The Secret of a Standing Man

February 24, 2010 in Leaders, Spirituality with 37 Comments

As a child, I really enjoyed cycling. My memories of my first cycling lessons were on a very small rented bicycle. But my dad had a bigger utility cycle which was our main means of transportation to anywhere. At the time, a motorbike was too much of a luxury to ask for.

As a family, we would all ride on that cycle to every possible Church meeting. Being the child, I would sit on the top tube of the bicycle frame and hang on to the handlebar as my dad rode miles down the streets with my mom seated on the rear luggage carrier. I watched my dad manoeuvre around every pothole possible to make our ride comfortable. (At which, he was not very successful given that they were not very good tarred roads) The joy in serving the Lord kept us motivated.

One fine day, I got a little over-ambitious Continue Reading

Truth About Freedom and Freewill

February 17, 2010 in Spirituality with 13 Comments

This is a guest post by: Pst. Stanley Thomas, USA

A great American freedom fighter, Patrick Henry, once declared ‘Give me liberty or give me death!’ This idea of freedom has been something we all strive for. Whether it is something we try to obtain from our parents or higher authority, it is something we all want but seldom know how to use. If there is any one series of questions I have heard from college students, it has been regarding free will. Am I absolutely free to make my own decisions? Does God decide for me? How does free will work with God’s sovereignty? Continue Reading

Handling Office Pressures

February 3, 2010 in Encouragement with 42 Comments

Let’s face it! Life is not easy all the time and it does not get any easier when you are a Christian. It almost leaves you feeling like a fish in the bowl. Everybody is watching your walk and your talk. The desire to live right in a so-wrong world seems so pointless with the human perspective especially when people around you do not play fair. Here are few ways to handle office pressures.

3 Keys to a Mountain Top Prayer Life

January 27, 2010 in Featured, Spirituality with 32 Comments

There was a time, a few years ago, when traveling by air was not as affordable as now with so many cost-effective airlines. The most frequently used means of traveling for me to conferences was either by bus or train. I preferred the train for a lesser bumpy ride and it would also give me the opportunity to peep through the window bars and watch the creation of God unfold before me as we passed through mountains and fields.

Lee Grady – Lessons from a leader (Interview)

January 20, 2010 in Leaders with 11 Comments

Lee Grady

From the time I started to preach and minister, I have learnt so much from other leaders. One of the purposes of my blog is to share what I’ve learnt; as the scriptures encourage, to freely give what we freely receive.

Here is an awesome interview with Lee Grady. Lee Grady is editor of Charisma international magazine. He is also the founder of The Mordecai Project, a ministry focused on empowering women leaders and confronting the abuse of women around the world.

We had organized a conference in our church with Lee Grady. He is a man who walks his talk in all humility. God used him powerfully in India, specifically to set many men free who were bound by the enemy of domestic violence. I am sure this interview will throw light to lot of areas in our lives.

When Dreams Shatter and Failure Befriends

January 18, 2010 in Encouragement, Relationships with 73 Comments

It’s been long but brilliant birthday, this 17th Jan, 2010. I enjoyed an amazing time with the Lord and all the dear friends God sent my way. I am overwhelmed seeing my Facebook inbox but I hope to take time to reply to everyone who sent their prayers and wishes. I believe friends are a blessing from God. I want to thank each one of you for taking time to simply wish the best for me. I thank the Lord for each one of you and request you to continually pray for me. You can also partner here to receive our monthly newsletter that will update you with our prayer requests and meetings itinerary.

After a lot of thought, I decided to share this, with the hope of it being an encouragement to someone. Last year held a lot of different things for me but it has also been year of moulding in my life. God brought a great change in my perspective in my heart with regard to the overall ministry.

Break Free From the Web – Don’t Let Computer Master You

January 13, 2010 in Encouragement, Spirituality with 20 Comments

Our world has been redefined to a faster pace than we thought, especially in the last 5 years. Our world has grown additional tongues, ears and eyes; we call it the virtual world. My mother is still trying to wrap her head around that fact that majority of the ministry work is actually done on the computer. And from the way it seems, the virtual world has taken over a generation itself.

From relationships to direct communications, everything seems to be moulded by this world. Now since there are thousands of benefits available, if we are not careful, we may end up becoming slaves to the computer and it in turn affecting our overall job performance, relationships and other activities.

Here are a few tips to avoid letting your computer being your master. Continue Reading
