Divine Providence

This little update is a follow up on my earlier post on Miracle Working God http://jeefong.blogspot.com/2011/11/miracle-working-god.html

“When Monte and I received news that the Society of Pentecostal Studies (SPS) had accepted a paper he had earlier submitted for the upcoming 2012 SPS Annual Meeting, our hearts leapt with great joy. The theme is on "Pentecostalisms, Peacemaking, and Social Justice/Righteousness".  You may view this link for more information on the meeting http://sps-usa.org/meetings/meeting.html

We know that the Lord has opened this door. We know that God is in this.  While we were overwhelmed with great joy, our immediate response was that it will take a big miracle for Monte to go to Virginia, USA in March 2012 to present his paper.  However, we were quietly confident that God would come through for us.

Our God is a miracle working God.  He miraculously provided the air ticket through a missionary couple who came by Singapore on route to another country for ministry. We are very thankful for their generosity and help. Deep in our hearts, what has transpired is not a small thing; it is a significant move of the hand of God.

In our last home fellowship about a week ago, Monte held the air ticket in his hand and testified of the Lord’s providence.  It was a very significant and touching moment. The Lord challenged us to trust Him for other necessary expenses for the conference. God is so good.”

Monte and I are speechless; the Lord continue to touch our hearts with His love and presence.  He is not a figment of our imagination but a faithful God who hears our heart cries.  To date, he has not only provided for the air ticket but also covered all the necessary conference fees.  Monte has linked up with a fellow participant to share a room in an inn, as this will help to bring down the cost.  God is our helper.  His divine providence is all we need.

God has come through for us and we use it as a stepping-stone to propel us to a deeper level of faith in Him.  He never fails us.  We remind each other that as long as we have breath, we will hang on to His promises.  Our journey with our Maker may be challenging but it brings us the greatest joy and fulfilment.

We would like to say a big thank you to our family and friends who have given generously to us.  We appreciate and thank each one of you from the depth of our hearts.
