Psalm 98;1

Psalm 98;1 says O sing unto the Lord a new song for He has done marvelous things,His right hand and His holy arm hath gotten Him the victory.

I like that chorus and is true in my life .Today was a peaceful day altho I worked really hard I was joyful in the Lord. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

The evening meeting was such a joy. Bro Augustine Jebakumar was the speaker.He is from South India but has been doing ministry in Bihar state since the past 35 years.Read about his ministry on the link I have posted.

He is a fiery speaker and laces his messages with a good deal of humor. He was a mechanical engineer but resigned from his job to serve the Lord. His native language is Tamil but he went to a Hindi speaking area.

There he has established 2000 congregations, set up schools, technical training centers and an orphanage for 1500 children.

He taught us a song he learnt from Ethiopian refugees in Yemen, translated in Hindi.And insisted that we do the Ethiopian dance -like action with it as it a weight reducing exercise!

His message was about who we are in Christ.

( A snake charmer displaying his wares in our garden)

When his son was about 2 years old , he was bitten by a snake.When they caught the snake and killed it a man walked by and said; Oh this is the snake which bit the boy, don 't worry no snake can ever harm him. And its true, now this young man can handle snakes with ease and he had killed many.Bro J was joking , he said when his son comes home from college , snakes start visiting their house.

One day Bro J returned home from one of his speaking engagements to find a little boy from his orphanage holding up a dead snake at the end of a stick.On being asked who killed it, the boy said he killed it. But another boy who was with him said; No Uncle, he did not kill it, your son killed it.

But the little fellow with the trophy was not to be shaken, he said;Big brother struck it on the head but his tail was still twitching and so I struck it and killed it.

Bro J said he got a spiritual lesson from there.Jesus crushed Satan 's head with His victory on the cross.But God has allowed Satan to remain on earth and twitch his tail so to speak.And it is the responsibility of us believers, the church to strike a blow at the twitching tail of Satan - sin in our lives and in the world and that 's how we will be overcomers.

I want to be an overcomer so I can receive my crown of life.
