I have just received a phone call from my mother who enthusiastically and tearfully relayed a story she had just heard that happened in her home town in Paraguay.
My grandpa, my moms dad was a Baptist minister. He passed away when I was a young child.
Turns out this week 2 of my uncles my moms brothers were visited by an old neighbour they once had when my grandpa was alive. My grandpa used to always tell this neighbour that he needed to repent and accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, but this neighbour never responded. It was this same neighbour that enthusiastically and frantically visited my uncles and told this story.
He was taking a walk when he ran into "Timoteo Kowalzuk" who proceeded to hug him and tell him once again how he needed Jesus! The man replied that I am still young and to which "my grandpa" replied "no, Jesus is coming back soon and you need to repent right now"
Only after walking on did this man realize that my grandpa has been dead for many years! He then proceeded to my uncles house in which my uncles face dropped in shock and was speechless so this man proceeded to another town to locate my other uncle. It had been so long since they had seen each other that it took some time to recognize who was standing in front of them. That is when this man once again shared his story of the fact that "Timoteo" was real and even hugged him and how could this be?
The answer my uncle gave was the fact that even after so many years of his death, God is still honouring the prayers uttered on his behalf by his father and how much God does love him to pursue him in such a way!
Wow, makes me amazed at what God will do even after we have stopped praying. There truly is a right time and place for everything that happens under the heavens.
