2019父亲节见证
我是在6月14号出世,所以我就是我爸爸的第一份父亲节礼物。很高兴能够在我爸爸的第22个父亲节与大家分享我和爸爸的故事。
从小爸爸就是我的榜样,什么东西我都要跟爸爸一样,尤其是发型。因为我爸爸是在新加坡工作,所以当时我和他是分别住在马来西亚和新加坡,所以每当知道爸爸要回家,我都会兴奋得睡不着觉,非常期盼和爸爸见面。
日子一天一天的过去,在我7岁那一年,父母的婚姻出现了问题。因着此事爸爸带给我的伤害,加上妈妈无知地在我面前,不断地讲爸爸的不是,使我开始对爸爸反感,因此我对他的态度,也显得很不耐烦,跟他对话也很不礼貌,甚至有点瞧不起他。
直到前年,Aunty Eunice和我的组长Elijah老师,说有感动要跟我谈谈关于我和爸爸之间的问题。当时经过和他们的详谈,也在圣灵的光照和感动之下,我在他们面前向神认罪,也选择重新接纳爸爸。
刚好在那段时间,我在读着一本书: 孤儿的灵与真孩子的灵。当中有提到如何得到真孩子的灵,就是要原谅别人和请求别人的原谅。有一晚,圣灵不断地催促我要求爸爸的原谅。我挣扎了很久,最后还是硬着头皮,走进了爸爸的房间。
我对爸爸说:“对不起,过去对你的态度很恶劣。你能原谅我吗?”
爸爸回答说:“傻孩子,两父子之间哪有隔夜仇?我从来也没有怪过你。”
我被他这句话深深地感动。那时候,我仿佛体会到什么是天父的爱。
我就对他说:“不如我们重新开始吧。”当下我们也互相为对方祝福祷告。
我很感动,当时爸爸竟然为我未来的婚姻祝福祷告。得到爸爸的祝福令我对婚姻开始有信心。
从那天开始,我跟爸爸的关系开始有了突破。现在我在当兵,每次回兵营前,爸爸都会摸摸我的头,再说:“上帝祝福你”。
从我爸爸的身上,我看见天父的爱,也体会到有爸爸的祝福是很不一样的。 感谢神,这就是我和我爸爸的故事。祝所有的爸爸们,父亲节喜乐蒙福!
Father’s Day Testimony
John Ng
I was born on 14th of June, therefore, I am my father’s 1st Father’s day gift. I’m glad that I can share the story of me and my father on his 22nd Father’s Day.
My father has been my role model since I was a kid. Whatever I do, I wanted to be like him. Especially my hair style. My father works in Singapore while the rest of my family stays in Malaysia. I would get very excited whenever I learned that my father will be coming back to Malaysia.
The years went by. When I was 7, my parents had a problem with their marriage. The same year, I was hurt by my father over a small matter. In addition to this hurt, my mother bad-mouthed about my father. This caused me to dislike my father even more. I started looking down on my father, behaved rudely towards him, and would lose my patience towards him easily.
Until 2 years ago, Aunty Eunice and my cell leader, Tr. Elijah, had a prompting to talk to me regarding my relationship with my father. After talking with them, under the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I repented before God, and chose to accept my father again.
It so happened during that time, was reading a book called Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship. In that book, it mentions that to receive the Spirit of Sonship, we must release forgiveness and ask for others’ forgiveness. One night, the Holy Spirit kept prompting me to seek my father’s forgiveness. After struggling for some time, I went into my father’s room.
I told my father, “I’m sorry. I have been very rude to you. Will you forgive me?”
He replied, “Don’t be silly, There’s no grudge between father and son. I have never blamed you.”
His words really touched my heart. At that moment, I realize the love of the Heavenly Father.
I replied, “Why not we start over again.” Then we prayed for one another.
I was touched that my father actually prayed for my future marriage. I felt hopeful about my future marriage after receiving my father’s blessing.
From that day onwards, there was breakthrough in my relationship with my father. I am currently serving the army. Before I go back to camp, my father would pat my head and say “God bless you.”
Through my father, I saw the Heavenly Father’s love, and also realized that it is different to have a father’s blessing.
Thank Lord! This is the story of me and my father. I hereby wish all the fathers a Blessed Fathers’ Day!
