Dearly beloved, many years back,
the Lord God gave me His servant , certain clear plans concerning
raising up prayerful children, young ministers with a burden to shine
in the last days ministries and for the protection of the nation
and for it to receive the latter rain. I kept all those plans in
my heart and was praying over them for a few years. Years passed
by. Yet, He, who gave the vision reminded me of these plans and prompted
me to pray over them.
GOD
GIVEN PLACE
By
His grace and by the help of God’s children who love the
Jesus Meets Ministries, our dear Lord graciously helped us to
buy a 30 cents of land on
the main road
of Chennai to Thiruvallur in Avadi which is nearly 23 Kilometers
away from Chennai, in the year 2005. It was then a dry and thorny
place. God is good. Many servants of God, who love the Jesus Meets
ministries, came to this dry place, out of their love for us and
interceded with tears unto the Lord. We have published the photographs
of those servants of God.
Whenever
I had time, I, the Lord’s servant, also
used to kneel down in the midst of the thorny bushes and pray alone
or pray along with the brothers who have joined the ministry with tears
and faith, clinging to the promises of the Lord. Secular people invest
their money and start their building works or their business. But the
Holy Spirit taught me a lessson, “Your knees are the investment
for the Intercessory Prayer Centre. On the basis of faith He gave
us and according to the Scripture Verses, for months together, we
interceded
with the Lord to meet the basic need of the construction work.
FOUNDATION
WAS LAID
Last
July, when the Holy Spirit prompted me to lay the foundation of
this building, during my prayer
time, dear brother J.
Sam Jebadurai, who is always cheering me up in the path of ministry
since its beginning, laid the foundation stone for the Intercession
Prayer Centre on July 31st with much prayer and anointing. He also
shared a wonderful message. This programme was presided over by our
Pastor. S. Martin Robert. This service was conducted in a simple
way for the glory of God’s name.
PASSED THROUGH OBSTACLES
After
the foundation stone was laid, the initial stages of construction
works proceeded slowly and with
the grace of God. In
those days, when the foundation was being laid, we passed through
many difficulties such as nature’s wrath, incessant rain etc.,
On one side we were languished by expenditures and on the other side
we
were afflicted by mental agonies. Some months passed by in similar
fashion. But who has called us and given us the vision, did not allow
us to get depressed but prompted us to continue with the work in
faith.
By His immense grace, He gave a conducive climatic conditions since
January 2007 because of which the foundation work and initial stages
of construction proceeded steadily and with prayer. Thus far many lakhs
of rupees have been spent for this work. As a result of the offering
sent by the children of God like you who have great love for God, we
have been able to complete the ground floor and start the construction
of the first floor which is about to be completed now. This is purely
by the immense grace of God.
VISIONS
THAT ARE TO BE FULFILLED IN THE INTERCESSION PRAYER CENTRE
SPECIAL PRAYER ROOMS
The
whole world knows that prayer is the root cause for revival in
South Korea. The saints over there, made small, small rooms
in the caves and encouraged prayer warriors to pray for the prosperity
of that nation and revival of the churches, inside those rooms. That
ministry is continuing even today. Accordingly, since it is not possible
to go for caves in Chennai, the Holy Spirit gave us the plan to set
up small, small prayer rooms.
According
to this vision, such rooms are to be set up here. Prayer requests
will be placed in each and every room. Every detail such as who is
in a particular room and how long that person is inside that room
etc., shall be computerized. Those who volunteer to come and pray
in these rooms should register through computer or telephone. Those
who come forward to pray all on a sudden will not be allowed. It
is necessary for us that everything should be done decently and in
order.
TELEVISION
STUDIO
An Audio/Video studio is to be set up in another side of this building
so as to meet the people all over the world through the Television
ministry. At present all the programmes of Jesus Meets ministries,
titled ‘Power Even Today’ is being recorded in rented
studios. Television ministry is a noble ministry. Hence, a special
place is allotted in this building for this ministry.
HEAD QUARTERS
Besides, on yet another side of the Intercession Prayer
Centre, the Head Quarters of Jesus Meets ministries is going to function.
AUDITORIUM
A Special Auditorium
(Centralized Air Conditioned Hall) is to be set up so that nearly
1000 people
can sit together and worship
the Lord and receive His power and grace. The works of the Intercession
Prayer Centre are proceeding with the noble thought that it is indeed
right on our part to build a High- Tech building to worship the Lord
Jesus who said, “Heaven is my Throne and the earth, My foot stool”,
when even the secular persons are building high quality buildings
so as to exalt themselves.
YOU
TOO WITH US
My dear children
of God, the purpose of this ministry is that you too should jointly
act with us in this noble vision. Firstly join with us and praise
the Lord with a grateful heart for meeting all the needs thus
far. If the Holy Spirit prompts you, you too can become a partner
and send us your offering so that this noble mission continues
and these works are completed and the incomparable God can be
lifted up. Presently, we need a minimum of Rs.1,000/- per square
feet. If you are prompted by God, you can come forward to send
offering either for one square feet or more. It is our desire
that you too should be part of this ministry. There is no doubt
that when God answers all the prayers offered in the Intercession
Prayer Centre, He would remember you also and bless you.
