Vol. XXV YEAR OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 2018 AUGUST

1. Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”.

2. while the sun and the light, the moon and the stars, are not darkened, and the clouds do not return after the rain;

3. in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow down; when the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows grow dim;

4. when the doors are shut in the streets, and the sound of grinding is low; when one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of music are brought low;

5. also when they are afraid of height, and of terrors in the way; when the a lmond t ree b lossoms, the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets.

6. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well.

7. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

8. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity”.

PRAISE THE LORD!

ECCLESIASTES 12:1-8

Editor : S. SAM SELVA RAJ Associate Editor: Bro. M. Paulraj

No. 11

Some� people used to say, “I get up each morning only to face problems which cannot be described.” They are – physical and emotional. Many are plagued by trouble after trouble and they worry. Very often they used to say, “This is all too much for me to handle. My problems mount to defeat me! I don't have the strength to fight these problems anymore. How will I ever make it?”� Our ministry used to receive many letters from saints who undergo extremely difficult circumstances daily. A couple of days back, my wife and I spent nearly half-a-day reading through some of these letters:� One godly woman wrote: “I have been married for over thirty-five years and now I am a grandmother. But now my family is being destroyed by my husband. He

had been an anointed man of God and used often by the Lord. But now he has been changed into a womanizer, full of lust late in life. The fire in him has gone. Please pray for him and my family. He has no love for me, and I am so unhappy”.� A pall of gloom has gathered over this woman's life. Yet she still loves him and wants him to come out of his wicked ways and lead a life acceptable to God. But she has been drained of all her emotions and became a sick woman. She often wonders, “Oh, God, this is about to destroy me. I don't think I can endure these sufferings any more. How can I keep going?”� Another woman wrote: I have lived with a dreadful intestinal

ESTD: 1969 Dearly beloved friends in Christ,Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord

Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:2).� We are much privileged and blessed by our Lord God as we enter into

ththe Golden Jubilee Year on the 10 August, 2018. The Lord God has been really good to us during the past 49 years. We express praise and honour to Him and Him alone. Thank you so much for your partnership with us during all these years. Yes; it is a long walk with the loving Lord Jesus Christ!� In this occasion, we remember all our partners in the Ministry, especially Rev. R. James Ronald who recognized my calling when I was about

th18 years old and inaugurated this Ministry for the Lord on the 10 August, 1969 with a small group of friends under the name Good News Prayer Band. God bless him.� We have arranged a 3 day Convention and Bible Study in a humble

th thmanner in our Main Church building from 10 August to 12 August, this year. This will be a token of our gratefulness to God, for His faithfulness, love and providence.� It is our real vision and burden to see our nation as a Nation saved by the precious Lord Jesus Christ within our life time. We are working towards this goal. We cannot express all the agonies and sufferings we are encountering in our day to day ministries through pen and paper… we believe the Holy Spirit will reveal them to you. We extend an open call to all the people of God in this country to join together to achieve this goal without selfishness and with one mind and one accord, throwing away all denominational and doctrinal barriers and differences.� May the Lord God bless you abundantly.

BUT I THOUGHT THAT PRAYER IS

ALL ABOUT ASKING GOD FOR THINGS?

we going to make it?”� A pastor wrote: “Last July I underwent radical surgery on my prostate, which was full of cancer. The doctors also removed the tissues around it and made life difficult. Now I also have diabetes and a stomach ulcer. Would you please pray for me?� What giant enemies this man faces each day! He lives in terror that some of his cancer may remain. And he has to fight diabetes and an ulcerated stomach. I wonder how often he asks, “How can I continue facing this? How will I ever make it?”� An elderly sister in the Lord wrote: “I will be eighty one in March, and I have arthritis and diabetes. My back and legs are weak, and I can hardly walk. Because, I live by myself. I have to do my own housework. I don't have much money or any relatives. Please pray for me”.� I see this pain-ridden woman laboring each morning just to get up, struggling to cook meals, straining to keep up her house – all with no one to help. She must wonder at times, “How am I going to make it through another day? What will happen to me on the mornings when I can't get out of bed?”� Another dear sister wrote: “I just received word from my husband that he has terminal cancer in his esophagus. He has been a godly husband and a wonderful father to my fourteen-year-old-son. Pray that I will remain strong, and that my faith will increase through this”.� Like so many others who have written us, this poor woman is crying out for the strength to face a giant problem each day.� Never in my lifetime have I

heard of such troubles, suffering and pain among Christians – marriage struggles, financial problems, physical trials, unending grief. People are asking, “How am I going to make it? All these enemies are too powerful for me. I am weak, helpless, unable to do anything about them. Lord, how can I ever get through this?”� The truth is, none of these terrible things has surprised God. He has foreseen every awful thing that would ever happen to humankind, including every crisis and problem we face today. And the Bible tells us God wants to show us how to face them all.� The Lord spoke to Moses two words of hope that are also intended for us today. If we will simply do as He instructs, we will not only make it through our trials, out we will find the Lord faithful in fulfilling his promises to us:

1. God commands us not to fear any of our

enemies!

� “Thou shalt not be afraid of them…” (Deuteronomy 7:18). For Israel, “them” represented the massive, well armed heathen nations they faced in the promised land. For us today, “them” represents every problem, trouble and overwhelming difficulty we face in life.� Why are we not to fear, you ask? God says so! No other explanation is needed. God is all powerful, all sufficient – and He's aware of the satanic strongholds we face. He knows every snare, trial and temptation that will ever be thrown at us. And he commands us, “You shall not fear any of them!”� God gave this command to Abraham. Here was a man living in

a strange country, surrounded by powerful kings, not knowing where he would end up. Yet God's first word to him was, “Fear not!” “…the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and they exceeding great reward” (Genesis 15:1).� The meaning of this last phrase is, “I will be a wall around you, your protector, your defense”. In essence, God was telling Abraham, “You are going to face difficulties. But I will protect you through them all”. Abraham responded by believing God's Word to him: “He believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).� This same word came to Abraham's son, Isaac. He also lived in a hos t i l e env i ronment , surrounded by Philistines who hated him, harassed him and wanted him off their land. Scripture says every time Isaac dug a well for supply of water, the Philistines filled them back up: “…the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth” (Genesis 26:15).� Wherever Isaac went, he had the same problem. He even called one well “Esek”, “which means “contention”. Apparently, Isaac felt nothing but there was contention in his life. He must have thought, “How will I ever feed my family and water my flocks? And how can I raise my children without fear, when the Philistines could plunder us at any time? God, why have you planted me here? How can I ever make it?”� As this cloud of doubt formed over Isaac, God gave him t h e s a m e w o r d h e g a v e Abraham”… I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I

� Due to the heavy rain in South India during the past about few months, a lot of death of precious people and damages have been caused. A lot of lives, church buildings and properties have also been destroyed by the wind and flood.

The Bible in over 50 languagesBangalore: More than just a business employing about 400 staff,

Brilliant Printers is run like a Christian mission which prints the Bible or portions of it in over 50 languages for different organisations and bridges out a host of other Christian publications with high quality, reliablility, cutting-edge technology and sheer brilliance. It's new 1.5 lakh sq ft facility on the outskirts of Bangalore was dedicated in March in the presence of the Archbishop of Bangalore, Dr Bernard Moras, Dr Mark Taylor, CEO of Tyndale House Publishers, USA, and Dr M Mani Chacko, General Secretary of the Bible Society of India (which incidentally was their first major client).

Started in 1970 by Anthony Victor Rego and run as a family enterprise with his devoted wife Irene and sons Anil, Manil and Sunil, the one-treadle-machine workshop has grown into one of the biggest one-stop printing & binding houses in India, exporting books to over 70 countries and having a daily production capacity of 100, 000 'perfect bound' books, 50,000 saddle-stitched books and 20,000 hard cover books. It can also print on fine this paper. At the dedication service Archbishop Dr Bernard Moras said that hard work, faithfulness, love of God and concern for the less privileged persons were the hallmarks of the Rego family. Perhaps their website lets out the secret of their success: “Solely because he [founder] placed his trust in the Lord Almighty”. (Daijiworld.com; BrilliantPrinters.com)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

AUGUST 2018

am with thee and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake (Genesis 26:24).� Today, like Isaac, we are children of Abraham. And God makes the same promise to us He did to Abraham and his offspring. “If ye be Christ's them, are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). We serve the same God who was a shield to Abraham. And he is with us as mightily!� Our heavenly father looks at every step of our lives. And in spite of all our crises and difficulties, He commands us again and again in scripture: “Fear not!” We are not to believe that our problems will cast us down and destroy us – because we are to know that He is our shield.� “Happy are thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread u p o n t h e i r h i g h p l a c e s ” (Deuteronomy 33:29). God is telling us, “It's a lie that I have forsaken you! It's a lie that I am mad at you and have left you to fend for yourself against your enemies. Those are all lies of Satan!”

� Do you wake up every day in anguish over a besetting lust or habit? Do you live in torment,

thinking, “this awful thing is still alive in me”?� God knows all about the sin remaining in your heart. And He knows how you hate it and have wept over it. Now He wants you to hear this word: “Fear not! I am your shield, your protector; your defense, your sword of holiness against all enemies. I know the way out of temptation for you. And I will teach you to do battle!”� David knew this. That's why he could say, “I will fear no evil…” (Psalm 23:4). He realized that Satan would get the victory if

he afraid.� Beloved, that's just the way the enemy works against you. He wants you to be afraid of your sin / afraid you will never be delivered, never be set free. But God says to all grieving, hurting saints: “Fear not! I see and know all your suffering. And I will not permit Satan to destroy you!”� You may ask, “But what am I to do? How can I have the Lord's peace and rest in all this?”� The answer is found in God's word to Moses and Israel.

I want to address all Christians who struggle

with a besetting sin!

A vibrant evangelist silenced� JHARKHAND: Maoists took responsibility for the gruesome slaying of a person on May 1, but area Christians said they suspected other extremists put them up to it. Abraham Topno, 46, pastor of Pentecostal Church of God, was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen is Ranchi District, Jharkhand state, who later beheaded him. The pastor has served in the area for over 20 years. “We know that he was a vibrant evangelist, a pioneer missionary, and we suspect that Hindu extremists are behind his killing,” said a fellow pastor of a nearby church. – Gospel Herald/MSN - Forerunner (June 2018)

AUGUST 2018

With a sea before them, an enemy behind them and no place for them to turn, God commanded them: “…Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today… The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).� What does this last phrase mean – “hold your peace”? It means no more worrying, no more trying to figure everything out - and instead trusting God to make a way for you. That's when he gives you his word of direction, as he gave Israel: “…go forward” (verse 15).� Joshua also faced difficult enemies. He and his army had to march all night to Gibeon, where they faced a massive military machine of five confederated kings. As Joshua looked down at the battlefield, he saw the valley filled with mighty chariots and well trained infantrymen. Yet all he had was a weary band of unskilled men.� In that moment, a cloud of despair must have gathered over Joshua. He probably thought, “Lord, we only barely made it here – and now we have to fight this strong enemy. Please, tell me – what are we going to do?”� Scripture says: “The Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee” (Joshua 10:8).� God pronounced victory even before Joshua went into battle. He said, “The victory is already won! Not one of these enemy soldiers will be left standing after the battle. Now, go and fight, knowing I have promise you the victory!”� That is the message of the cross! The victory has already been

won for us. No matter what crisis we face, what powerful difficulties lay ahead of us, our victory has been assured: “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).� Does this mean we are to do nothing – that we are supposed to stand by and expect God to send an angel to slay all our enemies? No – never! Even though God has proclaimed our victory, he will not do our part for us.� We still have to pick up a sword to fight the enemy. The difference is, we are to do it believing God has promised to empower us: “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).� The Holy Spirit responds to our faith. When we call on him, he comes upon us with supernatural power to mortify the deeds of the flesh. Our part is faith and then walking in the belief that God's Spirit will resist the power of evil coming against us.

2. God commands us to remember how He defeated all our enemies in the past!!

� Moses instructed Israel,

“Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt… the signs, the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid” (Deuteronomy 7:18-19).� What a powerful message! Moses was remind ing the Israelites, “No matter what enemies you face, God has promised you victory over them all. He delivered your fathers from Pharaoh, and he will do the same for you today!”� “…remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy l i fe” (16:3) . “Thou shal t remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt…” (verse 12).� Moses' cry to the people was, “Remember the past! If you think you are having a difficult time here in the wilderness, think about all the terrors you faced in Egypt. Don't forget what life was like when you were all slaves. And remember everything God did to deliver you – to save you and sanctify you from it all!”� The prophet Isaiah also spoke God's word to a people who

HOW TO TALK WITH GOD!

AUGUST 2018

were full of fear. This was at a time when Israel was convinced God has forsaken them. They shook in fear of what their enemies might to do them. But Isaiah assured them:� “… who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; and forgettest the Lord thy maker; that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor? (Isaiah 51:12-13).� God said through the prophet, “The reason you are afraid is because you have forgotton who I am. You are looking only at your troubles, rather than on My might and ability to deliver you. You have forgotten that My hand is still on your life!”� You may have trouble remembering God's miracle in your life. You may think, “My life has been one long, hard nightmare. I simply have not had much to rejoice in. How can I remember God's miracles when I have not experienced them?”� You must understand that our experiences can inspire faith. But they are not meant to be foundation of our faith. That's why God's Word always points us toward what Jesus has done. We are to remember His victory on the cross for us, and to cling to it by faith. He alone empowers us to victory, by His Spirit. Jesus said, “I am going back to my father but I won't leave you as orphans”.� Christ told his disciples, “Now I go my way to him that sent me… I will not leave you

comfortless…” (John 16:5, 14:18). The Greek word for “comfortless” here is “orphans” meaning, bereaved, fatherless”.� At times you may feel as the disciple later did that you are all alone, and that God is not at work for you. You see no evidence of his care. And Satan lies to you that God's Spirit has left you for a season.� But there is one incredible miracle you cannot forget. It is Jesus promise to all of his followers: “I will not leave you as an orphan. I paid a price for you – and you are mine!”� No matter what you are going through, your heavenly father has never once abandoned any thought of you and He never will. Listen to His eternal, unbreakable promise:� “Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on

the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me” (Isaiah 49:14-16).� This passage tells us, “Your need for protection is always before my eyes. There's never a moment when I am unconcerned about keeping my supernatural walls secure around you. My protective hedge is always there!”� I have known some mothers – including pastors' wives – who have abandoned their children. Just a few weeks ago a pastor wrote to us: “I have been married for twenty five years, but my wife recently left me for some man she met through the internet. She just walked out on our children and me. I still love her, and I want her to come home, but she won't. I am hurt so badly right now, I can't sleep. I don't know how I am going to make it”.� God answers this man, “Even your beloved wife may

abandon you – but I never will. My walls around you will always be secure!”� Our ministry receives many letters from women who have lived with alcoholic husbands for decades. As I read of their despair, I ask, “Lord, why do these faithful women have to suffer for so long, with no sign of hope?” I never understand why my wife has had to go through so much physical suffering. She's had twenty eight

operations, six of them for cancer – over forty years of awful pain. No minister or theologian has ever been able to explain to me why she continues to suffer this way.” Yet, it doesn't matter what any of us has to go through, or how long we have to endure it. One thing is true above all:God's grace is sufficient to keep

us in all things!� The apostle Paul cried out to God, “Lord, please deliver me

from this thorn in my flesh!” But the Lord answered him, “… My grace is sufficient for thee…” (2 Corinthians 12:9). God told his servant, “Paul, you are going to have to live with this thorn. But in the midst of your pain, I will give you all the grace you need. I have an endless supply for you!”� The Lord wants us to know that His grace is stronger than any deliverance he might bring to our

In the early days of my ministry in the year 1971, I applied to the Post Office in Chennai and got a Post Box bearing Number 2957. This was very necessary for me in those days to receive my letters since I had no permanent address.� I faced heavy financial strain during those days as I had to run the ministerial activities from my monthly salary. Several times I had to undergo starvation and face financially difficult times. But God was with me and I was able to believe Him for all the needs of my ministry and home and I could see the hand of the Lord on me.� In one occasion in the year 1976, I was not able to pay the bills for printing ECHO OF HIS CALL magazine. I prayed for several days and I did not receive any answer from God. I had no other source except cancelling the Post Box facility and receive back the deposit amount of 500 Rupees.� So I went to the Post office and gave an application to the Post Master to cancel my Post Box facility and pay back the deposit

amount of 500 Rupees paid by me. He tried to convince me explaining the difficulties to get a Post Box and delayed action on my application. I was so sad about my difficult situation. Finally, the Post Master cancelled the Post Box facility and paid back the deposit amount.� But when I returned from the chamber of the Post Master, one of the staff members of the Post Office by name Mr. Govindan met me and asked for the reason for cancelling the Post Box. I shared my bad financial situation with him. He immediately arranged for

some money and took me back to the Post Master and helped me to get back the same Post Box for the ministry, by giving much pressure. We are still using the same Post Box for our ministry. Glory to God!� In all the ups and downs of my life, God has been faithful. He has sent His angels to help me in times of poverty, sickness and other needs. He is a great God. The same God can perform any miracle in anybody's life at any time. Dear reader, you can also believe Him for a miracle in your life.

circumstances. Why? His grace contains the full revelation of who He is! Simply put, God's grace Jesus Christ fully revealed – in all holiness, yet with tender, compassionate heart.� Our heavenly Father sees every bit of our suffering and He makes these wonderful promises to us:� “The salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: He is their strength in the time of trouble” (Psalm 37:39).� “… he hath said, I will never leave thee, not forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:5-6).� “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.� “Behold, all they that were incensed against these shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contendeth with thee; they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.� “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee… when the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them” (Isaiah 41:10,13,17).� You can make it through any situation, crisis or disaster – all by the grace of Jesus Christ. No matter what comes your way, he has more than sufficient grace and Holy Ghost comfort for you!
