saving his life during the four years and four months he served in

the Lord for his life as he returns home to his wife and children. His
words;
“When I first entered Maiduguri in d early month
of 2014, after my first 3 months, I asked myself if I can ever make it
back home alive? But when I remembered the thought he had for me where
thought of good and not of evil, I said to myself ,I know that I can
make it ,no matter what may come my way my life is in his hands, and one
day I asked myself when was I going to set me free from this blood
socking land of maiduguri ,
God took me to the book of habakku 2
vs 1_3 and truly that appointed has come and he has finally kept to his
promises after four years , four month (4yrs 4mnt) truly no one is like
my God ,he is my healer, he is my keeper ,my way maker,my life giver ,he
picked me from the miry clay and set my feet on the rock to stay,

swallows what swallow an elephant, you are the tiger that appears and
put the antelope on a run,who can say it when my God has not said it ?
