Chief Obama1 was curious about his destiny. He decided to consult Jingo, the most famous indigenous Prophet living at the time. He found him in his shrine.
“Tell me about my future”, Obama asked the Prophet.
After looking at his hands and eyes and performing a few rituals, the Prophet replied:
“Accidents will happen in your life. You will be maimed by a road accident, drown in water but survive, a lion maul but but not kill you… And, finally, in your old age, an aeroplane will kill you. Your grandson will be President of America but, like you, will be killed in a plane immediately after his presidency.”
Instead of enjoying an otherwise successful life, he had worked had for, CO1, lived a melancholic life trying to avoid the predicted calamities. He used the resources he had to buy a lot of land in the most secure locality distant from roads, airports/fields, animal parks, forests, mountains, any and all kinds of water bodies.
For many years, nothing happened to Chief Obama1. He raised a large and successful family that received the best education and became very successful professional and business men and women.
The Prophet, who was as famous for his prophecies, as Chief was famous for his wisdom, was discredited as a liar since what he predicted was outmatched by the chief’s wise and strategically protective decisions which were promoted throughout the entire chiefdom. What discredited Prophet Jingo the most was the chief being killed by an aeroplane and his grandson becoming the president of America.
“Yes my son or grandson can be a Chief, MP, Minister or even President in and of this country but not America,” Chief Obama would say, from time to time, to whoever cared to listen to him.
Many years passed. One day, Chief Obama1, fell sick. He was diagnosed with severe malaria. One of his daughters was a medical doctor. She was summoned to come quickly with the best treatments available since the patient could not travel by any means of transport still avoiding the prophecy.
After receiving treatment, he felt a strange chill all over his body. He greatly desired to have some sunshine. A mat was quickly arranged outside for him to lie on. The relief was great for some minutes as he conversed joyously with his wife and children before living him alone to carry on with other chores of the family.
Suddenly, a small aircraft took off from Wilson Airport on the outskirts of Nairobi, taking tourists to Mombasa. As it overflew Chief Obama’s home area, its engine began to malfunction. One thing led to another, it burst into flames and, as fate would dictate, it fell on nowhere else but on the very spot where CO1 was lying on his mat. He died instantly.
Jingo’s fame skyrocketed. Many years later, one of CO1’s grandsons, went to America to study. While there he found a suitor and married her. They produced a son called Barrak Obama who, later, became President of America. When his term ended, Barrack Obama, like his predecessors, would be compelled to fly an official Whitehouse plane to his retirement home and yet the above story is well known to all Obamaites. Even after his presidency, like or unlike his grandfather, he may be tempted to avoid consequences of Jingo’s prophecies that will nag him for many years.
Throughout our Christian life, “We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Cor. 5:7. Before the end of mankind’s history to usher in Jesus’ Second Advent, accidents will happen. There will be an overwhelming trumpet-voice that will shake the universe. Every one alive or dead will hear and or see Him. Matt. 25:5. Earthquakes will quake the earth. Mountains, rocks and waters will move and shake; cities will fall and islands will flee away. Rev.16:17-20. Those who received the Saviour will eternally rule with Him while Satan and those who rejected Him will face God’s just wrath. Indeed, “it is a dreadful thing to fall in the hands of the living God.” Heb. 10:31.
