Miracles Following Prayers.

Below are the accounts of a real God working passionately in the lives and circumstances of 4 Christians who looked to Him in times of need.

1. God Make Exceptions. (Shawn Ow, Australia)

Shawn used to be an extreme skeptic of the Christian faith. However, God is One who answers all who seeks Him, and when Shawn eventually searched for answers in His life, Shawn found and gave his life to Jesus.

Shawn is a Singaporean student who has been studying in Australia for the past 3 years. Upon his graduation recently, God blessed him with a great job in a prestigious company.

However, Shawn faced a problem when he had to move out of his school's hostel upon his graduation. Accomodation options available to him in Australia are either too costly for him, or are too far from his future work place. The best option would be to stay on in his school's hostel as it is affordable to him as well as near his future workplace.

However, under the university regulations, students are NOT eligible to stay on in school's hostel upon their graduation. Nonetheless, Shawn asked his school to make an exception for him, but still, it was to no avail.

Until Shawn prayed, and asked God to intervene.

By faith, God moved him to approach the school about his request again, and miraculously, without any hassle, his request was approved instantly. Nothing of this sort has ever happened to anyone in the school...and Shawn knew without a doubt, nothing of this sort can ever happen to him, if not for God.

2. Training Provided! (Gim Seng, Singapore)

Gim Seng is a navy officer with the Navy of the Singapore Armed Forces. He recently received Christ after spending many years searching for the answers to life. Despite his self-confessed lack of faith, God answered his prayers when Gim Seng asked God for a favour with a simple prayer.

The Navy wanted Gim Seng to give a speech to an audience in a couple of months time, and being more of a thinker than a speaker, Gim Seng found that a tremendous challenge. He needed help and he needed it sooner than later.

Gim Seng decided to pray and tell God about his problem. Surely God can do something about it, he thought.

One fine day, about a couple of weeks after his prayer, Gim Seng was given a ticket by a friend to attend a seminar which his friend could not make it for. At first, it appeared to be nothing more than an event which Gim Seng just chanced upon.

However, upon closer note, Gim Seng realised it was a divine intervention by God to answer his prayers! The seminar was a training session for equipping people to public speaking, and it could not have come more timely than now for Gim Seng.

God answers prayers and surely, He had just answered Gim Seng's prayer.

3. Lobang King (Jack Cheong, Singapore)

Jack received Christ recently when he finally came to learn of the gravity of what God did on the cross to pay for his sins. Jack was thrilled about his newfound life in Christ and despite the trials and temptations that tried to dissuade him to grow further, Jack was certain God has found him and he has found God.

When Jack learnt more about the importance of leading a life devoted to Christ, Jack realised it was of utmost importance to show his love for God in real and tangible ways, rather than paying mere lip-service to God. Soon, it became clear to Jack that tithing was a spiritual discipline which reflects a heart of genuine devotion to God. Jack wants to start tithing straight away, but he had also just graduated, and he needed to provide for his family and make ends meet in many areas of his finances.

So Jack prayed and asked God to give him some tuition jobs to provide for his financial responsibilities. By faith, he approached a few tuition agencies and from then on, tuition job offers came ringing in non-stop.

It was not something usual for Jack...but Jack knew in his heart, miracles are certainly not unusual from God.

4. There Will Be Enough Rest! (Si'er, Singapore)

Si'er is a trainee teacher undergoing training in the National Institute of Education for the past one year and he is thankful to God for bringing him through the past year of tight schedules in his studies and work in church.

The new school year is about to start, and Si'er knows he is in for another season of tight schedules in his school work soon. Lectures and tutorials in school often meant going home at late afternoons, if not evening. However, there is a course coming up in a Bible College which greatly fascinates Si'er and he knew he had to sign up for it. The course has its lessons on every Thursdays evenings, and Thursdays in the past always meant going home late.

By faith, Si'er signed up for the course in the Bible College, despite knowing he is commiting himself to a tiring half-year ahead. Si'er just prayed God will give him enough energy to go through it all.

However, upon receiving his time-table for his new semester, Si'er was both surpised and awed by what he saw. The new semester's time-table had NO LESSONS on Thursdays and lessons on Fridays starts only after 12pm!

This meant Si'er will have ample rest before his night classes on Thursdays and after which, he could rest really well to prepare for his school tutorials on Friday afternoons! Only God and the school administrator can adjust the school's time-table, and Si'er certainly didn't tell his school administrator about his problem.

He only told God. And God did something about it.
