The urge to go home isn't present this time, Bona have had enough of an abusive home, each day no work pay, not enough to feed him, mum has grown tired of it all, she grumbles and complain about him. His full name was actually Bonaventure, the people of the world has removed the venture out of it. He now look like a useless Bona.

Bona became depressed with time, he just wouldn't concentrate at work, the economy of the country can't help him too. But he returns home this time to end it all.

Deep in the darkness of the night, Bona made a rope to the ceiling, he knew that's a horrible sin again his creator for the Bible says

Bona knew this and the consequences been brought up from a godly home, he just can't carry on anymore, and his plight is synonymous with many youths, frustration is there primary abode.

No electricity, he already knew his way to the ceiling, he has lived in the room for more than twenty years, quietly hoisting the cord to the fixed ceiling fan, like a flash the light came on and a music began to plan from the room of the neighborh next door. He has been known to always leave his tape on whenever he's going out, sometime disturbing the street 'cos sounds travels faster in the night. He always claims to forget.
But the song wasn't just any song, it was the stereo play by Bola Aare of a Christ Apostolic Church Hymn Book and the exact part that precisely came out of the tape at that time was verse five of the song. As Bona heard this he paused, first at the way the stereo disrupt his solemn horrible departure from this world and the words coming out.

Is this a call to surrender his life to Christ and come in through the blood of the lamb? He has joined so many working team in Church all to no avail. Nothing to show for it, though he has heard of a life lived for Christ and Christ alone, a life of communion with God, giving ones life to Christ and only Him, he has always threw that notion away, been seeing so many convert (SU) called Christ's cross carrying Christian suffers, he begins to wonder, so what's the difference. He never knew the difference is the assurance of Eternal Home: Heaven. He forgot the word of Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:28.

But the songs keeps playing anyway, Bona troubled spirit is made up for the broad way to hell. Just for one last time at the horrible reality of his end he looked on the floor to find the winds blowing in through the window blinds and hit his Bible by the edge on the table where it gently sit, dusty, the wind by chance of incident or divine opened the pages of the Bible to John 14:6

Bona cried in a loud voice, he knew he hasn't been on the way, he knew he has no life in Christ, that is why his life is in crisis.He knew he is not following the truth,he knew if he ever chicken out this way, eternal damnation awaits him. That is why everything looks like a lie. He cried for just coming to know Christ at this age. He cried 'cos he has lost all. He cried because he was just about to hit the afterlife in hell.

Wiping off his tears he knelt down there with a sorrowful heart and confess his sins to Christ. Bona made up his mind to evangelize the gospel as far as the ears could hear and the eyes can see.

Don't forget what the hymn said, there is still room in heaven for all sinners to come in.

Sort:  

Amen. God bless you for sharing. There's hope for every sinner. There's is space in heaven
