HI Penang National Seminar

I had two days of facilitation at the HI National Seminar in Penang. 18 participants were there time time.It was another refreshing experience  in teaching about the Biblical Mandate and my experience in the ministry.

I could see God impacting the participants they sat through the sessions. Praying that God will do a permeant work in the lives of these participants.

Another man of God goes home to eternity.

Bro Tangavelu went Home to Gloryon 25 Aug 16. He was 86 yrs old.

Because of Bro Tangavelu's funeral, I had to reschedule the sessions and took an early flight back to Singapore. Could see God's intervention in all the arrangement. I arrived just in time before the service started in PEC.

The church service was conducted by Bro Babu James and the church board. It was so encouraging to see how the board and the members worked hand in hand to organise the whole funeral arrangements. I was really amazed at the way it was done. It was seamless and done professionally. Thanks to Jesus for making it look seamless.  glory to God.


I shared a few thoughts and the scripture at the Mandai crematorium and conduced the service. Bro Tangavelu was a man whose life was transformed after he became a christian. He was a testimony to 2 Cor 5:17. I knew how his life was before and after he became a christian. Those days we used to I've at Blk 23, Madras Road, Naval Base. After he became a christian, he was always wth the Bible. He worked very hard and raised his children well. Sadly one backslided.  He always wanted to attend church in spite of the fact that he was not well. His thoughts were always for his children and grandchildren. We celebrate his legacy and what God has done though his life.

"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
