Reporting from Kuala Namu Airport waiting area.

 On my way home after spending a wonderful, uplifting and a rejuvinating weekend in Berastagi. I had the opportunity to talk to the staff of Kiros Cornerstone church on Saturday morning. About 15 of them were present. We had good discussion on the scriptures and some church management principles.

Saturday afternoon, I visited the school building that is under construction. Glad to see it taking shape. Glad to have played a small part in this building. 

Saturday evening, I attended the youth meeting. About 50 youths gathered for this lively service. I spoke on Proverbs 3:3-6 on the advise Solomon gave to his son. Many youths came forward for prayer.

Sunday morning I had the privilege to speak in the two morning services. The Spirit of the Lord moved and touched many people in their services. Glad to see the number increasing and how well organised they were. 

After lunch, we left Berastagi for Medan. Bishop Ezra had to attend his nice's engagement and since I had an early morning flight, it was best to ben in Medan. 

Met many of Bishop Ezra's relatives at the engagement. Also had the opportunity to meet Pst Robert, a senior  pastor in Medan. I mer him few years ago when I did the Leadership training for pastors in Medan. Good man with great humility. 

I also met a young lady pastor Anjana who is a pastor in a Methodist church in Medan. She is a gem with great testimony of how God has been her strength and support. Full of passion and love for the Indian people in Medan. In spite of her young age, God is using her to reach many Indian people in Medan. Very rare to see a young Indian lady as a pastor of a reasonably sized congregation. 

Grateful to Bishop Ezra and Pst Janice. Wonderful servants of God with humility, love and passion for God's people. As I look back in their lives, I can only conclude that God is faithful to His servants. He honours those who honour Him and He never shortchanges anyone who has given their lives to Him. Bishop Ezra and his wife are are testimony to this. They had very humble beginnings but today God has blessed them immensely, beyond human imagination. It's really a blessing to be refreshed by Godly saints who value you for who you are.

God is good. Thanking Him for His favour and mercy on my life.

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...
