Rejecting the Money?
My Concern

I worked in the Thai Good News Centre about 20 years ago. One morning, a woman came to the Centre and asked for medical treatment.

I was astonished and told her that I was no a doctor. She said that she was sick. She went to see doctor and spent much money. She was almost broke and she was still not healed. She said that she went back to Bangkok and her friend asked her to look for Teacher David who could heal her.

I explained to her that I was not a doctor. We were a Christian organisation that helped the Thai community in Singapore. I told her that we prayed for those who came and asked for help. Those people who were healed by God and not by us.

I told her that we could pray for her if she believed that Jesus could heal her. I also told her that I had to wait for my co-workers to come before assisting her. She did not believe in Jesus and she could not wait. Hence, I rejected to help her.

I was upset by reading some of the molest cases reported in the press.
If you are sick, go and consult a doctor. What is the object to look for a masseuse?
When people were driving out the evil spirit by prayer, nobody could molest the one who was possessed.
While I was reading the news on the death of Michael Jackson, I was annoyed by the news of confession. The boy who accused Michael Jackson molested him admitted it was his father's idea. His father wanted to make money from the lawsuit.
Those were the ugly greedy people. They had no sense of shame.

Before carrying on the healing therapy for two friends who suffered from stroke, I showed them the model of human body. I explained to them what I would be doing. Although they were men, I still let them know that which parts of their body I would touch on.

I was requested by a few persons to do massage for them at home.
I told them that I was not a masseuse. That was not my line.
Some of them said that the patient was their close relatives and they would pay me. I said that I did not make that type of money.

I ever carried out massage for my parents, relatives, close friends and my wife. I did that the most for my son since he was a baby. Other than those persons, I only did it for some of the patient in the hospitals, some elders in the home and daycare centres.

I have provided massage service for the elders at the daycare centres for almost two years. Some of them told me that they kept counting the days and knew that when I would be there. Some of them told me that their pain had gone and they could rise up the hands. When I saw them began to put on a smiling face, I was pleased. I used my hands to help them to release their physical illness. I listened to their stories with patience and brought them joy.

I wished to be a doctor when I was young. But I did not have an opportunity to study medical science in university. I thanked God for giving me the skills in massage therapy. It helped to release the physical pain for people. I thanked God for teaching me to love people as myself. It made me in listening to people with all my heart. God is Good.
