God’s kindness and goodness to a corona virus pastor.
I have been trying to post a testimony from a pastor in N.Ireland who was in Intensive Care. (We have heard of three pastors here who’ve been in the ICU, two are home now).
This brother was very ill and as he said no one is allowed onto the isolation ward, no family, no pastor, no-one. He was struggling for his life and he asked God to send help, to encourage him. A hospital cleaner came by and talked to him and eventually prayed for him from the door of the ward, asking God to save him and use him. That cleaner had been a missionary in Nigeria and led many people to the Lord. We have a friend who is a friend of the cleaner, so this is definitely someone known here. After the cleaner had finished praying he kept walking past the corridor window to the ward and giving him the thumbs up, encouraging the pastor.
The pastor ‘turned the corner’ that night and began to feel stronger. He asked the Lord if there was any way that he could get him a ‘packet of Tayto prawn cocktail crisps and a can of coke’. The next morning the cleaner arrived back in his ward with a bag, a gift from the Lord. In the bag were two oranges, a packet of prawn cocktail crisps and a can of coke. God answered his prayers exactly, even when no-one could seemingly get to him.
God is kind and good, He cares for us, even the smallest details and He reaches down to help us. The pastor knew who to call to in his hour of greatest trial and the Almighty God answered him.
May our hearts be encouraged today; I believe we will hear more testimonies of God’s goodness in the days to come.
