Mom took to mobile just few years back & manages to text message me anyhow.

People ask me often who my mentors are. I am certainly blessed to have many speak into my life but no one has taught me to pursue God like my mother does.

I’m 25 now. Married. Soon to be dad. 18years of ministry. Yet here’s one of those text messages she sent just recently while I was ministering in Canada. This partly explains my mom’s influence & how my ministry journey has been.

“Shyju and tiny how are you. I hope both are fine there. How is the meetings going. The only ones that are awake &go prayer will see the revival son. Where ever you are be with gods presence. Jesus prayed whole night without getting tired. Fix your focus on ministry son. I love you both sooooo much.”

I don’t need to explain further. I thank God for my parents.
I pray that we will be the same to our children. I pray that as a dad I won’t desire for anything more than an intimate relationship with God for all my children.
And I pray that God will raise more mothers like her.

    It sure is a blessing to have a mother who pursues you to pursue God. I am blessed too, to have a mother-in-law & a father-in-law who loves Jesus. She sure is a reason for God to use my husband the way He does. Thank you Jesus!

    Moms have those special place in everyone’s lives.  There are certain things which only moms can cater to. 

    I too have fond memories of my mum who has now gone home to be with the Lord.  She was a woman of few words but never groaned or grumbled while she looked after six of us each with different needs and tastes and habits.

    May God bless you both as you get ready to welcome in the new member in your home and in your church!!!!
