My Miracle happened! Yes it happened. The day started like every other day in prison, I had woken everyone up with my loud voice of praise.
We did our devotion. By that time I had spent 35 years in Jail. I was 66 years of age We had just gotten a new president elected into power just a week earlier.
We were told the president was coming to our Prison to visit us. We had to sweep, clean, cut the grasses and looked neat. After the President had a general meeting with us all, encouraging us, he specifically asked to see me.
The moment I entered the Chief Warder’s office, I was surprised to see the President rise up to his feet to greet me. I was humbled, so I bent to greet him too…
“Ma, it’s a great privilege meeting you after so many years, I am one of the products of your ministry, I gave my life to Christ under your song ministration, about 40 years ago, when I was just 8 years old. As an orphan, your music were instructions that shaped my life, making me avoid evil at a young age. Your song was like a motherly voice to me. I was there the day you received your jail sentence, I was the young boy who rushed to hug you as you were taken to the van…. That day I heard someone say by my side that the only way you could ever be free was if you received a presidential pardon…I made up my mind that day I was going to be President someday, in other to have you released. That dream has come to pass… I have become the president of our country. For this reason ma, I came here personally to give you a presidential Pardon to have you released from Jail…”
It felt like it was a dream, and I needed someone to wake me up… the President was weeping as he hugged me so tight just like he did 35 years ago as a little boy…
Dreams if pursued do come to pass…
At 66 years of age, I got out of prison. Mercy got me out of Prison, Grace brought me out of prison, and guess what the Bible verse that states that “Eyes have not seen , nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath Prepared for them that Love Him” in 1 Corinthians 2:9 was exactly how my life turned out…
The Lord started a new chapter out of my life after my years in prison…
The Lord started a new chapter out of my life after my years in prison…
One of the great things God did for me was that I thought Mercy was going
to be my only child, but getting out of Prison, God gave Daniel and I a set of twin boys at the age of 68. My story got better and full of Grace, just like my name from that time.
I was able to reach more lives, as I started travelling around the globe, sharing my story of how one night in room 401 almost ruined my life…
This new Chapter of my life is also a story-filled phase of my life…
Favour, Mercy and GRACE found me.
I’d want to believe you learnt alot from this short story. God is indeed faithful and ever ready to give us a second chance to return back to him. No matter how bad you think your case is, Jesus can restore you. Thanks to Opeyemi Akintunde for using this piece to touch as many souls as possible.
