During June/July 2009, I spent 5 weeks preaching the gospel in Asia. On my return, my wedding ring disappeared from my travel baggage somewhere in Asia. It was in a little ring box. I had taken it off before arriving at the airport due to the tedious security procedures at the Asian airports (they were on high security alert). Rather than lose it, I decided to box it and put with my travel luggage. The luggage was left with the airline security for 20 minutes. It was here in at the Asian airport that it was stolen. Unfortunately my travel insurance was limited and did not cover this item nor the other two relatively inexpensive items, also stolen.  Being not materially minded and overwhelmed by the success of the trip, I quickly forgot the ordeal and pressed-in to the other plans God had for me.

Several months passed by, and as my wife and I approached our 17th wedding anniversary, my wife, Jessie remembered the missing ring. It was of great sentimental value to her, for many reasons. Being a mighty woman of prayer, she asked the Lord to restore the missing ring. On Monday (4 days before our anniversary on 4 December and approximately 6 months later), the actual missing ring appeared in our bedroom. It was neatly placed on a table. It was obvious that an angel of the Lord had fetched it from Asia and delivered it to us.

This is not the first time we have had angels brining stuff to us, especially missing stuff. I remember an amazing experience as a new Christian many years ago, before I was married. I searched frantically for a missing document (which I knew I had probably thrown away some 10 months previously). After driving my mum and entire household crazy, I pondered on how I would obtain a copy. While reclining at the dinning table deep in thought, my eyes fell on a sealed envelope in the center of the table. It had my name on it.  I opened the envelop and inside was my missing document. No one could account for this but I knew an angel of the Lord had delivered it just in time. The Angel wrote my name on the envelop and sealed the envelope. For many years I carried the document wherever I went, just to remind me of the reality of the Lord.  

Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service of those who are to inherit salvation? Heb 1:14 (Amp)
