VOICE OF AN ANGEL IN THE DARK

It was a good morning, in Litawa, people of the village came to greet us, some they asked who were getting mad in this village, we heared a loud singing voice last night, I knew they talked about me. I was truly powerless, I could not respond to anyone, tears of agony were flowing down my cheek. The invisible foe celebrated, this was a time I filled crushed in my life, a time of bitter disappointment and crushing loss.

In this present evil world we must not be dismayed if disasters of various kinds occur from time to time. when the gathering storm breaks, no one is able to be courageous when these things happen. Night came the angel of God who were with me from Lusaka to Litawa appeared and woke me up, he picked me with one hand and made me to stand in the farmland of my parents, opposite was a graveyard of the village , he told me to look straight at the graveyard, I saw a woman praying for my death, the witch bowed down before the image, she was not alone but they were many. I cried " Lord save me" I swooned with panic and foreboding. The angel who were with me said,"have a good courage" then he took me back to bed. I remembered the word of God to Isaiah the prophet, " fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not be dismayed; for I am thy God : I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold the with the right hand of my righteousness." Isaiah 41:10-14

When I left Lusaka my first best friend said "courage brother" God truly is like that He talked courage to me during the days of darkness, trials are heavy, storm clouds lower, or difficult and dangerous task needs to be done. I left the beautiful city of Lusaka and became a sickly being, I saw nothing for the future but endless suffering in the wilderness of groaning. The silence of days, weeks and months were broken by the voice of that angel sent by God. Truly someone was there with me in that vast loneliness! Someone who knew my name; Someone who wanted to talk with me. "Enock! Enock! called the voice of an angel. It was the voice of God through the angel, speaking in the dark night, 😴" I will be with you until the end" That was the time of prayer for me.

it is a wonderful comfort to know that the same Father God who sits upon a throne high and lifted up cares so much about what His creatures are doing on this earth that He whisper courage in our ears when we need it! God is not an absentee landlord who has forgotten us.
