God is still on the throne

Two amazing testimonies I had this week. One was speaking to a lady who converted from the majority.  Simply listening to her testimony made me stand in awe before the Almighty God. It only shoes how we limit God with my finite mind. God stills says, Nothing is impossible with Him. The second. On Monday night one of my coordinators called asking to restart a CP training program. I had already delayed it due to lack of funds. This time I said, "I don't know where the money will come from but let's start in faith" Yesterday I removed a message from a lady stating that she is transferring some money for the work in that particular country and for CP work. I was like, OMG.  God is still on the throne.  God cannot be limited by our limited frame. The moment we see His limitlessness, there is no limit to what God can do for us John 11:40 - Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believe?"  o God be the Glory. ...

Another church dedication

Image
I am seated in the airport waiting area for my departure to Singapore. We had a long day. We traveled 270 km from Hyderabad to the church dedication. This village is called Muddavaram, Kurnool District.  About 70 people turned up for the church dedication. These people worshipped the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. I shared the Word about the story in Luke 7, the Widow of Nain. The people listened attentively.  By the time we finished the service it was past 2 PM and we decided to go to the airport straight. So here we are, nice and early in Hyderabad International Airport, with a lot of time to finish the report and reflect.  It has been a short but good trip. Josephine and Albert enjoyed teaching the students in the Training Centre and are seeing the fruit of their labour on the ground. We are so blessed by the parternship of this committed couple. I am delighted to see another three church dedications and that brings the total to 117. I am thankful that...

PEC Vavilala We had two church dedications today and had to drive about 250 km to reach the first destination. We departed PEC Training Centre about about 8:15AM and reached the first village at 12:00PM. It was in a place called Vavilala in Mahabubad District, TS.  We were welcomed by a group of ladies from the Banjara Tribe in their traditional clothes and dance. It was pleasant and heart warming to see these simple people welcoming us with great joy.   This church is sponsored by Sis Shantung and family. We are thankful to such people who share the vision of PEC. More than 150 people gathered for the church dedication. SIs Josephine shared the Word and we prayed for the people in need.  The next church was about 30 mins away in a village called Laxshimipuram, also in Mahabubad District, TS. It is a small village and about 50mpeople gathered for the dedication.  This church is sponsored by the PEC Sembawang Care G...

We had a great service in Rasoolpura today. Church was filled and Bro Albert shared the Word. I continued with an exhortation from Ps 34 - God will deliver you from all your afflictions. They also celebrated Fathers' Day by cutting a cake for all the fathers.  It was my privilege to pray for them

Ministry in Hyderabad

Bro Albert and Sis Josephine have been in Hyderabad since 10 Jul. They have been teaching the Church Planters on two modules. The students are good and responsive. One batch will graduate on Saturday. I arrived Hyderabad at about 00:30AM on 16 Jun. Bishop Nehemiah was at the airport as usual to pick me up.  This time we are putting up at the new PEC Training Centre. Bishop has prepared a nice comfortable room for me. Bro Albert and Sis Josephine came in a week ago. They had been teaching the church planters.  In the morning more than 50 church planters and pastors gathered in Rasoolpura church. I taught them on the "Leader and Temptation".  The we had the consecration of Bishop for Rev T Prabudas and the graduation of church planters. Rev Prabudas has been working with PEC for the last 10 years and has trained more than 60 church planters and has a number of church planters working under him in agency areas near the Odisha border. He truly deserves ...

Sunday morning - The Persecuted church

For the next two months we are looking at the seven churches in Revelation. This morning I spoke on The Smyrna Church – The Suffering church, the text taken from  Rev 2:8 . Why are there poor in the world? Some are poor by Choice. Because of Calamity. Because of Sin and Laziness Because of Oppression from the rich and powerful Some because of their faith There was no criticism for this church. Two noteworthy comments from Jesus, who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. They were extremely poor There were persecuted to the point of death Why? Because the refused to compromise their believe in the Lord Jesus and refused to bow to Caesar. They paid it with their lives. But Jesus did not remove their suffering, instead he encouraged them to "Be Faithful" Rev 2:11 -  Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be h...
