Household Blessings

In July 2017, my husband, who is a non-believer, sprained his back and it caused him to have difficulty sleeping at night. It also affected his work and had a potential impact on his bonus given that his physical review was due soon.

The following Sunday, I attended church and during the service, Pastor Prince prayed for people suffering from back pain. He also pointed at the bottom-left area which was exactly where my husband was hurting. By faith, I stood up and claimed the healing for my husband.

When I got home, my husband was walking around the house without his medicated plaster on. He told me that he did not know why, but somehow the pain was no longer there. So I shared with him what happened at the service and instead of lashing out at me for being nonsensical, he remarked that my Jesus was very powerful.

Since then, he began to open up to the gospel and even started listening to Christian songs. Glory to God!

In addition, my nine-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son have also been blessed in 2017.

Initially, my daughter was faring poorly in her studies. Once, she scored nine out of 20 for her English composition and the teachers were telling me that she was an average student and might not be able to remain in the top two classes. This caused me to have many anxiety meltdowns.

Nonetheless, I kept praying and telling myself to walk by faith and not by sight — even when she came back with a score of 66 out of a hundred for her Mathematics test. We also started praying before she studied, asking Jesus to be her tutor and be in charge of everything.

During her final exams, my daughter brought along a small bottle of anointing oil from the children’s ministry, Rock Kidz. Before the start of her papers, she would dab some anointing oil on the crown of her head, the four corners of her table, exam papers and stationery. She even shared with her friends in class that the anointing oil was “Jesus oil”!

I thank the Rock Kidz teachers for teaching our children. By God’s grace, my daughter scored more than 85 marks for all her subjects, and came in second in class for her English composition. She also secured a place in the top two classes.

As for my seven-year-old son, he had been a slow learner since young. Even when he started primary school, he was still not able to read well. Hence, we had high expectations for him. I also never felt the urgency to sign him up for any phonics classes but just simply bring him to Rock Kidz every Sunday.

However, just by reading Bible stories, listening to worship songs and sermons, my son began to learn how to read. When it was time for his exams, he did so well that he came in third in class.

Our amazing heavenly Father really loves to exceed our expectations! Thank You, Jesus, for the amazing things that happened in 2017!
