Heart Breaking - I Wept by christaddicted: 8:39am On Apr 13, 2015 |
A preacher was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car. It was raining and dark and because of the intensity of the rain he could hardly see past his headlights. On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were signs posted all along the bridge that said "DO NOT PICK HITCH-HIKERS." There was an institute for the criminally insane near the base of the bridge and sometimes people would escape from it and try to hitch a ride. On this particular night, as he turned his car on to the bridge, he had to drive exceptionally slow because he could hardly see the road. Somewhere near the top of the bridge a man suddenly appeared in the headlights. He was soaked, standing in the middle of the road with his shirt off frantically waving it over his head and screaming. This preacher's wife began to say, "Oh please don't stop, try to drive around him!" But the man was unavoidable and there was nowhere for the car to go to miss him. So he had to stop the car and as soon as he did, the man slapped his hand down on the hood of the car and was screaming at the top of his lungs. The preacher looked over at his wife and said to lock the door after him and not to unlock it until he returned. His family was now crying and pleading with him not to get out of the car. He opened the door and stepped outside...He was immediately soaked from the rain. As he approached the front of the car to grab the man, all of a sudden he could make out what the man was screaming, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS LOAD OF KIDS JUST WENT OVER!" As these words registered in the pastor's mind, he looked back in the car at his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm around the man and wept in gratitude. The preacher stood there with the man for the next half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his jacket above his head screaming."THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" For a lost and a dying world, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" For a people heading to a Christless Eternity,"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" where are the men and the women who will stand in the middle of the road and forbid people to perish ? HELL HAS OPENED ITS MOUTH WIDE AND MANY ARE SPEEDING INTO IT Where are those who will stand in the gap, on the streets, the highways and the byways to forbid multitudes with the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST from going to such a horrible place ?

Oh! So touching! Let me share my own ststory.A true life story, and not some cartoon make believe. So this man gave the bus conductor 50 naira instead of 80 naira during the recent fuel hike in lagos. The conductor was angry and jumped down from the bus in an attempt to drag the man but the man managed to cross over to the other side of the road.Refusing to concede to defeat me chased this man but unfortunately a vehicle on speed knocked him down. Now here is the mystery that still lingers on. sympathisers after 30 mins watched the lifeless body of the bus conductor.The driver of the bus, not knowing what to do decides to call the family of the supposed dead guy. The family arrived, the mother of the guy wailing as she got to see her son.All of a sudden, there was commotion, the conductor stood up shouting, according to my mom, he was screaming "ffire! Fire! Fire dey my body! Make una for forgive me! Make una forgive me, I no go do am again! Na so I dey deceive passengers, some go give me money, I no go give them change. Abeg, abeg abeg, fire dey burn me for my body.... ".The people around had to pin in down to stable him.Only that guy fit talk wetin happen to am in the land of the unknown for almost an hour he lay lifeless on the ground. 1 Like 1 Share |
