My Simple Testimony

This is just a short and casual blog. It's my personal testimony that I intend to share with my readers. Being home for more than a week has indeed accumulated great blessings from God. Here, I would just touch on my spiritual walk during my entire annual leave. As usual, I chatted with my Mum whenever we are together whether we are at home or shopping or dining out. One night she shared with me her experience engaging in charity works through a Buddhist Society. Even in a midst of serving the society, she got to know a new friend at an exhibition whom is a Christian. Thanks to God whom had answered my prayer and worked through that friend of hers, my Mum actually asked me to bring her to church! Praise The Lord! I arranged to visit a Chinese church with her on a Sunday but too bad, she did not really like their approach. But it is not the end of everything as I see salvation in her while I myself have gained a new revelation and inspiration to write my next blog. If you notice, God works wonders in you in whichever ways... (Well, I said "If you notice") Amen.

When I travelled to KL, I managed to attend an event called Yeah Show! It is preached by Pastor Enoch Lim, a very famous pastor from Hong Kong. It is an annual event and everything is based in Cantonese with testimonial sharing sessions by some Chinese artists. Pastor Lim's approach is truly impactful where he is able to lead thousands and thousands of people to Christ even just by this event alone. You must be wondering what kind of approach he is using. He acted as a stage comedian - giving humourous speech which reflect the problems we are facing at the current society and at the same time reflect how are we gonna be saved which is through Christ Jesus. Meaning to say, you would never feel bored listening to him but filled with laughter and yet causing us to think through what he said. Awesome right? Hallelujah! This round an artist from Hong Kong, Lee Ya Nan came to share her testimony. I was truly touched by what she said regarding her life as an artist having to lose peace, joy and herself in the entertainment industry. It reminds me of a Bible verse which I also shared before when I relate it to my own job. The bible says from Mark 8:36-37 "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?" I was filled with tears and emotions at that moment. It's a blessing to have attended this event as I foresee that Pastor Lim or I would say this sort of approach is able to lead my Mum and even my sister to salvation and stronger walk in Christ. It is indeed a new hope to many! Amen! Amen!

On Saturday I wanted to attend a church but things seem like not very positive. In the end, I decided to attend service in City Harvest KL instead of just shopping and wasting money. I did not have friends there, I have never been there and I have to worry about my transportation as in taking a taxi to and from. With all these concerns, I still feel like going there. At 4pm, the time to service was drawing near, while I was doing my shopping alone at Sunway Pyramid and searching for a Book of Prayer at MPH Bookstore, my friend called. He said he had arranged his friend to pick me up to church. I was really... "Wow!" In the end, I got transportation to and from the church without paying a single cent! Got to know some new friends there, impacted by the Word Of God for the day and got to know their planned surprise for City Harvest Singapore and Pastor Kong; have given me another new breakthrough! You can never imagine the things that I have been thinking and discussing with several people were actually discussed through that sermon. It is not the first time... but all the time that God has been answering to me. In fact it had also helped to calm myself down in terms of my concerned relationship that I just started. Praise The Lord!!!

Lastly, I just want to say that things happen when you least expected. Even when you are unsure, you just got to continue praying and talk to Jesus. I don't know when is the right timing, I don't know how is He gonna reach me but He will surely answer to me. I am firm because I know Christ is in me. Amen.
