I would like to testify of God's goodness and faithfulness on this steemit platform.
God is good and faithful all the times and all the times God is good and faithful. HIS loves endures forever. HIS loves is unconditional. God will never leave me nor forsake me. God is sovereign. God is bigger than every problems and every situations. HE is alive. HE is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever the same. This is the type of God I am believing in.
In the year 1994, I was diagnosed with Grave disease that's hyperthyroidism. If not monitor properly and carefully were lead to hypothyroidism. And in serious cases if symptoms getting worst this Grave disease can become fatal. The symptoms for each patients is not the same.
For me the symptoms are:
Heart palpitate extremely fast. At this stage if not taken care were lead to heart enlargement and heart failure.
Keep losing weight. No matter how much I eat my weight keep dropping.
Fingers trembles.
Sweat alot until my entire clothing become wet.
Irregular menses flow and at times very heavy flow.
Imbalance of thyroid stimulating hormone. This hormone if not monitor properly and carefully were lead to eyeballs popping off. What the doctor normally do is monitor through blood test.
I had gone through uncountable number of times for my blood test from 1994 to 2006 , for almost 13 years. Infact every month I have to go for blood test. Everyday on carbimazole and propranolo. I can't stop taking these medications without the consent of my doctor. But thank God I was taken care by a specialist doctor.
Everyday my church members uphold me in their prayer. At that time I haven't known Jesus yet. I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Saviour on 16 September 1998 and got baptised on Dec 1998. On 16 September 1998 God send a good Samaritan to share HIS words in John 20 : 1-18 about the empty tomb.
John 20 : 1-18
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Whole of verses 1-18 really proof to me that Jesus is God because HE didn't die. HE was crucified on the cross. And they placed HIS body in a tomb. And the tomb was guarded by the Romans soldiers. On the third day HE rose from the grave. Until now scientists tried to do a research where do Jesus body gone to ? But they didn't get an answered to their research.
Because of the empty tomb that I came to know HE is the true and living God. That's why I accepted HIM as my personal Lord and Saviour on 16 September 1998. Before 16 September 1998 I haven't know Jesus yet but the Lord Jesus is so good to me. HE performed HIS first miracle healing on me in the year 2006. The year 2006 I experienced miracle healing from HIM where the reading of my thyroid stimulating hormone back to normal. From then on until now there are no need for me to be on medication anymore and on top of that no need to go for blood test anymore. In other words I am set free from this grave disease. I am completely healed in Jesus name. Thank the Lord for HIS promised in Psalm 30:2 Oh Lord, my God, I cried out to You and You healed me.
Before I experienced this first miracle healing, in the year 1999 my thyroid stimulating hormone relapsed. And if the reading of my thyroid stimulating hormone keep relapsing my doctor will have to ask me to go for radioactive iodine which I didn't want to go. Because radioactive iodine enhanced the developing of cancerous cells. So what I do I pray to Jesus for HIS healing. Because after accepting Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour on 16 September 1998, I also came to know that HE is my greatest physician.
If Jesus can raise Lazarus who had died for 4 days back to life again so that's nothing impossible for HIM to heal me. Once again thanks be to Jesus for HIS healing whereby there's no need for me to go for radioactive iodine and on top of that after much prayers my thyroid stimulating hormone back to normal to the extend that my doctor was amazed with my thyroid stimulating hormone result. The reading of my thyroid stimulating hormone drastic drop from 84 to 14.
At this point my doctor still keep monitoring me by asking me to go for blood test. From the year 1999 to 2006 the reading of my thyroid stimulating hormone is so steady and at last my doctor ask me to stop taking medicine and no need to go for blood test anymore. Praise the Lord for HIS complete healing.
After accepting Jesus into my life I am set free from the bondage of sin and received complete healing from HIM.
Beside suffering from hyperthyroidism, in the year 1998 I also came to know that there is a cyst inside my right ovary. The size of the cyst was 4cm. After knowing that I got ovarian cyst, before I go for blood test to find out whether is cancerous or not, once again I surrender my health problem to Jesus. I proclaim God promised in HIS word in Psalm 103:3 Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Thank God after the blood test the result show that it is not cancerous. But the gynecologist told me that there are no medication for cyst. If the cyst keep growing bigger and bigger than I have to go for surgery. But that didn't worry me because Jesus had already proved to me that HE is my greatest physician therefore I can put all my hope and trust in HIM. I start to pray to Jesus to remove the ovarian cyst for me so that I no need to go for surgery. Once again my prayer was answered. Through HIS miracle healing the ovarian cyst shrunk and was discharged from my body. The next round when I go for my follow up the gynecologist did a scan and found out that no more cyst in the ovary. At this point i came to realised that the jelly like substance that was discharged from my body was actually an ovarian cyst. Once again Praise the Lord for HIS miracle healing.
In the year 2003 I suffered from a very heavy menses flow that lead me to see a gynecologist. After did a scan on me the gynecologist told me that there's a growth in my ovary. This time is not a cyst but is a fibroid. Again the gynecologist told me that there are no medication for fibroid. But if the fibroid keep growing bigger and bigger I need to go for surgery.
Once again I surrender my health problem to Jesus because Jesus promised in HIS word in 1Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety upon HIM for HE cares for you. Praise the Lord the next round when I go and see my gynecologist after he did the scan he told me that my fibroid is becoming smaller and smaller and came to a stage the fibroid disappeared.
My gynecologist told me that I am the first patient that he came across experiencing miracle. My gynecologist can't explain further because he haven't seen this type of fibroid result. He told me that as long as a person still having menses the fibroid will not disappeared neither will it becoming smaller and smaller.
So Praise the Lord for HIS third miracle healing. After three times experiencing miracle healings, I began to feel the presence of CHRIST is so real in my life. Only those who experienced it will know the reality of God's goodness, mercy, grace, HIS presence and HIS faithfulness.
I am very happy and joyful that I am believing in the true and living God, that hears and answered my prayers.
This is me. This photo was taken three weeks ago. If you see this photo and my actual person you won't believe that I have gone through serious health problem before. But praise be to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for healing me. All glory, honour and praises back to HIM. My Saviour deserve all the glory, honour and praises.
