In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

I landed earlier today at Changi from Chennai. The weather was quite bad, that the pilot had to overshoot the runway and go round again. But we landed safely in the second attempt. Went back home, visited my mom, came back and packed my bags and again and here at Terminal 2. Looks like I am "living off my suitcase". This time to the Vatican City for an important training for leaders. I am very much looking froward to this trip, especially to meet people of the same vision and passion. Long flight, 15 hrs in all. Still have not caught up with my sleep. Hopefully will have sufficient rest on this flight. Psalms 46:1 -  God is our refuge   and strength,  an ever-present   help  in trouble.

  I am back at Chennai Airport, waiting for my departure to Singapore. All arrangements have been made to fly Jenima back to Jaigaon by air. The funeral has been arranged for Sunday afternoon. I have asked Bishop Nehemiah and Bishop Thomas to conduct the funeral service. I am specially thankful to our pastors in PEC India who rallied support to help Bishop Samuel's family.  They don't have much, but whatever resources they could get, they chipped in to help. I was deeply moved. Bishop Thomas, his wife Kala and Seegan were simply beyond description. They stayed in the hospital for few days without sleep until Kala fell sick and had to go back. Thomas is still there, sorting out all the administration papers. Now Kala and Seegan are on their way to CMC after hearing the death of Jenima. Really blessed to see how all PEC pastors in India came together to help in this difficult times. No words to describe❤️❤️ I also thank God for Haggai alumni in CMC Vellore. They helped to waive o

I arrived Chennai Airport just after midnight. Bishop Thomas and his wife Kala were at the airport to pick me up. It took us three and half hours to reach Vellore. It was raining heavily along the way.  After a short rest in the hotel, I went to CMC Vellore. The hospital was crowded with so many people. Bishop Samuel Sharma and his daughter Affrin were there at the ICU, both overwhelmed with grief. I did my best to console them . Jenima was on life support and looked very frail. She was in a state of coma. I was heart broken at the sight. I also called  Abishek and comforted him.  We had a discussion with the senior consultant of the ICU, Dr Thomas. Dr Thomas took the time to explain the condition of Jenima. Her condition has deteriorated and most of her organs have failed. After careful consideration, the family painfully  decided to remove the life  support and leave the rest to the Lord. Jenima had suffered enough and its best not to put her through more. I prayed and committed her

I am sitting at the waiting lounge in Terminal 2, Changi Airport. My flight departs in an hour. This is a last minute trip, one that I don’t look forward to. This morning Bishop Thomas updated me that Bishop Samuel’s wife’s condition has turned for the worst. Jemina has been in CMC Vellore for the last  3 weeks to seek treatment for her Lupas condition. However her condition has worsened. Bishop Samuel has been terribly distraught and weeping relentlessly. Bishop Thomas and his wife Kala have been doing all they can to help them. I am told that all her organs have failed and that she is on life support machine. Jeya and I have known Sis Jemina since 2010. She is a powerful worship leader and has such a great passion for the Lord. Both she and her husband, Bishop Samuel, have made so many sacrifices for the kingdom. Jenima just cannot keep still. She is either in the kitchen cooking or speaking to the Bible School students and all of a sudden leads in worship. It’s always a joy to see h

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20  When faced with life's challenges, it is easy to think that for God to act powerfully in our lives, we need great faith. We might feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of our problems and wonder if our faith is large enough for God to work. In the Bible, we see remarkable miracles—such as mountains being moved, the sick healed, and broken lives restored—and we often believe that we need this kind of great faith to experience such wonders. But Jesus speaks a radical truth that turns our understanding upside down. In Matthew 17:20 , He tells us that even faith as small as a mustard seed is enough for God to do the impossible. What does this mean for us, and how does it change the way we approach our relationship with God? A mustard seed is minuscule—nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. And yet, Jesus declares tha

  This evening I was at Abundant Life Family Church. It's always a joy to share the Word here. Senior Pastor Allan Ang is like a mentor to me and at his age, he is still active serving the Lord. He is a great inspiration. It was also good to meet Pst Lydia and her husband. Amazing people. I spoke on the topic "To live is to die". A very difficult and seems controversial  but this is the core of Christian Discipleship. Many were blessed and so was I. After the service had to rush to work for night service. It's always a joy to serviette Lord with likeminded people.
