Yes, on a couple of occasions. The bible says, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God saves him from them all. My weirdest experience was in an aircraft. Prior to that time, God had revealed to me a desolate area inside bush. There I saw sticks placed by each burial ground which usually identify those buried, name by name. The sticks were many inside that desolate bush...white in colour. It was a place where mass burial took place. I said please God,.let this not be my portion. I prayed ceaselessly to God until I was satisfied. Barely a week after, I was on the plane from Abuja to Lagos. I won't mention the airline so I don't stigmatise against it. Suddenly, the plane was going down as if it was going to crash, people shouted...an imam was shouting allahuakbar while we started shouting Jesus and some screamed God! There was a senior military officer right behind me panicking with his face down...probably he was praying. I said God,.let this not be my portion. You had revealed this and I had sought your face. I've been flying around the globe since 2004 and had never encountered such a scary moment in my life. All of a sudden, the plane maintained balance and ascended again. People shouted for praise. Until we landed in Lagos, one passenger was holding his fellow passenger in his shirt due to shock. I can't forget that in my life. God truly loves me 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Yes, when an hilux driver driving one way on the expressway caught me on my lane with trucks on the outer lane, leaving me nowhere to escape to. I miraculously found a small space to manoeuvre and escaped death by whisker. A day I can never forget. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I had no seat belt on and next was me flying across board and hit my face on the windscreen. All the airbag was bursted and likewise my forehead. I came down and accessed the damaged. Mehn the car was wrecked 4 Likes |

Have to share this. Just thinking about it brings to my eyes, tears of gratitude to God.. Was about to cross a BRT lane and was totally lost in thought.. didn't look to see if a bus was coming. I had decided to cross and was about to step into the BRT lane when for some inexplicable (then) reason I hesitated. Immediately a BRT on full speed zoomed past me! I'm talking split second. I would certainly have been killed if I had crossed. With the benefit of hindsight I can now say that it was most definitely God. 12 Likes 1 Share |

chatinent:Until you figure out the important of time to the universe, you'll never understand. It has nothing to do with me believing in God or not. Bible clearly stated in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Your birth, life and death were already concluded before your born... God can't undo it. |

Well I have had some close encounter.... But one of them is still very much in my memory. It happened around August 2019, then I was based in Ikot ekpene, Akwa Ibom state. So on this particular day, I set out on a journey to Imo state going through Aba, for some of us who are familiar with Ikot ekpene-Aba road, It is very bad especially the abia state stretch of the road. So due the bad state of the road, the fastest means of transportation along that axis is through okada(bike). So, I boarded a bike, we were two the bike man making us three. we set out, the bike man was really on top speed, we beckoned on him to reduced the speed but he wouldn't listen. Few seconds later, what happened next is what I could not explain but it was a terrible crash and we found our selves on the tared road at different direction, brusies all over my body i almost lost my front teeth and I still feel pains on those teeth up till today. Well, I still continued the journey to Aba, but not in one piece and on a different bike. 5 Likes |

When I was an infant, I was crawling dangerously close to the edge of our veranda. I had comfortably slipped under the metal barrier and half my body was now dangling 3 storeys above ground. My mom who was in the kitchen suddenly felt my absence and rushed out just in time to calmly pull me in. My mom told me that I had noticed that I was about to fall off something as my legs were now dangling mid-air. I was now struggling clumsily to pull myself back up, but with very little upper body strength, it wasn’t happening. A few more struggles and I would have fallen off. That’s how my story would have ended before it even began. God bless every mother out there. Y’all are guardian angels. 14 Likes |

I had one some years ago. I went for Road Walk at about 5:am along Awolowo Road walking towards Falomo, I was playing a very loud music with my earphones although I was walking on the other side of the road so I could see on coming vehicles. I just climbed the walkway paver and the next thing I saw was a vehicle on high speed past very close to me. If I had not climbed that minute it would have been a disaster. And the driver didn't even stop to say sorry. 1 Like |

Haryhomyidhey: Is not God he's got nothing to do with it only African morooons keep disturbing God even after he has shown countless times that he doesn't care who dies or lives. A man survived the world trade center collapse he still died a month later in a plane crash, a very good pastor working for God just got slaughtered by Islamic mob in Kano for preaching too much and he was buried yesterday. The honourable and upright Myles Munroe perished along with almost all his family in a plane crash on an evangelism trip, pastor Bimbo Odukayo was burnt alive in Sosoliso crash while working and promoting God. How many more examples do black people need to finally get it? How many? If you escaped today thank your stars or God but don't count on being lucky next time. This is what white people have realized and hence why they don't overdo religion anymore. There's no pattern young man there's only chaos 1 Like 1 Share |

When I was a teenager, I was returning from an errand in a coaster bus. Just before the Gbagada bridge, by Mobil, we noticed some NEPA wires fell. Vehicles were being stopped. The bus I was in was right in front. The driver stopped. We were in the service lane because we were supposed to ascend the bridge and turn into Gbagada. For reasons that can't be explained, the driver suddenly moved back into the main express lane. Other passengers complained at what they saw as an irrational move. I was in front by the driver. Less than a minute later, a trailer came barrelling down the road on the service lane at high speed. The trailer driver saw the wires too late. When he tried to brake, the trailer tumbled and I kid you not, I witnessed this in slow motion. The trailer rolled over and crushed two or three cars parked in front of the Mobil filling station. The force of the accident caused the trailer head to break away from the body. Moments before the accident, a woman had been sitting in the passenger side of one of the cars, a white benz. The door was open and her feet were on the floor. The trailer crushed her. The trailer lost control and started somersaulting from the exact spot where we had been parked just seconds earlier. I still wonder what made our bus driver move away from that spot. Maybe he had a premonition, maybe it was coincidence, but God saved me that day and I will always be grateful for that. 16 Likes 1 Share |

I stay in the north and will be traveling farther north tomorrow with my family, been doing fasting and prayer since 2 days ago now. Just like someone said, living in Naija and especially living in the north is a step closer to death itself. God will continue to spare our lives. We shall not die but live to glorify God's name. 7 Likes |
