Why That Woman Died Instantly.
I was told a story that touched my heart greatly by one of our precious sisters in church some time ago. The incident happened in the small town from where I originally wrote this book, where I also happened to be a pastor of a church.
As I was told, a group of women had boarded a pick-up truck to go sell their goods in one of their regular village markets. On the way, the vehicle suddenly lost its brakes while on a very high speed. As usual, terror and uproar immediately set in among the passengers. It was, "he...he...he...Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" etc.
But that didn't stop the vehicle from its death-bent race. In the process, one of the passengers jumped out, hoping to escape from the impending judgement the vehicle was headed. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a wrong call. She was smashed beyond repair and died on the spot.
Others, though very terrified and confused, did not follow her example. Did any one of them at that moment think that step didn't pay or was it just a
matter of sheer luck that they didn’t consider jumping out like the other woman did? Or did any of them remember that the first thing to do when you don't know what to do is to do nothing? Or was it just a coincidence that more of them didn't express their fear by joining that poor woman to jump out of the moving vehicle?
As I was told, the vehicle somehow miraculously stopped from the rough, death race. And the other passengers came out with very minor injuries. But they had lost one soul, the precious woman who jumped out.
Her colleagues in the small pick-up truck were said to sustain minor wounds. They did not have to get admitted to the hospital to get those wounds healed. But the other woman had died.
Only she.......why?
Most times, it’s not fair to use matters that concern the loss of life for illustration in teachings because no matter what you try to say, the lost life cannot come back. But then, like you, I’ve asked a lot of questions in events like that.
Why was this woman the only person who died in that accident? Was it her destiny or an act of God?
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN FACED WITH DANGER?
Many of us react differently during times of danger. And rightly so, we are not to blame ourselves for what we do at such times. However, there are a few tips that might help us in advance to handle danger moments:
1. The best thing to do when you don’t know what to do is to do nothing.
2. We can drastically reduce the potency of a dangerous situation we find ourselves with how we handle ourselves at such times.
3. Whatever we do out of fear doesn’t usually have a good ending. 4. Even when you are obviously scared to the teeth, initially pretending like you’re okay will give you some edge in deciding the best way to respond to what is before you.
I agree that when we find ourselves in danger moments, it’s usually difficult to calculate our responses properly. But statistics have shown that more damage is caused by our reactions to danger than the danger itself.
The beloved woman in our story was not destined to die, neither was it God who killed her. I believe (note: this is my conviction) she died because she acted FEAR.
I believe that Satan’s greatest weapons are FEAR, WORRY AND DEPRESSION. I believe the devil has succeeded in causing a lot of havoc in homes and societies because of fear and worry.
When we learn to discover our fears early and stop them with violent prayers, we’ll walk in immeasurable victory and breakthrough in our lives.
