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

"It is finished" - Jesus Christ

Image
John 19:30 - When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. It's Good Friday again. The world pauses and recollects the events that changed the course of history. For me it was a time to reflect on the finished work of our Lord on the cross. He paid the price for my redemption. But it dawned on me that Jesus, himself, had a task to do while on this earth, He was on a mission. There was a time frame. There was a script to follow. In military terms , there was an objective he had to capture. Anything short would have been a disaster. But towards the end, in spite of the agony at Gethsemane, the unfair trail, humiliating and torturous journey via Dalarosa, Jesus cried, "It is finished". What an achievement. What a fitting eulogy.  Jesus was faithful to His mission - Hebrew 3:2 Jesus was focused on His mission - Luke 9:51 Jesus finished His mission - John 19:30  Judas towards th

What a trip to Nepal

Image
I am sitting at the airport restaurant in Kathmandu, checked in and waiting for my departure to New Delhi and from there, onward to Singapore.  Just sipping and enjoying the Americano coffee and a slice of cheese cake as I reminiscent my last nine days in Nepal. It has been a incredibly tough trip but one filled with joy, great satisfaction and challenges. Tough because of the bad roads, tracks and mountain trekking that really tested my endurance and my back was sore.  Couple of knocks on the head as the vehicle danced to the tune of the undulating terrain. Days when I had terrible diarrhoea, running from one mountain toilet to another. Thank God I had Dr Mike Ong on this trip who is a medical doctor from Singapore, who attended to my condition. Times when we had to sleep on the cold floor with thin sheets of cloth, with rodents in the vicinity. Temperatures dropped to a low of 10-12 degrees centigrde in the nights. Eating the food offered by the villagers as we were up in the mounta

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
