God provided a miraculous bridge to help a pious woman cross a flooded river and return home safely after a market trip. When heavy rains caused the local bridge to collapse, the woman and her son found themselves separated by the flooded river. They prayed to God for help. Then, a strong wind blew down a palm tree, which fell across the river to serve as an emergency bridge. The son was able to cross on the tree and help his mother carry her goods home safely. The family celebrated God's divine intervention.

1. “ARTIFICIAL BRIDGE” FROM GOD
God Almighty provided emergency bridge for a village, when the
existing one was destroyed by heavy downpour and issuing flood.
All along, the LORD has been manifesting Himself more in the lives
of many of the villagers, since the white missionaries established a
station there. Of course, God moves wherever His word is being
preached and taught.
As they embraced the gospel, God has been delivering them from
many mishaps and disasters. Epidemic diseases were virtually gone.
The nefarious activities of juju priests, and native doctors, diabolism
in the land, were scaling down. Almighty was giving them a lease of
life.
There was one particular family in that community: a godly family.
The head of the household was made a catechist in the missionary
church. He, together with his wife and children, were worshipping the
true Almighty God. They used to pray regularly together. And the
LORD made a hedge over the household. The wife was very caring
to the family and others. Jehovah wrought the miracle of emergency
bridge through her.
On that faithful market day, she prepared her wares to go and trade
in a neighbouring community. Little did she know it would rain heavily
later in the day. She first went to her garden and gathered
vegetables, and a bunch of plantain. She as well prepared a gallon of
palm oil, among other items, to sell in the market. It was a market day
in the neighbouring village. Before leaving, she instructed her first son
to take of his other brethren, while she was away. He obliged.
Then, the woman set off for the historic journey to the market; a
distance of about twelve kilometers. She trekked the distance as
usual, with her wares positioned on her head. She successfully
crossed the bridge linking the two communities. She arrived in the
market; later sold off her goods, and bought food items like foo foo,
tubers of yams, and garri. Then, she started to trek back home. The
woman was carrying heavy load in the basket.
Soon, it began to rain. It rained cat and dog that day. There was flood
everywhere. Unfortunately, the local wooden bridge collapsed. It

constructed by inhabitants of the two affected villages. Of course, the
debris of the wooden bridge was carried away by the menacing flood.
Meanwhile, the first son and others were waiting patiently for the
mother to return home with goodies. She didn’t. Her delay in coming
back was unusual; obviously due to the downpour. The young man
became very much worried about her mother’s whereabouts. And it
was getting dark. He resolved to go and search for her. He defied the
rain and ventured out.
After over one hour of trekking and ‘torment’ from the rain, he came
very close to the bridge. And behold it was destroyed and cleared
away by flood! He stood by and began to wonder if her lovely mother
would ever come across. He couldn’t image the scenario, where her
mum would come to the other side, and won’t be able to come to him
due to the uprooted bridge.
Nevertheless, he was having a sense of victory over the issue. He
knew there is a Supreme Being, who is able to do all things. As he
was pondering over the issue in his heart; behold the mother was
coming from the other side, soaked in the rain, carrying load. He was
excited to see his mother, despite the predicament. She came close
to the bank of the river and stood. The two were separated by the
deep, flooded river.
They exchanged greetings and pleasantries. She asked him about
his other brethren and father? He told her they were all well. “They
are all concerned about your safe return home,” he said. She boldly
told the son not to border about her. She strongly believed the great
God they served would make a way for her to come home.
As she was speaking, the rain subsided and great wind began to
blow. It was a strong wind. Then, something happened. The power of
God through the wind, fell down one of the palm trees beside the river
bank. It fell across to the other side, and served as a bridge.
Mother and son were astonished and delighted about what God did.
He went across and carried the mother’s load. Then, he helped her to
pass through the fallen palm tree. The young man carried the load,

was celebration galore. Visit: http://powertrumpeter.org/blog1/?p=506
