The choice is yours to make

The choice is yours to make

When God spoke to the Israelites through Moses and urged them to choose life and prosperity over death and destruction (Deut. 30:11-30), he was fully aware of his sovereignty.  But this sovereign God honored his people so much that he made them partners in creating the best possible life.  This partnership began in the Garden of Eden.  The sovereign God punished man for their disobedience instead of overruling man's actions because of his sovereignty; how can humans be held accountable for their actions in the world of a sovereign God?  Yet at the same time out of his sovereignty, he made the clothes of skins and cast them out of the Garden so that man could have a second chance in creating the best possible life.

This same sovereign God who punished Adam and Eve for their disobedience is also the sovereign God who rewards those who seek him diligently (Heb. 11:6) even though he grants grace for life to go on even if we do not seek him diligently.

Therefore, as believers who claim to be the children of this sovereign God, let us seek him diligently.  In seeking him diligently, let us not forget that our faith matters.  The writer of Hebrews in 11:6 says "it is impossible to please God without faith" and according to Jesus "everything is possible for him who believes" (Mark 9:23).  Paul takes this a step further by claiming "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil. 4:13).  We could go on and on to see how Bible values the attitude of faith in matters of life in this world and also for the world to come.

I am fully aware that many of us struggle in life from one way or the other.  Some of these struggles have been there for a long period of time and now it appears as if you will never be able to overcome them.  But I want to encourage you by saying that there is absolutely nothing beyond God's ability to change or transform.  When you read statements like this, it makes you throw out, right? But I tell you, when I used to hear or read a statement like this, that is how I used to feel when I was going through my struggles in life.  But early in life I made Mark 9:23 the verse of my life and even when I saw the impossibilities surrounding my life, I kept on repeating and believing that promise along with others that spoke to my struggles.  After years of standing on these verses, I can testify to you that Jesus means what he said.  The tree did dry from the bottom at Jesus' words (Mark 11)!

So, if you are struggling in your health, keep believing and speaking the promises of healing.  If you are struggling in your finances, keep believing and speaking the promises of God's provision.  If you are struggling in your marriage and family, keep believing and speaking God's promises of a happy and blessed home.  If you are struggling with certain sins that beset your walk with God, keep believing and speaking the promises of God's forgiveness and complete victory in Christ.  If you are struggling with some kinds of addictions, keep believing and speaking the promises of God's ability to set you free from all bondage.  If you are struggling with broken relationships and hurt, keep believing and speaking the promises of God's healing and restoration in which even your enemies will come to live in peace with you.  If you are struggling with the loss of hopes and dreams, keep believing and speaking in God's ability to restore the years locusts have eaten from your life; keep believing and speaking God's ability to make all things new.  Whatever may be the struggle…never lower your faith in God's ability to do the impossible in the face of seeming impossibility!

The choice is yours to believe and dream even when there is no evidence and if you are a constant believer and speaker of God's promises, you will look back and praise the Lord like never before when you begin to see him act on your behalf.  You will finally say "I never thought this was possible…but God"!   

Or, you can choose not to believe in God's promises and allow your struggles to dictate the course of your life until it ends in losses and misery of all kinds only to realize how much you missed while on earth.  You hoped and wished for a better day but that day never came, and now you stand before the Lord trying to tell him what went wrong with you while on earth!  As you stand before the Lord in the portals of glory; your mind rushes back to earth and…

Church attendance could have been much more joyful.  Worship could have been a delight.  Prayer could have been a pleasure.  Charity could have been a treasure.  Marriage could have been a paradise.  Friendships could have been richer and deeper.  Health could have been robust.  Material life could have been a blessing.  The journey through earth could have been an amazing adventure and discovery.  But all those amazing possibilities were squandered because you chose to allow the struggles to dictate our stay on earth instead of God's promises.

That is why, Moses the man of God commanded Israelites to make up their minds to choose life and prosperity by "loving God" by "walking in his ways" and "keeping his commands and decrees" (Deut. 30:15).  Saint John sums up Moses' instructions in two commandments; 1) believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and 2) love each other (1John 3:23).  Faith and love will see us through the struggles of this life.  Therefore, let us choose faith and love and in doing so, we will inherit life and prosperity!

Motives in Ministering the Needy and the Poor

In 1985, when I first heard the call of God for the ministry, I was working in a pastor's house as his domestic helper.  I worked morning and evening so that I could attend school during the day time (was preparing for SLC).  I had one pair of pants given by the pastor and I wore them whole week no matter how dirty they were; I only washed them in weekends.  In the summer of 1986 there was a student camp held in Putalisadak Church in Kathmandu, and the pastor of Calvary Church in Dhangadi (I didn't know there existed another church in that town) offered to pay for me if I was interested to join the camp.  But I had no wearable shirt (all the while having parents who had everything but due to my troubled childhood, I had left home).  When I told the pastor I worked for about my trip to Kathmandu, he was kind enough to give me a red and white stripped Addidas T-shirt; it was the best gift I had ever received.  With the help of Calvary Church, I joined the camp; that was the first time I visited Kathmandu.  There was one free day and I walked (with friend Jaya Dewan) from Sanepa to all the way to New Road and back on foot because I wanted to discover the place.  The last meeting of the camp was held in Putalisadak Church and the preacher was Pastor Nabin Sunwar.  I was sitting on the left side of the aisles near the back door; may be the second last bench.  The sermon was based upon the life of young Timothy and his call to the ministry.  As the sermon ended and Pastor Nabin gave an alter call to find if there was anyone who would be willing to surrender his life for the work of the ministry.  Long before the alter call, my heart was pounding because the first time I had heard God call me, I had told him that I was a poor man with no ability.  I didn't even know how to speak in Nepali (coming from Doti) and therefore, God should not waste his time on a person like me, and I thought God understood excuses and had left me.  But that night in Putalisadak Church, as Pastor Nabin was preaching, the same voice I had heard some months before when I was praying in the jungle near Dhangadi began to vibrate in my ears.  As the worship leader started the song "I have decided to follow Jesus", I looked around from the back bench to see if anyone was responding but saw no one moving.  The pastor never stopped calling us to be bold and stand up.  A great struggle began to take place within my heart.  One mind told me to stand up and the other told me to be quiet and sit there.  As the pounding of my heart became unbearable, I didn't realize that I was already standing and the leaders had come around me and were praying out loud placing their hands on my head and shoulders.  My Addidas T-shirt was fully wet with sweat but as the meeting ended, I had a new spring in my feet.  I had surrendered my life for whatever God wanted; it was a great relief for me to hand over my life into his hands.  By the time I returned Dhangadi, my life had been radically changed and I had found the purpose of my existence.  I began to share the gospel with anyone and everywhere regardless of the danger of persecution.

While in the student camp, someone had given me a small monetary gift and I was able to buy a new pair of Jeans; and I thought I was a pretty rich guy with a new pair of jeans and an Addidas T-shirt!  Unfortunately when I returned to Dhangadi, the pastor who gave me that T asked me to return it back because it did not match for a poor man like me to wear a branded piece; it was too expensive item for me to wear!  I washed and handed him the T-Shirt.

That is when it hit me that Jesus on purpose began his mission by preaching the good news to the poor.  He came to a person like me, he began his preaching ministry by thinking about people like me and I found myself as the favorite of Jesus.  My poverty, humiliation, and the needs drove me to the feet of Jesus in such a way that I got to discover him from my early life as a believer.  I not only discovered who he was, I also discovered that he loves to meet our needs in amazing ways.  The joy of receiving from God is a thousand fold greater than receiving from man and ever since then, I have always made it a point to ask the donors these two questions; "Do you give me because you feel pity for me as a poor man or do you give me because God has told you to give?"  Early in life I made up my mind to live by faith and dignity than to live in someone's pity. I rather be a door keeper in the house of my God!

After SLC (equivalent of high school diploma), the Lord opened the door for me to teach in a private school (Aisworya Vidhya Niketan, Dhangadi) and discovered that there is a great dignity to earn your own bread and not live on someone's pity.  There is a great sense of security in knowing that you have a steady source of income.  As I continued to teach there, I developed some of the lasting friendships and began to envision a future where I would spend the rest of my life in a teaching profession.  Along with the friends teaching there, we even thought about starting our own private school (one of those friends did begin the school and today it is one of the leading schools in the far west Nepal, Stepping Stone English Secondary School).  With friends and possible future, I had decided to serve the Lord by sharing the gospel in whatever way I can.  

As I was settling down into my little world, God once again rocked my world from the bottom up.  I experienced an amazing filling of the Holy Spirit in one of the nights alone in my room and the little congregation that I was part of was dead against such a thing called baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.  To make matter worse, the leader claimed the church property and I stood against it, but the power of money is such that the whole church sided with the pastor who captured church property and I was expelled from there.  The matter got even worse for my life because the principal of the school where I was teaching was the member of that little church.  Soon, this Christian Brother from Darjeeling began to look for excuses to punish me for speaking in tongues and opposing the church property capture.  He got the best possible weapon to use against me.  He heard that I had been sharing the gospel with students and fellow teachers.  He found out that I had even handed out Christian literature and armed with those evidences, he called me to his office and gave me two alternatives; either I go to jail for three years for preaching the gospel or leave the school voluntarily without receiving the two months pay that was due (in those days teachers were paid in advance for two months just before the long summer break).  All my dreams came crashing down; I had just taken admission for the university and had rented a room for myself; life was about to get normal for the first time in my 18 years of existence.  All of a sudden I was back into the square one.  Instead of heading to jail for three years, I forfeited my two months salary into the hands of this Christian Brother and opted to quit my job.

As I walked out of that school, I was so mad at God, and even began to doubt whether I had made a mistake of believing.  Because I had begun to see my own future, I had allowed the call of God to go deem from my memory. I had justified my decision by thinking that I am sharing the gospel with as many people as I can.  I wasn't aware that in doing so I had begun to push the vivid call of God at the back of my head.  A year earlier I was so delighted for the call of God in my life and was willing to do anything but a year later; I wasn't sure as what to do with that.  And now, after these bitter experiences, I began to question whether God really cared for me.

Oblivious to my carnal mind, God was working behind the scene.  In one of those days of confusion, I met a Christian brother (Deepak Acharya, those days he was known by the name Bhola) that I had not met for a long time.  Noticing a disturbing spirit within me, he took me to a park (Dhangadi Park was beautiful in those days); we spent a couple of hours together and finally he led me to his pastor's house.  This was the same pastor who had made it possible for me to join the student camp a year earlier but I did not know him personally.  That day when we met Pastor Joseph Shrestha, after Bhola explained my situation, he asked me directly "do you want to serve God?"  Without any hesitation, I said "yes".  Then he said, "We have about 7 members in our church and we cannot give you the salary you had been receiving from the school, but if you want to serve God, we will give you 300 rupees a month (today's equivalent of 4US$).  God will provide the rest if you really want to serve him".  I accepted his offer of 4$ a month and began my full time ministry for the first time in 1987.  This church met in a small hut beside a filthy stream that ran through the town with all its sewage; across the stream was Muslim cemetery and I was told to live there (once a while brother Bhola also lived there).  There were no rooms, it was just about 10x15 feet hut and on the Lord's Day I had to fold my belongings and keep them in one corner so that there was room enough for the seven members to sit and worship. 

The weather in Dhangadi is very hot, it is normal to have above 38 degree Celsius.  On one hot Saturday after worship, everyone had left the church and I was sweeping the dirty floor of the church to set my stuff back again and a sense of self pity came over me.  While I was sweeping the floor, my tears began to fall and I said, "Lord why did you bring me to a place like this, I have no money to buy enough food and I have to live in a hut like this?"  As I asked the Lord that question, I felt as if someone struck me on my right ear, but there was none and soon I heard a deep voice within my spirit saying "didn't you pray to me a year earlier asking for a place to serve me even if it is to sweep the floor?"  That was it; that question brought back all the memory of God calling me into the ministry and for the first time I understood that God hears my prayers; he keeps records of them and in his own timing he answers.  A year earlier, before I started to work in that school as a teacher, I had asked God to provide a place to serve him even if it is through sweeping the floor and here I was doing exactly what I had asked him for me.  Right there in that little hut, all by myself, asked God's forgiveness for feeling like that and God began to reveal to me his intentions of using Christians brothers who would kick me out of their fellowship, a Christian brother who would kick me out of my job so that I would not be so comfortable in the world.  Even my troubled childhood and rejection by family made perfect sense in the sovereign plan of God.  Since that day, there has not been a day of regret in serving the Lord, if there is regret it is because of my own sinfulness and unfaithfulness.  There is regret only in the areas where I wish I had been more in tune with the Spirit of God in dealing with people, in dealing with believers and in dealing with myself.  I wish I walked more in fellowship with the Spirit than walking in the flesh. But there is not a day of regret for entering the ministry, not a day of regret of doing anything for the Lord. 

Early in my life, when in the eyes of one brother I was not fit to wear a branded T-shirt due to my poverty, I saw how the church land and building was captured by the individuals who were the leaders.  When I saw that, I made this promise to God; "Lord if ever I am able to earn or money falls in my hands, before I build my house, I wish to build a house for you".  The Lord has enabled me to fulfill that promise with the birth and growth of Kathmandu Hope Church. 

Even as the Lord brought that wish to fulfillment, there had also been a wish and that is to care for the orphans and the needy.  Every time I see a person in need, it breaks my heart.  And in God's grace, he gave me the kind of wife who is absolutely willing to live on nothing; who is willing to share even when we have nothing left for us.  From the day we married, we remember caring for all kinds of people with the best of our ability.  We have never hesitated to live with zero balance in our bank or pockets because when we were in need, God miraculously provided for our needs.  Seeing a smile in the face of a needy brother or sister is a delight and a reward from the Lord himself.  We praise God for making us his instruments in meeting many people's need over the years in one way or the other.  

But my short stint of ministry with a foreign missionary in 1993 taught me lessons that I find hard to ignore.  The missionary ran an orphanage.  But the condition of the children and the staffs in that orphanage told a different story from what it looked like from the outside.  As I studied many other similar ministries, I found it was a common trend to have orphanage along with the church so that you get to ask for donation easily.  When you present the face of a destitute child, there is no decent human being who would not be willing to part with few dollars for the sake of such a child. 

By observing the methods of the missionary and some other Nepali pastors who ran orphanages along with their churches; it became clear to me that there was the appearance of godliness and charity, but the real motivation for these owners of the orphanages and ministries was to make a good living in the context of caring for the needy.  In such a context, I learned that if I have to obey the word of God in caring for the needy, the orphans and the widows, I must do it by my own means instead of begging for them or in their names.  The local church in Nepal has to learn how to take care of the needy and the orphans on its own without looking for external donations.  Care for the orphans and the widows must be paramount and not the managers' livelihood.  I understood that God would not hold us responsible for not taking care of the needy if we don't have the resources.  He is going to hold us responsible on the basis of our motivation; the condition of the heart matters.  I must be compassionate regardless of whether I get donations or not.  If our church is having a wonderful orphanage with plenty of money flowing from abroad so that many people can get jobs and children can have good future; will that be our church's doing?  Can we say to ourselves "we care for the needy and the orphans and the widows?"  While I am not against receiving the external support for the needs like orphanage, what I am trying to say is that unless I am sacrificing for the needy and the orphans; the Lord will not overlook my responsibility because I am channeling huge donation.  I understood that God does not need me to be an agent of charity, a broker who connects the orphans and the donors and gets commission for doing that.  If I do that, that is not charity; it is a business.  While there is so much good in such business; many children will have better future and many people will get jobs in these poorer countries but in the eyes of God that would not be considered a true religion as James talks about. 

In order to practice the true biblical religion, Nepali Church needs to do the charitable works on its own will and by its own resources.  When the local resources are not enough, then God will speak to the external donors as well, but the real initiative to support the needy must come from the heart of the local church.  They must think of beginning orphanages and elderly homes because of the love of God and the commandment of Jesus Christ to take care of the needy and the weak; it should not be done with the intention of making money as many NGOs and INGOs are doing.

For many years, Hope Church in Kathmandu wanted to begin a place where we would help these needy members, but due to our own limitations, we could not.  Because we could not start a home, we helped our needy members in other ways.  But this year, we have decided to go ahead in taking care of the limited number of needy children by the resources we will generate from our church members.  As we decided to go ahead with this project; the devil has tried hard to stop such a work.  One of our own Christian brothers appears to have been not happy with our approach to ministry because we could not meet his demands, and he threatened to destroy the work as well as the person who would be leading that Children's home.  Through internet, telephone and in person he threatened our leader who was over that project and we had to file for a police protection against his threat.   For the time being he has agreed to stop his threats due to the police pressure, but the Bible is clear that anyone who decides to live godly life will face persecution.  Our church has now really come of age and has decided that it is our duty to look after the poor and the needy with our own resources.  Our leaders have embraced our vision that Charity and mission work is not for profit but it should be done in the spirit of commitment and sacrifice.  It is time for the church in Nepal to re-think some of the mission strategies.  Caring for the needy should not be bait for profit; neither should it be a burden but a delight because God calls us to take care of the needy and the poor.  There is no dignity in poverty and we as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ need to take the word of God seriously and do everything we can to take care of the weak members of our society with a sacrificial love and respect.  Serving God and caring for the needy ought to go hand in hand and with the right motives; with love and compassion and not for greed.

The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Pastor

The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Pastor

Your Marriage Can Always Be Better Than What It Is Now!

The harsh winter is about to bid us farewell and there is sign of life everywhere; Spring is around the corner and my wife and I are excited to trace back our paths across some of the mountains/rivers in and around the city of Daejeon.
Walking and hiking has
become one of our best forms of recreation.
When we were younger, we didn't realize how important it is to keep our bodies in shape; we thought walking for hours is a waste of time.  Working, studying and ministering took all our times and we hardly had time for recreation, family and for leisure.  In fact, taking time for our personal benefit used to bring some kind of guilt; we thought we are selfish to take time for ourselves while there are people who are hurting, there is work to be done, there is a book to be read, there is a paper to be written and deadline to be met.

But when we started to climb the ladder of forties, we began to feel that our size is increasing and strength disappearing; one day my wife exclaimed "look at my weight!", I am ---- pounds more than what I am supposed to be!"  As I saw, it was a shock to know that she had left me behind in this area!  So, about three years ago, we began our campaign against this enemy called weight and together we have vanquished the foe from our territory.

But as we ventured into the quest of maintaining good health; the thing we discovered has surpassed all our expectations (even imagination).  Prior to this venture, we strongly believed that ours was a marriage made in heaven and we have got all that what it means to have a fulfilled marriage.  Little did we realize that as we stepped on the walking trails every weekend for 5-7 hours (depending which course we took), we were also stepping into a different dimension of love and marriage that we had never discovered before.  After 20 years of marriage we have now understood what it means to say "I love my wife/husband more than when I first fell in love".  

My advise to those who are younger than us or who find their marriage becoming monotonous; try to take time off one day in a week and find something that interests both and do it together and if you love walking or hiking...that is the best. I would give up anything on Saturday in order to hold my wife's hand and walk along the trails for hours!

He knows my name

God is faithful to Keep us!

1Thessalonians 5:24

The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it!

Dear friends,

Quite often you have heard the saying, "attitude is everything", and to some extent it is true.  Our perception of a certain reality can determine the kind of response we will have toward that reality.  For example, Joshua Bell playing Beethoven with his 3.5 million dollar violin in a Washington D.C. subway station and getting no attention from the public is a widely circulated story in the internet.  It is reported that in 45 minutes of his playing, he made 32$ with no one stopping by to listen/see this world famous musician playing the world famous music with one of the most expensive violins in the world.  Three days before he played in that subway station, his concert hall was full, each seat costing nearly a 100$; but there he stood by a trashcan in that station , playing for 45 minutes and no one bothering to listen…all because the public has a certain perception toward a street musician. 

This can also be true when it comes to our relationship with God.  How we approach him depends on our perception of him and that will also spill over into how we perceive suffering in this world.  There is no denying that life comes with fair share of pain and sorrow; disappointments and failures for everyone who has lived enough in this world.  Faith and trust in a loving God seem absurd when life becomes an uphill battle of unexplainable suffering and sorrow.  But if we pause and think the alternative to faith and trust in a loving God is rather more frightening and terrifying…without the loving embrace of a God who promises to carry us on when we no longer can bear, there is no better hope either.  Therefore, as Paul tells the Thessalonians believers that the one who calls us is also faithful in keeping us, let us also look to him who is able to keep us in times of difficulties and hardships.  Like the Psalmist (Ps. 23), let's believe that God is with us even if we have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.  Let's believe that God is able to protect us, provide for us and restore our dignity in the face of our foes and friends who might have ridden us off.  God is able to keep us!

Life Goes On

Lately I have been occupied with several things, often feel that time is slipping out of my hands.  Not just the time, the months, the years, and even the decades have gone bye.  The sense of belonging to a younger generation has long left me.  The role models that I had looked up to for the inspiration and strength have begun to depart and it scares me to hear someone say "you are my role model"!  When I entered the ministry, I was in my late teen years, got married in mid-twenties, and without much warning, here I stand staring at the soon approaching mountain of fifty.  Seeing our son prepare for the university compels me to finish up my last remaining school post.  When the day comes, and it has already come, when our son says goodbye for his college, me and my wife will have to begin a new beginning, new journey that we are totally unprepared for.  For the last 19 years, three of us have been the only family members we spent most of our time with.  I left my family when Christ found me, and my wife left her family the day I found her, and our son arrived two years later.  Ever since, three of us have lived, laughed, cried and rejoiced together.  Faced unusual circumstances of life together; have over come dark days and taken advantages of the bright ones together.  But now, we have come to a crossroad once again; it is still some months away, but I have already begun to feel the quietness and the emptiness in the house when he would finally venture out to find his own destiny; destiny that God has prepared for him. 

Life goes on, children get older, we get older, and I am getting older too is the song by the Dixie Chicks that describes how we are afraid of changes.  Well, I am not afraid of changes, but am just amazed and surprised at the fact that we have arrived here so soon, so without warning; it does not get to my mind that I have been married for 20 years, it feels like yesterday.  Of course early on life, I had made up my mind to live each day as it comes and I am glad that I made that decision.  Yes there are regrets too and given the chance I would like to change a few things but as a whole I would walk the same road all over again.  One thing is sure that twenty years down the road, there will also be some regrets but I determine to make fewer mistakes and make life more fulfilling each day.  Time goes on, life goes on, and once it is gone; there is no point of regrets.  The only way to avoid regrets and create memories is to live one day at time with Jesus.  

Those of you out there, if you have Jesus in your life, you have all you need to make each day a fulfilling one.  But those of you who don't know Jesus, then it is going to be much more difficult to make sense of this painful world in which there are more regrets than memories.  

My life is well spent because early on life, I found Jesus and he can make your life worth living too; he can take away all your regrets and change them into something beautiful.  Otherwise life goes on and the reality is that it is going to go on and on even in eternity either in hell or in heaven - the bitter truth.  Without Christ the beautiful life here on earth is one waste of time but with Christ, even the sorrows of this world will be traded with joy divine!  Don’t let life go on with Christ.

Spiritual battle inside a believer

I don't need to be a hypocrite! Luke 12:1-12
