That Keke Guy

On this faithful day, we went to do some shopping at the market or was it to eat, I can't really remember. But the striking thing about that day was the trip back to school.

We flagged down a Keke as usual, and we were on our way. As against the usual custom of silence or some private gist, my friend decided to kick start and follow up a conversation with the driver and then we all started talking. We somehow got into his 'private' life, got to know a couple of stuff and encouraged where we could. He was already born again, and was in a church, so we just talked about life essentially until we got to the front of school. Then when we were like, "this is where we'll be dropping", he didn't just stop on the opposite side of the road and continue on his journey as usual, he without asking turned his Keke and crossed us over to the gate so all we needed to do was to walk in. We said our 'thank yous', bid farewell and walked in. 

Quite some time later, my friend was going out again, and then a Keke stopped to pick her, so she got in and sat behind. This time around, the driver started the conversation and then, it was like "hello, do you remember me? I'm this person..., how is your brother..." and so on and so forth. And then she realized this was the guy she met quite some time ago. So they talked until she got to her destination (end of story).

Now, there have been multiple instances where we have all entered and re-entered Kekes (sometimes the same Keke twice in one day). 

But have we ever considered the fact that God could through us affect these lives? Create a mark for eternity?

There's so much going all around, and witnessing involves our everyday lives and contacts, not just the organised outreaches which occur occasionally.

Within just 5mins, a conversation with someone you probably haven't ever met before (no matter how casual , it doesn't have to be a serious one) could bring about a transformation that would make both heaven, the individual, and you yourself rejoice.

So today, tomorrow or whenever, say hi to that Keke guy, say hi to the guy at the shop, say hi to the guy you meet at the gate or on the way and don't just stop there, make an extra effort two more lines.... 

You would be surprised what God is set to do with just that 'hi'.

God bless you!!!

NB: You could just replace the 'Keke' with 'Taxi' or 'Uber' or 'Whatever means of transport you regularly use.
