SICK STILL PREACHING AND PERFORM WATER BAPTISM

Shalom All,

It is a great blessing days for us as the Lord always our shield (Genesis 15 v 1) during our walk by faith.

Last Saturday, I was caught by diarrhoea, then come with fever and finally vomiting but Jenny is alright. I almost don’t have any strength to walk till I drink glucose water but it give me a few minutes strength. Without choice, I decided to tell Bro. John sent me to the hospital and I asked my wife to stay back at home as she was so worry about me. We went to JK Hospital about 4 - 5 km away from the house and it is a Christian small hospital with a chapel. The doctor whom treated me is Dr. Jaya as the hospital is owned by her family. After getting an injection for fever and I took rest at the waiting hall. When we left the hospital, Bro. John told me that the hospital never charged me a single cent and also never registered me too…moreover I am a foreigner. Praise the Lord for the free medication. Jenny and I went to visit them last Tuesday and spent three hours sharing our testimonies and the Word of God to them. They also invited me to speak at the nearby village. Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord!

On last Sunday, I was preaching in the small church (congregation is about 50 - 60 people) and the Lord asked me to share the topic “Discipleship”. After the service is over, the church pastor came to me and asked me to prayed for him…when I prayed for him, he keep on crying without stopping and he want to be good disciple while follow the commandment. Halleluyah! As the Lord will send the lamb into the wilderness and the lamb will meet the wolves all around (Luke 10 v 3). Today many leaders of the church never experience the truth of wilderness as they don’t have the ability to face the wolves due their faith with the Lord. Secondly, they even forget the Second Commandment that Jesus said in the book of Mark 12 v 31. It is to love your enemies, be truthful and humbly down to everyone, as anything is not related to love is called hate, mean the person judge (Matthew 7 v 1). We shouldn’t have two faces or more, be sincere to each and anyone. Praise the Lord!



A young brother brought to me by John and he want to pray for him also happened after the church the service. Then he told me that he is so desperate want to do water baptism as he had been a Christian since 7 months ago and the church delaying his water baptism. The Lord told me to perform water baptism him immediately and I do according to the Lord’s Will. In the evening, we went to the river and I performed water baptism for this brother. His sister-in-law called from London and so excited on his water baptism being done accordingly and she want me to do another water baptism for brother’s mother too as she is ill in the hospital. May the Lord enrich his spiritual life and Glory to the Lord!



After the water baptism, we went to the small church in the town and they invited me to share the Word of God. Without any preparation, the Lord asked me to share about our love mean Jenny and my love. When I share the joy and love, many people receive the touching from the Holy Spirit and they asked me to pray for them, mostly husband and wife. We must always treasure our spouse but nevertheless we must put God, our Father as first priority in our love then come to our spouse or family. The Lord in the Greatest Commandment being said in the Old Testament as well in the New Testament as to remind us over and over again.

Yesterday, we visited the Science Centre in the city. Amazing old invention that man had created and below is the pictures (not much I took as my camera battery was low).
