God has been faithful to me during the tests we have had since yesterday. We had two on Monday which was yesterday and one for this morning. Still expecting another in the evening and I couldn't find time to make this article but right now, let me just write something.
Let me appreciate everyone who have been supporting my articles and I am thankful for dropping by with beautiful comments. God bless you.
So, let me take you into a true life story about my Dad. I couldn't stop being proud because something like this happened to him. I wouldn't have been given birth to if he had crossed to the other side, I mean death. This story happened to him years ago and he only told me two years ago while on a deep discussion about life and that was when he chipped in this longgggggg story of himself.
He hasn't married my mom then, he was still in his youth and he only finished from a college, this I am talking about 1970s... I can never forget this story because I planned telling my children of what happened to their Grandfather.
After finishing his education, he told his Parent he doesn't want to go to school again. He went into music as his talent. My Dad can sing, play the instruments (piano and guitar especially). He decided to go into the city for greener pastures from the village. Then, there was nothing like mobile phones. If you go away from home to the city, they can only be expecting you to return and if you do not return for long, they will assume you are dead.
My Dad was in the city of Lagos and was going from one occasion to the other and they pay him. That was what he used to survive then and he said he couldn't go home because he doesn't have enough money to take home and for him not to be insulted and disgraced, he had to wait more years in the city and kept finding means to feed himself.
He had a girlfriend then who they both were into relationship. Unfortunately for both of them, they had this foul play that made the lady got pregnant. My Dad still held himself responsible and was taking care of the lady and sending some money to her. The lady eventually gave birth and when they came to give the news to my Dad. He was so happy that he was in a haste to go visit his girlfriend who had given birth to a baby boy. As he wanted to cross the road, a vehicle knocked him down and that was all he heard.
Thank God for some good Samaritans who carried him to the hospital when they saw he was still breathing. They couldn't reach his family members and he was the only one in the city without any relative. His family also didn't bother to come look for him. Where would they even go to locate him since there wasn't any means of communication.
That was how the trance or should I call it dream started for him while in a coma for days.
He saw himself in heaven and according to what he said, heaven has seven gates. He had entered the first gate and he was hearing the sound of angels singing and praising God and shouting Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah....
With that, he was so eager to keep running because he was a singer and he doesn't want to waste time to meet them so he can keep singing.
For each gate, there are some angels who stood as gatekeepers welcoming everyone who had died.
He passed through the second to the sixth gate. He was about to enter the seventh gate when an angel stopped him and said "stop there, where are you going?"
My Dad replied and said "I want to sing with them, they are shouting and dancing,, let me join them too"
The angel told him again "your time hasn't ended on earth, you still have more years to live. Now go back to the world"
That was how my Dad turned back and started going back. Immediately he passed through the first gate, he sneezed and woke up at the hospital and he was surprised how he got there.
A nurse who was an old woman was sitting beside him holding his hands and praying for him. It was the nurse who explained how he got to the hospital and how she has been praying for his life to come back since he was brought to the hospital. He said, the woman never knew him before but she had this urge to help my Dad and that was how she kept coming to him to check up on him while he was in a coma.
After he was okay and got discharged, he went home to explained all that has happened and they were shocked and thanked God he was still alive.
After the story, I asked a question
"Dad, what about your girlfriend and her son?" He said he didn't hear from them since then up till today.
I hope you learnt something from this story? 😁 Did you enjoyed it? What do you have to say? I will be waiting in the comment section.
Thank you for reading.

Are you open to the possibility that you have a sibling somewhere out there? That's exciting! And did you know, I also have family who has this kind of experience with angels and how they were told it's not their time yet. I'm just so happy to hear such story.
