Return of the Prodigal Son
Hey brothers and sisters in christ, thank you very much for ur
prayers. Im finally back home. It was on thursday. I joined the main
worship team for their practice. I was about to commit myself to that
team for long term since im already out of my family. Suddenly my
brother called Pastor Edward’s Handphone. My brother told me… " dad
said ur RM 50 would have run out by now. come back and collect ur money
". To my surprise, i repeatedly asked my brother… who said that? mum
or dad? and my brother confirmed it tat it was my dad that called me
home.
Immediately i took Pastor Edward’s motorcycle ( he lent me for my
personal daily use, PCX 511 ) and ride it all the way back from penang
to my home in Butterworth. When i reached home, my mom and brother
opened the gates. My mom asked me to come in, but i refused. I said ill
only come in if my dad allows me to come back. So my brother went to
ask my dad, and my dad said… come back la. So i went in.
When i saw my mom, i couldnt recognise her. Her whole face was red
and her eyes were swollen. Shes been crying for 2 days. I chatted with
my mom for 15 minutes. Then she went to sleep. I thought that i was
going to have a talk with my dad, instead he just kept himself occupied
in his room.
The next day, in the morning, my dad said, u hav to continue ur
degree programme and then meanwhile get a job. And tat was all he said
the whole day to me. Nothing has been established at tat point of time.
Finally on new years eve, he started talking to me. We chatted for a
few sessions. But we never touched anything as far as faith is
concerned.
Finally ive decided to approach him personally and talk to him
seriously bout this matter. I told him tat i still love this family and
want to be part of this family. Yet i cannot compromise my faith in
Christ. So i asked him, does he allows me to attend church? And he
responded that hes ok if i attend a church in butterworth(im currently
attending RGBC, a church in Penang while staying in Butterworth). Hes
reason is that, im wasting too much time in going to church. He only
allows me to attend the church.
So currently im still praying for GOD to put me in the right church.
The way i look at it now, at least i can finally go to church freely
now with my parents knowing that im a christian. I need not hide
anymore. I believe that by itself is a breakthrough and GOD will work
through it all. He is faithfull till the end. Amen. Hallelujah !!!
Although im sad tat i wont be attending frontliners weekly anymore,
but ill still be in touch with the frontliners ministry. Ill still be
serving in the frontliners floorball ministry. All i have to say,
frontliners, be strong and courageous. Be faithfull, commited and
passionate about serving GOD. I have done so throughout the 1 whole
year in RGBC with all my heart. And i hope that all of u will catch the
fire. To be on fire for Christ always. Hey 150 ppl. Dun forget that.
Dun forget the vision. Frontliners will go global one day. For God is
with us always. Hallelujah !!!
haha well we will be missing u but nvthe less life goes on lor haha…. well serve in whatever church ur gping to with all ur heart la ok… no tarik harga one aaa… haha alrite see yah soon man!!!
hey.. tears almost down my cheek!
well… take care!
well… stay strong!! finding a church - no worries… And i’m glad ur dad is accepting it…
its normal lo for a non-christian parent to say that going to church is wasting time!! my bf’s facing it too
good to hear tat u’re back.
