Did you see the part where I said it was late at night, and they had put off the light but were flashing touches on our faces, so how would I be able to do that?

It appears a desperate attempt to rubbish the idea that it's was an act of God.

Perhaps that what you mean by being objective.
I am a Christian and I know a miracle if it happens. This is not because you mentioned yourself those guys saw your face with a touch light and spoke about you..Is that the guy and all that meaning they have some pre information about you ahead of the robbery and they know you can easily spot them

1) they put out all the light while robbing - 1st red flag: Someone in the room may be able to identify the robber(s) hence the need to use torch light to rob

2) On coming to you, seeing your face and leaving - 2nd red flag: Either you are familiar to them or prolonged interaction with you would blow their cover.

It could be a miracle but why would all the others be robbed and you left alone. If no one came to talk to you at all through out the robbery then your claim of a miracle is more valid but since they flashed the torch and you and left you alone; I would veer towards the former.

They might be trying to set you up to be blamed. The stranger that came into a place and it got robbed,he is the most likely suspect.

Many Christians are very insensitive when it comes to their faith. And they don't know that they make their god look like a clown whenever they tell dumb stories like this.
This story is sounding like "I was involved in an accident, 20 people died and only me survived. God saved me because I'm a better Christian"

I'm not surprised it's coming from Jesusjnr2020 himself, an extremist. Such clownery.

Naso e dey happen na.
One of those robbers is from your town in middle-east.

In the Movie "The Wrath Of Man" starred Jason Statham.
Bullion van robbers ambushed a loaded van with just 2 cash officers in it and they ordered the officers to step out of the van.
The first man to come out was the driver, he got a beating and was asked to lie face to the ground
The moment the second guy emerged from the Van, the robbers paused on seeing his face!

And before he could say shitt, they all hurriedly ran away..

Back to the offices, the management couldn't understand the scenerio " Why would a lion spared the antelope calf"?!
They called it a miracle!

Unbeknownst to em, Mr. Statham was a boss of bullion van robbery gangs.

An Armed Robbery Experience I Had Moments After A Holy Ghost Church Service

It happened moments after i just returned from a church program, sometime in late 2003. It was most likely carried out by cultists, since it took place in a university campus hostel.

There were six of us (all guys) inside the room. Four of us, choir members, yet in high spirits having just returned from a Holy Ghost power-packed, Spirit-filled service on campus at about 10pm.

We were still trying to absorb everything that had transpired during the powerful service, while also getting set for bed, when out of nowhere, there came in the three guys with gun(s) and machete(s) into the room and one of them switched off the light, while using touch light to be flashing light on our faces carrying out the robbery.

But it was a strange kind of robbery, because after they were through, they had robbed every one inside the room, except me.

And it wasn't as though it was a mistake or that they had forgotten to do so or were in a hurry, it seemed deliberate, because after asking everyone of us to lie down, they had stood us up one by one to rob us, from the first person to the fifth person.

But when it got to my turn, being the sixth and final person, after the guy came to me, and flashed the touch on my face, since it was dark, instead of telling me to stand up and go to show him my things as he had done to the other five persons before me, he just stood up and started walking sheepishly back to where his guys were to my amazement. It was as though he had seen something strange or an angel.

Moreover while yet lying down, i overheard him being asked by one of his guys, who I suppose was their leader, "what of that guy"? His response though was not loud, so I couldn't hear what he said was his reason for doing that, but it seemed to suffice to his fellow guys, as it wasn't long afterwards they left the room.

Probably even more puzzling, was the fact that my black traveling bag, was just about the first thing anyone else would spot in the place the robbers had taken most of the things from, such as, cash, a mobile phone, a perfume jar, a pair of shoes etc., which was the wardrobe.

And inside the side pocket of that bag which was the foremost and most exposed part of that bag, there was some considerable amount of cash. Therefore had they just stumbled on it and decided to open it just one of the times they went there with one of the other five persons to show them their stuff, they would have also robbed me of some cash, because that was the closest money or thing in the wardrobe for them to have made away with.

But for some reason they left all the cash intact and no single thing in my bag was missing, while the other things more difficult to access in that wardrobe were being made away with, apart from my other things without my bag there which they also didn't touch.

So this was not just about me not being stood up by them, because they could have also easily robbed me even without needing me to do that.

As I said earlier, four of us there of the six were all choir members of the same church, and we had just returned from a church service together. And while three of us were guests who came from other parts of the country for the annual church program held within the campus premises, the other one was a student of that school who happened to be our host.

But despite that, when the robbery took place, I was the only one of the four who was separated and treated differently from the rest by the armed robbers.

It was really shocking to say the least, but it wasn't completely surprising to me because it was obvious to me why that was.

Despite that we were all Christians, and some active church members, as those my fellow choir members, i was the only one among them that was really saved and truly of God among them, so that was what was separated me from the rest when it mattered.

God bless.
wonderful testimony!.....but I strongly disagree with you on your last paragraph! Oftentimes, bad times happen to Christians, not because they aren't saved, or serving God, but because they WON'T WATCH AND PRAY! God isn't ALWAYS responsible for getting us out of trouble...it's our responsibility to 'get ourselves' out trouble long before it happens!...and this applies to every Christian!

*I find this your above statement hypocritical.

Grace and mercy found you. That was the case. It wasn't because you're too righteous.


*Something similar to your case happened to me while in school. I gave all the glory to God and didn't attribute my exemption from being robbed to my 'righteousness'

You can find it hypocritical but that's your opinion. The bible tells us that the spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that we are Gods sons and thus are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ! If the spirit has borne witness with his spirit and tells him he is a true son of God, working what is acceptable to God, who are you to tell him otherwise or call him a hypocrite? Face your own walk with God and pray for an outpouring of the holy spirit and stop judging others!

The reason you're saying this nonsense is because you're in Nigeria. If you were in a saner clime you would have seen how foolish you sound. A cultist that God speaks to... What's more.. the cultist knew it was God speaking to him and he even obeyed the voice of God. Smh

How about living in a sane region like Canada where no such bullshit like you just described will happen to you? Furthermore, your story will seem to indicate that the others who got robbed were somehow not worthy of your God’s intervention. People will survive car accidents where others perished and will be attributing it to God saved me…like the others who died could not be saved by the same God? My friend time and chance happens to everyone and you were only fortunate not to be robbed on that night.

How was cultists in possession of your property when they never took anything from you?..... either from your bag or when you were stood up? You assume they were cultists. They asked who is the guy? You assume they were asking for the "leader". How about the guy we must not rob? They were briefed before the robbery ..... do not rob my guy .... his bag is a black one ... leave it alone. What they were not certain about is who you are.... and that lead to the question is he the guy? The person who whispered the answer is the person who set up the robbery and told them not to rob you. He whispered so you can't identify his voice. The robbery was set up by someone that was rolling with you.

2 for 5naira Christians will be offended for sure. I am also a 2 for 5naira Christian but I am not offended (I can't even remember when last I went to church and people are almost mistaking me for an atheist due to the way I speak and act), because I know what genuine christainity meant for sure, believe it or not, it was what saved that guy.

Christainity these days is a complete joke, they are so many on my streets deceiving themselves in the name of going to church but we know ourselves very well, that is what many are on this forum. The church is a fashion parade, studio and a music concert to them thinking it is what makes one a christain, when you approach them they start shouting grace and do not judge. I have stop taking them seriously. I don't even answer their church invitation because I can't even sense let alone see Christ in them.

They will come to me saying Solo, why are you not going to church that you must always endeavour to be in church especially on Sundays, but only if they know how I view them they will stop making attempt to blackmail me to church.

I know a true christain when I see one. If you are a true spirit filled christain continue being true, the Lord always guide his own, abnormallies seldom come to the people of God except for a reason which will also be know later on.

Dont bother ask why I am not saved, that is a story for another. Don't also dare come to attack me on what I wrote because I be werey myself and you will surely confirm it.

Personally, I even doubt if true christains are up to 500 in Nigeria.

As for whether God is a seggreagtor or bias or partial? Yes God is all you mention if what you meant by bias is God protecting his own; and if you are enjoying the grace of God without getting saved just know God is giving you a long rope for you to get saved. I think I am also enjoying such long rope.

Forget atheist, they are the most deluded and the most lacking I have seen, I will rather become a suicide bomber than a dumb atheist with their self righteousness and the delusion of knowledge they parade (they continually abuse the word free thinking). I engaged them alot on Facebook and few on this forum so I know what I am talking of. When they call you deluded just know they are the ones deluded. Many of them actually became atheist out of frustration and that frustration never goes away. When you say someone is myopic (as what they first attack you with), just mention the atheist. Very anyhow set of people.

We also have the atheistic-christains... They are many nowadays, but that is a topic for another day. cool cool cool cool cool
