Celebrating mothers' day - A special indeed

This morning we celebrated mothers' day in PEC and what a special service it was. The church was filled again. We had some new ones as well. 

The Spirit of God took her as we began to worship.  The youths and the Sunday School put up a special item to remember the others.

Today we had Rev Patrick Lau, former General Superintendent  of AOG as our special speaker. It was the appropriate message for the season as he shared from Mat 15:21-28. The message of entitled, "The mother's love knows no bounds". Many people responded in tears at the alter. It was awesome sight to behold as the Spirit of the Lord began to minster especially the mothers in need.

I realised after one year, God has not left this church as orphans. Let year we were stranded, left to manage on our own.  When we are within the spectrum of His will, any deviations or miscalculations of the journey will be eventually readjusted and  realigned by the Holy Spirit, to ultimately fulfil God's original destiny planAll things work for good".

This year, we are family and busting at the seams. In fact He took us by our hands and led us through the wilderness. "I will never leave you nor forsake you".  What blessed assurance.



Watching from the back I realised it time to start the second morning service.



Pst Lau also prayed a prayer of dedication for the new church board as we take one another year of service. To God be the Glory.


Special mothers' day lunch. A treat for all mothers as the men from the church board did the honours of serving.




The day was not over as I remembered the two special mothers in our homes. God is bring our families back again. I praise God for all the mothers in the picture. God is so good. He is doing a marvellous work in my life and in PEC. My mum and my wife, the wind beneath my wings. Simply humbled.

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...
