Prayer Support

Victor Ng received a tract from our church at his home in Toh Yi district, near the Beauty World MRT station in January 2016. He called to request for prayer support. His elder sister Ng Ah Pee suffered a haemorrhage stroke in May 2014 and fell into a coma. Ah Pee is Victor’s only nearest next-of-kin. She was responsible to take care of Victor when he was young. There is a close bond between this pair of brother and sister. Both are baptised believers.

Ah Pee was in a coma for four months. Victor testified that he prayed incessantly for her recovery during those four months, not bearing to be separated from his dear sister. Victor has been spending time speaking to her day and night. Miraculously, she awoke. Although she is unable to speak, bedridden and on tube-feeding, she responds to Victor by the moving of her eyes. Her facial expression shows that she was consciously aware of the world around her. Victor spends 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in the nursing home taking care of Ah Pee. A cyst was discovered in her abdomen and also a rectum mass. She suffers periodically from locked jaw.

There Is Only One God

In some countries where people have not read the Bible and do not know very much about God, there are many people who think that there are several gods. Some of them think that there are two gods, some of them think that there are four gods and some of them think that there are even a hundred gods or more. In some places, people think that the sun is a god and that the moon is another god so they bow down and sometimes pray to the sun and ask it to take care of them and help them.

Can the sun or the moon help us? No, these do not have life, they are not persons who can help us. They are only things that God made to give us light, to keep us warm and for us to enjoy. They are not gods, but they are made by God. We should never pray to things that God has made but only to God Himself.

Should we pray to the angels? Are they gods? No, angels are alive, and there are some of them right there where we cannot see them, but we should not pray to them. The angels are not gods, but they are helpers for God and that is why God made them. The angels love God and there are so many of them that we cannot even think how many there are.

Most of them are in Heaven thanking and praising God and telling Him how glad they are to serve Him.
