oh must mention about last monday too. well, 祸不单行. basically there was this day where the washing machine could not work. then it followed by the cold water tap from the kitchen sink ran out of water. after lunch, there was no more hot water. luckily the bathroom and the toilet still had water. we were thinking like how suay can we get for since everything in the house seemed to go wrong. we realised later that a major water tank leaked the night before and we had been using the water reserve for the whole night the night before and till lunchtime. luckily, the water came back by evening time. hahhaa..
went to olivia's church to listen to this testimony of Ian. He is a New Zealander and he was a gambling aethist who did not believe in God at all. Then, in 1982, he was stung by a jellyfish, the deadliest species and he was going to die. in the whole process of dying, he heard this voice reassuring and telling him things, i.e.
if you close your eyes you will die. basically throughout the ordeal, he began to pray to God and was truly repentent.
he was pronounced dead in the hospital. his soul went to this dark place. after a while, he went upwards towards this source of light. he experienced warmth, peace and unadulterated love from the light and there he was in heaven. God asked him whether he wanted to go down back to earth to live again. at first, the only person that made him want to go back was his mum. cos his mum is a devout christian and he was scared that if he were to remain in heaven then his mum may lose faith in God. he wanted to be a living testimony to his mum too. then God showed him faces. unfamiliar faces. Ian was puzzled as he could not recognise these faces. well, God's intention was to use him to reach out to others to believe in Him.
hence he chose to come back to earth. the whole experience took 15minutes and when he opened his eyes, he frightened all the nurses and doctors and was discharged the next day with perfect health.
well, his testimony may sound too amazing to be true but the lesson learnt personally for me is that i am living now is not because of my life on earth but i am reminded that i am living for the sonship, stewardship and worship of God. living for my eternal life. =p
