Witness of GOD's Grace 2013

This is the extended and translated version of my article "Kesaksian 2013".

I believe everything that happened around me has been God's work unto me, for Jesus Christ love is poured unto me. Regardless the condition of an event, I believe that all are to prepare me throughout my life journey in faith. It is all by Jesus Christ grace!

1st: The Ticket
God's working hands has this event happened from the beginning of 22nd December 2012 but I yet to find out. It all started when my colleague asked me to help him to ask whether there are available transportation ticket from Menumbok to Labuan on the 1st January 2013. I just replied him "Sure, why not?".

The 22nd December 2012 then arrived and I will be 'sailing' to Menumbok from Labuan. The ferry was delayed and I reached Sabah at around 5pm. I drove through the ticket counter because I felt like I am too lazy to ask on behalf of my colleague. But then a little desire to help makes me to stop and I go ask for the ticket. Turn out that there are no available ticket on the 1st January 2013 but on 3rd. I then call my colleague to inform him.

9 days I was on leave and I have to go back to Labuan. Upon my arrival at Menumbok, I checked my ticket and I was quite surprised that I still need to pay RM14 for arrival / 'landing' fee. I looked in my wallet and there was RM3 left because I already used my RM35 which RM20 I asked from my father for breakfast and gas. But God's grace is amazing! His way is beautiful! Turn out that my colleague was departing on the same date as me and I call him and get to borrow him some money to pay the fee, Praise The Lord!

2nd: Fuel
Last week, I have been trying my best to save for food and car fuel. My car fuel is only one bar left and that gives me about two days to go and back from work. I am saving to go to church for reheasel and Sunday service.

However, I believe that God won't leave me alone. I have faith that God will do something about it. Then on the 11th January 2013, one of our admin clerk need my help to send her to town. At first I am looking for any available company's car or van but there are none. Then the clerk asked to use my car. Upon that request I tell her the truth that I was running out of fuel. What happened is that she gladly will pay for my fuel! and she is a Muslim. She will be blessed! I was so thankful to the Lord that His way is through just anyone, anything and anytime! Amen!

3rd: Hungry
On the 12th January 2013 after work, I go to the Labuan Botanical Garden to relax while listening to gospel song. That day, I haven't eaten any rice and only the cake from my company's freezer. It's not that I don't want to buy rice but I am saving until 15th January comes. I am really hungry that moment, but with smile I pray to Jesus to sweep away my hungriness.

Thanks to the Lord on His highest throne, half hour later one of my friend from UMS called me to join their UMS Christian Student Fellowship. At first I was quite shy but I can't resist it. I just go for it and I was blessed with the food and their fellowship.

****HOPE****FAITH****LOVE****

God's help has never too late, He is always there and listens to our prayer. It is our duty to call Him and pray to Him without intentional selfishness. God will always help those who call out for Him!

Philipians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all you need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.

Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever! Amen.
