2 nights before the day of my flight, I was already done packing my 3 suitcases to have 64 kilograms in total and 1 hand baggage to take it with me inside the flight. I weighed several times so not to exceed the limit of free baggage weight. As, one more day left for my journey to India, I weigh again all of the suitcases and were still 64 kilograms exactly, and a hand baggage 13 kilograms for only 7 kilograms free. Exceeding this limit of free baggage allowance of 64+7 kilograms, any extra kilogram would be charge @32 GBP (Great Britain Pounds) and I already exceeded by 6 kilograms. I started to wonder what am I suppose to do, as I had to carry all that remains and I really cannot afford to pay for the extra 6 kilograms.
Finally, 21 feb 2011, the day has come for my departure and just to make sure of it I weigh again at the airport and still weigh the same amount of 64+13 kilograms. Then, I started to speak and pray to God asking him so that I would not have to pay, I prayed, prayed and prayed and I approach the customer agent who serves me ticket, she gave me the best window seat I always want and then I started loading my suitcases one after another.
As, my luggage was weighted and sent on to the conveyor, I was then ask to put my hand baggage on for screening, I held my hand back for once but I still have to do it, so, just before the last check-in baggage went through. I was then told I have 6 kilograms extra on my hand baggage, and I then said nervously, Oh nooo Pleaseeee, at that point the agent pulled back my last suitcase of the conveyor saying you can put some in here as it is still light…then I said to her (the agent) Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you God, then I hurriedly stuff in some more into it and then I started to wonder and wonder for the thing that’s just happened…How good my Lord is for such a great miracle, and I did not stop wondering how my luggage turns out lighter on that fateful day. I was totally filled with joy and when I finished the check-in I rushed out to the open air of Terminal 3 Heathrow, London and continued to thank God for it on and on for such a great miracle which I did not expect at all.
So, I rung my Dad, my Mother-in-Law, my Mum, my lovely Wife and Peter Cordle, the elder of my church Lower Ford Street Baptist Church, Coventry to say thanks to God with me.
And, to conclude - I would say undeniably, we could even save money (I just saved 192 Great Britain Pounds) if we are Children of God. So let us all know Christ, come to Christ and accept him as our Saviour for he can take care of the rest.
