"I know that you (God) can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2 NIV
Testimony - International Healing Evangelist - Bishop Salamat Khokhar
Childhood:
I was born in 1964 at a remote village of Punjab - Pakistan . My father
was a farmer (agricultural laborer) for Muslim landlords. I am part of
a big family, as I have 6 sisters and I am the only son in my family.
My parents never been to any school and I am the only child in family
who attended school.
My mother passed away in 1989 after being paralyzed for almost 6 years
and my father in December 2006. They were God fearing wonderful
Christian having great prayer life.
While I was just about 8 - 9 years old, my father became totally blind,
so the Muslim landlords dismissed him from his work. There had been no
provisions or resources for us to survive in that village. So my family
moved to Karachi , which is the biggest city of Pakistan.
We had a very tough time and several times we had no food at all and in our struggle to survive faced much discrimination.
Accepting Jesus and Calling:
I received Water Baptism in the year 1976 at the age of 12, with strong
conviction and soon after accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Savior
and Lord, different preachers started coming to my house telling me
that God wants me into ministry. In my early childhood I had decided to
become a BIG businessman so I always rejected the idea of getting into
ministry. After getting these messages I often thought that I shall
earn lot of money and will contribute to God's work through supporting
ministries and poor people.
Education and Struggles:
Despite of great struggle for survival in Karachi, I completed my MBA
degree with Marketing major to fulfil my obsession of becoming a big
businessman. Even during these years various preachers asked me to
accept the calling of ministry, as this is the will of God for my life.
I had never been willing to accept this proposal and once I said.. "why
God keep sending you all people to tell me that He wants me to get into
His ministry and why doesn't He listen when I am saying that I want to
be a businessman and not a preacher. Why doesn't He leave me alone and
find somebody else. ?" (Now, I am thankful to God that He did not do
it).
I worked at different corporations and at four places, I was dismissed
because I refused to accept Islam despite facing all kind of pressures
and charms from my employers. Finally, being disappointed of working
for others, I started my own business.
I was doing fine with my business and made good progress until 7th May
1992 - one week before my wedding, when suddenly I suffered a great
loss and my business was destroyed totally. There had been no reason
for that loss and I could feel some supernatural intervention in my
business.
For the next almost 7 years I tried everything in business. I changed
several lines of businesses and I used to run around 16 - 18 hours a
day in my quest of success. But nothing worked out at any point. My
every effort resulted in a total failure. My life turned out as total
embarrassment and even my close friends did not want to be associated
with me.
God's Persistence:
At the end of December, 1998 I searched on internet for prayer
ministries and I sent my prayer request to several prayer ministries
and prayer networks in USA.
My prayer request was that God would help me in my business.
Few days later, I received an email from one lady sister Terri E.
Hansen, who was part of one Prayer Network. In her email she wrote:
"Salamat, you are on the wrong track. Why don't you do what God wants
you to do? " I did not answer this email and trashed it. We never knew
each other, never talked before, but, I knew what she was talking about.
After 40 days sister Terri E. Hansen wrote to me another email saying "
Salamat, you are suffering a lot, isn't that suffering enough for you?
Do you wants to go deeper into your troubles? Why don't you accept the
will of God for your life and do what God wants you to do?." This time
I replied to her and asked, "sister, what are you trying to tell me?
Her answer was, "Salamat don't be ignorant. Don't you know that God has
been calling you for His ministry for over 22 years? (On 18th July,
2003 in her early 40's Sister Terri E. Hansen, the wonderful servant of
God went to be with the Lord. She meant a lot for me. I regard her as
my spiritual mother. We miss her very much but, I am glad that she is
in the best place).
Total Surrender and Ministry:
I surrendered myself for the ministry in December 1998.
After the completion of my 7 years period of trials and difficulties,
God sent Brother James Bartie - A South African man of God, who
dedicated me and my wife Cecilia for the ministry on 8th May, 1999 . He
prophesied great things for me including international healing and
miracles ministry. I received the anointing of healing and miracles
from God through the laying on of hands of Brother James Bartie. He
prophesied and said, "God says, I am taking fear out of you. People of
Pakistan depend on white skinned foreigners that they would come and
heal them and bless them, but God says I am doing something new in
Pakistan. I am raising a man in Pakistan who will go to the nations of
the world and people would be healed and blessed. He said, Salamat -
you will be a great Crusades speaker."
God uses me greatly with Healing, Miracles, Signs and Wonders for His own glory. We have
planted over 100 churches in Pakistan in five years. I travel most of
the time wherever I am invited in Pakistan and Internationally. I wish
to reach the whole world with the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ and with
His mercy to heal the suffering. I welcome International Speaking
Engagements.
