Hannah




'Whenever the day came for Elkannah to sacrifice he would give portions of his meat to Penninah and to all her sons and daughters.But to Hannah he gave double portion because he loved her and the Lord had closed her womb.'
Was Elkannah biased?Why did he love her more?
Hannah had a lot of good qualities.
1.She was single-minded in her pursuit of what she wanted.
2.She knew the exact door she needed to knock.
3.She was broken and ready for God to do His work in her life.
4.She was devoted to God.
5.She remembered her vow before God and fulfills it.
6.Her obedience opened the doors of blessing for her life and a way of communication for her people, with God.
7.She deemed herself to be a servant of the Lord.
8.She knew how to pour her soul before the Lord.
9.She was a humble woman who gave respect where it was due.
10.She was quick in recognising Lord's favour and names her son Samuel,'Because I asked the Lord for him.'
11.She did in practise what the Lord asked Abraham to do to test him.She released what was precious and was given by the lord thus paving way for personal and cooperate blessing for Israel.The blessing of hearing God's voice.WHat could be greater?
12.Hannah's prayer in the end is a revelation that comes with obedience.

In God ,we have our joy.
Our honour is in Him and through Him.
In Lord's deliverence is our delight.
The Lord is Holy,period.
He is a rock ,like no other.
He is all-knowing and the ultimate judge.
The Lord is compassionate to the weak,broken and hungry.
It is the Lord alone who satisfies regardless of our personal situation.
God is in control of everything.
The Lord directs the step of His servants.
It is not by strenght but by Lord's favour that we prevail.
The Lord is the one who appoints the kings and exalts the horn of His annointed.

'A little robe'!How poignant can it get?

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I came because I could r

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
