Ministered at Messiah Prayer Hall in Chennai

We left at 5:30 this morning from Veerapandi village an arrived Chennai by 8AM. There was no traffic on the rad as it was elections day. 

Today I had the privilege to minister at Messiah Prayer Hall which is about 5km from Chennai International Airport. I was invited by Pst David Matthew, who I met in the HLE in Port Dickson in Jun 2023. 

A young man with great passion and fire for the Lord. He is bi-vocational and takes God's work seriously. Divid also helps in our CP training program by facilitating a subject. 

Pst David's father Senior Pastor Matthew, planted this church and this church has a congregation of about 600 members. It was joy meeting his parents who had served the Lord for many years. 

Even though it was a voting day for Tamil Nadu, about 100 people gathered for the fasting and prayer meeting in the church. 

Pst David's vision is for his church to get involved in mission work in Tamil Nadu and he asked if I can share on Missions.

I spoke on Paul's encounters with God, himself and the world, the focus being to reach the unreached with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

After the service, Pst David asked me to speak to the youths. I had two sessions with them. I spoke on Solomon's advise to his son in Pro 3:3-5. They were so engaged that I didn't notice that it was almost time for me to get ready to go to the airport.

After a quick shower I rushed to the airport and now checked-in and ready for departure. Praise God that the there was no hassle in the immigration and customs check.

I thank the Lord for this trip. His mercies are new every morning. 

To God be the glory.

"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
