How great is the Lord God Almightyunder whose wings we are secured. He alone can kill and can make alive. His

generations traveling together.
You see, we left a vigil recently

Because the program was powerful, exciting and prophetic enough to bring the
best out of us, we did not sleep at all throughout the night. We planned to get
home in time and sleep till God- knows -when.
We were on Kobape road with few of us, motorists on the highway and one by one
we started dozing until we all slept.
I remembered mum was the only one awake driving before l gave in to slumber.
As mum would later tell us, she
wound up the side glass of the vehicle and this contributed to her sleeping
while driving.

Those who are familiar with that road will acknowledge that there is a long
valley stretched out for a kilometer or there about after the kerb into the
thick forest.

Mum was already on the kerb, only
God knew for how many meters, almost going into the ditch when God came in.

God honored the Word spoken by his
servant telling the people, who had gathered at the program, that the way back
to our destinations would be clear for us and that we should go in peace as

And truly, this was confirmed in us-
we escaped death by the Word of God spoken through HIS messenger. Please, join me to appreciate this God. Or how
