  It is one thing to grow in the household of Faith and hear of the great and mighty signs and wonders  that accompany a true believer’s life; it is another thing to have a real life experience of what is being preached. This could be assumed as the thoughts of Mr. F.E., a young student of Obafemi Awolowo University, after  escaping a death toll of a kidnapping event.
