VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dearly beloved, I am happy to greet you in the sweet name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The month of March is so important for several reasons listed below: MULTIPLYING IN RESOURCES: We are entering the end of the financial year 2020-2021. The month of March is an important month for business, education, private organization, ministries, and government related departments. Normally the world runs towards achieving their goals with great efforts to meet the expenditure of the closing month, and to be glad that they attained much than the previous year. GROWTH IN REGENERATION: Special worships, meditation and prayers are organized by the churches for the edification of individuals to grow in the knowledge of Christ. We can say that this month will be spring for many individuals. The month of March is important as we remember the sacrificial love of Jesus at the cross, receive the opportunity to 'repent' from the sinful life and get the opportunity to overcome the temptations. EXPANDING IN REAPING The harvesting of souls is important for the Vishwa Vani ministries during the month of March. This is the month when many ministry partners visit the mission fields and witness the church dedication services. This is the month when the faith confession services are held every day at the fields. This is the month when the training for the new workers from North and East India are started. This is the month when Mission Sunday is held at the churches in the fields where the vision for the gospel work is shared among the first-generation believers. Spiritual revival meetings and Melas are also held in the fields. RECEIVING OF BLESSINGS: May the Lord bless us day by day according to Ephesians 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” David is humbling himself and thanking the Lord for the promises and the
VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English blessings that he has received from the Lord (2Sam. 7:18-29). Likewise, let us also thank the Lord with whole heart for the blessings and goodness that we have received from Him during the previous days. Believe with the whole heart that God will bless you in the future as “because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep springs below, blessings of the breast and womb” (Gen. 49:25)! Your prayer with faith will be victorious. Amen! RELEASING OF SHARES: Famous Tamil proverb says that the more we draw water from the well, the more we get from it. Luke 6:38 says “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” According to this promise, this month becomes the month of happily releasing the shares to meet the spiritual and physical need of the people. This month stands before us to release shares to meet the various needs of the gospel work by giving through the savings boxes, adopting the villages monthly and special donations. This month gives the opportunity to support a village that has not heard the gospel even once as a family or individual by contributing Rs. 3000/- monthly. This month lovingly calls you to support in the purchase of the land and for the construction of the church building in the field. As a result, this month will enable the heavens to rejoice. Through your joyous contribution, you are also going to be a blessing for others and so we are rejoicing with you! As a result, the month of March is not only the end of the financial year but also the base month of the new financial year. It is the month to move with faith and belief to inherit success. IN-CAMPUS TRAINING COMMENCED FOR THE NEW WORKERS The three-month in-campus training for the new Ezras to light up the gospel light at the regions beyond was started. In the month of January - 31 from Manipur, 8 from Kolkata, 22 from Andhra Pradesh, 17 from VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English Gujarat, 20 from Maharashtra and during the month of February- 51 from North India, 19 from East India, 10 from Karnataka and 11 from Telangana making a total of 189 trainees undergoing the training. Also, the training classes are yet to begun in Tarangada (Odisha), Pathankot (Punjab) and Sureri (Uttar Pradesh) Training Centers. We are expecting your constant prayers and support. Come forward to send your portions in reaching the regions beyond by contributing Rs. 3000/- monthly. Introduce this result-oriented ministry to the believers and churches. We need supporters who will adopt 1,825 villages where the new workers will share the gospel. VISHWA VANI MISSIONARIES' FAMILY WELFARE We are rendering love, care and support toward the missionaries and their families who are working day and night for His purpose. However, many a times we fail to meet their medical needs. The families of the missionaries are shattered many times during their sudden death, various harmful diseases, and fractures because of accidents. Their financial status as well as their mental ability is also shaken and there is a lag in the growth of the ministry. We are compelled to take care of the widowed wife and children of the missionary. We are prayerfully planning to have a registered body of Member Care Society to execute the above said aims with prior objectives. We are in the process of documentation. We request you to pray for the registration and all the works to be carried according to the plan of God. Kindly come forward to support the missionary and their families to support them during their trouble. STEPPING FORWARD TO INHERIT FAVORABLE DOORS FOR THE MINISTRY: There is a lag in the economic condition of the whole world because of Corona in the past 10 months. Crores of families are without support. There is great fear in the hearts of the individuals about death. There VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English are families waiting for restoration. In this situation, we have hope like the sun that removes darkness. It is true that we are returning to normal condition! But we need to follow the statutory rules and regulations that are guided by the government and move forward! Our field workers move forward in the harvesting of souls. Office work and development work is on progress. We thank the Lord on hearing that the families of our ministry partners are returning to normal, and their financial condition is improved, and wedding ceremonies are being held in their families. The contacts with the leaders of various churches and believers are renewed and strengthened. We have received open doors for the ministry. Church buildings are being constructed in North India mission fields to the extent that we have not imagined these days. We humble ourselves saying that we are unworthy servants. We empty ourselves saying that may the name of God alone be glorified. Our faith alone helps us to overcome the world. Hallelujah! We are praying for you. Please remember us in your prayers daily. May the blessings of God be unto you! But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English Special Feature written by Emil Annan republished from Vishwa Vani Samarpan June 2005 Faith is Victorious! Unbelief Gets Defeated!
"By faith they conquered" (Hebrews 11:33) "They were not able to enter, because of their unbelief" Hebrews 3:19 Every brother and sister who read the title and the above verses will understand only one thing! What is that? You will live through your faith! Or you will die in your unbelief! The Holy Bible is a definite one. The Holy Bible says choose one among two! Light or darkness! Holiness or sin! Life or death!-This is what is given in the Bible. There is no compromise in the Word of God! There is no adjustment in the Word of God! There is no Word in the Holy Bible as: live along with the world! There are no two phases in the Word of God! There is no inner life and outer life in the Word of God! The Holy Bible is definite! It is superior than the knowledge of men. It is superior than the wisdom of the world or strength of money! It is greater than position, fame, relatives, and the gang of friends! It is above people from my place, my district, my language, and my caste! It is above people from my church, my organization, my leader, and everything else! How is it greater? It is greater in the sense that, the heart of man is in close association with the heart of God, Which is the greatest thing in human body? The eyes! Whatever the eyes see, he wants it! The eyes look at everybody and like to have them. Many times man never sleeps unless he gets whatever his eyes wish! Again which is greater in man? The tongue!
VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English Tasty foods, drinks are needed for all the three times! Man is never satisfied if he cannot get food or if the food is not tasty! What more? The ears! Sweet tunes, songs, music, listening to whatever other speaks highly of them, waiting to hear 'well done'! If somebody talks ill of other we enjoy! Eye, tongue, and ears are the greatest in man! But the greatest, which God thinks, is not eye, not tongue, not ear but the heart! Man's eyes will see! His ears will hear! His tongue will taste! When God comes into man's heart, what does he say? "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him" (Isaiah 64:4)! This only comes from his heart! Read the whole of Isaiah 64. When you read this chapter, if every Word, every sentence, every Verse, makes your heart glad as you read; if your tongue says, "Yes, Lord, thank you, praise the Lord" And if your eyes shed tears, you are different from others in the World. The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, The God of Moses, The God of David, you and Jesus! Husband and wife are related bodily! God and man are related in their hearts! The love based on fleshly desires is different! The love based on the heart is different! The relation between man and God cannot be compared to that of a man and a woman! It is not the friendship between two people! It is not the relationship between parents and their children! It is not the relationship as he belongs to any caste, any church, any organization, or any kindred! Not the relationship between the rich and the poor man! The relationship between man and God is direct! It is not crooked! There are no labyrinths! No questions! The relationship of man and God is filled with light! There is no darkness! There is no disparity, obstacles, or doubt in this relationship. It is a true relationship. There is no lie in it! This relationship cannot be created with lies! It is not based on love of money, beauty, position, education, prestige, or words. The relationship between man and God is greater than what you VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English think, what you hear, what you know, and what you expect! This relationship does not come by lending a helping hand but by giving the heart! This relationship is developed only on your knees and not by giving offering, alms, fasting, walking on bare foot for a long distance, going to places of pilgrimage, diving into the sea, or climbing up the mountains! This relationship is developed on the Word of God, not on the teaching of man, or on the writings or philosophies of man! The life on your knees, the life in reading the Word of God will show to you what your heart can't show! It helps you to hear what your ears can't hear! Your tongue will always be praising! Whatever you do will prosper! You will be blessed while you are going and coming! Whatever valuable instances you see now, whatever valuable opportunities you encounter, whatever blessings come in search of you, you won't be aware of it! You will be blessed abundantly. You will be guided so that there is no fear! All your efforts will be blessed that there will be no defeat! The foundation of the relationship between man and God is the tower of faith. It will be taller than the tower of Babel! The tower of Babel was raised up to touch the sky but it failed! But the tower of faith touches heaven! Even if you are in the midst of lot of noises or in a crowded street or in a remote village or in a town, inside your heart, you will be with God in heaven! As you go down the street there are many vehicles, noises, and vanities! Even in the midst of all these things your heart will be walking in the streets of heaven! People in your house, in your office, in the streets, in the crowds whatever they say, your heart will be praising the Lord. Abraham was different from Lot! Isaac was different from Philistine! Jacob was different from Esau! Moses was different from Korah, and Thothan! A believer was different from an unbeliever! Faith or unfaith, gain or loss, blessing or curse, closer walk with God or with man! Fear of God or the fear about eternity! Guidance or stagger! Firm or unstable! Victory or total defeat! VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English Either one of these! the path of faith or the road of unbelief! You have to decide today and right now! On whom or on what your faith is based? Is it on Jesus and on His blood? Then you are saved! The angel of death passed the doors, which had the blood on their doorposts! The angel of death will never touch the hearts, which are cleansed by the blood of Christ! The blood of Christ is Victor! That faith only conquers the world! Faith can't be purchased in hand but it should be felt in the heart! It should be proved in our day-to-day life! They conquered kingdoms through faith! Not by wrestling; not by violence; not through wars and fighting and not even through showers of bombs! Not by plans or tricks, not by spoiling each other, not by crushing others, not by hating others but through faith they conquered the kingdoms. In the place of faith, you say through Jesus! Also say through the blood of Christ! Open your heart and speak now! Say from your heart! I am victorious by the blood of Jesus from all the sensual feelings. I overcome the sinful thoughts I overcome the fear of man through faith. I overcome the devil, demon, and the whole legion of demons! In Christ I overcome through His blood and through faith I overcome! Say this often you will be victorious. If you say, "By my efficiency, my experience, my position, my fame, I can receive all - you will die! Your efficiency, your education, your degree, your money, your position, nothing will help you. If your heart cries, Jesus and His blood and all that will come to you! Whatever you take hold off, whoever comes across you, will all pass away one day! The faith, which comes in your heart, will never pass away from you! Right from your young age if you have faith on Jesus and His blood, when you get married, when you give birth to children, when you grow old and even in your deathbed you will grow stronger and stronger! Even though your body becomes weak, your faith will never become weak! Your faith will take you to paradise to the saints! It helps you to see the glory of God on judgment day. You are not reading this article accidentally. VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English The will of God only has helped you to read this! If you believe you will see the glory of God. Any one of this! Faith - Unfaith Conquers Kingdoms, - Losing what you have, Villages, no fruits in the efforts People Groups the heart becomes downtrodden life journey! Victorious life - sinful life! Stand on your knees, open your Bible, say, "I believe Jesus Christ and His blood" Say this from the bottom of your heart! Jesus will come inside you, and carry you! He will lead you in green pastures till your death. Through you the Holy Spirit will bring many tribes, many people, villages, and districts into the kingdom of God! Through you the blood of Christ will flow to others also! They conquered through faith! Victory is awaiting in Christ for you and your family who are reading this! Your Prayer, The Holy Scripture and Your heart will construct you - will make you a new creature! New Guidance, New Blessing, and new future will be yours! A PRAYER Lord Almighty, we call Thee 'Father' who has everything for us in your hands for our well-being, good health, and for all goodness. Whatever is needed all are there in your hands Lord! May our hearts reach your hands! Give us the feet of faith Lord. We have believed ourselves; we have believed many men and we have run the race with one foot. We are tired Lord! Give us both feet then Lord we want to have abundant blessings from your hands! Lord You will give more than what we need. Lord the left over was filled in 12 baskets! Lord Jesus give the feet of faith to all who live miserable, faltering lives! Lord Jesus, give them through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Lord Jesus let our family, our church, our ministry, and we be victorious through faith. Let your faith overcome the world, devil, and death. In the name of Jesus, who is the author and finisher of faith we pray, Amen.

Fallen Wheat at the mountains of Himachal Worker Manoj Bhati is comforted by the Word “LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.” (Ps. 16:5). Finka (32) is the wife of Manoj Bhati, the Himachali worker who is doing great work at Lapaniya field in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh. During the last 6 Finka with her husband and children years, she had been with her husband in the ministry wherever he went and went to coma because of Brain stroke on 28.12.2020. Though she was treated at the hospital at Pathankot for a month, the extent of her sickness did not subside. The desire of the worker that his wife will come back to normal stage did not happen. She went to be with the Lord on 31.01.2021. Her involvement in the ministry among the villages at the mountains of Himachal Pradesh are huge! Worker Manoj Bhati has the faith that when Lord will come again, He will bring back Finka with Himachali believers. All that he needed is our prayer! 6-year-old Briska, 5-year-old Rithika and one-year-old Karun need our prayers with tears! Our prayers are like fence for the workers and their families who stand in the front in the field. Please pray for them continuously. - Balwinder Singh, Coordinator.
VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English Petite feelings FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD There are no believers who have not experienced John 3:16, which is the key verse of the Holy Bible in their lives! God has done everything that He can do for mankind. That is what this verse emphasizes. The depth of the Word 'So Loved' cannot be measured! One night a Pharisee named Nicodemus had a conversation with Jesus and we see this verse John 3:16 during the mid of the reply of Jesus Christ. Two verses before the phrase 'so loved' Jesus portrays how much He loves! The portrayal is here… The Israelites were depressed during their long journey towards Canaan. During this depressing situation, they immediately blamed Moses and cursed God. This is a general weakness of mankind! But God does not desire the chosen Israelites to reply in such a manner. When we are under the great wonderful leading of God, we must not question and curse spiritual leaders and God! But here Israelites considered the food of angels a least one. They said that they hated it. So God sent fiery serpents to punish them immediately and many Israelites died. When the people saw that the Israelites are dying before their eyes in large numbers, they said that they have sinned against God and Moses. They surrendered to Moses and pleaded him to plead for them to Yahweh and protect them from the serpent. God answered to the plea of Moses and showed them a way to escape the punishment. That was the bronze serpent that was lifted on a pole. The word serpent is not a good word in the Bible starting from Genesis to Revelation. It denotes Satan, curse, sin and death. There is no relation between Satan and the Son of Man and we cannot relate them both too. Serpent is cunning and poisonous. It is on the way to take life. On the whole serpent means death! But the bronze serpent that was lifted in the wilderness was compared to Jesus. In John chapter 3 Jesus taught a sound doctrine through this comparison! Why did God ask Moses to make a serpent? He could have asked him to make a dove or the wings of an eagle. What does it mean to make a serpent? VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English The deep meaning is that the poison that was inserted in the body of mankind at the Garden of Eden will be let down when Jesus Christ who came to the world as a man was raised on the Cross as the bronze serpent! The serpent has poison, and it leads to death. But the bronze serpent that is raised in the image of serpent has no poison. But it gives life to those who look unto it. In short serpent means death. Bronze serpent means life. The serpent deceived under a tree, the good news for humanity is that Christ was raised at the Calvary like the bronze serpent that was raised in the pole to give life. He is not a sinner like the serpent that has poison. He is like the bronze serpent without poison but in the image of serpent. Jesus has taken the image of sinner but is without sin and was made a sinner to be raised on the cross. This is what Jesus shared with Nicodemus and those with him before the conversation with him in the night where we can see the key verse of the Bible. A serpent was raised by Moses, the Son of Man must also be raised so that those who believe in Him will not be destroyed but have eternal life! The meaning of the phrase 'so loved' ends when the Father has given His son on the Cross! The work of everyone during this last days is to turn all those who are dying in sin as the snake has bitten them to Christ who was raised in Calvary! During the Lenten time as we meditate on the sufferings of Jesus Christ. May you be filled with spiritual blessing as you physically suppress! Amen! - Haris Prem, Vishwa Vani Media They are growing… The ministry through Megavoice at Sakalogaon village in Tripura is fruitful. Though there are villages with illiterates and they do not have the ability to read and write, they have the rare chance to know the Word of God. The Word of God residing in the heart of people are yielding 30, 60 and 100 fold fruit. The families that sell firewood and bamboos and run their life are flourishing in the Lord. The new believer Rojaiham Reang happily shares: "the Words of Jesus has made our living stable. We are witnessing that our society is flourishing through faith in Christ. We praise the Lord for making us live. Yes, may Sakalogaon see complete blessings at all faces!" – Biswajit Jamatia. VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English e h a v e e n t e r e d Wt o y e t another Lenten days. LOVE It is the time of self- examination in the life of believers. that surpasses Churches are giving importance to these KNOWLEDGE days, they help us to - Pon Subarson meditate the sufferings of Christ, His death and resurrection and enable us to get a new life in Christ. Whenever we mediate the sufferings of Christ, it reveals the love of God over man who is a sinner and is poisonous! Yes that love is un-comprehendible. Let us mediate why and how this love is given to us. Whenever we think about cross, we must bring heaven before our eyes. We are taken by the glory, worship and praise that are given to the Lord (Rev. 15:3-4). When Jesus came to save us, He did not consider the honor and worship of the whole world. He was despised in this world (Is. 53:3). Peter denied Him when Jesus was beaten and inquired. None of the disciples were near the cross except John when Jesus was crucified. His own people shouted to crucify Him. Above all when He was forsaken by the Father, though He went through the pain when the face of the Father was hidden, He cried, 'My God, My God why have you forsaken Me' (Mk. 15:34). This reveals the deep and firm relation that He had with the Father. He had to give up this relation for our sins. This reveals the extent of our sin. The Holy Bible tells us what is not in heaven. There is no sickness, pain, cry, sorrow and lamentations. There is no death. There is no sun and moon as the glory of God shines bright. Jesus came from this happy place to where there is great joy. Because of the immeasurable love that He had on us, He did not cling to it. Rather He came to this dark place that is in great need. He came to the earth that is filled with sin to love as Holy God and also to die. What a great love He has on us! We used to imagine that heaven is the house of the Trinity God. We
VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English used to wonder about the character of the Trinity God. It is difficult to understand their nature. The Ultimate thing we know about God is, He always loves. If there is no unity among the Trinity God then they cannot love. Love has the nature of giving. Heaven is home of total unity and love. The Almighty King who is housed in the glorious heaven has become nothing. His own brothers failed to believe Him. “Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” (Matt. 8:20). The name that we gave to Christ who left the glory of Heaven to save us is not only Beelzebub but He was also considered as one among the thief. Christ suffered a lot from His birth to cross. He was mocked. He was dishonoured. He bore everything to save us. He bore everything on Him happily. We knew very well that heaven is a place without death. It is an eternal city. Those who have entered heaven will not have death. We see that Jesus Christ left this eternal place of heaven and came to earth. When angels also turn to the nature of receiving as men, death results. The angel who was created with great talent desired to take the place of God. He was pushed to the earth along with the angels who followed him (Rev. 12:3-9). Angels were pushed because of sin. But Christ came to this earth without sin. He came from the place where there is no death to give us life. “He replied: all that was not planted by my Father will be uprooted”. This is the immeasurable sacrifice that Jesus made to save us. He was mocked by His own people after being crucified at the cross! He bore everything and the first Word that He uttered from the cross was 'Father, forgive them, forgive them'. Bible Scholars say that it was not once but many times He said this. This is the highest extent of love that He had for human beings. Yes, beloved, this love cannot be comprehended. Let us remember the sufferings of Jesus had on the cross not only during these days but every day. Let us remember the glory that He left in heaven and humble ourselves. We are called to give Him praise daily. Do we have the heart to give little honour to Jesus Christ? Can we love those who are mocking at us and do not love us? During the Lenten time can we do some things what others cannot do through Christ? Let us walk through the path of Christ and proclaim Him to others. Amen.

The Lord strengthened us to build a church at Guluguda field where there are 45 believers. He led us to dedicate the church on 28.12.2020. We thank Rev. A.

May the blessings of God be upon the families and relatives who have sent the materials that are needed for the Guluguda church!

Wheat Kernel Fallen at the Hills of Rayagada Monesh Kumar Sabar worked for the Lord for 8 years. He committed himself as an offering for the Lord and so miracles and wonders took place in the name of Jesus, more than we could think and comprehend! Monesh shared the Word of God in Padampur Mandal of Rayagada jilla where there are great challenges. He worked among the Soura people group who make their living through agriculture and small business. The young worker is 38 years old and his works are greatly fruitful! He was used by the Lord to share the gospel at 6 villages that surrounds Tembaguda. This young worker was drastically disturbed on 18th January because of paralysis. He suffered from short breath on 20.01.2021 and entered into glory. The Lord must comfort the family that did not expect this situation specially the worker's wife Susanti Sabar, his son Truptirajan (18) and daughter Smutirekha (13). Pray that Lord must give protection to the field workers who serve Him in the mountainous villages. VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English I HAVE OVERCOME, YOU ALSO OVERCOME - Rev. Emmanuel Gnanaraj, Director – Prayer Network
"…But take heart! I have overcome the world” Let us remember these final words of Lord Jesus. It was the time when our Lord Jesus Christ was about to complete His race on earth. These were the final conversation with the people who were with Him in the ministry for the past 3 ½ years. Jesus had the last supper with His disciples at the Upper Room. He washed the feet of His disciple. Before carrying the cross to Golgotha, He spoke these last words with His disciples when He was walking to the Garden of Gethsemane when He bore the sin over Him. It is the first verse of John 17 which is recorded as the prayer of the High Priest. The conversation of Jesus with disciples is recorded in John 13:33 to 16:33. Matthew 26:30 makes it clear that after they had sung the hymn of praise before they went to Mount of Olives. Beloved, what does Jesus teach to His disciples and to us through this last conversation? He started the conversation not to be worried and ends saying but take heart. He said in John14:27 that He has left peace for us. Do you know the truth why He said these things in John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.” The truth is you will have tribulations in the world. What does the Bible call as tribulation? There are troubles that we need to encounter. He asks us to look at life to encounter them. He has not alone asked to fight back, to fight against the wave but also to overcome. Before the death, He said that He has overcome and so take heart. After resurrection, the final words that He said for the angels of the seven churches was those who 'Overcame'. The words of Jesus who overcame death said that the troubles and tribulations are to overcome. How did the saints of the Old and New Testament see the troubles? The Psalmist says in Psalm 84 “As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs;” Psalm 119: 67 & 71 says “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word….It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees". Apostle Paul shares in 2 Corinthians 1: 8 about the troubles and problems in his body as “We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.” He said in 2 Corinthians 7:5 “…conflicts on the outside, fears within.” Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4:17 “ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. “The word trouble can be temptation,
VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English problem, punishment, test and weary. Jesus said in Matthew 18:7 “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come,” James said in chapter 1:2 “Blessed is the man who preserves under trail”. In the list of the heroes of faith, Joseph, Daniel, his friends and Job went through the path of trials. Why do we face trials? Jesus was tempted and so was Job and we also. What is the need of temptation? Today, people are not interested to be tempted. They do not want to swim against the wave. Many people desire to live without troubles. 2 Corinthians 13:5&6 say “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you - unless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.” How can we pass without passing the test? We are tempted “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything (James 1:4). 2 Corinthians 1:4 says “who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” What should we do in trouble? We must fight back. We must not be weary. We must not lose. This the way the Bible trains us to meet life. But it is important to know as to which troubles and test must be handled in what manner. Let us fight to win the world, flesh and Satan. “For everything in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life comes not from the Father but from the world. “ (1 John 2:16). Jesus won and we will also win. Let us resist Satan (James 4:7). Let us not give room for Satan (Eph. 4:27). How to fight against troubles? We must not be afraid of the troubles of Satan. He is the evil one who has lost. His trick is to make us afraid. But we believers fail at this. The news of the world are making us afraid. We lament with others thinking what would happen. We never look at Jesus. We never believe the One who said 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'. We look for the help of men whether they would help us. We forget to believe the Words of God. Why? We even lament saying that God has forsaken us. Jesus questions us of our faith. He asks us to have faith on Him. If you believe the Word of God more than the news from the world, you will be patient. You will believe and obey His Word. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). Commit yourself under the mighty hand of God until He lifts you up. What is His mighty hand? The hand of the father is strong when the child is moving to do something that is unnecessary and wrong. If the child abides with the grip of the father then there is health and protection. If it rebels then there is pain. If it loses the grip then there is danger and destruction. We need faith for that obedience. “This is the victory that has overcome VishwaVani Samarpan / March 2021 - English the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). “For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life" (2 Corinthians 5:4). What will a victorious person get? Jesus reveals 7 things to be victorious (Revelation 2 & 3). James writes “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12). Paul sings the song of victory "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (2 Tim 4:7&8). Jesus said 'Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.' (Rev. 2:10). Only the victor can get a crown that last forever (1 Corinthians 9:25) and a crown that will never fade away (1 Peter 5:4)! Do you want to be victorious? Run a good race. For that we need faith. Paul writes to Timothy saying “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses” (1 Tim. 6:12). 'There are troubles in this world. But take heart. I have overcome the world. You can also overcome' says the Lord. Faith will give us victory! COME AND SEE THE WORKS OF THE LORD! Though I was in contact with Vishwa Vani Ministries for the past 5 years, this was the first time, I had been to the mission fields and saw the works of the Lord. It is the grace of God, that I and my mother from Dharwad-Karnataka attended the church dedication service at Ghataparthi field! We saw with our own eyes, the field workers and their families who share the love of Jesus Christ whole heartedly, their love, simple lifestyle, ministry approach and hospitality. Our hearts were filled with praise. We were happy to listen to the witness of new believers. The Holy Spirit instructed the heart of my mother Mrs. Agnes Ramathal to complete the construction of the Mission Coordinating Center at Chellakere. This building would be soon dedicated to the glory of God and for the blessings of ministry in unreached region. The Living Water that flows from it will reach the dry villages and quench the thirst of the thirsty souls. The kingdom of God will grow. Hallelujah! – Ramathal's family.

His job was to foretell for the villagers at the mountains of Upper Tumin in South Sikkim and do black magic for them. There was a gathering always at the house of Pempa. but he was far from peace! Though his pocket was full, his heart was empty without peace and was the house of evil spirit! All at home had the habit to take alcohol. His own brother and mother passed away as they were addicted to drugs and his father was also battling with mental illness. Pempa came to know Jesus through the field worker Simon Lepcha, who went to the village to share the gospel. After listening to the gospel, he gave up black magic. He received the peace that the world cannot give and he is born again in Jesus. Pempa has decided to live for Jesus and so his future must grow in Him. His father's sickness must be changed in Jesus.
