Miracle: God saved us from fire 🔥 Hey People! How are you all? Your Monday went well I guess. My Monday was spent at work and I thank God for the day.

I got back yesterday from work around 9:30pm and I decided to take a little rest before taking my bathe and that was when my crush called, we were talking when I heard a loud bang on my door. I Opened to check who was that and I found out that it was a woman(a next compound neighbor). She shouted that I should quickly come and check because our building was on fire. I had to hung the call and rushed outside leaving my door open. *My compound comprises of different rooms with rented shops at the front side. I occupy one of the rooms which I'm hardly seen at home because I leave for work by 7:00am and come back 9:30pm everyday. Even my brother that's staying with me has travelled home for Christmas break. The other neighbors are not stable too because they work and the occupants of the rented shops at the front side don't reside there, they only do their business during day time and close by 6pm. So as it stands, People are hardly seen around unless at late hours of the night, say 10:00pm and above.* When I rushed out, I saw smokes pumping out from the top of the roof, I wondered how come I didn't notice or smelled the smoke because I was inside...no need to reason much, I had to run quickly to the where the control switch was, I met all the wires burning, smoke was gushing out from the place like a burning bush. Thank God I know some electrical ethics, so I searched for a dry wood and luckily I was with my slippers (rubber footwear) and I bravely used the dry wood to pulled the switch off from the contact and the light went off. I ran out from there with heavy cough because of heavy smoke. That was when one of the neighbors came and joined me and the checked other places if there other rooms were burning. But we thank God, the rooms we checked were okay but the rented shops were lucked and I have a key to one them(my boss's wife shop). I opened there to check but thank God nothing was found burning there too. Remaining one shop which we called the man to drive down to open his shop. Meanwhile, all those while we were checking, the smoke was still oozing out from the zinc(roof) and we assumed that things were still burning inside. But just few minutes, the smoke started to go down. After a little check, we saw that the burning came from the **change over spot** and the fire/smoke diffused from there. **That was a big miracle!** It's All God! We thanked God because He it weren't for God, it would have been another story. If it weren't for God the house would have razed down with sleeping occupants (I was inside my room and didn't noticed a smoke or smell of a burning substance). It's just God. He master planned all things that made it possible for us to survive the incident. **If No one was around that night!** God made it possible to avail some of us that night, because some nights some of us don't sleep in the compound, some would go and sleep in their friend's place while my case also, sometimes I sleep at work place if work held me. It's God that brought us home that. **what if it was midnight!** I just imagined it, what if it was around 2:00am while everyone of us were deep in the Dreamland( sleeping), only GOD knows what would have happened. God made it possible for the scene to occur during the busy hour of the night. **What if my neighbor didn't noticed it earlier?** Just like I explained, I was on call and didn't know what was happening, it's the woman from another compound than came to banged on my door to inform me of the burning roof, it was God that placed her in a position to be able to notice it because as far as it seemed that night, I wouldn't have noticed anything untill maybe...God forbid! **Conclusion** Sometimes things happen for God to show us that He still watches over us, He never sleep nor slumber. We owe Him thanks in every condition we find ourselves, even when we loss anything, He is the reason we didn't loose everything. He has kept us from the beginning of this year to this last days of the year, He has fought and won battles on our behalf. God is just too good! **Thanks for reading** **4days to Christmas 🎅💞 🎄🎄🎅**
