Abolaji Ekundayo, a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile – Ife, Osun State has taken to her facebook page to share energy draining experience she encountered when she was sixteen.
Abolaji said when she was sixteen, a vision came that she was going to die before or on her seventeenth birthday.
Abolaji who is celebrating her 30th birthday today with beautiful mouthwatering pictures recently took to Facebook to commence #102DaysGratitudeChallenge to appreciate God for His blessings, faithfulness and grace.
She said, “When I was sixteen, a ‘vision’ came that I was going to die before or on my seventeenth birthday.”
“Fear held me tightly on my oesophagus and as a young teenager, my world came crashing down like a heavy glass dropped from a high hill.”
“Despite my grandmother’s prayers and assurance that I would not die, I couldn’t take my mind off that ‘vision’. It was a timely one, it came at the time that darkness was my compass of life.”
“The man’s words kept ringing in my head and I began to see vivid images of my own death and burial.”
“It was a miserable period of my life and prior to then, life had tossed me from frying pan to fire and back to frying pan before finally submerging me into the grossest darkness.”
“I was just a child, barely in my teens when I was forced to grow up.”
“I saw hell, I cried, I groaned and I writhed in inexplicable agony and the world never cared to dry my tears or even give me a carresing pat on my back.”
“I was helpless, almost inexistent and the only visible thing about me then was that I was doing well in school. I was very bright with a sharp mind despite being plunged in darkness.”
“The day I was to clock seventeen, I was prepared for death. Fear had departed from my eyes and I could not even argue that I didn’t deserve this imminent death.”
“To me, that death was a rescue. It was a way out. Finally, I would escape to a more uncertain place which could be worse. The most important thing was to just escape first.”
“So, that night, Sept. 7, I sat until midnight and waited for the eighth day of the month to finally die.”
“How soothing it would be for one to die the same day they were born. I sat there. Fixated. Conscious. Ready. Impatient. I thought the agent of death was taking too long.”
“I expected to see an angry monstrous creature with roaring fire on its spiking horns hold a heavy metallic rod and hit me really hard. I waited. But, the agent of death never showed up.”
Death never showed up.
Guess who did?
Jesus!
Jesus has always come through for me.
“He has always immersed me into His covenant, even when I didn’t know.”
“God’s love has always overshadowed me before my consciousness came alive to receive it, she added.
“I didn’t even meet with Jesus properly until I gained admission into OAU, she concluded.
