Welcome Back!

Hello, and welcome back to my space! Thank you for being here, and also for reading and engaging with my content.

In this post, I will be sharing some definite experiences that can only be described as miracles in my life.

How Do You Define A Miracle?

There are several definitions of the word "Miracle", but I think the one I share below is very straightforward.

A miracle is an event that is inexplicable by natural or scientific laws[2] and accordingly gets attributed to some supernatural or praeternatural cause.

Miracles Without Number!

There are many things that others may take for granted but, if you ask me I will tell you that they are miracles.

• When I go to bed at night or any time of the day for that matter, and I know that it was not my power that made me wake up, then it can only be a miracle.
• Any time I go out and come back safely, seeing the unfortunate incidents that befall many travellers and road users on the way, that is a big miracle.
• Being able to have enough to take care of myself and my family in this "Balablu Bulaba" economy is a complete miracle.

Those points I listed above may sound too generalised, right? Don't worry, here are some specific miracles I have had in my life.

🔸️ The year was 1997. I was in my 300 level in Ahmadu Bello University, living off-campus in a "Ba shiga" house. I remember going to bed that night, with my door open, but the door net bolted, so that breeze could enter.

Lying down with my head opposite the door, I just noticed a huge personality enter my room through the locked door net. Immediately I asked, "who are you?", no other word came out from my lips, and I knew I was dealing with something evil and sinister.

It just occurred to me to raise my hand and use my forefinger to spell J. E. S. U. S in the air. Immediately, that personality turned and went out through the still locked net. Then, I got up and locked my door and went back to sleep. I only remembered what happened several hours later.

🔸️ November 1998, I had resumed for my final year a few weeks earlier. I was on my way to my guardian's house and needed to take a motorbike. I had waited for a long time without getting a motorbike, and just as I was contemplating going back to the hostel, I got one.

A few minutes later, the rider was trying to dodge a bicycle that just appeared out of nowhere and we found ourselves fallen on the road.

Without thinking twice, I got up and ran to the side of the road, just in time to escape being crushed by an oncoming vehicle on high speed. I only sustained some bruises from the fall.

🔸️ October 2012, my youngest child was just about 5 months old, and I found myself down with severe back ache. My husband had travelled, and I was left alone with the kids. I was given some medication by the doctor I went to consult.

Sometime in the night, I managed to get up from the bed before I realised that I needed to pick up the torch as there was no light, and I had to go check the girls in their room.

Not knowing what to do, I prayed that an angel should come to my aid. The next thing I knew was that my 5 months old son woke up. I just jokingly asked him if he could pick up the torch for me, that the pain I felt was too much (I had placed him on my bed to sleep beside me).

To my amazement, he began to rearrange himself on the bed until he managed to make the torch roll towards me. I picked it up, and my son smiled, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

🔸️ Recently (March this year), I needed a financial miracle to solve a serious problem I was facing. I went to my banking app and saw that someone paid some money into my account.

The transaction date showed 25th March, but that day was 24th March. I checked my calendar to confirm the date. Why on earth should I get a future deposit manifest a day earlier? Banks definitely would not make that kind of mistake, so I can only conclude that it was a miracle.

Interestingly, much as I tried, I couldn't get in touch with the person that sent the money to me until the 26th, ie two days later. Both of us still don't understand how it happened. All I know is that it was a double miracle for me - a money miracle and a time miracle.

These are just a few of several miraculous encounters I have had in my life, and I have recounted them here as well as I can, and they are my true life stories.
