Usually look at life as good as it goes

Wu Qixian had a painful childhood. When he was eight years old, his biological mother passed away, and in his growing days, his father would only scold his children, so he did not feel love since he was a child. In his early years, he knew many friends with complicated backgrounds, drug addicts, gambling money, and all kinds of bad habits, but in retrospect, he found that God had always favored him, “God gave me a kind heart, I said no to marijuana, no to ecstasy, and rejected many bad things. 」

Two miraculous healing experiences

The year 2007 was a turning point in his life. One day that year, he was in Beijing and suddenly received a call from his wife from Taipei, when the baby, who was only a few months old, suddenly cramped for no reason, did not respond, and was sent to the hospital for rescue.
Due to the weather, he could not immediately take a flight back to Taiwan, but in Beijing, he remembered a Christian friend, whose wife prayed for his daughter, and some Christian friends in Taiwan prayed at the same time, and then the daughter miraculously woke up. The cause is still a mystery to this day, how can it be recovered? The doctor couldn’t explain. After this incident, Wu Qixian and his wife began to know God.

Isaiah 53:5 — By his punishment we have peace, and by his stripes, we are healed.

A few years later, he experienced another miraculous healing, but this time he was praying for others. Once, after a performance in Singapore, he had a gathering with a few brothers, during which an old classmate called for help, and his four-year-old nephew was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment due to a bacterial invasion of his lungs. The other party knew that Wu Qixian had become a Christian, so he wanted to ask him to pray for his nephew. Wu Qixian immediately rushed to the hospital, when the child’s throat was full of throats, his head was badly swollen, and his family was heartbroken. He knelt beside his bedside and prayed to Jesus, while some Christian friends were praying outside. “I didn’t have a lot of confidence at the time, I just felt like I was going to do what I had to do. Later, the child miraculously recovered, was out of danger, and was discharged from the hospital after a week or two.

Quitting 20 years of smoking

When asked what changes he had made since his conversion, Wu immediately talked about the miracle of quitting smoking. He had a 20-year addiction to smoking, smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, and tried to quit but failed every time. One day, when a brother urged him to pray for quitting smoking, he listened and did so. “I stayed in the hotel alone that night, and I dropped all my cigarettes in the trash and didn’t look at them all night. He never touched a cigarette again, he lived alone in Beijing, and it was supposed to be very tempting, but he never thought about smoking again, and he still hasn’t. He emphasized that in the process of quitting smoking, “there is no pain, no uncomfortable feeling. He said it was the greatest miracle that had ever happened to him.

Faith also changed his relationship with his wife, and the Bible helped them resolve their conflicts. Personal values have also changed, in the past, I would spend all day drinking with my friends to relieve my boredom, and I would take a look at beautiful women when I saw them, but now I just bless them in my heart, and I don’t have the mentality of keeping them for myself.

Artists must have faith in evangelism

There are many opportunities for Christian entertainers to preach the gospel, and Wu Qixian said that he has no specific plans to serve the Lord, but many churches indeed invite him to testify, and he will ask his friends how to choose, and if time permits, he is happy to bear witness for the Lord. Most of the songs he writes now have gospel content, and he plans to release them at his own expense, but he has not yet released them. “I want to do the biggest publicity in all of Asia. He said that businesses don’t usually bear the big bills for the Gospel albums and that he is now praying that if it is God’s will, it will be done. “If it succeeds, it can influence other artists to do the same thing, and evangelism is not a one-person business, but everyone has to do it together. 」

On August 9, 2014, Wu Qixian witnessed in Shenzhen

He has seen a transformation in the entertainment industry in recent years, and many artists will publicly thank the Lord, which was rare before. But if artists want to preach the gospel, they also need to have faith, and he hopes that artists will not be afraid that evangelism will affect their future. He once held a commercial concert in Hong Kong with Tai Zhengxiao, although it was not a gospel meeting, at the press conference, he explained that he invited the pastor (Lin Enoch) to the stage as a guest, and he was not afraid that the false god worshippers would not come to the audience, and the audience was full. “We also talked about the feeling of believing in Christ at the concert, don’t be afraid, you must have faith, Jesus is the greatest. However, I have also experienced the ups and downs of life, crossed many hurdles, and thought that I was lucky because I had friends to help me, but now when I look back, I realize that there is no such thing as a coincidence, and I believe that the hand of the Lord Jesus has always held him.

“All things are God’s goodwill, and God thinks that he should give you a good wind, so he will give you a good wind; God thinks that he should teach you a lesson against the wind, so he gives you a headwind and tells you to fall because if you don’t fall, you don’t know how to get up. So in fact, I have been under God’s teaching, today I look at things with a normal heart, and I have done it successfully, thank the Lord, and if I don’t succeed, I thank the Lord, there must be your (Lord) meaning. 」

God’s headwinds make the proud humble before them. At the miracle concert, Wu Qixian asked the audience, “Am I sharp?” He said that he used to think that he was so sharp that he could compose without learning music, and he could sing without learning to sing, and all his CDs have sold a total of 6 million copies so far. “I used to think I was too sharp, you were too ordinary. He confessed that he used to be proud and arrogant, but after he came to faith, he realized that everything was God’s grace, including musical talent and opportunity, and now he knows that he is very small.
