GOD does miracles-Abdul Razzaq
Thats afternoon again.Munching the lunch out of our plates, Kavilan and me are out on our bikes criss crossing the MG road signals and shooting straight towards St.Marks Cathedral. Our afternoons have been like this for the past few days, to the point that we feel that our heart has skipped its function if we'd skipped this afternoon sojourn with the LORD in His temple.
The unruffled silence of St.Mark's Cathedral's afternoon quietness had ripples........Yeah, a vocal petition to the Almighty from someone on his straight knees raised our eyebrows in disagreement.
A man, clad in Khaki, talking to GOD loudly in stern tones-sobs occassionally; I didn't have any personal petition to proceed;I said "Master maker, whoever this man may be, please hear his prayer LORD. set him free from that struggle which I know not. Have mercy Lord JESUS". Kavilan said, man, he prays loudly-we've never dared to do so here.
As we were about to head back to office, I felt moved by the Spirit of the LORD to meet this man who was already about to fire the engine in his autorickshaw. I said, "Brother , praise the LORD. Where is your auto stand. Can I have your mobile number incase I wanted to hire a rick?"
He said,"I'm Abdul Razzaq.My number is......I live at Kadugondanahalli (Nagavara ring road)Brother I was a rowdy, murdered 6 people.Was in jail.Underwent a lot of struggles. I came to know about JESUS. He asked me if I could understand Hindi. I pressed Kavilan into service, for I knew hindi to the level of understanding some familiar and oft uttered words alone.
Abdul Razzaq continued-"I was a hindu, turned muslim and now am a christian. I have married a muslim woman, who was epileptic and was certified as a barren woman-coz she would never get through the childbirth. I prayed to JESUS, bought some sweets and distributed it to the doctors and nurses and said "I shall have my baby and nothing will happen to my wife". They ridiculed but were done in when my wife gave birth to a daughter"
I went to the church and asked,"GOD, write all these Bible verses in my heart". I started uttering the verses automatically and they were all found in the Bible..He asked us to take down the favorite prayers in the Bible-Psalm 51,59,85,86,88,90 and Matthew 6:9-13 (The LORD's prayer)
This miracle daughter of his' met with an accident and slipped into an irretrievable coma. Doctors denied even the slender chances for her life. He pulled out the red string that acted as a BookMark in his Bibles and tied it around his daughters finger......................... She came back normal and alive.
My faith unfurled, shot a mercury's high as in a hot summer day.
He said, for my wife I had spent 15,000 and am daily paying Rs.100 as interest for the past 6 months. If GOD sets me free from the Rs.65,000 debts I will be a happy man.His throat choked and voice dropped into a mutilated dreamy speech
My heart was broken, for I know what financial struggle and debtors and interests and deficiency and hospital bills meant............... my heart writhed in pain and cried,"Lord, not for this man....let it (debts and deficiency) be far away from him and his family, for he has no one but you.You have caused him to hope in you"
There he was in his auto. The presence of the LORD moved.Kavilan and me in one accord appealed to the GOD who supplies every need. Like dewdrops on the petals of a flower, the tear drops in his (Abdul's) eyes started growing until his eyelids couldn't support the weight of the drop.
I dont know how I told him straight into his eyes,"2 years from now, you shall be a powerful man. You are not an ordinary man.You are extraordinary. GOD will fulfil everything concerning you and keep uttering Psalm 138:8"
He asked-"Will I be alive 2 years from now, for I'm a heart patient"
Riding back to our office, we (Kavilan and I) were still thrilled to see the unsettled goosebumps emanating out of hearing a live masterpiece-------- so carefully carved by JESUS out of a Hindu,Muslim,Murder,Impossible,Deathbed,Debt,Deficiency and completely negative background.
Mounting the bike on its stand, I mounted another prayer on its altar....................... LORD, I sure wanna meet this man in 2 years time as a powerful servant of GOD, completely delivered from his bondages (financial, physical etc). I ask this by taking your life (Holy Spirit) as the guarantee.
We had encountered another miracle..............and am glad to add this to the annals of miracles
