself, reversing back slow and steadily in a movement to cross the road to the other lane.
Pastor started shouting in the words that we couldn't even decode at that point anymore that someone should hold or drag something probably the handgear or something.
Both Pastor and we the youths were frightened and we could do absolute nothing. I included pastor cos he could have just run to us and make efforts in hopping into the car to stop it from moving further but he was just there trying to give instructions until the sienna got to the middle of the highway.
This road was supposed to be a busy road of trailers and small vehicles but none was coming (Miracle 1).
Unfortunately there was this deep shallow sloppy side on the other lane immediately beside the edge of the road(I've forgotten what exactly they call that) where our car was reversing to and there was no doubt about it that we were somersaulting there with no remedy of coming out alive.
Our car crossed the two lanes and was heading towards this shallow side of the road, and at this time we had some number of people watching us like zeeworld movies and wailing at what was about to befall us. I was already saying my last prayers or let me say we, cos everyone had lost hope to be saved and live again (talking about the scene in the car all through would make my article an epistle) cos we were looking at the shallow place we were going into already since I was sitting at the back and I and the rest on that seat would have been the first to visit heaven that day.
But just then we saw a chubby man running very fast from afar towards us and just about the time our car's back tyres were about to go into the shallow something, he opened the driver's door side like zeeworld B4Umovies and entered.
LIKE THIS MAN STOPPED THE CAR WHEN I WAS ALREADY SEEING DEATH EYEBALL TO EYEBALL and GBAM he drove us back to the side of the road.
We all ran out of the car crying profusely at how miraculously we were saved that day with trembling and shaking legs but surprisingly, in the midst of people shouting at how the man could actually be able to do that and save us, we saw him no more.
Till date, I knew not who saved us from untimely death that day but I know vividly that he was nothing other than AN ANGEL.
Thanks for reading through this long 🤗
