Amos 8: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Helen, Segun and Stellar were all traveling back to Lagos with pastor Israel from Onitsha, it’s been two days since they left Lagos for Onitsha for a 3days city crusade organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria Anambra Unit and pastor Israel also happened to be one of the preachers in the crusade, they all planned to leave Onitsha for Lagos the 3rd day which also happened to be Saturday so as to prepare for the Sunday service.
As they boarded Chisco transportation bus from Ewuluobia park, Pastor Israel led everyone on the bus in prayer, but as they were praying, the holy spirit ministered to brother Segun to stand up and preach in the bus, so he stood up and did exactly as the holy spirit said without taking any excuse from Pastor Israel his pastor, he preached on a topic which he titled, your last bus-stop, according to him, he never knew why the Holy-spirit gave him the topic , he told the passengers their coming in to the world is like boarding a bus, and any moment they can decide to alight from the bus even when they haven’t gotten to their last bus-stop, no one knows the exact hour but everyone should prepare and this might be their last chance because the door may soon be closed, after a long talk, 3 of the passengers (Hammed, Doris and Ijeoma ) lifted up their hands in the bus and agreed to surrender their lives to Christ and he led them to Christ.
Some hours later as they were almost approaching Ore in Ondo state, they suddenly came across some people who disguised themselves as law enforcement agents, stopping buses for searching, but the moment they stopped their bus, another set of people came out of the jungle to join the supposed law enforcement agents and opened fire on all the passengers including the driver and the little ones in the bus shouting Takbīr ….Allāhu akbar! And no one could escape their bullets.
.
The moment everyone in the bus received their portion of the bullet, it was as if a force pushed them out of the bus and they began to run, they didn’t understand how they got out of the bus, neither did they understand where they were running to, they were all running like super heroes because they all possessed the ability to run 900kilometer within a minute, and as they were running the race, they looked invisible to everyone they passed by, their speed was outrageous because they could run faster than a jet, how could this be possible on foot? They didn’t understand either. All they could remember was boarding a bus from Onitsha, brother Segun preaching and the sounds of the gun shot.
After they had ran about 8000km, they all turned and ran back to the spot where they heard the gun shot, but on getting there, they saw their dead bodies lying down on the floor brutalized, they also saw people gathered together watching their bodies on the floor, when they all came back to where their bodies lay, they were all surprised to still see themselves standing beside their bodies, they were all wondering how this could be possible, they tried to touch their body but they couldn’t because their hands were passing through their bodies like trying to touch air, the body lying on the ground was clothed while the one standing was naked, they could see the shadow of the one lying on the floor but the one standing didn’t have any shadow, they couldn’t even feel the heat of the sun anymore neither could they hear the sound of the birds singing, they couldn’t passive the air nor breath in like they have being, they tried to communicate with the people around them even screaming but none could hear their voices anymore, it was then that they realized that they were dead. The moment they all realized no one could see them or hear them, they began to cry because they were never prepared for the journey they were about to embark on.
After a while, a terrible cold came upon them and they were all shivering, the colour of the sky had changed into another color they have never seen before, the cold was very heavy on them and a terrible thirst also came on them all, then they began to beg people around them to give them water to drink and clothes to cover themselves because of the cold but no one could hear them, they were all crying because the cold was unbearable for them, they had never experienced such cold before.
.
As they were running from one place to another seeking for help, Suddenly a bright light shone from the sky, and a white sparkling garment came on brother Segun (the preacher) and some Angels descended from the sky to pick him up and disappeared into the sky, out of the 83 passengers who were helpless, only 1 man was picked from among them and the remaining became helpless, then they began to run from one place to another looking for those people who had preached to them when they were alive, while some were looking for their pastor so that he can preach the word of salvation to them again and quickly repent, perhaps the Angel will come back and pick them too, but they couldn’t find any help, they could travel from one location to another within a second, they so much desire to read the message of salvation they once ignored on socio media, but it’s too late, they never found any help, they were all crying bitterly trying to enter back into their bodies but they couldn’t.
After a while, an ambulance came around and took their dead bodies to the mortuary. A few days later, the government decided to give them a mass burial. All these passengers were present to witness their burial except brother Segun, they were all crying but no one could see them. After the burial, the sky opened and they all began to float upward, they couldn’t control their floating, but it was as if a force was grabbing them out of the earth into another destination, after a while, they found themselves in a place that didn’t look like earth, but looks like another planet, there were millions of travelers walking through this unknown planet but no one could communicate with another. They were just humming with their mind, like zombies, and they were all naked, their senses became keener and they understood everything they saw, but they didn’t have the sense of turning backward. Their heart was very hurt because they never prepared for this journey; their ears keep troubling them with all the message of salvation they have ever listened to when they were alive, they so much desired to go back to the world to receive these messages and amend their ways because they all believed they had wasted their lives.
Helen, Stellar and pastor Israel were not taken along with brother Segun, even though they were preachers too and they die on the mission field, but their hearts convinced them that they were unworthy. They realized every second of their lives without God was a waste of life, they were so much afraid because they didn’t know what awaited them ahead, all they knew was that the road leads to the judgment hall even without anyone explaining to them. Children and adults, great and mighty men, soldiers and kings, governors and presidents, doctors, lawyers and judges were all journeying together equally in regrets, they were all matching together towards the same direction yet they never communicate with each other
Many of the passengers too were Christians but couldn’t understand why the Angel had refused to take them home like brother Segun, some of them even died asking God for mercy like Hammed, Doris and Ijeoma who gave their life to Christ in the bus, but yet they were never taken home by the Angels, Suddenly they saw something ahead of them that looked very scary, they saw a mighty gate ahead of them, which Is very far from them, but they couldn’t get to the gate without first passing through a valley ahead of them, there is no alternative way to follow except this valley, as they match through this valley, they began to observe some strange things going on in this valley, the atmosphere looked demonic and scary, darkness was everywhere and they could hear strange and horrible crying of people in the valley, but the sense to run back was never there, but they kept on moving closer to the valley, suddenly the thought came to their mind again, “this is the valley of the shadow of death
WHY DIDN’T THE ANGEL TAKE THE NEW CONVERTS, PASTOR ISRAEL, HELEN AND STELLAR TOGETHER WITH BROTHER SEGUN? (to be continued)
