This is a story sent to me by a Nigerian friend working at the Bible College I attended. ["Pick that lady" in the Nigerian rendering of English means "Pick that lady up", i.e. give her a lift/ride in the car].

Dear all ,

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FACT REMAINS THAT JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN. THE HOUR AND THE MOMENT WE DO NOT KNOW. LET'S PREPARE AS IF IT'S NOW AND LET'S PLAN FOR THE FUTURE AS NORMAL. GET WISDOM GET UNDERSTANDING. "PLEASE, THIS IS NOT A HOAX. TAKE IT SERIOUS". IT IS AN EVENT THAT OCCURRED HERE IN NIGERIA TO A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL. I WANT YOU TO TAKE IT SERIOUS, AS IT IS A WARNING TO THE PEOPLE. A MINISTER WAS COMING FROM A MINISTRATION IN THE TOWN OF ADO-EKITI, A TOWN HERE IN NIGERIA WHEN ALONG THE ROAD HE SAW A WELL-DRESSED LADY WHO DRESSED "AS A CHRISTIAN SISTER SHOULD". HE ZOOMED PAST HER BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD ASKED HIM TO GO BACK TO PICK THAT LADY. HE WENT BACK TO PICK HER AND AS THEY WERE CONVERSING HE DISCOVERED HE WAS RIGHT.  SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN.  SHE TOLD HIM THE FOLLOWING:

THE ANGELS OF GOD WERE READY TO BLOW THE TRUMPET LAST SUNDAY 20TH OF JUNE, 2004. THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN THEIR TRUMPETS AND WERE ONLY READY TO BLAST HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR JESUS THAT WENT TO THE FATHER ASKING HIM TO GIVE HIM A FEW MORE MINUTES TO WARN HIS SAINTS SINCE THEY WERE NO LONGER WELL READY FOR HIM.  THEY
WERE BUSY LOOKING FOR MONEY AND THE LOVE OF MONEY HAD FILLED THEIR HEARTS.  THE LADY THEN TOLD THE MAN THAT HE SHOULD GO AND WARN ALL THAT WILL CARE TO LISTEN TO THIS AND SHE DISAPPEARED RIGHT IN THE CAR.  SHE WAS NOT AN ORDINARY LADY BUT WAS AN ANGEL.  NOW, WE DON'T KNOW SO MANY THINGS PART OF WHICH IS HOW
MANY MINUTES GOD IS GRANTING CHRIST ELSE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CALCULATE THE TIME WE HAVE LEFT.  SO IN ESSENCE, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DAYS OR WEEKS OR MONTHS OR YEARS WE HAVE LEFT BUT ONE FACT IS SURE: FOR NOW IS OUR SALVATION NEARER THAN WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED.  PLS, IF U ARE NOT YET READY, WHY NOT ASK GOD
TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND FORGIVE U. HE CAN DO JUST THAT AND U WILL NOT REGRET EVER DOING SO.  THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS MAIL.  PLS ENSURE THIS MAIL DOES NOT END IN YOUR BOX.  FORWARD IT TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN.  I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT YOU TO A PARTICULAR NUMBER. SHALOM !  DON'T QUIT FOR YOUR TIME TO BE FAVORED HAS COME !
