Maui - 13-20 Apr 10

It has been an amazing week in Maui. When I left from Singapore I was having a bad flu. It persisted during the first few days but God's grace was sufficient. Things improved from the second day onwards. All Glory to God.

43 participants from 21 different countries attended this session. It was indeed an honour and privilege to facilitate on the subject Biblical Mandate for Evangelism. God is good and the Spirit of God ministered to all the participants. In some sessions the men were so overwhelmed by God's spirit that they simply wept in God' s presence. Some of the participants have amazing testimonies of God's love and compassion. Some have gone through unbearable tragedies yet their love for God is unshaken. Many have been challenged with the Great commission and are just waiting to get back to their countries to win their nations for Christ.

Many came for personal counselling and prayer. Praise God for touching them.


On Sunday we visited Nestor's church with Apostle Mitledos from Malawi and Rev Leonid from Belarus. Great men of God with a powerful anointing. We enjoyed the service.

It was a joy to meet up with Larry and Vel. Great people with a tender heart for the Lord. May God bless their future endeavors as they plan to move in God's direction. I will always cherish their love and fellowship. It was an honour to address the volunteers during their devotion. These are amazing people who serve the Lord with such humility. My message to them was that they are indeed the true "apostles", living the live of Christ here on earth.

I am simply humbled by the way God has led me thus far in Haggai. I can only share the words of the psalmist in Psalms 40:2 : He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

Special thanks to all who remembered me in their prayers. God bless you.

    Dear Rama,
    Thank you for your powerful devotions for the volunteers - they are still talking about it! And it was certainly a pleasure to spedn time with you again, sharing our hearts as we seek God's will for our lives. Our "ice cream conversations" are very sweet - in more ways than one.
    May the Lord continue to bless you as you serve Him and we will see you in Spore one of these days.
    Val and Larry

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Image
Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u...

25th Wedding Annivesary - Silver Jubilee

Image
11-1-11 - 25th Wedding Anniversary. Today my wife and I celebrate our Silver Jubilee, 25 years of being married together. How time flies. I look out of the window, the weather reminiscent of the day we got married. It was raining the whole day and so is today. How appropriate. Praise God for His faithfulness in our lives and for the blessings He has given us. Lam 3:22-23 - Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. It has been a wonderful journey. Yes there were disagreements, quarrels, desperation and even "fights" but through it all, our love has grown stronger for the Lord , for the family, for the ministry and for one another. Jeya has been the magnet that holds our family together. Almost three months in a year I am out of country for ministry and kids busy in school. But she has always been the inventory holder that keeps reminding of the things that needs to be done an...
