One True God

By Eddy

Just want to share with you an amazing thing that happened last night.


Background
Last Sunday was the first time I brought my parents to my church (West Anglican Church). On Monday, one of the brothers from our Chinese Service - Mr Hong Shu Shan - called our house and arranged to come down and talk more about Christ with my parents. The appointment was fixed for Wednesday at 730 pm.

When the time came, Mr Hong showed up with two other sisters - Miss Guan Li Hua and Miss Wang Xiu Ying. They proceeded to share the Gospel with my parents and to ask if they were ready to receive Christ into their lives.

My mother was hesitant at first because of her beliefs (see below). However, for the past few days she had confided to me that whenever she was in the kitchen, she would hear a voice in her ear speaking the name of the Lord over and over again. I had told her - and the Chinese Service brother and sisters confirmed - that this was God trying to reach out to her. Faced with overwhelming evidence of God's existence, she decided to receive Christ.

This was when the amazing thing happened!

Amazing Grace
When they had finished saying the Sinner's Prayer, Mr Hong declared that we would have to get rid of all false idols and statues. So out went the Guan Yin idol, out went the Fu Lu Shou figurines, out went the Laughing Buddha statue...even the dreamcatcher that my brother bought in Taiwan. Anything that smacked of another religion had to go, even those that were kept in the storeroom. The only thing that escaped was the ancestors' tablet.

When my mother came out of the storeroom Mr Hong called to her and asked her to stand in front of our night-light in the living room. He said, "Stand here, receive God's blessing, and see what He has done."

My mother did as he told and when she opened her eyes...

The light from our night-light had formed into a cross! (see attached picture)

Mother's Past
Now, you must understand that I come from a family very steeped in Taoist/Buddhist beliefs. My own maternal great-grandmother was a temple medium; on special occasions she'd go into a trance and cut her tongue, cast out demons from people etc. From young, my mother had been infused with a very strong belief in Taoist/Buddhist - and later, the Hindi sage Sai Baba - gods. She did not believe in any god that did not require incense worship.

When God wants you, there is no way you can say No

When I first became a Christian in May, my mother was my strongest persecuter. Every weekend when I came home after church we would argue as to why I could not light joss-sticks anymore, why I was so willing to tithe to the church and so on and so forth.

And yet, in the space of 2 months the Lord had touched her heart so that she herself came to receive Christ! And not just herself but my father as well! My youngest brother - who was my other persecuter at home - is now reading Bible stories and thinking about going to my cell group with me.

Friends, I want you to know that there is only One True God in the universe, that He loves us beyond measure and that He wants all of you - Yes! Each and every single one of you! - to become His child again.

You may jeer at His disciples and mock His name, even blaspheme against Him; but this does not take away from His majesty, His power, His presence.

God is not an abstract concept reserved for the religious. God is working everyday to get closer to you, to enter your life and to give you more, more than you can ever dream of.

Stop denying the existence of God and saying that your life is fine the way it is without Him. An Eskimo in Alaska cannot appreciate the beauty of sunny California if he does not venture forth to see for himself.

The doors of Heaven are open for you NOW; the only thing left to do is to step in yourself. Don't try to run away or hide yourself; resistance is futile.

Because when God wants you, there is no way you can say No.
