It is really amazing how God really works in one’s life.

On Thursday, all I knew was that I wanted someone to accompany me through the dull morning as I left my house too early. He provided me with the thought to just call Aniza and ask her out. I merely passed an invite card that was given to us last week to her and told her briefly about the event. Although she was afraid that she might have a lecture that day, I could tell that she had actually agreed to come.

After the “event”, God gave me 3 opportunities to share this story......

On Friday, just one day after the event, I attended “Channel Heaven Reloaded” and I was given the opportunity to share this with a group of 20 youths who attended it.

On Saturday, during WG, Matt again asked if anyone managed to ‘Bless’ someone the past week and I shared the same story with my WG.

The group only goes larger. On Saturday afternoon, I received a message from Kat in the afternoon, saying “Hi grace, can I ask you to share in 1 minute’s time on how you blessed Aniza when I talk to the youths about the easter outreach tonight? You basically share what you shared last night in channel heaven but in 1 minute. Write down what you want to say, say it, time it. I can meet you before svc to run through it. Ok? J” Of course, you could have known, I didn’t decline the offer and that night, I shared it with the WEB youths.

It was really interesting. I actually wrote what I wanted to say down and normally, when I start to stand in front of the crowd, I would forget what I wrote and start forming stories on my own that is similar to what I intended to say. But this time, I actually said exactly what I wrote and made it more conversational to the WEB youths. It was really amazing.

This was what I said: “Basically, what happened was last Thursday, I just felt like calling one of my ex- classmates Aniza, her name was actually in the prayer calendar that you guys received too. The agenda was meant to be just to ask her out for a meal and to chat over the meal, as a form of catching up with her. Incidentally, during the call, she told me that our testimonial was out and she was about to collect it on that day. I volunteered to accompany her back to our secondary school. On the way back, I passed her a copy of the invite card that we were given last week and asked her out to the “Get Alive” event. What excites me is that she agreed to come! You’ve got to understand, I’ve been praying for her for 3 years and it is really God’s divine appointment that we were able to meet that day. Although she is currently a JC student and might have lectures on Saturdays, she told me that if she has no lecture on that day, she would come. Now, I’m really praying that God would really free up her time and allow her to come for the event.”

Indeed, God is faithful. I really have to say that I did not do anything much and really do not deserve any credit. It is really God that is working through the prayers. I have been praying for her for 3 years and the WEB youths have also been praying for her as her name was in the prayer calendar. All I could say is “When we pray, we work; When we pray, God works”. I am really thankful for the answer prayer and I continue to pray that all of my friend that I have invited, whether through Facebook or by hand, that they would come for the event and experience the love of God in a different way.
