This is the story of a Nigerian cook who survived at the bottom of the ocean for three days on an air pocket which was inside the sunken boat he was in. He cried out to God and God answered him with a miracle. Had it not been for these divers searching for the dead bodies of the other sailors he would not have been found. As you will read the temperture went below freezing and this man in his prayer for deliverance received a miracle. Does God exist? Yes. Does God answer prayer? Most definitely. Just ask Harrison Odjegba.

Stuck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for three days, Harrison Odjegba Okene pleaded with God for a miracle. The Nigerian cook was able to survive by breathing a gradually decreasing supply of oxygen in an air pocket on the sunken tugboat. A video of Okene’s rescue in May was posted last week. As the temperature went below freezing, Harrison recited the psalm, a prayer for deliverance: “Oh God, by Your name save me… God sustains my life.”
The other 11 seamen on the Jascon 4 died and divers had been sent to look for the bodies. Tony Walker, the project manager for the Dutch Company DCN Diving, said that the divers were called to the scene because they were working on a neighboring oil field 75 miles away. They had already brought up four bodies, and then a hand appeared on the TV screen that Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat. The diver was shocked when he went to grab the hand and it grabbed his hand back.
