Our First Wedding Anniversary


May 28th 2010 as i and my beloved wife Greeshma is celebrating our first wedding anniversary.We wanted to celebrate this with our family and friends but here we are in Bangalore international airport waiting to board a flight to sharjah to preach the gospel of my master according to Mark 16:16.

Looking back at this year ,when i think of the moments of anxiety we went through the same time last year on the eve of our marriage reminds me of the anxiety that zacchaeus had when he climbed up the sycamore fig tree to see Jesus in Luke 19.I would love to say that the bible clearly explains the different stages involved in the process of salvation.Our anxiety to see or experience Jesus is the first step of Salvation.

May 28th 2009 was a big turning point in my life when i understood the love of my Master when i got married to Greeshma Mullakkara. In-fact i should say that i never slept the previous night,my best friends Prabin(who is presently working in United States) and Stiju(working with HP,Bangalore) were together with me and encouraging with words and preparing me for the D-day.Early morning as i woke for prayer ,i just had one prayer request that my partner should be like as what God promised in Psalm 128:3-6.

10am the marriage service and it was a glorious moments to see the children of God gathered to worship God and was so happy to see some very special servants of God,Dr.Paul Dhinakaran,Rev Paul Thangiah,Rev Dr.K.C.John and Rev V T Abraham.The presence of God was immense as its written in Haggai 2:9.

A good prophetic word from Dr Paul Dinakaran where he prophesied on the basis of God telling David that he will build a house for David.

And from that day till today when i look at our past 1 year ,let me tell you that God is building our house ,he has laid a good foundation for our life.

If we have the anxiety to see Jesus and allow Jesus to build our lives or families and if we never loose our first love(Rev 2.3) we can confidently look forward to the promise that Jesus has promised in Rev 2:7 the Eternal Life.

Let the Holy Spirit God guide you and enable you to receive this wonderful promise.
Pray for us as we celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

God Bless you all.

Love and Prayers,
Anish.

Blogging for the Gospel

In this fast and advanced world,the devil who is the master of this world is at work to spread his tactics to make man away from God by sinning and not getting the best gift available the eternal life(Rom 6:23).The Holy spirit God at the same time is using young servants of God to come up with pace and use the same medium which the devil is using to spread the Gospel of Jesus.Being a software engineer in a multinational company i always stayed away from the social networking and blogging sites,but now as the holy spirit God spoke to me to use the medium to write about the creator of the universe,the lord of Lords and the king of Kings and his name is JESUS. In fact am so happy to write my first blog on the eve of my travel to the United Arab Emirates to preach the love of Jesus Christ and its also the eve of my first wedding anniversary.I am married to my love Greeshma Mullakkara(D/o Rev Devasia Mullakkara a renowned evangelist in Kerala a small state from India),she is also a software professional like me and together we had a blessed year where we worked from Mon-Fri for our companies and on Saturdays and Sundays for my Master.And God has blessed us abundantly through out this first year.
Being the Son of Bro S.J.Manomohan ( a renowned evangelist) from Kerala,prior to having a call from God,He was a senior manager with Federal Bank,and in 1989 Jesus picked him up and healed him and send him as an apostle to nations.(I will write a blog on how Jesus saved my Dad)
And its a pleasure and happy times in my life to see our parents as well as me and my wife working for our Master Jesus.
The Gospel is Very Simple
1.Jesus is Christ is the only way or the only one who can save you from Sins and give you an experience of Salvation.(John 6:53)
2.Jesus Christ is the only one who can heal your sickness as he is one who bore your sickness on the cross.(Exo 15:26)
3.Jesus Christ is the only one who can always be there with you by anointing you with the power of the holy spirit so that he can comfort you,guide you,show you the way to walk and also will convict you of sin, righteousness and judgement.(John 14:16)
4.Finally Jesus is the only King and he will come again to judge us and and spend the eternal life that we have with Jesus.(2Tim 4:1)

If you are reading this blog and feeling that there is a void in my life which no body can fill,let me tell you a good news that there is a JESUS who is the only one who can fill the void in your life if you invite him into your life,As the Bible says in Rev 3.20,if you open your heart he will come into your life.

Have JESUS in your life and be blessed.

Love and Prayers,
Anish Mano Stephen
