Church ...as I Ponder

6 months of church ministry taught me many lessons.Thought to write some of em so that later I can recollect the great deeds of what He has done.
Taking up the ministry was not easy.It was challenging.After around 4 months of prayer and seeking God's face concerning this He helped us to realize that this was what He wanted.
One of the miracles happened today when the arrogant owner of the previous church building gave us the advance amount which we paid.Yesterday night when we were perplexed with regard to the discouraging challenging GOLIATHIC statement he made.We looked unto God and a verse that came from Michael.W.Smith's A NEW HALLELUJAH assured of divine intervention in this issue.THE ENEMY'S BEEN DEFEATED...Hallelujah. and I joined with King Asa in praying..LET NOT MAN PREVAIL AGAINST THEE.

God is a good God.Now in the church as a Pastor am happy that we are strong ,united and happy to see the favor of God at work in our lives.Shirley's testimony of being the top in the IBM appraisal.Wilson's gold medal from Anna university,Merrilyn's Onsite travel,Ben's presence that gives the Pastor a boost to speak,Priya's library management,Selwyn's marriage to merlyn,Beena aunty's US travel,Immanuel's promotions when firing is happening around,Alitha's competition with Sheba in the dining table,Madhu's commitment to Sammy and church,Joel's words(NOT IN THE MOBILE) and works,Sebastian's and Dilu's invisible presence.. give us reasons to smile and thank God.

The visit's of my dear parents sply my Mother Dr Jayakumari,Rev Billy Graham's timely encouragement ,Pr Joy George's help in communion services,the support of the Prakasams.The encouragement of our dear partners,the backing of Ebianna and priyakka with regard to designing the site and book marks is noteworthy.

With Sheba set to reveal God's gift to our family,am so thankful to God for He was gracious to me to gift me with such a wonderful partner.

The church is poised to have an influence in Bangalore.With the COMFORT OF THE HOLY GHOST the church multiplied in the first century,same will happen in the days to come.I believe greater days of His power are ahead of us and God will have His say in our lives.I believe there is MORE.

Prayers will be answered,church will grow,enemy's plans will be aborted...

Thank you Lord..for being the God of IPA SHELTER HOUSE..continue to lead us.....

Rest later.
