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

At the invitation of Haggai Institute (HI), I will be going on a journey to the US from 7-17 Nov. A couple of meetings with the business community and potential donors have been arranged in California, Kansas and Nebraska. As I share with them the impact of HI training, may God touch the listeners and make them realise the urgency of fulfilling the Great Commission. I thank God for this opportunity and requests friends to remember the following requests in prayer: Jessica is in the US undergoing the DTS with YWAM. Pray for God's clear direction in her life. Reena and Jonathan are sitting for their important exams. Pray for wisdom and peace. Jeya that she will be able to muti-task as she attends to work, home, church and study.

Praise Evangelical Singapore embarked on a humanitarian mission in partnership with Bishop Haroon, Pastor of the United Methodist Church of Pakistan and an alumni of Haggai Institute. A two men team from Singapore, Pst K Steven and Bro Mathews were in Pakistan from 4-8 Oct to oversee the relief efforts. A total of 350 families in the Sargotha and Kasur districts of Punjub state were helped. The relief package, consisting of basic food necessities, were given to the families. Each food package consisted of rice, flour, wheat. milk, drinking water and basic hygiene set that can last each family for three weeks. Villagers were overjoyed with the help they are receiving from Singapore Christians. We thank God for the donors in Singapore who gave for the relief. God willing we intend to help further in the aftercare process.

Philippians 1:9-11 The christian life is dynamic, moving from strength to strength, from glory to glory. There's no such thing as "having arrived" in the christian walk in this earth. Stagnation marks the beginning of the "maintenance mode of operation" or lukewarmness. In his prayer for the church at Philippi, Paul focus on three important areas for growth. First he prayed that their love may abound more and more in all knowledge and judgement. The NIV reads as knowledge and depth of insight. It speaks of a growing relationship with God. That our love for Him will grow more and more on a daily basis. This is fundamental. As long as there is no growing relationship with God, we can be sure that our christian life is going to be a routine and a failure. More importantly the love must grow in the knowledge of the heart of God which if one has a clear understanding, will result in absolute worship. The word knowledge here implies experience. The more experience the...

Praise God for another fruitful trip to the mission field. Four members from PEC embarked on this trip. We had two church dedications and a 3-Day Church Planters' Seminar. Subjects taught were Stewardship, Models of Evangelism, Book of James and Leadership. I took the subject of Leadership using John Maxwell's Equip Training Material. It was well received and I myself was challenged while teaching the sessions. All Glory to God. We travelled by night on the train from Hyderabad to Kakinada. The church dedication was at a fishermen's village about 25 km from Kakinada town. We thank God for our church planter Pst Jeyapal who had laboured to start a work in the village. As we entered the village we were swarmed by flies in such numbers that we have never seen. Yet in such conditions Jeyapal has pioneered a work for God's glory. Today about 50 people are attending the church. I was moved as I watched the congregation worshiping God in such a freedom and sincerity. I have ...

After 3 months of fasting and praying led the king to answer favourably to Nehemiah. Bear in mind that his life was at stake to tell the king about his problem. But the "King's heart is in the hands of God" Pro 21: 1. It reminds us that God is sovereign and he is able to change the heart of the heathen king for His purpose. What a mighty God we serve. There is an old song that we don't sing anymore. Its reminds us of God omnipotence: Got any rivers, you think that uncrossable Got any mountain, you can't tunnel through. God specializes in things that's impossible He can do just what none other can do. Verse 4 speaks admirably of the power of prayer. When we come to God in prayer, even the hardest heart will melt. But it did not come easy. Remember in chapter one how Nehemiah wept, fasted and prayed. Sunday worship is good, lifts the soul and often soothes the emotions but the battle is really fought and won when one kneels alone with God in intercessory pray...
