Holy Bible Untouched By Fire Recovered From Ashes Of Burnt Accident Car In Abuja
July 29, 2013 – Holy Bible Untouched By Fire After Car Burst Into Flames In Abuja – Bible Recovered From Ashes Of Burnt Vehicle
There was a phenomenal miracle in Abuja as a Bible was picked up untouched after a car burnt down to ashes.
Jeremiah Giwa, who arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom five months ago, was the driver of the car. He had gone to the UK for his tertiary education. Before the car burst into flames, it swerved off the road, tumbled and eventually landed in a ditch. Jeremiah Giwa survived to tell the grim story:
“My younger brother, Joshua and I were going to pick our parents and elder brother from the airport, so we had an accident on the way at the road before Galadimawa. We were coming from our home in the Games Village. The car was very fine and it hadn’t developed any fault before. That morning, it was raining and the car began to swerve off the road. I tried to bring the car back on the road but the break was not holding anymore.
“I tried ceaselessly and I later lost control of the car. The car eventually tumbled twice after moving zigzag on the road and landed in a ditch. I have been driving close to five years and I was very okay when I drove the car. When it happened, we immediately unhooked our seat-belts; I talked to my brother for a few seconds to ensure he was okay. We unhooked the belts; thank God it wasn’t jammed. We tried to open the driver’s door but the door was jammed. We tried to break the glass too, it refused to break. We managed to spot one of the windows at the back; we broke it and climbed out through it, under one of the chairs. We went far away from the car to ensure our safety because the car was already in flames.
“The two of us were the only occupants of the car and my brother was sitting beside me in front. We were so shocked that we both came out unscathed. We watched the car go up in flames while other drivers initially drove past us. It was about a few minutes before 6am; so it was still a bit dark. By the time people began to stop, everything had burnt beyond recognition. To our surprise, the early morning rain which we thought could help save the car also stopped immediately the car was completely gutted by the fire. Sympathizers didn’t even know we owned the car.
“They all ran past us to see the burning car. They were wondering if people were still there and all that. By the time my parents and elder brother were aware of the incident, they all cried, but I think it was for joy. Initially, when my dad was aware of it, he wasn’t happy that we were coming to pick them. We had intended to give them a surprise lift from the airport. But, when we took our dad to the scene of the accident, he couldn’t talk anymore. He was in tears. The car wasn’t the reason he cried. I guess he was just surprised and was grateful to God as to how we manage to come out unscathed and how the bible was not touched by fire.
“I am sure God really loves us. We had just finished a youth vigil a night before the incident and prayed against destiny wasters. Shortly after we left the scene, we went to Garki General Hospital for necessary tests including x-rays. Nothing happened to us. We were given paracetamol and pain relievers, which to my knowledge none of us has been taking because nothing happened to us.”
According to Jeremiah, the Bible was later recovered from the ashes of the burnt car while it was not scathed by the inferno.
He disclosed that many people had been coming to Christ Victory Life Church in the city to see the Bible and use it to pray over their problems.

Wow, i was really praising God when i was reading the story… i just remembered what happened to me some few weeks back on my way from Ajah to Lekki, on that fateful Morning when it had rained and was drizzling.i was driving down and suddenly encountered a slippery road where those trucks carrying sands always went to take sand to supply to ppl building houses, i would tell you to my surprise the car started zig ma rolling on the road and i was on 80-100kmph… The good was that there was no cars closely behind me and i just tried to control the car when it sweeved me to the left and the tyres just turned suddenly i just left the steering to return by its self and then i took my legs off the throttle and all owed it to slowly down a little, didnt press the brakes suddenly cos it would have somer saulted , that was how i controlled the car,,, i was so scared and just 10minutes before it happened to me two cars already had accidednt at the same spot, i was so graeteful to God……., Most times such happens cos of soverspeeding and inability to control the steering when it happens,,,, my little advice to commuters, please dont overspeed when it rains and be watchful ahead of u while drivin g cos with the nature of the roads in naija u could be driving and suddenly encunter a pot that would require u to stop suddenly and lose control of the car ,this can ofcos lead to accident….. Tahnk God any way s for all.

God is forever faithful and no word spoken out of his mouth shall return to him void but it shall accomplish that for which he set it out to do.I tap from your miracle and believe that by his grace and mercies,I and my entire household. Will not die untimely and unprepared and this is my sincere wish for all in Jesus name Amen!
