Our family (excluding children) observes Lent and as of today 25 days have passed by. 25 days remain. We are half way through Lent. By Grace of God, we are members of an active prayer group in the UAE and lot of blessings was showered upon the prayer group during last one year. Some of the noteworthy events are
- a prayer group member was electrocuted in his work place from a high-voltage source. He fell unconscious and as he was taken to hospital in the ambulance, he was written off as dead. Due to the power of prayers, at hospital he came back to life miraculously to the surprise of doctors.
- another member was diagnosed with a severe disease and was asked to rush to India for a surgery as surgery in the UAE was costly. But this would have affected his job. So he turned to prayer and during the next diagnosis, to the surprise of the doctors, the disease vanished. This is some thing similar that happened to me in Saudi Arabia (see the blog ' the prayer that produced results')
More blessings in personal life can be narrated. When I fulfilled my dream of starting my own consulting & business, my wife was nervous. Will it be successful? She heard lot of horror stories of failure of start-ups!! However, our prayers were answered and from the first month on wards, the average monthly net profit (cash profit) from consulting & related activities exceeded (!) the fixed salary I used to get as an employee. Also I got a business deal that ensured steady cash flow since the beginning of the consulting & related activities. It is equivalent to 'Manna' showered upon Israelites by Almighty during around BC 1200- BC 1500 era when they set out from Egypt to the promised land.
We are proud of being strong believers and followers of Jesus Christ. His love to his favourite creation on earth - humans is evident. He sacrificed himself for mankind and it is that love that resulted in a request that 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do' (Luke 23:34:)'
Who is the Father stated in Luke 23:34? The answer is everywhere in Bible. Jesus and Father are one. John 10:30. (Such words confuses some human beings - at the outset we shall know and acknowledge the limitations of human intelligence & nature because in human race 'fathers and sons are different. The difference between human fathers and sons are so much that sometimes we can hear stories of hatred, quarrel, etc between human fathers and sons).
I tremble in my heart & soul as I write these words in the blog. I am discussing something that belongs to Creator of Universe (if not several universes) and this is beyond my capacity and hence I pray to Almighty that what I write here be reflective of real facts.
Let us thank for the immense mercy & love He has showered upon us, mankind.
Praise the Lord.
