ance of fire in an abounding manner this month. No man or woman will
be able to stop it. No devil will be able to hinder it. The only way by
which this will be possible, is for us to put on this man created in the image of
God.
Several years ago, a pastor was zealously working towards making all the
believers in his church to be saved and become servants of God. One day, the
time came for him to deliver the message. But he did not turn up. On the
contrary, a masked terrorist with a gun in his hand suddenly barged into the
church and said, “I am going to shoot down all of you! How many of you are
willing to die for Jesus? Those willing to do so, stand up!” Immediately, ten of
them amongst the 200 gathered there stood up. The rest were scared and lay
on the floor. Then the terrorist removed his mask. Only then it was revealed
that he was their pastor who had come in disguise. He became sorrowful and
said to his church congregation, “You are all liars. You sing on the stage that you
would give your life for the Lord but when troubles arise, your hypocrisy is
revealed.”

Loving Father,
I thank and praise You for Your unconditional love towards me. You really care for me and I believe that You are
a prayer answering God. I come before You with an expectant and humble heart. Your word says that You will never
leave me nor forsake me.
Jesus, I ask You to forgive all my sins and shortcomings and cleanse me with Your blood which You shed for me
on the cross. Thank You for accepting me as Your child. Even now, as I prepare for the exams, I ask You to bless all my
preparations. As Your word says, “Your beginning will seem humble, your future will be so prosperous,” I claim this
promise for my examinations.
Dear Lord, You are the source of all wisdom and knowledge. I ask You to fill me with Your wisdom and help me
to focus on my studies without getting distracted by friends or habits. As You gave ten times wisdom to Daniel in
the Bible, remember me and guide me. You said, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will
counsel you and watch over you.” I need Your guidance as I sit for the examinations.
Grant me sharp memory so that I will be able to remember whatever I study now and I will be able to recollect
when I sit for the examinations. Lord Jesus, hold my hand when I write my examinations and help me to answer every
question correctly. Help me to write the answers legibly and also within the given time. Take away all my worries, fear
and anxiety and fill my heart with Your peace. Lord, I thank You for hearing my prayer and I believe that this will be a
new beginning for victory in my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

married in September 2008 and my wife conceived the very next month itself. We went for a medical
check-up and the growth of the baby was normal. By God’s grace my wife delivered a healthy baby at the
right time. Everything was going good. After six months, we were heading towards Avadi from Tambaram
to erect a fence around our plot. Close to 7:00 pm I was riding the motorcycle and my wife was seated
behind me carrying our six month old baby. The vehicle hit a pothole unknowingly and we fell down on
the new bypass road. Our six month old baby rolled away from my wife. My wife became unconscious as
she fell down and later we found out that she fractured her waist. I injured my legs but still I managed to
call the ambulance and we were all taken to the hospital. I didn’t know at that moment what I should do
further. My wife was taken on a stretcher as she held the baby in her arms. While she was going into the
hospital she asked, “Where am I? Who are you? What happened to me?” She woke up again from the
unconscious state and repeated the same things. I could not understand anything and I just got fed up
thinking that I’m nothing as I could do nothing. As she regained consciousness she told me she actually
thought that she would not live as she had seen the baby’s state. I was relentlessly praying that nothing
should happen to her as she got a fracture. The doctors also said there was nothing to worry about the
baby. There was just a blood clot in the head and it would soon recover. They said if the baby was a little
older, it might have suffered a graver injury. But I could not believe this for the head had got a bigger

Lord strengthens you, and He is delivering you from the problem you have on your head and strengthens
you.” We also used to follow every prayer offered after the message. And on that day as he called our

I am a Jesus Calls Evangelist. My wife, Mrs. Manola, and I work at the North-Eastern Hill University. We
are blessed with two daughters, Sharon and Nazrin. Both of them are Young Partners. Even though we
were blessed with very good jobs, we could not build our own house. For more than10 years we lived
in different rented houses and shifting the house regularly was painful and disturbing. As a family, we
attended the Shillong Prayer Festival in 2016. In that meeting Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prayed for us personally
and afterwards both of us were blessed with promotions in our jobs. In a Jesus Calls TV program I heard
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran say, “Build God’s house and God will build your house”. So I contributed to the Prayer
Tower Building Fund and sent an email to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran requesting prayer for a house. I received
a reply from him with the following Bible verse ‘God will establish your house’ - II Samuel 7:11. Soon the
Lord opened a door and we could purchase a house in the heart of Shillong which cost us Rs 80 Lakhs.
The Lord, also blessed us with two other plots of land in Shillong. Our daughters, Sharon and Nazrin
excel in studies as well as in sports. Sharon is representing the Junior Basketball team for the state of
Meghalaya. Not only that, both of them are blessed with very good voice. They travel with me to different
Jesus Calls events to lead the worship.We have partnered with Jesus Calls through the ‘Family Blessing
Plan’, through SEESHA and through Israel Prayer Tower. Praise the Lord!
