LIFE IMPRISONMENT 27
WRITTEN BY: GRACE OLAYEMI
Abraham kept to his word and he left the case into the hands of God. He didn’t do anything unless he was led of God. He prayed and meditated on the word and since he didn’t have any case at hand, he had enough time to do that.
He spent most of his afternoons studying the bible and in the space of a week he had known many things he didn’t know before. He would exclaim when the truth of a verse or chapter of the bible he was reading dawned on him. He had been reading the bible for many years but that one week made him know that he knew little about God and his ways and that there were a lot of things left for him to learn.
“If every Christian can take out at least one hour each day to study the bible intentionally. We would have less successful false preachers in the society.
“There is life in the word of God.”
“I feel so alive after a refreshing time eating and digesting the word of God.”
He continued to tweet different things to express his joy of finding out more about God. Various comments however rolled in;
“Lmao, this guy is a complete j**k for associating himself with God.”
“Even the devil sef is claiming to be eating God’s word.”
“Eating and digesting the word indeed.”
“It is God that will punish this monster.”
“Na that word kill you there”
“Why are you attacking him nau? Who is he anyway? I don’t understand why there are a lot of negative comments to his harmless tweets.”
“He is the bastard that is representing Danger in court.”
“He is giving suggestions on how to reduce false preachers. Abeg, who knows how to eradicate useless lawyers like him?”
He picked up his phone and was about to send back a reply when one of the scriptures he had studied dropped in his mind; another dropped and another and it continued like that until he broke down in prayers.
When David said ‘thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee’; he then understood what he meant. If not for the fact that he had been studying the word, he would have sent derogatory replies to the people’s comments on his posts and that would have brought him to the same level with them.
“The word of God makes the difference. There is beauty in knowing the word for yourself. You will not only save yourself from error but also from sinning against God.”
He tweeted and more comments rolled in but that time he was too high in the spirit to care.
He felt strongly in his spirit to pray that God should reveal secrets about Danger that no one knew and that could serve as a key to softening his heart. He spent the whole night praying that single prayer point.
