You are diamond that shines in HIS Hands........

“Diamond” has to undergo a deep sharpening and once it is mended, sharpened and designed, it will be in full shape and shining with beauty.

Dear friend, are you feeling that God’s hand is sharpening your life? Are you undergoing the pruning and chipping process of the God Almighty?

Yea, it is painful indeed but thank God that He sharpens and prunes you for a special purpose to be used in HIS perfect Hands……..He has not chosen X and Y but YOU…

It could be a deep fall in your spiritual life….it could be a long waiting period for a blessing…it could be a humble situation that God has allowed in your life…In always remember that Jesus needs you and He is beside you. He will lift you up if you allow yourself for the pruning process. He will remove all the unnecessary burden, hurts, guilt that you are carrying……Psalm 9:18 says “But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish”.

Jesus is so thoughtful of your needs, concerns, burden, passion, aspirations and future…One thing you have to do my friend, you have to turn to HIM in whatever situation that you have kept in. Don’t go depressed or keep your heart stubborn for it will increase your sorrow. Come to HIS unfolding hands of love for joy, peace and love will become yours.

Be blessed!

'Chikungunea' - under His control..........

When i was pregnant with my daughter ivana in aug 2006, everyone was talking about being careful about my health, eating well etc. I've always been a sick person from my younger days which made everyone even more worried. I was in chennai at that time. Chennai was full of 'chikungunea' at that time. Every family had atleast one person with this disease. The infected person suffers from severe body pain especially in the joints with high fever. The joint pain would last for 3 month. Chikungunea was mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. So everyone asked me to be extra careful about mosquito bite. I had the 'mosquito repeller' at home, a 'mosquito hunter' in my hand all the time. But somehow mosquitoes used to bite me.
It was around that time, my friend Abi came to visit me and spent a day with me. By afternoon, she said she had severe joint pain and was feeling very feverish. In the evening we went to the doctor and found that she had chikungunea too. She was so worried that i shouldn't get it from her. So she decided to leave immediately.
Just a week before i was about to go to my parents place for delivery, my mom found that she had chikungunea too. With chikungunea in my own house where else could i go??? God was the only hope. I used to read Psalms 91 whenever i felt down and that would be a great source of encouragement.
Amazingly, I was hail and healthy throughout. According to my worldly wisdom I knew that i was surroounded by uncertainity. Any time i could get infected too. But 'there is nothing that is beyond His control. Nothing can happen without His knowledge'...... Thats the simplest way to put it.....

The Pencil Parable

This is the best message which touched me during college days . From a simple pencil we can learn 5 important lessons. Go through the slides.That will make you feel great..

Life is all about ups and downs. So never get disappointed at any stage. YOU WERE MADE TO DO GREAT THINGS!!!!!

Blessing is sure...

sccSpiritual thought

The three greatest tools that Satan can work against us to make us shrink in our spiritual walk with our Lord comes the following

Doubt
Underestimating God’s power
Fear

Dear reader, do you doubt God that He cannot accomplish plans for you?
Do you under estimate God that He has not power to change the situation?
Are you afraid or has got constant fear that things will get worsened?

Trust God…..for He has thoughts of peace and not evil to give you an expected end (Jer29:11)

Don’t take situation in your hands to change it….for it will harm you but instead give it to God’s hands and wait for His timing for patient waiters will not be disappointed.

Prevent fear because it brings bondage and no good work can be done and it ultimately leads to missing of God’s blessings in our life. For the Lord takes pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy.

Dear Reader,

Will you make a small prayer that Jabez made in 1 Chronicles 4:10 and in which God granted his request. Will you also trust that God is going to grant you the same request which you are going to make now for you to be blessed? Start praying like Jabez who cried to the Lord of Israel…..Oh that you would bless me
and enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me,
and keep me from harm
so that i will be free from pain.

God bless you

Jehovah Rophe - The Healer

It was the 31st of dec, 2003. Everyone was in the new year celebration mood including me. My chithi and cousin had come from cochin along with her nephew febby anna. I had cold a few days back but that seemed to be fine then. After an entire day of partying , it was finally time for us to go to church. The midnight mass. I wore my new saree which i got from pothys, chennai. It was a copper sulphate color silk saree with dolls in stone. I was so excited about this new saree that i wore it and was very eager to show all my relatives. The service got over by 1 am and it was very cold outside. I started feeling little uncomfortable. I had difficulty breathing. I started breathing heavily. So my mom decided to take an auto and go home. After coming home i had a cup of hot water and i became normal.
The next day we planned to go to my grand parents place. Myself, my bro, my aunt, my cousin vashni and febby anna made the first trip in the morning. My parents were supposed to come in the evening to attend the new year service at church and we were all planning to spend the night at grandmas place. After lunch at about 3 in the afternoon, my aunt decided to go to her parents place which was close by. She left with febby anna and vashni. My grandpa had also gone out. My grandma went to buy some things for the new year feast. So me and my brother were left all alone at home. At about 3:45, i started breathing heavily again. It became so severe, i couldnt stand in a place. I started sweating profusely. My brother was too young and became very worried. He was almost in tears. In the bottom of my mind I thought i was going to die because something like this had never happened before. It was becoming more and more severe. Just then my grandmom came. She also panicked but immediately boiled some water and asked me to do steam inhalation. Immediately i could sense a bit of releif. My bro called up my parents. They told him that they were dropping their plan of coming to grandmas place and asked us to return as soon as possible. Since it was a village, we have buses only once in an hour or 2. The next bus was only at 6 pm. I had no clue about how i was going to spend that time. My aunt returned from her parents place. She was all dressed up to go to church. But when they saw me even they became worried. Febby anna immediately called up one of his relative doctors and asked her for opinion. The dctor did give some prescriptions. But there was no pharmacy in that village. I really dont remember how i spend the rest of the time but we finally got the bus. I was trying to sleep in the chithis lap but couldnt. As soon as we reached our destination my dad was waiting with the scooter to take me to the doctor. The doctor said it was 'wheesing'. I've just heard of people getting it. But me!!!! I was shocked....
I took all the medicines that he gave me. But i had no sleep that entire night. The wheesing subsided on 2nd evening. It was the worst new year i ever had. But that night i made a silent preyer. I said Lord ' I've never suffered so much before. Please Lord i dont want this again. The next year new year service I want to testify in church about this'.
The Lord did hear my prayer. Throughout the year i did get mild breathing problems but i would just vanish in moments without any medication. He gave me good health thoughout that year. Praise God!!! I did share my testimony in church the following year. He is Jehovah Rophe - The Healer.

Spiritual Breathe

To live in this world we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon-dioxide.If we have breathing problems our energy goes down not able to do any work and we can't survive.

Same way daily in our life we have to breathe in some spiritual Gifts,Character,Habits and breathe out some unwanted things what we have in our selfs.

To practice it we should ask Gods guidance and to be obedient to accept the corrections.We can analyse ourselves what we are lacking to please God and to obey his commandments.

Every day we may realize if we were like this .. we would not have ended up in this problem. God expects some characters to be built in us to be His child and to mirror his mind and ways.

I have added some listings and you can also add to this list and to practice daily in our lifes.

In the Name of Jesus

I breathe in Love and I breathe out Hatred
I breathe in Patience and I breathe out Anger
I breathe in Blessing and I breathe out Curses
I breathe in Confidence and I breathe out Fear
I breathe in Holiness and I breathe out Lust
I breathe in Faith and I breathe out disbelief
I breathe in Positive thinking and I breathe out Negative thoughts
I breathe in Selfless attitude and I breathe out Selfishness
I breathe in Joy and I breathe out Sorrow
I breathe in Obedience and I breathe out Disobedience
I breathe in Wisdom and I breathe out Foolishness
I breathe in Abundance and I breathe out Lack
I breathe in Strength and I breathe out Weakness
I breathe in Righteousness and I breathe out Sin
I breathe in Good relatonships and I breathe out bitterness in relationships
I breathe in tame my tongue and I breathe out unwanted speechess

Positive Confession

When Jesus fasted for 40 days,he was tempted by the devil.For each and every question the devil asked,Jesus quoted a bible verse and put him in shame.As the Bible says

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Hebrews 4:12

Its like a bomb that destroys the works of the devil.Its like the rod which was given to Moses.Whenever you are in need,stretch the word of god like a rod and speak to the situation with a bible verse.It gives hope, blessings,deliverances,healing,salvation and success in all that you do.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Ephesians 6:17

From today develop the habit of meditating the word of god.Take a chapter and start reading word by word.Dont read it as any other book.As you read word by word,you will find verses that penetrates your heart.Pause and take that particular verse and break the sentences into each and every single word.Say for e.g The Lord is my shepherd.Psalms 23:1.Here its written THE Lord not A Lord.So it means there is one and only one Lord in this world who is our lord.Start meditating and you will see a great revival in your spiritual life.God himself will reveal the rhema,the hidden treasures of the spiritual world and he will take you to the new level of anoiting.


Prayer:

Abba father,I thank you so much for the Bible and for each and every promises you have given me in the Bible.I thank you for revealing me today,the power of your word.Lord Please forgive me for not reading it in the way you wanted me to do.Lord I ask you to grant me the gift of meditating your word.Please reveal me the hidden truths and renew my spiritual life today.Let me search you more and more with the help of your word.In Jesus name I pray Amen.

For him Nothing is impossible

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus.I m just cherishing the wonders that he is doing in my life.I joined the concern before 13 months by his grace.we started a prayer cell within a week and we were praying for our company to have good recognition in the market.we were praying for some 3 weeks and the fourth week we had a session where in ,we were intimated that iSoft will be ours within a few months.God has given iSoft on Oct 31rst..such a big concern with 3000 employees and Lorentzo is ours right now ..our branches were in 9 countries abroad but now it has turned out to be 17...he has blessed my work place..We are all prince & princess of the king of kings and Lord of lords.Nothing is too hard for him.He can shake the nations and make wonders to happen just like that.Cuz HE IS THE LORD ..THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH..

Faithful Friend

Are you lost in lost in loneliness?The ultimate problem among the youth today is loneliness.Very often we could read in newspapers and magazines about youth comitting suicide because of this depression.The main cause of loneliness is that we all seek for a relationship which is so faithful and secure.But nowadays we can notice that its so hard to find a faithful friend who is unchanging.

You cannot find a friend who is so faithful and unchanging like Our Saviour Jesus.His love for you is everlasting and he is so patient enough to accept and still love you amidst all your shortcomings.Today just check yourself.Are your ways are pleasing in his eyes.Are you hurting the holyspirit anyway.If so, take a decision that is going to change your entire life.Commit all your ways unto his hands and develop an intimate relationship with him more than anybody else in this world.He is all you need in the life.The depression you are going through today and the situations which you are struggling to overcome.It may be anything.Our problems may be different but there is one and only one solution for all your problems.It is JESUS.Nothing else in this world can make you glad other than his presence.When you shed tears in your loneliness his shoulders are there for you to lean on.He is always there for you.Are you ready to accept him as your best friend?Even if you say yes or no,he is still the same standing near just longing to hear a word from you.

Psalms 34 : 5,6

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
Prayer :

Heavenly father,I surrender myself completely into thy hands.Mould me lord.Make me an useful vessel in your kingdom and take control of my life.The situation that I m going through is like an ocean infront of my eyes.But God I believe you are the God who divided the red sea and I know at times you will make me walk on the water as Peter .But God let me focus on you,you alone without any doubt or fear and as I walk through the situation hold my hands Lord and help me to overcome all the troubles I am facing today.In Jesus matchless name I pray Amen.

He is my guy

My master is so loving,caring,compassionate n possessive about me.I m the apple of his eyes and he has given many angels charge over me so that my foot will not slip.He is my rock and I shall never be in want cuz his grace is sufficient for me.He is my Jehovah Jireh the provider of all my needs.The battle always belongs to him and I stand always in the winners side cuz even when 10,00 fall beside me I will not fear.He has told me Do Not Fear For I am with you.Yah He is with me when I walk thru the valleys,water and fire.He walks with me in fire as he has done for Shadrak,Meshach n Abednecho.

I was just longing for someone who will become my life,my passion,my everything.Wandering for years together I never knew there was someone who has choosen me in my mothers womb and has made all my organs perfectly.I am happy for the life he has given me,the hope he has given me today,my family,my job,my city,my church etc n etc..it goes on & on....He knows me more than even me.

Even before I utter words he knows my thoughts.He plans for me are always the best for me.He upholds me with his righteous right hand.He is all I need,He is all I want..cuz there is no one else like him.Even when the whole world forsake yet he will never leave me nor forsake me.He has inscribed my name in his nail pierced arms and he is the shepherd of my soul.I am being pampered so much cuz I m his pet sheep.

God's will in my life

When I was doing my XII STD my ultimate aim in life was to study BE Computer Science in Karunya . cuz I was studying in a hindhu institution and I suffered a lot to conduct my prayer cell.Every now and then my school hostel wasrden usec to warn me for conducting the prayer cell and there were so much of persecutions for the prayer cell.I asked god to give me a college where in I wont have problems to pray in my room and where I can grow spiritually.

When the results came,his grace was sufficient for me.I had a gud score.I was satisfied with my results but yet my dream didnot come true.My brother got me an application for BE in Avinashilingam,which is a pakka Hindhu Institution.I wrote the entrance examination and When I got the admission card from Avinashilingam there was noone at home."Oh my god another hindhu institution in my life....no way..."I was about to tear the card but God said dont do that.No other option when he tells.my father was particular to send me to this college.

Atlast I joined in Avinashilingam with so much of fears in my heart.For one whole year I didnt find a gud fellowship.I was just longing for a fellowship to share the word.End of my first year,God opened the door for me.It was my own classmate Dahlia and we started praying and It was a prayer cell with 3 people...me and dahlia and above all .....Jesus.Slowly God added people into the prayer cell and There are days when the prayer cell grew upto 30+.Even here there was opposition but even then the grace of god was upon us and he did wonders among us.His thoughts are so far and entirely different from ours.

He is the creator of heaven and earth.He knows wat is gud for us and where we will prosper.Its always gud to accept God's will though the dreams that u have doesnt match with the circumstances.Atlast you will know his ways and it will be amazing to see his works in you and your life.

A Desert turned out to be a prosperous land in his hands

In 2001 we were staying in a hill station and next to our compound there was an ground in which wild animals used to stay in night and there was an incomplete building and bushes were all over.People used to tell that it is a cursed place.none of them who bought that land were able to build a house there.I dont know why my father was so eager to buy the land and atlast with so much of struggles he bought that land and it took so much of money to level the land and he built a shed for our jeep and we couldnt proceed further.the jeep shed was half way through and my father got transferred to coimbatore and he had other commitments.

Everybody were telling the same comment about the land that it will never prosper.After his retirement my father started investing in this land and myself and my mom was so burdened about that whatever we invest in that land is a waste and we were praying that god should some how stop the contruction work and my father should sell the land inturn to someone.this was our prayer.nothing happened as we prayed.my father atlast finished the contruction work and took us to that land.when we went there our eyes were filled with tears cuz the same jeep shed turned out to be a very beautiful resort.Who else can do this miracle other than our lord.god has changed the statement of the localites that the land is too gud now.its giving a gud income to us.

Certain times god allows us to be like our land without any changes.may be even for years.but it does nt mean that he is not listening to our prayers.he has got a season to bless us.its not cuz of our prayers alone god brings blessing into our lives,but in his time he will make things happen more than what we pray for.my prayer was to sell the land.if we had sold it we would have got less than 5 lakhs but now god has made a cursed land to be a blessing and its worth is 20 lakhs now.Even u may be thinking my life is like a curse,a desert,wilderness but god can change any desert into a prosperous land.for him nothing is impossible.his ways are marvellous and his thoughts are so high and different from ours.Trust him and press on.He is there to change any worst situation of urs into a favourable one.

God turns our failures into success

When I was doing my second year,I had an Electricals paper.I hate that subject and the lecturer who handled that paper resigned her job and left us desperately.Just a week before semester some new mam came and she rushed up the 3 units which were not covered.It appeared greek and latin for me.the examination date was approaching and i got so bugged up with my electricals paper.

Atlast when i saw the question paper in the examination hall,i was so shocked cuz i didnt know anything.I asked god to sit beside me and dictate the answer and asked him to put his hands uopn my hands and write the answers like a mom helping a kid in writting ...i started writing slowly and i couldnt proceed after 40 mins cuz i didnt know anything more than that.the invigilator was not ready to send me out in 40 mins.so i was just sitting in the exam hall and was praying to god.

When i got my the exam results,i z amazed to c i had scored 40 marks.yahooooooooo...i have passed...god gave me successsssssss....40 mins 40 marks.who is the secret behind this success....yes......its our jesus who had given grace and favour to me and turned my failure to success....

Even when the whole world is turning dark,he will come with a small candle light to show us a way to escape and the intimacy we have with our god should grow more n more.so that oneday it will be only he who will be seen in each n every cell of us..and from there on he will take us to a new level of revealation.He will hold our hands and drag us to new people and nations and make us an useful vessel thats overflowing

Will a mother forget her child she has borne?


Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Psalms: 27:10

Will earthly father and mother forsake their children? Will a mother throw her child away? How can parents neglect their own children? Is it the question that is arising in your mind?

Dear reader, in this world we see mother throwing her child into the dustbin, killing girl children through various methods, giving poison to her innocent child and killing herself etc and the story continues………….

In the Bible, in the book of Isaiah chapter 49 in verse 15- God says to us “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

Yea, earthly parents may forsake and leave us but there is a God who is so thoughtful of us. Don’t worry if you are deprived of getting your parents love. Don’t worry if you feel that you are orphaned…..Jesus is your father and mother and He will fill your heart with love in which the world cannot give you. He will receive you as you are….Just go to Jesus and say one small prayer, Lord Jesus I accept you as my father and mother and I invite you to dwell in my heart, mind and soul. Amen

Act immediately; please do not delay…..


Dear Friend, I hope you might have seen this picture long back but I felt like conveying an important message to you.

Please do not postpone to help an individual or a family that requires immediate help or support
Please act immediately or proactively when crisis situation in families or community arises

Friend, let your eyes and ears be receptive to the needs of the people around you. When God gives you a chance or an opportunity to help a needy person, don’t hesitate to stretch your hand to reach them either through your physical presence or by your finances.

Prayers and Answers

    There are four types of answers that we can receive from God for our prayers.
1. Direct answer - YES
2. Denied answer - NO
3. Delayed answer - WAIT
4. Different answer


    Today i would like to concentrate on the 4th type of answer 'Different answer'. Let me start of with a small testimony from my life.
When i was in std 11th, we used to have salt analysis in chemistry lab. The coloured salts were easier to identify just by looking at it. But the white salts were trickier and u had to actually do all the salt tests to identify the salt. During my board practical exams, I had prepared well. But my prayer was ' Lord i should get coloured salt'. I had prayed so diligently that i was confident that i would get coloured salt and i could complete my exam without any problem. But when i actually got into the exam hall, i got a shock. It was white salt. Icould instantly feel a chill throughout my body. Though i was disappointed, i made a small prayer and continued with my salt analysis. By Gods grace i found out the salt in no time.
    Now how should i explain the situation??? Did God answer my prayer or not?? Yes ofcourse He did. But it was not exactly in the way that I had asked for. It was a 'different answer'.

    Many times we use our human wisdom and try to predict the answers that we might receive. We feel that is the 'only' appropriate solution available for our prayer. But what we fail to realise is that our vision is small compared to our Father in heaves. He has a multi dimensional vision and knows our past, present and future. He knows our problems and its solutions better that we do. So what is very important is complete submission to His will.

I love the poem written by somebody

I asked God for strength but He gave me difficulties to make me strong;
I asked God for wisdom but He gave me problems to solve;
I asked God for courage but He gave me dangers to overcome;
I asked God for patience but He placed me in situations where I was forced to wait;
I asked God for prosperity but He gave me oppurtunities to work hard;
I asked God for love but He gave me troubled people to help;
I asked God for favors but He gave me opportunities;
    I received nothing I wanted.........
        but I received everything I needed.......
            
All my prayers had been answered.     

So friends, if you have asked God for something and you feel He hasn't answered it....... Be patiient... Accept prayerfully anything that God gives you. Because after a while you will definetely realize that He has indeed answered your prayers in a way beyond your imagination.

The effects of Sudan famine…..


Can you see the aching child whose life is at risk?

How many of us murmur against God even though he has blessed us with a decent living? Please look at the child whose life is at risk because of the devastating famine. God has blessed us with abundant food that we hesitate to share it with the needy and wanting…In our life often times we fail to notice people who are struggling to run their life.

When Jesus was in the world, he had compassion on the people who were suffering. Jesus shed tears at the instance when Lazarus was buried in the tomb…..Have we got the same compassion on people who are suffering around us physically, mentally, socially and economically?

Are we able to sympathize and empathize for people who are battered and shattered in life? How far we have cultivated this virtue or are we living for own selfish ambition alone?

Dear Reader, let me leave the question to you………..

Testimony of my first elder brother JOEL…….

Inbuilt talents were hidden inside my brother….that is what I would say. I would like to write a testimony of my brother Joel who is working in Kuwait.

School days were not so pleasant for my brother because he use to fail in almost all the subjects. Nobody in our family thought that he will pass standard 10th. Yea, but it was God’s miracle and grace that he made it. Standard 11th and 12 was not so fine for my brother. He started cutting class and started watching movies…..hanging around with friends. This caused a severe setback in his life. He started to face defeats and failures in his life especially in pursuing his higher studies.

Though my brother was going in his own ways…..God was carefully planning him to return to the path of righteousness. Bro. Robinson, an evangelist (Christ is my life ministry) who is working among the youth use to visit our house frequently. The words from the Bible through Bro. Robinson played a vital role in his life. Many times I have observed my brother, though he was struggling in his own ways, yet he had a heart to obey my parents, very loving child in the family, with patience as a virtue……..After his post graduation, he joined in a small private company in Nagercoil for a meager salary. Often times he was down that he is not able to excel when compared to his friends.

“Christ is my life ministry” gave an impetus for him to involve in ministry. Gradually, he started engaging to God’s ways and will, confessing his sins and leaving worldly ways and friendship. It was a time where my parents were searching a girl for him. Since his earning capacity was low, we had a fear that how he will run his family. God in due time blessed him with a loving and God fearing wife. My sister-in-law was working in Kuwait and she made all arrangements to take my brother to Kuwait. When he went there, he struggled to find a job and for more than five months he was unemployed.

In the meantime God blessed them with a lovely kid named Joshua Giftson. After much prayer, God blessed my brother with a good job in one of the biggest companies in Kuwait. Presently, as family they are living for the glory of God in that remote and gentile land stating “Christ is my life”. I would like to praise and thank God for saving my brother and blessing him spiritually, materially, personally and socially. Thanks to Bro. Robinson who contributed a lot to grow spiritually and leading us in God’s ways whenever we were lagging behind……

Dear Reader,
We do not know what will hold our future, but we surely know Who(Jesus) will hold our future.

Hey, i am into Social work...

Oh, I am loosing interest in this field! Is there another field where I can do my post graduation? Yea, such questions were rolling in my mind at the second year of my under graduation (Commerce). I was loosing interest in the accounts field and I wanted to switch on to another field. I heard about new fields like population studies, journalism and archeology. My only option left was to choose M.com or MBA….but I was not so sure about MBA. “What I am going to do after completing M.com” as I was not interested in Accounts, I asked to myself.

God gave an opportunity to attend a State Students leadership camp at Madurai in the year 2000 through EU. In the second day of the camp, I met my senior and enquired about her job and education. It turned to joy when I heard from her that she has done her Master’s degree in Social work and working in an Organization in Madurai. Yea, it was the first time that I heard about a course called “Social work”. That night I went to a solitary place and started praying with these words- Oh Lord, a deep desire has sprung up in my heart to pursue this social work. If it is your will means, will you help me”? I had in mind about two challenges to face. One is finance and another was convincing my father to allow me to go out to study as Social work was not in any colleges in kanyakumari district. In my Bible on 16.10.2K, I wrote the following words signing on the paper that I have stuck in the Bible and started praying:

Dear Lord,
If it is your will, help me to obtain an admission in MSW….

God worked through my mother and maternal uncle to convince my father and God provided all finances to meet all the expenses related to my studies. God was amazingly opening the ways for me…..In selecting the college, I wanted to study in Bishop Heber, since it’s a Christian college but God didn’t allow but instead gave me a Hindu Institution. Yea, I praise God for I could lead many to Christ through prayer cell and individually in that Hindu Institution. God blessed my years in Madurai and with much humility I am expressing that my fellow students and professors acknowledged me to be a different person from others that brought glory to Jesus.

Dear Reader,
Submitting to God’s will bring a greater blessing for His path is full of righteousness and peace and there is no death. Let everything be done as per God’s will in your life.

Miraculous healing of my mother from heart problem

I was just studying 7th standard at school when my mother was diagnosed having a heart problem, a block. My heart use to cry in pain when I see my mother suffering sometimes to breathe properly. She was under medication and with one particular tablet; she had to take it daily and failing which will cause her severe problem to breathe. At school I use to think about my mother and always had a fear that my mother will die soon. Whenever I think that my mother’s life is short, I had to go through deep sorrow and brokenness. My only comfort was Jesus Christ…..and I will ask God “Will my mother die soon Lord” Such was the condition of my mother….. At work place, when my mother was about to get a promotion, one anti-social element wrote an anonymous letter in which he stated that my mother has got heart problem and within a year she will die. This created a deep scar in the minds of me and my brothers. We all were praying earnestly for our mother and in one of the conventions that took place in our church in the year 1994 in the month of May, Bro. Mohan C Lazarus particularly prayed for those that are affected with heart problem. At that moment i cried and prayed to heal my mother from the heart problem The year 1994, the month of July was an unforgettable month for all our family members. My mother was admitted in the hospital for more than 15 days. She literally went near the mouth of death. It was a time where I and my brothers had to go through a hard time to cope with the family urgent situation. The doctor seeing the critical condition of my mother referred to take her to Sri Chitra Heart Hospital in Trivandrum. My uncle came to my house and he arranged vehicle to take my mother to Trivandrum. As a small child I was observing everything that was going around with much pain. My father and my second brother Samuel accompanied my mother. From Nagercoil to Trivandrum, the running time is 2 hours and mother was vomiting throughout the journey and the pain she went through cannot be expressed. When she was admitted in Sri Chitra Heart Hospital, a team of doctors undertook a thorough checkup and found no block in her heart. Yea, the test turned positive. Praise the Lord…..God healed my mother’s heart block. She lives without any medicines till date. Unfortunately the doctor who treated my mother died at an early age of Cardiac arrest after going for a ride in the giant wheel in Chennai in an amusement park. “The one who treated my mother in no more but the one who was about to die is living”.
Dear reader, God is close to the broken hearted and surely will hear your agony. Are you going through such a situation in your life? Just go to Jesus and you will see His miracle today.
