You can also watch the testimony video here:
Dear my beloved friends.....
This is a beautiful testimony which was made in a documentary called “Love Never Fails"
The movie is really touching. The story is about a Singaporean actor who recently got married and after about a week he realized that he suffered from cancer which was diagnosed in his nose, you could have just imagined the suffering and pain his wife must have gone through after hearing this horrible news.
At First Ralph was in great shocked and disbelief when he heard the news. The doctor informed him that he got cancer and he had to go through radiotherapy to kill the cancerous cells but this would mean that the radiation would affect his normal cells as well. After the treatment Ralph was in great agony and it was quiet painful for him to drink water, however his wife prayed day and night.
One day Ralph wanted to eat and asked his wife to feed him as he was in pain but his wife was helpless with his situation, so she continued to prayer and said, "Lord you are God who can do miracles, can you please help us?”
Later he remembered a verse about the red sea, and then the actor saw the hand of God holding his hand and lead him to take to take the glass, and then he was able to finish the entire glass of water without any pain. It's truly amazing to experience the power of God through a simple prayer request from his wife.
Later the doctor gave out the bad news and said that the cancer became fatal and started spreading to his left eye and brain, this cancer got aggressive and the doctor predicted that he will live just for 3 months. The cancer also began to damage his hair and face steadily. His wife was very afraid that this Ralph’s current situation could de-motivate him and he could stray away from God.
But something remarkable happened; In spite of all his burdens Ralph was still faithful to God, infact he was ever more determined. He understood that God loves him and he truly believed it. After the doctor left the room Ralph spoke to his wife and said, “Alice, the bible tells us that, our lives are in the hands of God NOT in the hands of a doctor. It is not God’s will that I go to heaven yet. I know that God wants me to experience HIM more". A statement coming from a man who was in terrible pain and had very little time as he going to die soon. He always told his wife that he still believes in God, "I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ 100%, God’s love is infinite; He is great and a supreme God." God was the source of his strength throughout his journey.
Each day Ralph began to testify about all the love that God gave to him although his condition was getting worse. His wife Alice was always by his side, she was there all the time to help Ralph and prayed for him. One day when he opened the bible God strengthened him with the verse from Joshua 1:9 have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
It happened one day that he met with a stranger who didn't know Jesus, with his ugly face and barely unable to open his eyes he greeted the man and said ""have you ever heard about Jesus?".
With the cancer and all the pain he would still approach people around him and say to then that Jesus loves them.
On Chinese New Year 1995, Ralph returned to Singapore and asked his wife, do you know why I return to Singapore? You must me thinking because I miss my parents, but actually no, I return to tell the people here that God loves those who don’t know Him.
His wife knew that he return just to finish the task that God gave him. By the time they reached Singapore, they visited their families, relatives and friends just to tell them that God loves those in despair and burden.
Whenever Ralph began to talk about God he really felt an incredible strength, he proclaimed the bible with spirit and always praised God, he kept on saying that God never changes. He was grateful to have a devoted wife, even the doctor who treated him was amazed by the strength of his wife, and she managed to look after Ralph alone compared to the three nurses in the hospital. She prepared his meal, feed him, cleaned his wounds and she slept on the chair to protect her husband.
The fact that a spouse given by God will always stand by your side to help you and guide you towards God no matter how bad the condition is.
When his wife saw that Ralph’s health began to drop rapidly and his face got worse she would hug him, she was not afraid to look at thim.She said, "each time when I saw my husband’s face I saw the love of Jesus coming out from his face, to me as it was as if Jesus was looking at me everyday and It made me want to kiss him more. I truly felt that this marriage was the greatest blessing in our lives, He made as one body, and I learned so much as a wife."
On one occasion, his wife saw Ralph crying to Jesus and his wife said, "Lord, his life is in your hands. Lord, Ralph is yours not mine. You Love him much more than I do. I thank you lord that you love him. Lord have mercy. Please give me strength to through this moment.
In their difficult time his wife often sang a song which strengthen them and they continued to worship God.....
Let us sing to the Lord a new song
Sing to the Lord all the earth
Sing to the Lord
Praise His name
Proclaim His salvation day after day.... hey
Declare His glory among the nations
His marvelous deeds among all peoples
For great is the Lord
and most worthy of praise
He is to be feared above all gods
above all gods
After Ralph passed away his wife believed that now he is in heaven and he is alive, he is resting and being united with God where there is no more pain but the love of God.
One favorite song which Ralph always love to sing:
The Lord is my strength my strength
The Lord is my strength in times of trouble
The Lord is my help my help
The Lord is my help, an ever-present help
The Lord is my refuge my refuge
The Lord is my refuge and my heart is steadfast
God is my strength and my help
Only God Himself is my refuge
From this story we can see someone who deeply loved Jesus even in pain and suffering.Inspite of several burdens in his life he still could be thankful and be grateful for all His goodness. He believed that all the pain that he had gone through was because God loved him and choose him, so that he can be used for His glory and he can share to people thru his living testimony and people get strengthen in Christ, even his whole family in the end they all accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. It is real that behind all suffering even the hardest one; there is beautiful plan of God for those who love Him and God's plans are beautiful.
Last word from me, be strengthened always in the Lord Jesus Christ and be grateful and faithful in all matters, all your sufferings are just temporary. Make all that a way for God to do His great work so that you can be a living testimony where you can lead many soul to Christ.
