Let those who have ears hear!

I thank God for His amazing love for us. Today we went shopping to buy a sound system for the church. Pastor Puran added this request later and there was little time for us to collect the finances. But God answered the prayer of Christians in Nepal and Russia. We came up to the pastor and said that God had provided the finances for the sound system. You should have seen the pastor's face! This sincere brother couldn't keep a smile off his face. The church has been praying about it and waiting for a long time. Brothers and sisters, now they'll have quality sound worship and when the Word is preached in Nepalese everyone around will hear. The system cost 45 thousand Nepalese rupees. Today at our morning Bible study we read a wonderful passage in 1 Cor.9:19-27 - “Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible”. We are free in Christ but we enslave ourselves for the Gospel. We realize that God has given us freedom not in order for us to please our flesh but so that we could serve Him in Spirit and in truth. We can enslave ourselves to the desires that bear no fruit in the Kingdom of God or we can fast one day a week and enslave our flesh and use the money we would have “eaten up” to support a minister in Nepal or India. A lot of you who are reading our blog have done something like it – you've refused yourself something to give up the money for the work of God. I encourage you to enslave yourself for the sake of Christ shining in people's hearts. Praise God! And thank you on behalf of pastor Puran and the church.
