Just yesterday, when i was ministering at a fellowship, I had the privilege of praying with 2 ladies as they accepted Jesus as Lord. Now they enjoy an eternal relationship with our heavenly Father!
I still remember both their beautiful faces, the eyes of one of them brimming with tears as she cried in joy and release.
The angels rejoice as heavens make room for 2 more precious lives whom Jesus died for.
I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. ~Philippians 3:13-14~

fruit that remains
I was chatting with a friend earlier this month when i found out that his dad was prayed for by my granduncle who went on to be bishop and then bishop emeritus.
This is what he shared:
About 50 years ago, in 1948, the Bishop Emeritus Kao prayed for my dad, and instant healing took place. My dad got born again that day.
He was an national athelete from Gan Eng Seng Secondary School. When he was 20, he contracted TB. His smoking at that time made it worse. Having been exposed to Christian influence all his life, he could only think of going to church to seek help when the doctors told him the condition will stay with him. So he went from church to church.
At Paya Lebar Methodist Church, Rev Chew invited him to a young persons service where the Rev Kao (this was before he became bishop) was there too. So he prayed for my dad. My dad repented and decided to change his life.
One week later, the doctor said the traces of TB just vanished. At that time, the doctors who were not so medically advanced, worried that it may be cancer or something worse, but my dad - merely a baby born again christian said with faith: "no, God has healed me", and refused to go for the cancer tests.
He's 72 this year - with no cancer...no nothing. He's fit as a fiddle. Praise the Lord!
That's such a beautiful testimony of God's testimony. He heals and His work of healing is complete, perfect, that 50 years later, this person is walking in divine health! I'm so glad that my friend shared with me.
John 15:16a
16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.
This fruit of salvation and healing remained! All Glory To GOD!
