THINGS CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE


By Ophara Ohiyana in Malawi.

There are certain things that God does and the human mind just can’t comprehend. Even the person to whom the incident happens has problems accepting it as a reality. When Brother Stanley and I, for example, were coming from Ntcheu and a tyre went flat after hitting a pothole and when we stopped to change the tyre we found out that no tyre was flat it was too miraculous for us to accept it. We checked all around but nothing was wrong with the car. We then drove all the way to Blantyre. We never mentioned it to anybody thinking they wouldn’t believe it.

However, when somebody gathers the courage to testify of God’s wonders whether people believe it or not, the rest gather up courage too to testify of God’s goodness and His incredible ways of doing things.

As Pastor Dixon Kandoje and Brother Overton Makuta were driving in separate cars back to Blantyre after the Mbavi Meetings one of the pastor’s car’s tyres went flat around Ntcheu. It was quite dark and Brother Makuta also stopped his car to help his pastor. As he was busy with the tyre his driving licence slipped from his chest pocket on to the ground unnoticed. The following day, back in Blantyre, Brother Makuta wanted to drive to town. He searched for his licence and it was nowhere to be seen. He searched all the likely places but without success. He then remembered about the Ntcheu incident and feared he might have dropped it there. His fears were confirmed when his wife told him she had seen something falling from his pocket at Ntcheu.

He looked at his wife with his hands akimbo. Then how do I get it, he muttered to himself. He thought about queuing at the Road Traffic Commission’s offices for another licence and didn’t get amused with that thought. Then suddenly he spoke out  “That licence will be delivered to me!”  

“But how?” querried his wife.

“I don’t know,” he answered

His wife had all the reason to get worried for her ATM card was in the same pouch as the driving licence.

Without a licence Brother Makuta started off for town. Drama started unfolding barely a few minutes later. His wife couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Brother Makuta sees visions but we have never heard of his wife seeing visions too. But all that was different on this day. She heard some sound and when she lifted her eyes to see, lo and behold, something that looked like a piece of paper was falling from nowhere onto the floor right before her eyes. She looked at it and for sure it was her husband’s driving licence. She got too frightened to pick it up. For some minutes she stood there motionless before picking it up and verifying it was indeed the licence that had supposedly been lost somewhere in Ntcheu, about 150km away.

Hearing such a heart-moving testimony at Masuku in Mangochi Brother Mkango of Lilongwe couldn’t help but give his own. He initially thought what had happened to him would be too hard for people to accept but he pushed those thoughts away for something even greater and more miraculous had just been testified about.

Pastor Wilton Mkandawire of Lilongwe church called Brother Mkango asking him to remember him in prayers for the trip he was about to make the following day. Instead Brother Mkango , in addition to the prayer, offered to go with him on this trip. He had a shop on the way to their destination so he wanted to take this opportunity to visit it. On the day of the visit Brother Mkango left his home via the city centre where he bought some items for the shop he was about to visit that morning. He planned to meet the pastor at his shop which was about 35km from his Area 23 residence. When he arrived at his shop he wanted to check what time it was only to discover that he had left his wrist watch at home. He was fond of his wrist watch and the feeling that he had left it home bothered him so much that he spoke out “Lord I need my wrist watch” without knowing it. After a while he forgot about the whole issue. However, as someone who was used to checking time now and again he unconsciously checked his wrist and was shocked to find his watch there.

Wow, what a mighty God we serve! All Things Are Possible. Only Believe.

God specializes in things thought impossible!
