There are moments in life when silence feels comfortable when you tell yourself, “Let me just thank God quietly and move on.”
But, I realized that keeping quiet about God’s goodness is the same as commonizing His blessings. And if there is one thing I will never do, it is to make light of the mercy and protection of God over me.
So without holding back, I declare boldly:
God is faithful. God is true. And God is actively watching over me and my family.
When God Says It, He Means It
Scripture says:
“You will tread upon snakes and scorpions…”
“I have given you authority over every creeping thing…”
These are not poetic lines.
They are promises... real, active, operational promises and this testimony proves it.
For one year and six months of living in Enugu, we have had over 20 scorpion encounters. Some small, some big, But last night’s own? This one shook me to my core.
The Night That Still Doesn’t Make Sense
Something happened last night that still has me asking questions like a detective with no clues.
I was sitting on my work chair in the room, facing my laptop but scrolling on my phone instead. The room was dim. Then suddenly… something fell from above and landed right on my laptop.
At first, I thought it was a cockroach ...you know how cockroaches behave like flying landlords. But from the shadow, something looked different… off… strange.
I lifted my phone flashlight.
And behold a big scorpion sitting comfortably on my bed, on my laptop, as though it was summoned.
From where?
How did it fall?
Do scorpions fly?
Do they jump from the sky?
Is this acrobatics or spiritual gymnastics?
Nothing made sense.
But God’s protection made sense.
God’s timing made sense.
God’s covering made sense.
The What-Ifs That God Cancelled
Immediately, the “what ifs” began to run like a movie in my mind:
What if this happened while we were asleep?
What if I didn’t look up at that exact second?
What if the dim light blinded me from seeing anything?
What if i was not sitted there?
But God cancelled every “what if.”
He intercepted danger before it became disaster.
This is not luck.
This is not coincidence.
This is God .... my Shikena Glory, the final say over my life.
20 Scorpions, 18 Months, Unlimited Mercy
Between October and now, we’ve killed five scorpions and in the last year and half, over twenty at different corners, different days, different stories but the same testimony:
God kept us.
The earliest first two encounters stung my daughter and as a mother, that is a pain that pierces deeper than words. I prayed to God and said, “Abba, never again.”
And He kept the deal.
He honoured His word.
He fenced us in with His fire.
Since then:
No more stings.
No more injuries.
Only testimonies.
Under His Wings, We Are Untouchable
We stand on the Word.
We stand on the promise.
We stand on the God who never sleeps.
What can mere crawling creatures do to us?
What can their venom accomplish?
What power do they hold over the children of the Living God?
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
And this… this is my testimony.
God Really Protects His Own
If you ever doubted God’s covering, let my life be proof.
If you ever wondered whether God still protects, preserves, shields, and defends… my story says YES.
God didn’t just protect us, He showed up, He stepped in, and He took charge.
He remains our Shikena Glory..... the final, absolute, unquestionable glory of our lives.
And from this day, I will never keep His goodness silent again.
