MAKE A STAND FOR JESUS
By Sebastian Koren

That was the underlying message which rang distinctly across to the 600-strong people who had packed the banquet hall of One-Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur on 2 September, 2007, as they dined and listened to Gurmit Singh a.k.a Phua Chu Kang at an FGB Central Region function.

The sitcom Singapore television comedian took center-stage, smartly clad in a Sunday-best grey suit to bear witness to the audience of the all-engulfing love and awesome glory of Jesus Christ in his life.

He started off on a vibrant note declaring his stand for Jesus and to mesmerize the crowd with a heart-warming rendition of ‘This Is A Song ...’ that truly convinced every one that this servant of the Lord, besides his acting skills was blessed with the gift of singing as well.

Having established an affinity with the full-capacity audience, Gurmit proceeded with his testimony of the love, power and majesty of the Almighty God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Without mincing his words, the Holy Spirit impacted him to tell how he came to the Lord in 1985 at a Reihard Bonke’s healing rally in Singapore. He also related how his stage four cancer-stricken mother was delivered from a six-month death sentence prophesied by a local doctor to a sixteen-year extension of healthy life from the healer Jesus Christ. Alleluia!

‘ASK and ye shall receive...’ (Mat. 7:7) was the mustard seed faith that this young lad of nineteen had when he earnestly implored the Lord to let his mother live long enough to see her grandchildren. At the material time Gurmit was a bachelor with yet a girlfriend in the horizon. God, from His inner temple, heard him and answered his request. Sixteen years later, Gurmit’s mother, after having seen her grandchildren, left for her heavenly abode.

Gurmit Singh, standing by the Grace of God, also mentioned how in his walk as a Christian, he had reserved Sunday solely for work of the Lord: church, charity and family and not for earning money.

Making a stand for Jesus has enabled him to be more focused and streamlined for the desired impetus in life. He concluded with a song entitled ‘That’s What My Father Would Do’. Amen!

The function drew about 40 people who wanted to be prayed over during the altar call. Praise the Lord!.
