Excerpt from "Together in Heaven" in Manna 59. At 5 am on June 21, 2007, Masneh Singkui was admitted to the emergency ward, unconscious and in critical condition. The brothers and sisters by his side immediately contacted other members to pray for him. That night, Masneh was transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu, where doctors confirmed that he was brain dead due to excessive brain hemorrhaging. Concerned members throughout Sabah and West Malaysia offered fervent prayers of intercession, and some even fasted and prayed for God to show mercy on Masneh. However, on June 23, a Sabbath day, he returned to the arms of the Lord. The grief at his passing was deeply felt by members and relatives alike. Yet, in our sorrow, we accepted that his death was according to God’s will. From a human perspective, Masneh’s passing ended a life still in its prime and left many loved ones to deal with his premature death. However, we accept the will of God with faith and thankfulness, for His will is good, pleasing, and perfect (Rom 12:2). Further, we can find comfort in Revelation 14:13: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on….that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.” God’s grace is abundant; the love that He showed to Masneh assures us of how He loves everyone in his family. We no longer have Masneh with us, but we did not lose him—he just went ahead of us and is waiting for us in heaven. We can all find hope and strength from the visions that were seen of his joy at being called back home. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom 15:13) 🔗 Read the full article, "Together in Heaven", through the link below: https://tjc.org/elib-single-item-display/?langid=1&itemid=15879&type=pub #eternalrest #heavenlypeace #TJCencouraging #uplifting #encouraging #TJC #TrueJesusChurch #真耶穌教會 #tjc.ia @tjc.ia (fb)
