I went to the church here last Sunday. I saw a man in his 50s play guitar and sing praises immersed in the grace of God prior to the sermon. It was very moving. He sang three songs and introduced himself. His testimony was the following: he had been diagnosed with an incurable disease that would take his life within six months. It was a death sentence to him. He thought to himself, ‘What should I do now in this world? I will die in six months. I must focus on my entry to heaven.’ From that time on, he constantly prayed and only praised God.

After six months, he found himself still living so made a resolution to evangelize until the day of his death. This became his testimony. As a person facing imminent death, he began going around with a guitar in his hands to speak out of his earnest heart and, to sing the songs which he composed to inspiring lyrics. Because he could have died any day, hearers accepted and believed when he said to them, “At the threshold of death, I preach to you about salvation that will last forever.”

He thought to himself, ‘Will I die this month? Will I die next month?’ But as he kept going around, evangelizing, he has lived eight more years so far. He added, “Now that I took this as the time the Lord gave me for evangelism, and I have been praising God and evangelizing, He has extended my life.” With that, he expressed his deep gratitude to God, inspiring the audience to taste the grace and fiery power of the Holy Spirit. He has written many songs, which he goes about singing.

Man changes when he is placed in an extreme situation. If you evangelize and save lives, as he does, God and the Lord will perform wonders. Everyone, if you live thinking that you were just notified about your imminent death, you would wake up even ten times more keenly and take action.
