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

Had a great time in HighPointe LIFE church in Kalng. Spoke on the Incomparable Love of Christ. It was great to meet good friends and partners in the ministry. Once again Pst Mohan and family had been great hosts. Simply blessed. On my way back to Singapore.  Hard to fine such hospitable people like them.

I am seated at the departure lounge of T4 waiting for my flight to KL. Sunday morning I am sharing at HighPointe LIFE church, formerly known as BethanyLIFE. Looking forward to seeing Pst Stephen Chandra Mohan and family and old friends. Thy have been our mission partners and people with a passion for the Lord.

By the grace of God we were able to rise money to purchase the land. Now we have to rise funds to put up a building. Temporary house where the kids are living The building is estimated to cost about $40,000. Looks like a insurmountable task. But I have learnt that if the project is in accordance with God's plans. the funds will come in. Land  for the building purchased I am trusting the Lord to bring in the resources. More than 30 children will benefit from this home in Tanya, Northern Shan State. Some are orphans and many from single parents from the Wa region. They would have ended up as drug peddlers or in some organized crime, if not for this home. Now they  will be the future pastors, missionaries and leaders of their nation. You can be a part of this great vision. If you are led, please contact me. Blessings. Khaw Shin and Martha who are taking care of the children

Pst Mates and his wife were there again at Manila airport to see me, even though it was for a short while. In spite of the awful traffic situation and the threatening bad weather, they still came to the airport, even though the meeting was only 16 minutes. They brought so many gifts from themselves and other friends.  I am blessed with so many loving saints in the world. Its God's love that brings us together. Thank you Jesus

I am seated at the departure lounge at Honolulu, waiting for my connection to Singapore via Manila. It had been a glorious week at the Mid Pacific Centre at Maui. The participants this time were younger, highly qualified, many professionals in distinguished careers and extremely intelligent. Their way of learning is so different from the previous batches, who were comfortable with the one way instructional approach. These group, the millennials want more discussions, and activity based learning. They are more engaging and very responsive to questions and discussions. Looks like for the subsequents batches, I will have to tailor my sessions to these "new way of learning".  Prof Arthur had already wanted us that this is the way the younger generations prefer to learn and to be prepared for such. Session M1066 I felt very inadequate standing infant of these men and rather troubled by their high demands. The first session was rather jittery and I had to really depend on ...

This morning we had a combined service for all the participants and volunteers. Joey spoke in the meeting on "Feeding the five thousand". Later  Nestor took Pst Daniel, the RC and me for kayaking in the ocean. It was indeed an experience. Clear water and the big blue ocean. At Nestor's insistence  did a bit of snorkeling as well. The waters were crystal clear and huge turtles were swimming near by. Jumping  into the sea after a long time. Later we had lunch at Lihana, in a  restaurant by the sea. Seethe, Joey, and Valentine joined us. We had great fellowship

Today we had the opening dinner for the 62 participants for this sessions. It was good to meet with Rev Tissa and his wife. Dr Aldo is also here as faculty and so was Bro Valentine  Davidar. I think I last met Bro Valentine in Chennai about 8 years ago.  It was such joy to be with all these men of God. Men who are humble and moved by the Great Commission.

God is good. I am seated at the waiting area for my departure to Honolulu. I departed Singapore earlier today and am in transit in Manila.  Earlier, I was met at Manila Airport by the leadership team from the Crosspoint, the Forte. It was a joy to meet Pst Fernando Mates and his dear wife Lorna and the rest of the team. They are our mission partners and they have been such a blessing. They showered me with gifts and I was really blessed. Even though we spent less than 15 minutes, it was really a heartfelt meeting of brothers and sisters in Christ. Now I am set for the departure to Honolulu and then to Maui. Looking forward to facilitating Biblical Mandate for another 60 participants from different countries. Thanking God for another opportunity and praying hat everyone of them will be impacted. 

The "40 Day Fast  and  Pray  Manual"  has been very thought  provoking. I picked up the following extract from Day 7's reading: "But the problem with many of us today, is that we want shortcuts. We claim the crown without the cross. We avoid suffering at all cost. We seek glory from one another in this present evil age. We identify with the Risen Christ on his throne. But are we willing to walk with the lowly Jesus from Gethsemane to Golgotha?" How true!! Today's Christendom is rife with prosperity,  success and good health. Very seldom we hear about suffering, sacrifice or the like. If any of the negative is mentioned , to always because something positive is about to happen.  Going on a mission trip is considered suffering for Christ. Missing a meal is considered a great sacrifice. These are the comments I hear from Christians these days. we are willing to spend big money on holidays and great meals but hardly any contributions to win ...

At the heart of unrelenting bitterness you will find a self-righteous spirit who has forgotten their own need for forgiveness and restoration. Pst Rondey Vickers I found  the  above quote on  Facebook  a true  representation of the human heart condition. I had struggled with this sometimes in the past but thank God I am free now.   Ravi Zacharias often says that no other world view describes the human heart better than the Judeo-Christian world view.  Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? This is so true about  bitterness  that we are unable to let go. It haunts us to extreme  emotions of hatred and revenge sometime  and reaps unnecessary  consequences  to  one's  own peril. The blame is always on the other person. In doing so we forget that we are the ones who need help in  forgiveness and restorat...

A month of possibilities. 

This morning we were blessed to have Pst Stephen Chandra Mohan and his daughter Rebeka to come and minister in our church. This is the first time he is here and the church was blessed with the message, He spoke on fighting your battles to reach your God given anointing. The lesson was taken from the life of David. We were blessed indeed. Send off at T2 Changi Airport We also celebrated Youth Day. Bro Jerome red ape, written by him for the youths. The youths were specially treated by the adults. We thank God for all the youths in PEC.
