I was born in the year 1944, in a village named Moontradaippu Tirunelveli with one brother and one sister. I was reared in a Christian family was brought up in a denominational background. When I was conceived in my mothers womb, my mother underwent lot of difficulties. Once in the evening when she was drawing water from the well, suddenly she heard a fearful sound by which she became cold with fright. Immediately she started to bleed continuously.During this time lived a renowned prophet named DAVID IYYA. When he was called to our house to pray for my mother, he prophesied saying, “The child has not died, it is a boy child and his name will be Daniel & God is going to use him mightily. Like Daniel same way I was born safe and sound. When I reached adulthood, I was running after the world. I turned into a strong drunkard and chain smoker. I thank God for transforming a drunkard into a servant of God. Later I the year 1975, newly after marriage I still continued to drink which was a fact totally unknown to my wife. Meanwhile one night I drank to such an extent that I was literally stumbling and collapsing.
I was unable to stand. My wife understood that I still was a drunkard. That night it was some four hours that I returned to normal. I was very ashamed of myself. When opened my eyes I saw the Holy Bible which was kept on the shelf. I got to read the MARK 16 as soon as I opened it. That word pierced my heart like a spear. Truly my eyes were opened to truth. I read the Bible continuously, every word I read that night exploded off the page deep into my heart and a process of repentance had begun. I didn’t sleep for three days. My mind was constantly flashing all what happened. I didn’t want to see or talk to anyone. At the end of the 3rd day I came out with a resolution that I will do the Lords ministry. That was my turning point. I gave up all my desires for drinking and smoking. As time went, I spent time reading and studying the Bible. I was growing rapidly during this time. My Fasting was becoming more frequent and my prayer life was drastically increasing. I started to attend the Assembles of God Church. While at this church I happened to come across a Prophet book named HEBREW written by Bro. W.M.BRANHAM. As I read that, I understood the depth of Bible Newer secrets were revealed. At this time poverty was ruling over, I spent Eight Years without electricity in a small hut.
I was drawing a salary of Rs.3.75 a day. But on the other hand, Bible study, Prayer, and the presence of the Holy Spirit strengthened within me. I went in chain fasting without even water for three days and 40 days with water. During these few months my faith in God grew incredibly strong. The hardest thing to believe today is that the world is going after miracles, wonders, blessings, stories, etc. After reading the one baptism in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, I was in confusion. My pastor said that baptism in the name of father, son & the Holy Ghost is correct. But I was eager to know the correct baptism. As it is written, “The word of God tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us about everything. He will convict you of what is right & wrong.” (John16:8).
If a man receives no revelation from God, he is bound to be easily manipulated and directed against the truth. Today the world is blind to the true word. Many Christians have a mistaken belief that baptism in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit is right. But this is not true. Peter an apostle knew what he was doing is right; therefore he baptized them in the name of Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. |
