I came home after a long day wanting to rest the moment i got home. After entertaining some guests we had at home, i felt led to spend some time with my grandfather. He doesn’t stay with us due to the divorce with my grandparents undergone. But having gone through a surgery, he’s been staying with us so we can provide him with proper care.

As i entered the room, i decided to play with the piano in the name of fun, to entertain and talk to him abit in the meantime. But i felt lead to stay and try to minister him in simple songs i knew how to play on the piano ( i cant play for nuts )haha. but he kept insisting i played. As i was playing, he suddenly asked me to pray for him cos he was in a lot of pain due to the surgery. I didn’t hear him clearly the first time so he asked again, of course i willingly agreed. My grandfather backslided from his faith so him asking me to pray for him meant a lot. As i prayed, such a faith arised in me. He kept claiming the healing and even called out to Jesus in desperation, and praying in tongues!

My aunty and brother came in to attend to him. As they left the room, he kept insisting i continued playing songs for him, so as i played i kept praying for the little i have to minister to him. and at that moment, his tears flowed out uncontrollably. The presence of God was in our midst and he started to pour out his heart and concerns to me. Ending off with asking me to pray for him before i go to school everyday. He said that the pain was a lot lesser, and God answered his prayer.

I stood amazed at how God moved my grandfather. I believe that in this season, he is drawing nearer to God. ( especially w the help of my ipod playing christian songs for him over the speaker in his room HAHA ). I guess im slowly learning the importance of taking out time to spend some quality time with family members. Stepping out from my comfort zone and doing an act of love by just spending time and praying for my grandfather gave me another story to tell, another reason to praise God for his faithfulness:)
