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

But David found strength in the Lord his God. –  1 Samuel 30:6 Of  all the low points in David’s life, many immediately point to his sin with Bathsheba—how he orchestrated the death of her husband and tried to conceal the entire affair as though nothing had happened.  And certainly, that was a grievous failure. But in my view, it wasn’t the darkest chapter in David’s story. There is another moment that stands out as even more troubling—not because of moral failure alone, but because of what it reveals about David’s identity, his purpose, and his faith. A  closer look at  1 Samuel 29  reveals a moment perhaps even more devastating: the anointed king of Israel aligning himself with Israel’s greatest enemies—the Philistines. David—the very man who defeated Goliath—was now preparing to march alongside the Philistines, the very people God had anointed him to conquer.

But  God didn’t send him into ministry from the palace—He sent him to the pasture .   For 40 years, Moses lived in the wilderness tending sheep. Why? Because before he could lead God's people out of Egypt, he had to be  emptied of self-reliance and filled with God-dependence . God had to mould the man before He could move through ...

Jeya and I went to Klang, Malaysia, from 1-3 Apr. The main purpose of the visit to was see Sis Usha, Pst Pathi's wife, who had a serious accident at home and underwent a major head surgery. As usual Pst Stephen Chandran and his wife Flora came to pick us from the airport, even though we arrived past 10:00PM. We have become like family over the years and was indeed a joy to see them again.  On 2 Apr morning, we visited Sis Usha. Pst Pathi is the Missions Pastor of HighPointe Life and we have partnered together on number of occasions in the mission field. Both husband and wife are truly committed to the Lord and to His Kingdom. Both have been with us on missions trips and they themselves are overseeing a big church planting movement in India.  Sis Usha is indeed a walking miracle. By God's grace, she is recovering well, she is able to recognised and remember a lot of things and on the road to full recovery. Anyone in the medical field will tell you that this is indeed ...
