Shout his Name
Bro John Seow
It has been 5 to 6 years since I had a medical issue of blood leaking in my body.
I went through many medical procedures to check where the blood was leaking from, but the doctors could not find the source. As a result I have to go for many blood transfusions, spending many hours at the hospital. Sometimes I had to have a blood transfusion every 1-2 weeks. Because of this medical condition, I was always weak, and fell down a few times at home! I thank God that each time it happened, God sent His angels to cushion my falls and all I suffered were some bruises on my knees and other parts of my body. I cried out to God for help, clinging to His promise that He hears me. I was reminded of how Jesus healed the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43-48) and I was very encouraged by this miracle and I told myself that I will exercise faith like this woman.
I am very glad to say that in 2021, while it was a bad year for most because of the pandemic, the Lord had been so good to me. He was healing me, and the usual number of blood transfusions had been greatly reduced. My blood count had gone up too and I felt stronger and more energetic. In 2023, when I had pneumonia and was hospitalised for 2 months and in critical condition, my son, siblings, Christian friends and relatives had been praying fervently for my recovery. Many thanks to our gracious Lord who has given me a new lease of life. It was the most memorable time. All glory to God!
God is not only good to me, He is also good towards the people around me. My granddaughter‘s friend had handed her a cat for safe keeping while she went for a surgery. One day while my granddaughter was at work, my helper was tasked to take care of it. One moment, the cat suddenly disappeared. She searched the whole house and the estate for it but to no avail. She was so worried that she broke down and cried. Looking at the situation, I prayed to God for help as my helper was not able to compensate for the cat. As soon as I finished praying, the cat appeared in front of me. My helper was greatly delighted at the sight of the cat. How great was our God and how he answered my prayer instantly!
At the family front, God’s favour has been upon my two adult children. Their marriage relationship with their spouses, and their parental relationships with their children have been very good. My wife and I are so grateful to God for these. God has also blessed my son and daughter in their careers. They have the favour of their bosses and got promoted. My wife and I felt that our family is really deeply loved, highly favoured and greatly blessed! God is good all the time! To God be the glory.
