“Make God remember person na.” A friend and brother quipped a few days ago. Before the conversation could proceed, another younger colleague joined us so we left the matter.
I won’t be quoting scripture, just practical examples from my own life that God remembers us. However, the remembering could vary, but the Almighty does. Some will call it coincidence, fate or whatever, but it is what it is?
Not all answers are by fasting and prayers, just the silent benediction in your heart and your earnest expectation.
Now these:
In July, I needed (who is not always in need of money) a little below a million naira to add up to what I had for a purchase. My head was aching from how do I get the sum ASAP? From the blues, a message dropped on my WhatsApp.
“We have had the first meeting, the second is coming up tomorrow and you have reservations at the Hilton for xxx days.”
I replied this big bros that it might be a mistake oh! Unlike some people who will flare up and perhaps end at that, he said it wasn’t a mistake and ended by saying “see you later.” Meeting holds. Just that xxx days I got the whole sum.
A subsequent meeting holds and it is even better. I never fit thank Big Bros, but God sha knows I am grateful.
God remembers at His time!
In 2021, a friend whom we were in contact on and off sent me an eerie messenger message confessing how she had struggled with the “message for days.”
It was that I will be involved in an accident. The more she delayed, the greater the anguish she faced and with a stark warning that time was running out.
She summons courage and informs me. The next day, I have an accident on Goodluck Jonathan Way. Perhaps, it could have been fatal given the whole saga that played out after I managed to alight the damaged car.
God remembers in His time!
In late June this year, my friend, the demure MM, calls in a breathless tone as she is wont to. “Emma, please we need to meet it is urgent. 9am, 10am? Please not passed 10am. Biko, even starting coming. You can eat breakfast at my place. Oh, you don’t eat.”
Well, it was God remembering. After the forth and back and when the project was completed, Veror who accompanied me to the Villa for the event said, “she could have eaten you in delight.”
Yes, the hugs were many and effusive. She had delivered and was ecstatic and she knew who had played a huge part in it.
I could point to many of such instances. Even when a beautiful dream turns to horror, when the laughter seems to have turned to a cackle, God is remembering you and God will keep being at it.
I close with Haruki Murakami in the book, Kafka on the Shore.
Murakami writes, “And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
