81. Mei Mei – A domestic helper prevented from committing suicide
Name: Mei Mei
Date: July/August 08
Location: Singapore
Note: This is a sequence to testimony 79 & 80
Yesterday, we shared about how Sister Mei Mei started experiencing the leading of the Holy Spirit. She also started to experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
One day, while she was in her kitchen doing her chores, the Holy Spirit suddenly spoke to her to look up. She looked up out of the window to the park below. As she has poor eyesight, she had to strain her eyes to see what the Holy Spirit was drawing her attention to.
She saw someone under a tree but as it wasn’t clear, she asked her husband help her see. Her husband Kevin saw a domestic helper holding a knife at her wrist. She was trying to cut herself in an attempt to commit suicide.
They hurried down immediately. When the person saw them approaching, she threw away the knife. Sister Mei Mei asked the woman what was wrong. She explained that her mother had passed away in the Philippines but the employer did not allow her to go home until a week later. She had to go home immediately to help settle the funeral matters and to see her mother for the last time. She was also concerned that if she went home, she would lose her job. She was so troubled that she wanted to take her life.
Sister Mei Mei offered to pray with her and she agreed. Then suddenly, the Holy Spirit told Mei Mei that the employer had just returned. The woman said it was not possible because the employer doesn’t return home at that hour. True enough, the employer walked towards them and was angry that the woman was talking to Mei Mei.
Mei Mei prayed to the Lord that he would not scold the woman. She was already in a pitiful state. Suddenly his countenance changed for the better, and they went back to the house.
The Lord had heard the prayer and intervened miraculously through the circumstances. The following day, Mei Mei received an SMS from the lady that the employer had bought a ticket for her to return home the same day. Her desire was granted.
Then later, she also sent another SMS telling Mei Mei that her relative had an opening for another job opportunity in Italy and she would not be returning to Singapore. Mei Mei was joyful to receive the good news [during our meeting, she showed me the two SMSs].
I was amazed that God had so much love for the lady that though she was alone in her darkest moments, God intervened. She wasn’t alone because God was with her. Though her life was worth nothing to her, it was worth a lot to Jesus. God sent a willing vessel to intervene to avert the potential disaster. And God turned things around miraculously. All glory be to Jesus.
