Two Korean Christian Musicians came to HGC and shared their testimonies and music.
The Lord's awesome presence came down and touched many lives.
Bro Goh age 44 - Saxophonist for Jesus
He comes from a poor family and was a non Christian.
At 14 he was playing saxophone in night clubs.
In God’s goodness he married a Christian wife and had a son.
A tragedy struck him when he was 35. He found himself bleeding through his nose and passing out blood. Within a month he went down from 70 kg to 48 kg. Upon admission into a hospital he went down to 38 kg after another 15 days. In that lowest moment of his life he attempted suicide but was not successful. He went home to see his wife and was confronted by the cross that hung on the wall. At that point God reminded him that when he was 14 he has made a commitment to God that he will serve Him. He immediately responded to God by going into the street to play his saxophone for Jesus. That same week he went to church and he was still bleeding. The next week he went to church and his bleeding stopped and he was able to pass motion. From then on he kept recovering and till this day he has not been on medication. The Lord miraculously healed him. Even now the doctors have told him that he cannot play saxophone. But with God’s help he has been playing beautiful music all over the places to glorify Jesus. This year he has conducted 160 concerts.
He shared that he regretted not serving God earlier.
He shared that when he was healthy he did not serve God and now in such a state he is serving God.
On that I shared that when he was strong and healthy he didn’t need God.
Now that he needed God, God can use him.
God will not use self sufficient, self confident and unbroken vessels.
Now that he is weak, God can be strong through him.
Goh felt such deep gratitude to God. He expressed that he desired to kneel before God more since he can’t kneel according to the doctors.
I was very touch when he shared that if God don’t bless him, he will still serve God.
He will serve God not because God will bless him.
He will serve God because he is so thankful to God for what He has already done for him in giving him Jesus!
Goh’s theme verse is Acts 20:23-24
(Act 20:23 NKJV) except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
(Act 20:24 NKJV) But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
When Goh played in church today the anointing of the Holy Spirit was released in a powerful and gentle way. Many lives were touch and many were shedding tears of comfort through the music and songs.
A final word from Goh is …God is the living God! He is so real!
Lino Pak – Drummer for Jesus
Lino is 28 years old and is Korea's number 1 drummer.
He played drums on TV shows.
He currently is the CEO of an entertainment co.
He manages many Korean musical celebrities.
He started playing drums at 8.
When he was 20 he was offered to play in Europe’s top rock band at a great renumeration.
However after praying at the prayer mountain, the Lord told him to reject the offer. He obeyed and gave up the offer. Following that he fell into many trials and the worst of it was that he went blind. He was not able to see for 8 months. He had no other help but to seek God and humbled himself and emptied himself before God. He stood firm in his faith in God and despite having severe pain in many parts of his body he offered his drum skills to the Lord. He now devotes much of his time to music in Youth Ministry.
His anointed drum playing has touched and set free many young people.
When Lino played in church today many felt a tremendous anointing released.
A sister was trembling all over being anointed by the Holy Spirit. Another sister felt the anointing and was stirred to dance before the Lord.
Lino played with such great intensity.
We can see that he gave his best, his all, with all his heart to glorify Jesus.
It’s a powerful testimony that the BEST MUSICIANS find worshipping God with their best, with all their hearts, the MOST FULFILLING, SATISFYING AND MEANINGFUL pursuit in life!
ALL GLORY TO JESUS OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOUR!
