I thank God for His goodness to me. I work in a secondary school as the Students’ Affairs Officer in a boarding school. On a certain Thursday, my senior students were rounding up an Economics examination and being teenagers. It was going to be the last time of seeing some of their classmates so they were unusually creative. I finished late and got home after 11 p.m., I was so tired but still decided to heat my food on the gas cooker. While I waited, I read a novel and eventually fell asleep.
I heard an urgent tap and woke up but I could not get up physically until somehow I managed to recover myself and looked around the room engulfed in smoke. I realized that I could not breathe and remembered my food on the cooker. It was past 1:30 a.m. when I ran to the kitchen and turned off the gas. I aired the room and went outside so that I could breathe properly.
When I got back inside, I looked in the pot and found it burnt to coal and longer stuck to the pot. I am yet to throw the pot away because of my wonder at what God did for me. I thank Him for giving my life back to me. He sent an angel to wake me up because that tap I felt was hard enough to wake me up. Praise God!
