Mrs Aina was sitting in her room when her phone rang. hello!!!?she
shouted when she heard the vibration in the voice of the caller...it was
her former security man Ben who had called from a far away
village!"madam plea..se join us to pray,the terrorist are disturbing our
peace and have taken over our farm",.....Mrs Aina replied "I will
surely pray,all is well,God will answer our prayers,let us go on 7days
fasting together"...mrs aina promised Ben she would join him in
prayer.As she ended the call,she thought to herself "that village is not
safe at all,thank God security is active here"...she refused to pray
because it was a "village" and meant nothing to her....the next
day,there was a breaking news all over,as the terrorist had broken into
the town the city,,mrs aina heard the news from her office and hurriedly
called her whole family to know if they were fine,finally she relaxed
when she heard soldiers were all over "we are covered here" she said to
herself without sympathy for those that lost their lives in other
villages....7days later,mrs aina got to work,everyone was doing their
various chores,mrs aina sat in her office with her normal positioned legs
on table,phone in the hand,its called the ceo position....then the
office vibrated,shouts everywhere,mrs aina left her office,on getting to
the gate,,they heard a loud sound that threw everyone to different
positions..what happened???.....the office closeby was
bombed...emergency!!!!,
Everyone went out to check,the office nearby
had collapse and people were inside,Mrs aina's extended family were
among the casualties.."eewwoooo these terrorist have entered town o"..
cried mrs aina,we have to fast and pray,she kept on saying,she cried
bitterly and every night,mrs aina wakes up to pray for her country
because it was already affecting her...the point is we were all relaxed
when certain tribulations were happening in our country because it was far
away,now its within us,we know what it feels like..its not too late to
pray.
God bless Nigeria!!!
