Story #1 - Sunday 13/2
It started with me losing the key to the jeep. Now, I'm quite prone sometimes to losing things but losing a key to jeep was a big thing, it's only one key without anything connected to it, it is thin and could easily be lost, and lost it was. and although we searched everywhere (even the compose and trash). I was down.
We went to church that morning and I couldn't really concentrate, my mind was a zillion places. The speaker spoke about trusting in God, something about trusting Him to provide, lead and some other things which I can't really remember. All I remember was I was challenged to trust in Him for this. I would trust in Him for the key, as I have seen His faithfulness for countless other things that I've lost before, glasses, wallet, laptop you name it I'd probably lost it before :p but He has been faithful. I'll tell some of those stories later.
I decided to let my heart rest and trust although of course my mind races with 'oh man how now' every now and then. Pause. We'll come back to this story in a minute
Story #2 - Valentines 14/2
The DTS school has heaps of financial needs, many students and staff are faced with the enormous challenge of trusting God to provide for them financially to be able to pay for their lecture fees for the school. Some had only been able to afford small amounts, but trusted in God to leave their kampungs to do the dts. Many of them waiting, and trusting and crying out to God. literally. Today was valentines and a graph was put up to show the needs of the school, the various fees that have been yet to be paid, it seemed like a hill to climb. Students began to pray for one another, were challenged to give if the Lord led them to for others, some were close to tears because of the hill to climb. God was providing, amounts are coming from various places for the students, but it still seemed like an impossible hill to achieve, as outreach is coming soon, and large amounts are needed for that too (flights, transport and so forth).
Miracle #1 - Valentine night 14/2
We had our largest valentines gift from God today :)
God had miraculously provided the school with a large amount that was able to cover all the students and staff remaining lecture fees.
Just like that.
In one sms, one reply, one check. from Penang
It was unbelievable, how God provided figures accurate to the need, when students/staff began to release and be transparent before Him in brokenness, and trust God.
Miracle #2 - Morning Worship 15/2
It blew me away, well, it blew all of us away when the news was released the next morning after valentines before worship. Tears of joy. Thanksgiving. Rejoicing. It was unreal
And just when I was thinking during worship, wow God You really provide, and we/I didn't even need to do anything (sorta), it was like it was too easy for God. As we were singing, another miracle happened. My base leader who was about to leave the compound had the urge to look around the compound, and found the jeep key right somewhere behind the jeep on the parking lot! As she past it to me I almost broke down, it was as if God was saying to me, 'hey, you trusted me, here you go :)'. Singing the song, 'You are my Father, Provider, You're my deliverer', was so REAL. He is a God who provides. He is faithful. He knows where your keys are!
Back to story #1
As some of us began to wonder, how on earth did this happen? a couple of us searched the compound thoroughly, on our knees too! It was as if God just decided to place it there conveniently. Just then, I had two misscalls from my base leader, my phone had been on silent so i didn't feel it. Somehow I had an urge to check my phone, and found out the misscalls, called back and found out that they were stuck at home, their car couldn't start, and they needed to come to the base and guess what, God has just provided the key to the jeep and the base leader had the urge that morning to pass me the key right before they left for home! I could pick them! It was as if God was orchestrating ALL this for HIS glory! coincidence? I don't think so!
There were so many miracles that happened these few days but these were the few that really had made an impact on me. God provided me with support from home, I found my broadband and glasses which I thought went missing (Yes after all these experiences I AM GOING TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL!), the key, finances for ALL the students, and the best thing is I know more is to come. He has been faithful to provide and He will continue to be
Praise the Lord!
To God be the glory!
