saving Brother Ryan ...
Found
myself humming few lines of the 23rd Psalm song, while in recollection of God's
saving grace in the life of Bro. Ryan Dela Cruz.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. "
Friday noon, just when we are about to close the church service in prayer, Bro. Ryan , a worker/ musician in JCTGBTG Ajman UAE Church, shared a short yet powerful & moving testimony.
Ryan, together with his manager, was on their way for a client meeting that day; they were heading to Al Ain ,on board a car running at the speed of 60kph via Dubai-Al Ain road. It was raining from last night that roads were left slithery.
In one snap, everything just happened ; they found the car hitting the road boarder, loosing control and spinning at 360 degrees. The car spun twice and all he could recall was that he boldly utter "in Jesus name" "in Jesus name" repeatedly,as praying with authority for the car to stop revolving; and it DID STOPPED ! it miraculously stopped safely !
Minutes later, they were rescued and were taken to the clinic to check for possible injury; but God, being true to His promises to His children, have protected and spared them from any harm; no bruise, no injuries, nothing; only a partly damaged car was there. 
Prior to this incident, police officers confirmed two mishaps that took place on the same day, on the same road, leaving the driver lifeless, as the car haphazardly skidded into the drenched road, hitting the road barrier and falling off the bridge.
As I was writing this, I was moved to ask Bro. Ryan about his realization of what had happened;
"it was more of a reminder rather than a realization" he said. "few weeks before the incident, I was spiritually low & was thinking of taking a break from my ministry" , he continued. "but right at that moment, I felt how great & powerful God is.. how He spares us" ; I was reminded by His love ; by His divine calling in my life to serve",
Bro. Ryan, enlightened and empowered, is now back on his feet, living on the very purpose of his life, serving God through his gift of music.
Though we, at many point in our lives, may fall short of the glory of God, but still His mercies were made fresh everyday; and His unmerited favor abound us.
Here's to a declaration of God's faithfulness and power ,"a celebration of God's saving Bro. Ryan"
Psalms 121:7-8: "The Lord will keep you from all harm, He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore".
Psalms 46:1 : "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble".
