FICTIONAL EXPRESSIONS: "IN THE NICK OF TIME"

JUST THINKING:

Rockets, bullets, grenades, OPDs were everywhere. Dead bodies littered the city and what remains of the city were debris. This is what usually happens in the times of war. We were at war with the enemies of our country.
The war was serious. There were attacks and counter attacks. But we stood our ground. We said, "This is our country and no persons can infiltrate our land to colonize us. We will give our last blood for our nation" .
We gave a good account of ourselves and fought gallantly. We even thought we had won the war at a time because of the heavy losses we inflicted on our enemies. Then, things changed. 
We saw bigger tankers, many footsoldiers with sophisticated weapons heading towards us. On our parts, we were running out of ammunition. They came heavily down on us. Many of us were killed. We were in our hole and we couldn't stand them. We got surrendered by them and they launched a heavy attack on us. 
The attack on us was very intense. From fifty, then to twenty, then to ten and now we are just four persons left against a large number of soldiers, weapons and tankers. 
I thought the end had come. "Is this how my life will end", I thought to myself. I thought of my father, my mother, my siblings and Richie my dog. 
The enemies were coming to the hole we were hiding in while shooting at us. I peed on my body out of fear of being killed.  Suddenly, I remembered Psalm 46:1. I believe it came in the nick of time. It says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".
Immediately, I had to call on God to help and rescue us at that moment. Then I decided to put up my head to look how close they were to us. But my eyes were drawn to one of the soldiers afar off. 
He brought out a cigarette to smoke thinking they had won the battle. However, he didn't realize that there was a spill of fuel from the gallons of fuel packed somewhere beside thlong truck of fuel he leaned on. 
As he lit the cigarette, what happened next was a big explosion. I saw flesh of bodies flying in the air. The explosion killed 90% of the enemies and destroyed their tankers. The impact on them was massive. 
When I saw this, I immediately came out of the hole shooting at the others who were on the ground but not yet dead before they could recover. The other three soldiers joined me and that was how four of us survived the onslaught of our enemies. We eventually won the war. 
God showed up in the nick of time. He used the unlikely thing, "a cigarette" to rescue us and to give us a great victory. God showed up when we needed him the most. 
God can also deliver you at anytime using likely and unlikely means,  people and situations to deliver,  save, help and rescue you. 
He doesn't only bless and deliver through great, mighty means, people and sources. But He can also deliver and bless through the insignificant, useless, lazy,  poor,  illiterate and unlikely things and people. 

If you love fictions, you will love and appreciate my write-ups. I express God and his kingdom through our fictional write-ups.
