Life story 2
“Little did I know that God had arranged a special appointment for me”

In February of 2003, I started experiencing pain on my right knee whilst running. At first I ignored it, but by May I could not run anymore. By June I had to use the wheelchair or crutches wherever I went.

I saw more than six doctors but there was no improvement. My orthopaedic surgeon told me that if my condition did not improvement. My orthopaedic surgeon told me that if my condition did not improve an operation on the knee would be needed. However, there would be a high chance of relapse even after the operation.

I started going for physiotherapy. I was also dependent on painkillers and could not stand, jump or move freely. Soon I become confined to a wheelchair. I felt so boxed in by my condition. It was miserable.

In July, my mum asked me to accompany her to Pastor Peter Chu’s healing service at City Harvest Church. Little did I know that God had arranged a special appointment for me.

After the service, Pastor Chu laid hands and prayed for me. I then bent my knees and to my utter surprise, I could do a full stretch! I was so excited. I began to walk without any support and soon I was running around the church auditorium and jumping enthusiastically! I went up and down many flights of stairs with no pain at all- for the first time in five months. Praise the Lord!

I went to the doctor three days after the miracle and he said that I had a ‘surprising recovery’. But I knew better God had healed me.

Praise the Lord for doing exceedingly above and beyond what I could imagine. It was truly a wonderful miracle and I want to give all glory and honour to Jesus Christ.
