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

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You… — Psalm 63:1 This morning I woke up early. The time difference is still taking its toll on me. At 4:15 AM Singapore time, 9:15 AM back home, I was wide awake. It was still dark outside, but rather than remain in bed, I decided to take a walk after my quiet time. Perhaps all the heavy and delicious food I've been enjoying is also giving me another reason to walk! 😊 The streets surprised me. It was only 5 AM, yet there was already considerable activity. Some shops were open and people were moving around, The traffic was light, although the occasional vehicle made quite a noise. Bu then something caught my attention. Loudspeakers began calling people to prayer, as it always does in a Muslim country. As I walked past some of the shops, I was surprised to see  young men kneeling down and praying at 5 AM in the morning.  I saw this in several places. I stood there thinking. We might describe some of what I saw a...

This morning I had the privilege of sharing the Word for the staff at this hospital in Menouf during their chapel service. This is a small town about 100 km NE of Cairo. This is a Christian Hospital with about 250 staff. Mist of the patients are Muslim and God is using the hospital to reach the community.  I spoke on Matthew 5:19 -  In the same way, let your light shine before others,  that they may see your good deeds  and glorify  your Father in heaven. I was humbled by the fact that many sitting there were surgeons, doctors and  high qualified professions. I asked the same question as David did in 2 Samuel 7:18 -  “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?” To God be the glory

"A re not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."—  Luke 12:6–7 There are some words of Jesus that are comforting because they are gentle. There are others that are comforting because they remind us of who God is. And then there are words like these, words that speak directly into our fears. Jesus was speaking to His disciples at a time when following Him would not necessarily be easy or safe. He was preparing them for opposition, rejection and persecution. Earlier in the passage, Jesus warns them: "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."  (Luke 12:1) He then tells them that they should not be afraid of those who can kill the body but cannot do anything more. "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more."  (Luke 12:4) Instead: "Fear him who, after your b...

I’m back at Changi Airport again, this time, I’m heading to Cairo for a conference. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of making some wonderful friends there, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them again, reconnecting, and sharing what God has in store for this time together. Grateful for another opportunity to travel, serve, and build relationships for the Kingdom. ✈️🙏

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Greetings in the blessed name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. One of the greatest challenges facing many rural villages in India is the lack of access to clean and safe drinking water. Every day, women and children walk long distances to fetch water for drinking, cooking, and their daily needs. During the hot summer months, many wells and water sources dry up, making this struggle even more severe. Access to clean water is more than a convenience—it is a basic necessity of life. A single borewell can transform an entire village. It provides a reliable source of clean drinking water, improves the health of families, reduces waterborne diseases, allows children to spend more time in school instead of collecting water, and brings hope and dignity to the entire community. Many of our pastors serving in remote villages regularly appeal for help to provide borewells for their communities. We are unable to meet every request, and many villages conti...

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." – Galatians 6:2   Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,   Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.   Assam is once again experiencing devastating floods, affecting thousands of families across many districts. Homes have been submerged, crops destroyed, livestock lost, and countless people have been displaced.          Many families have been left with nothing and are struggling to obtain food, clean drinking water, clothing, and other basic necessities.         As followers of Christ, we are called to demonstrate God's love through practical acts of compassion.
