Gospel singer Olabest recently shared a deeply personal and harrowing experience that highlighted his unwavering faith and the power of divine intervention.
In an emotional post, Olabest recounted a journey that took a dark turn when he found himself in a perilous situation. Years ago, while traveling to Abeokuta, he was suddenly overcome with a gut instinct to flee as soon as he was dropped at a local interchange. His intuition proved right—moments later, he was ambushed, and a struggle ensued as he fought to keep his belongings.
The tension escalated quickly, with Olabest describing how he narrowly escaped being attacked by a group that had sinister intentions. He was left bruised and bloodied, facing what felt like an almost cinematic ordeal that could easily have taken his life.
But amid the chaos and fear, Olabest’s faith remained steadfast. He turned to prayer, surrendering to God as he found himself trapped and surrounded. Just when it seemed like there was no way out, a stranger intervened, understanding the danger he had narrowly escaped.
This encounter reaffirmed Olabest’s belief in God’s presence and protection, even in the darkest moments.
Reflecting on this terrifying experience, Olabest expressed his gratitude for the divine shield that saved him, attributing his survival to God’s mercy. “I give God all the glory for not making me a scapegoat to the enemy,” he shared in his post, reminding his followers that behind every humble and composed person lies a story of survival, faith, and gratitude.
