Get Ready!
Greetings, to you all in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We appreciate your efforts to reach the needy and extend your possible help to the people in distress. Please continue to do to reach people and help them, so that God will send His angels to meet what all is needed may reach you at an appropriate time. This is true. But we must prepare the ground so that everything will reach and will made available at our reaching distance is very important. This is one of the most important things we must need to concentrate on.
Brother William we do not know what exactly you are doing and what type of ministry now you are. But to your information we would like to share some important message to make you understand. God sent us to Punjab in advance to meet you all in November 2018 itself to prepare for the calamity. God hurried up us in the year 2016 and you see we opened our Face Book account in the year 2016 and we tried to reach every nook and cranny in India since 2016.
But to our surprise nobody came forward to make use of the time and opportunity. .In great difficulty we get one contact and through the help of him we could arrive at Firozpur in Punjab, stayed for 3 days and met some pastor that's all and could reach few areas. Likewise we went to Odisha, Rajasthan, Andhra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andaman and done ministry with few Pastors and Churches in these states. Whereas God wanted us to meet all and spread the awareness to prepare for the hard times that we are going to face.
Here what we wish to convey you is our God is not an ordinary God but He is an awesome God. Here we would like to point certain aspects for our understanding is that, we are ministering God and the people to save the souls. We all know prevention is better than cure. As we the servants of God, we need to work strategically with the help of Holy Spirit to prepare the congregation to sail with absolute protection. This is what our Bible speaks and shows us through the incidents narrated in the scripture.
There was a famine in Egypt Jacob's era but God sent Joseph well before to Egypt to alert the people of Egypt to plan for the famine to save the people around them. Next in one of the marriage in Cana of Galilee there was a short of wine, but the great thing was that the family was so cautious to have Jesus and His mother with them so that the moment they found short fall in wine and because the Lord was readily available there to meet their needs without any delay. Likewise there are so many such narrations to make use for our time of hardships.
This is how we all must work to equip our people. Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall unto the sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, none shall make you afraid, and will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. Levi : 26 : 4 - 6. The worst part is leave alone reaching the general public but even the pastors and leaders of the churches do not aware of the secrets and to act upon. We tried and ran and knocked the doors through all possible ways and we only could reach some 700 + odd churches and their ministers in India.
Hope you understood what exactly we wanted you to convey about the purpose behind our mismatches and miscalculations for the starvation and the sufferings of the people. So brother need not to worry God is in control and there are people around us to respond to God's command to help those in need. We were on the move till March 19 2020 and on 22nd march onward our nationwide Lock down started. The more needs of the hour is preparing the Pastors to equip and educate in line with the word of God and the faith.
This will help us to change the life style of each one of us to show the world that how we are different from others. In those days Noah was different, Abraham was different and many God's people were different because they listen and obeyed God's word. We are so sorry if anything hurt by our words and you may kindly pardon us because we have no intention of doing so but to save all is our only thoughts for action. Because we had such a pain full experience while contacting the Pastors to exercise the duty entrust by God to full fill. However, we could not reach as many places and as many Churches and people before this pandemic in spite of the network connectivity and all possible modalities.
Still it is paining my heart for seeing people in trouble and the way they are struggling for their daily needs. Please visit our Face book page so that you will understand better. Take appropriate steps to adopt for corrective measures to overcome the hurdles and prepare way for our congregation and all the reached and un reached to get ready to experience the presence of God. Bless you all, Please realise the facts and faults God is ready to bring normalcy in our life soon, Amen.
