You’ve had a terrible accident and you lost your wife, what was your experience and lessons?
I have learnt a lot of lessons but with God all things are possible. Someone can not be with you for ever. I forgave all the people that wronged me. I now know more about people, how to deal with them, many love you but they are not close to you, many enemies are close to you,nothing last forever. I never stopped appreciating God even before my accident, who knows maybe he deliberately spared my life for today. I have no other God but him and whatever happened to anyone God will still be God. We heard about lots of people dating lost their lives including their family. One man prayed and fasted for 7days after the fasting on the 7 days, he crossed to get water to break and a car knocked him down and that was the end, lot of faithful Pastors ,Imam and rich people died and life still continue.
