ntil now, you have walked in the fear of God, sought His will, waited patiently in His presence to hear His voice, and kept your heart, mind, body and deeds holy, and so, from this day forward, the Lord will establish you firmly as a reward. Jesus says in Matthew 16:18, “...on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Surely, the gates of hell, which indicate the anger of the wicked people, the afflictions caused by terrible disease, the pain caused by losses and even the oppressive thoughts of guilt and condemnation, will not be able to prevail against you.

YOU ARE HIS CHURCH Whom does the Lord call “My church”? It is you and me. You are the temple of God. I Corinthians 3:16 says, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” I Corinthians 6:19 also reiterates this truth: “Do you

not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.” So, don’t think that you are insignificant or that your life does not matter. You are the temple of the living God, and His Spirit dwells in you. Would you say this with me, even now, in faith: “Lord Jesus, You are not far away from me. You dwell in me through Your Spirit. Thank You for making me Your dwelling place (Your church).” As you believe this truth, you will become more and more sensitive to the presence of God. Let your heart overflow with praise and thanksgiving to God for making you His dwelling place. Even in the midst of sorrow, suffering, bad news, disease and loss, you will know with certainty that you are not facing them alone. The divine power of God will flow from within you and work wonders in your life. Christ in you, the hope of glory.

CHRIST IS THE ROCK

What is this ‘Rock’ upon which the Lord establishes you, His church? Christ Himself is the Rock. Isaiah 51:1 says, “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock (Jesus) from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn.” Yes, look unto Jesus, who is the Rock. He is establishing you firmly upon Himself, and nothing will separate you from Him. You have been stuck on our Lord Jesus. Apostle Paul asks in Romans 8:35, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” He says that neither suffering nor betrayal, neither the works of the devil nor the burdens of sin, can ever separate us from Christ. In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Perhaps you are saying, “I do not have a zealous love for the Lord wherein I can confess Jesus Calls International

that I’m totally connected to my Lord Jesus. I have not prayed properly. I have not fasted. I have not given enough offerings. I have not maintained good relationships. I have had so many shortcomings.” Remember this: the love Christ has for you is far greater than the love you could ever offer Him. His love does not depend upon your perfection. Peter experienced this personally. He had promised Jesus that he would never deny Him, yet when Jesus was arrested, Peter denied Him three times. But after His resurrection, Jesus did not reject Peter or turn away from him. He came to him by the Sea of Galilee and asked him three times, “Do you love me?” (John 21:15–17). Even after Peter’s failure, Jesus continued to draw Peter back with His love and restored him. It is the unconditional love of Jesus, who emptied Himself and gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross, that holds us firmly to the Rock like an adhesive. It is a love that no human being could ever demonstrate in its fullness. Therefore, no matter how many shortcomings you may have, come before the Lord through Jesus and say, “Father, You have joined me to Yourself.” As you rest in His love and draw close to Him, you will experience His blessings flowing into your life. What are the blessings that come to us when we are firmly established upon Jesus, the Rock?

LIVING WATER FROM THE ROCK I Corinthians 10:4 says, “...for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” When we look at the people of Israel, we see that they were experiencing severe physical bondage and were also struggling in their relationship with God. They murmured against God, while Pharaoh and his officials impoverished them and used them as slaves.

It was in such a miserable state that the people of Israel cried out and questioned where their God was. Their rulers were destroying them, and even their male children were being killed because the rulers feared that the Israelites would multiply. Yet, in the midst of their oppression, the Lord came to them as their Saviour. Through Moses, God spoke His Word, confirmed His Word, and delivered His people from bondage. He then led them through the Red Sea. Why did He do this? He wanted them to leave behind the afflictions and bondages of their former days and enter into a new life. Through the waters of the Red Sea, they were cleansed of their past bondages, experiencing a decisive transition from their old life into a new beginning of freedom. In the same way, God will bring you out of the old things and lead you into a new life. He gives you the living water of Christ for cleansing, renewal, and transformation. Where does this water come from? It comes from Christ, the Rock. Jesus Himself is the Living Water. He says in John 7:37, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” Are you thirsty today? Are you troubled and wondering, “Who will deliver me?” Ask the Lord Jesus. He will fill you with living water. He will cleanse you, renew you, and lead you into a new way of living. Whether you are struggling with physical or spiritual bondage, surrender your life into the hands of the Lord. He will break every chain and make all things new for you.

SWEET PROVISION FROM THE ROCK There is another blessing that comes from the Rock. Deuteronomy 32:13 says, “He nourishes you with honey from the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag.” The Lord will give you His choicest blessings, and you will experience the goodness He has prepared for you. 4

We witnessed this truth in the life of a woman named Shanthi from Karaikudi. She shared how she worked as a domestic helper to provide for her family and meet her daughter’s educational needs. Her income was limited, and she was struggling with a lot of debt and poverty. At the same time, she was also suffering from a serious illness that made it difficult for her to carry on with her daily responsibilities. When her condition became serious, she was admitted to the hospital. There, a nurse told her about Jesus and encouraged her to go to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and pray. Taking those words to heart, Shanthi went to the Prayer Tower and placed all her burdens before the Lord. The prayer intercessors prayed for her, and the Lord graciously touched her and healed her. But the Lord’s work in her life did not end with her healing. He began to provide for her needs and change her circumstances. Gradually, she came out of poverty, and the difficulties her family had been facing began to change. The Lord brought a new beginning to her family and even enabled her daughter to build a new house. Today, Shanthi lives happily with her family, and she has grandchildren too. As she looks back, she is grateful to God for His sweet provisions even during her difficult seasons in life. This is what it means to receive honey from the Rock. Just as the Lord provided for Shanthi in her time of scarcity, He will provide for you during each season. He gives you honey from the Rock and oil from the flinty crag. What great grace this is!

STRENGTH FROM THE ROCK When you are firmly established upon the Rock, you will have divine strength to withstand whatever comes against you. Luke 6:48 says, “They are like a man building a house, who

October 2026

| www.jesuscalls.org

dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.” Notice that the flood still came. Being established upon the Rock does not mean that you will never face difficulties. It means that when difficulties come, they will not be able to shake the foundation of your life. When David returned to Ziklag, he found that the city had been burned and that the women and children had been taken captive. David and his men were overwhelmed with grief, and his own men even spoke of stoning him. Yet, “David strengthened himself in the Lord his God” (I Samuel 30:6). The Lord told him to pursue the enemy, and David went forward in the strength he received from God. “David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken” (I Samuel 30:18). Such is the God we serve! Psalm 16:8 says, “I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” There may be a rushing current in the world that beats against your life, but because you are joined to Christ, you shall not be moved. Your name shall not be shaken. Your family shall not be moved. Your job shall not be moved. Your business shall not be moved. Your calling shall not be shaken. The strength of Christ will increase more and more within you. And as the Lord keeps speaking to you through His Word, and as you continue to build your life upon it, your foundation will become stronger. No storm will be able to destroy what God is building in you. He will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth (Isaiah 58:14). Therefore, let not your heart be troubled. Jesus Calls International

The Lord has established you upon the Rock, and you shall not be moved.

PROTECTION FROM THE ROCK There is also divine protection for those who are established upon Christ. According to Matthew 16:18, the Lord says, “The gates of Hades shall not prevail against you.” Demons may rise up against you, and powers of darkness may work through people or through various practices, but they will not prevail against the one whose life is established upon Christ. We see this in the life of Daniel. His enemies deliberately plotted against him and brought accusations against him because of his faithfulness to God. As a result, Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den. Yet, the lions could not harm him. The Lord sent His angel and shut their mouths. Daniel testified, “My God sent His angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions” (Daniel 6:22). The forces that rose against Daniel were unable to overcome him because his trust was firmly placed in God. Likewise, the name of Jesus Christ is upon you, and you are His temple. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth (Philippians 2:10). So, do not be afraid of the powers that rise against you, because the One who dwells in you is greater, and the God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet (Romans 16:20). My friend, from Jesus, our Rock, comes living water, the sweetness of His provision, the strength to withstand every storm and the divine protection from every evil power that rises against us. Therefore, be strong and courageous. You are not standing on your own strength, and you are not standing upon shifting ground. You are standing on Christ, the solid Rock. You will not be shaken.

Dearly beloved, the Bible says in Deuteronomy 4:29, “You will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” We cannot serve two masters. We cannot be cold towards God; we must be passionate about Him. The Lord Jesus says in Matthew 22:37, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” But how should we seek Him together as a family?

SEEK HIM BY BELIEVING

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, 8

for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 Faith is the first step in seeking God and depending on Him every day. Abraham and Sarah show us what it means to believe God and wait for His promise. Though years passed and God’s promise of a son seemed impossible, they continued to trust Him. In His perfect time, God blessed them with Isaac. The Lord Jesus says in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Seek the Lord earnestly as a family, believing that He hears your prayers; and the Lord will do what is best for you in His perfect time.

SEEK HIM THROUGH HIS WORD “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Joshua 1:8 When the Book of the Law was found and read to King Josiah, he heard the Word, humbled himself, and acted upon it (2 Kings 22:10–13). He then gathered the people and led them to renew their covenant with the Lord and follow His commands (2 Kings 23:1–3). Just as King Josiah led the people to return to God, we should honour God’s Word as a family by reading it together and putting it into practice. Then our homes will be filled with His magnificent presence and His overflowing blessings. SEEK HIM THROUGH PRAYER “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7 In 2008, when our father, Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran, was sick unto death, our family was in deep sorrow. I especially felt weak and empty. I could not fast and pray as I used to, so I poured out my heart to God and cried, “Lord, please fill me with more of Your power, for I am feeling weak.” After landing in Vizag, I heard the Lord say, “My child, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, get up and pray with your husband. Let Me fill both of you with My Spirit.” I eagerly waited for morning, and my

Jesus Calls International

husband and I knelt together to pray. As we prayed, the Lord filled us mightily with His Spirit. We experienced the fullness of God’s presence and spoke in different languages of God. His presence strengthened and comforted us; we felt like heaven on earth. In the midst of our prayer, I saw Jesus face-to-face, full of love. He filled my heart with His love. What a wonderful God we serve! He listens to every prayer we offer. Even today, the same God says to you, “My child, if you will seek Me with all your heart and with all your soul, you will find Me” (Jeremiah 29:13). Build a relationship with God through family prayer and cast down your burdens before Him at the family altar. The Lord will heal your family, restore His blessings, and raise your family to be a blessing to others. “Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways...Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine…Your children like olive shoots all around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.” Psalm 128:1–4 May your home become a place where the Lord’s presence abides, His Word is honoured, and His goodness overflows from one generation to the next.

AT THE PRAYER TOWER, JESUS TOUCHED ME My name is Nissanka, and I come from Ulpathmadawala in Matara. On Vesak Poya Day, I suddenly fell seriously ill and suffered a stroke. Though I received both Ayurvedic and Western medical treatment, I continued to experience severe pain in my arm. I could not lift or move it properly, and I also struggled to walk because my leg would shake. Carrying these difficulties in my heart, I came to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and took part in the Weekly Blessing Meeting. During the prayer, the Pastor asked us to bring our specific pain and difficulties before God and pray for His touch in those areas. I surrendered my condition to the Lord and prayed specifically for my healing. As the prayer continued, I suddenly felt a strong pulling sensation in my arm. The movement was so strong that I could hardly control it, and even when I asked my wife to hold my arm, she could not stop it. Then I realised that I could lift my arm again. I was able to move and rotate it freely, something I had been unable to do since my stroke. The pain and stiffness that had troubled me were gone. I came to the Prayer Tower seeking God’s help, and through prayer, I experienced a remarkable miracle in my body. With joy and gratitude, I testify, “Jesus Christ has healed me completely!” I give all glory to Jesus for His healing grace.

Dear Partner in the Lord’s Ministry, It is a joy to connect with you this October. Through the years, you have remained faithful to God, holding on to Him even through seasons of lack, infirmity and shame, and continuing to stand with His Ministry. To you, the Lord gives this promise from Matthew 16:18: “...on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Yes, the Lord is firmly establishing you in Him. Nothing will shake you, your career or your family, because the Lord Himself is your strong foundation. That same grace rests upon the Jesus Calls Ministry. He has established this Ministry upon Himself, and no power of darkness will prevail against what He is building. He has also raised precious partners like you to stand with us and fulfil His vision. Through your prayers and sacrificial giving, millions are being touched by the love of Jesus. Every life reached and every tear wiped away is part of the difference you are helping us make through this Ministry. 12

FIRST EVER ONLINE PRAYER FESTIVAL “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” Revelation 3:8 We are witnessing the Lord opening a new door for the Jesus Calls Ministry to share His love and reach people wherever they are. It began with our first-ever Online Prayer Festival in August, and what a joy it was to see the Lord move! People joined from different places and shared testimonies of receiving jobs, being blessed with children, experiencing restoration in their families and receiving healing. More than 20,000 prayer requests came through email, WhatsApp and social media. We praise God for the miracles He performed and the testimonies that continue to come forth. Mwina Basumatary, watching LIVE on YouTube, wrote: “Praise the Lord. Brother, through your live prayer on August 15th, 2026, my 15 mm kidney stone was healed miraculously.” Encouraged by what the Lord had begun, we conducted two more Online Prayer Festivals. On September 12, we held a

October 2026

Tamil Online Prayer Festival, followed by a Multilingual Online Prayer Festival in six languages on September 13. My family and I had the joy of interacting with partners who joined through Zoom, listening to their prayer needs and praying with them. We also lifted before the Lord the many requests received through WhatsApp and live chat. The Lord moved powerfully and prophetically, leading us to pray specifically for deliverance from addictions and infirmities, restoration in families, career blessings and many other needs. We praise God for the many who experienced His presence and were personally touched at the point of their need. If the Lord has touched your life through these Prayer Festivals, please share your testimony at testimony@jesuscalls.org. If you missed the live programmes, I encourage you to watch them on the Jesus Calls YouTube channel. SUNDAY BLESSING MEETING Another beautiful expression of this open door was our Sunday Blessing Meeting on September 6, themed “Showers of Blessing.” On Shilpa’s birthday, our family had the privilege of sharing God’s Word and praying together, with several thousand joining us both in person and LIVE online. As we prayed, the Lord moved prophetically, speaking into the needs of the people. I praise God for touching and encouraging so many lives. 56 YEARS OF JESUS CALLS PUBLIC MEETINGS MINISTRY As we mark the 56th anniversary of the Jesus Calls Public Meetings Ministry on the 12th of this month, my heart is filled with gratitude. From our humble beginnings, the Jesus Calls International

Lord has brought us into a season where we conduct live Prayer Festivals in six languages through social media, reaching lakhs of people at a time. Over the years, more than 111 million Prayer Festivals have been conducted, and the Lord continues to open new avenues for the Gospel to reach people across India and beyond. We are prayerfully planning more Online Prayer Festivals and large physical Prayer Festivals across India. Please pray with us for open doors, that many more lives may encounter His love and experience their sorrow turning into joy. SEESHA LAUNCHES 100 HOUSES BUILDING PROJECT IN ASSAM On September 4th, the Jesus Calls, Karunya and SEESHA families came together on my birthday, turning the celebration into an oppor-tunity to share Christ’s love with those in need. Through SEESHA, the Garment Production Unit at JC Garden, Vanagaram, Chennai, was inaugurated in the presence of Hon’ble Thiru J.C.D. Prabhakar, MLA, Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, creating livelihood opportunities for vulnerable women. Livelihood assets were also distributed to deserving beneficiaries.

In that same event, we also launched the SEESHA Assam Flood Relief Initiative 2026 to support families affected by the devastating floods. Many have lost their homes, belongings and livelihoods and are in dire need of safe shelter. With a goal to raise Rs. 1 Crore towards the construction of 100 houses, we want to help these families rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. I invite you to stand with a flood-affected family and help rebuild their home. For details, please turn to page 22. The celebration also became an opportunity for our staff to reach out to people in need. Through Jesus Calls, our staff members themselves took the initiative to share food, clothing, provisions, prayer and care, blessing more than 5,000 people in Children’s Homes, Old Age Homes, Rehabilitation Centres and Special Children’s Homes. 20 free eye camps benefited around 1,500 people.

If you would like to join me in serving the Lord, you can serve as a full-time worker or volunteer. Your gifts, talents and skills can bless many lives. “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few.” Matthew 9:37 Please visit the Jesus Calls website to explore opportunities. Let us labour together in the harvest. KARUNYA RURAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - 37 YEARS OF SERVING THE SICK WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION

Through Karunya, a Mega Blood Donation Camp resulted in 804 units of blood being donated, while a solar-lighting project was completed at Kalkothipathi Village.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

I thank God for our co-labourers who worked day and night to make this birthday a blessing. CHERISHED YOUR WISHES AND PRAYERS

I thank God for Karunya Hospital, which has become a beacon of hope to thousands of underprivileged people who struggle to access healthcare. The hospital provides free treatment for the poor and affordable care for those in need.

I cherished the birthday wishes and prayers I received through videos, emails, SMS, WhatsApp and social media. Your words encouraged me, and I thank God for our prayer partners. My family and I always remember you and your families in prayer.

to help the poor and needy, minister to people and build better infrastructure. So, my friend, get ready to think differently!

Don’t Settle for a Mediocre Life Dear young friend, this October, God is going to make you a trendsetter! Yes, you will create new things for the Lord. The Bible says in Exodus 31:3–5, “I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills to make artistic designs… and to engage in all kinds of crafts.” Just as God gave people in Biblical times the wisdom and skills to create, He will use your skills, talents, wisdom and knowledge to create new things today. Why? Because the Creator is living within you! The Spirit of God will inspire you to use today’s technology to develop new products, businesses, methods and solutions that people have never thought of before. You will discover new ways

But to create something new, you must first refuse to settle for an ordinary life. Those who want to do their BEST for the Lord and desire to do something special for Him are the ones who will create new things. Let’s look at Abel, the son of Adam and Eve. Genesis 4:4 says that Abel brought “the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions” as an offering to the Lord. Abel didn’t give God what was ordinary or left over; he gave Him his best. He wanted to honour God with something valuable and pleasing to Him. In the same way, whatever God has given you, whether it is your talent, knowledge or skills, offer it to Him by giving your very best. But if you simply follow others and live by worldly ways, you will never think beyond what already exists.

“Whatever others are doing, let me do it too. I just want to go home and sleep. I just want my paycheck.” That is a mediocre life. But when you desire to do something special for the Lord, whether in an event, a service or any skilled work, God will give you fresh ideas and new ways of doing things.

Ask God. Create Something New. Think about Noah. When he desired to do something special for the Lord and serve Him in the best way possible, God gave him a new revelation about the plan to build an ark, with every detail. When David wanted to glorify the Lord through his life, God gave him a beautiful revelation of a glorious temple, including details about how it should be built. That same grace is coming upon you! I experienced this myself. I suddenly had a desire to produce a new song for the Lord. As a child, my father and many others had written songs for me. But now, I wanted to create a song for the Lord from my own heart; something that was truly good and pleasing to Him. So, I was crying and praying, “Lord, please give me a new song for You. Let it bless many people. Why don’t You give me a new song?” I couldn’t stop crying in prayer. Then the Holy Spirit filled me. I was overwhelmed by His presence and began weeping under the anointing. Suddenly, I saw

Jesus Calls International

what I should sing about. The Lord literally showed me each stanza and verse, and I wrote the entire song in one stretch. It was “Avarae,” my Tamil song. I wrote it immediately, and we went on to produce and film it. Today, many people tell me that they have tears in their eyes whenever they sing or hear it. They say it speaks to their situation and helps them feel God moving in their lives. It brings them comfort and joy. Yes, the Holy Spirit graciously gave me that song, and He used it to bless many lives. My friend, it will happen to you too! When you desire to do something special for the Lord and give Him your best, ask Him for His ideas. He will inspire you to create something that touches lives and brings glory to Him. It is time to create something new and great for the Lord. Don't settle for mediocrity. Become a trendsetter. Be a leader in creating, not a follower!

Every month, 340,000+ people across India reach the Jesus Calls Telephone Prayer Tower in moments of sickness, crisis, fear and uncertainty. Countless testimonies have emerged through this prayer service, especially in critical moments. Luth Nathan Kumar was hospitalised with critical multiple organ complications. His family called the Prayer Tower, where intercessors prayed for his miraculous healing, claiming the healing stripes of Jesus. By God’s grace, he made a remarkable recovery and was completely healed. PRAYER GOES BEYOND THE CALL Every prayer request is confidentially recorded so intercessors can continue praying and following up on each need. The computer system enables the team to: Record prayer requests and counselling details Schedule and track follow-ups Maintain continued prayer support Share relevant, encouraging messages through WhatsApp and the Jesus Calls App

Our 20-year-old computers are no longer able to keep pace with the growing prayer ministry.  Computers freeze while prayer requests are being entered, causing delays at prayer desks.  Some take too long to start and run the ministry system.  Where only one computer is available, staff have to wait to enter requests and counselling details.  System failures can interrupt prayer records, follow-ups and counselling work. With 340,000+ people reaching us every month, every delay matters. We urgently need 55 new computers to replace these ageing systems and ensure that prayer requests are received, recorded and followed up without delay.

With upgraded computers, every prayer desk will be strengthened to function efficiently and serve more people seamlessly, helping us fulfill our vision of extending this prayer support to many more people across India. 20

y friend, if you have been working hard, giving your best, and still wondering, “Why am I not seeing any results?” I want to encourage you today: Yes, it concerns God. He sees your work; He knows your labour, and He has not forgotten you. Isaiah 41:13 says, “For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you.” Think about your right hand. We use it for so much of our work, whether for writing, giving, carrying things, doing our daily jobs and fulfilling our responsibilities. So, when God says that He takes hold of our right hand, He is assuring us that He is with us in the work of our hands. And He does not simply hold your hand. Isaiah 41:10 says, “I will strengthen you and help you, and I will uphold

you with My righteous right hand.” What a precious assurance! When you feel drained, the Lord will strengthen you. When you feel like giving up, He will help you. When you feel like you are about to fall, He will uphold you. Always remember the power of the hand that is holding you. Exodus 15:6 says, “Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.” There is great power in the right hand of God. The same hand that is holding you is powerful enough to deal with whatever comes against you. We see this clearly in Matthew 14:28–32 when Peter saw Jesus walking on the water. He longed to go to Jesus, so he stepped out in faith and began walking on the water. But then he began to look around at the disturbances surrounding him. His eyes went to the water. His eyes went to the storm. His eyes went to the waves. And he began to sink. Many times, the same thing happens to us. We begin our work with faith, trusting Jesus and believing that He will lead us. But when

problems come, and our work does not progress the way we want it to, we shift our eyes from Jesus and begin looking at our problems. When we keep looking at what is going wrong, fear and discouragement take over. The more we look at the storm, the bigger it may seem. But the good news is that Jesus is still there. Jesus didn't leave Peter in the water. He came to his rescue. Matthew 14:31 says, “Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him.” Just as Jesus reached out His hand, lifted Peter from the waters and put him on his feet, the Lord will lift you from every stagnant situation at work and elevate you in His time. But what should we do while we wait for His blessings? Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” This is so important to remember. We should continue to do our work sincerely, not only when someone notices us or appreciates us, but because ultimately, we are doing it for the Lord. Be faithful in the responsibilities entrusted to you. Give your best even when the outcome is not immediately visible. Your attitude and

Jesus Calls International

faithfulness at work will influence the people around you. The Lord who sees your faithfulness in secret will openly reward your hard labour. And when He lifts you, it will not be only for your own benefit. He will raise you to be a blessing to your authorities, your colleagues, and the company you work for. So do not let disappointment make you give up. The Lord who held Peter's hand and lifted him from the waters is holding your hand today. Continue to work diligently as unto the Lord. Keep your eyes fixed on Him. Hold on to His promise and keep moving forward. In due season, if you do not give up, you will see His favour surrounding your work and His hand lifting you in your job.

These days, the lives of many people as well as families are in ruins and have no peace and joy. Several families could be seen tossed by tears and agonies, languishing in sorrow, not knowing what to do. Lot of reasons could be cited for this. However, the Bible says, ”…but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10) So, through the Scriptures, let us examine how to seek the Lord and how to follow that and live a blessed and divine life in the Lord.

THE RIGHTEOUS HAS AN EVERLASTING FOUNDATION “When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting f o u n d a t i o n .” (Proverbs 10:25) The righteous

lays his foundation on the Lord, the Rock. In I Samuel 2:2, realizing who the God of gods is and how He is, a broken hearted woman called Hannah says, “Nor is there any rock like our God.” She fully based her life on this divine rock as a result of which she was blessed with ‘a life with strong divine foundation’. Because of this, her life which was ‘in darkness due to lacks and which was full of weeping’ changed into a life of light and brightness and she received the divine grace to arise and shine for the glory of His name. In the Bible – both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament – we see several people of God having the Lord as their foundation and becoming righteous people in Him and how they received such divine life founded on the Lord. Abraham is one of the finest saints in the Old Testament. He had no child and because of this lack, he had to go through a path of

tears. However, his complete trust on the Lord, became a ‘strong faith’ and granted him a blessed life of bringing a privileged lineage, as seen in Matthew 1:1-17. We read in the Bible that like Abraham, other men of God too had their foundation on the God of gods as a result of which they enjoyed a divine life from God and were filled with His blessings. A particular sister, who had her full faith on the Lord like Abraham, went through a path of darkness because of various lacks and needs in her life and was living in tears. However, at such times, she read the Bible, whenever she had time and meditated on the words spoken to her by the Lord. Hence, she was filled with faith and power like Stephen in Acts 6:8, and saw great miracles in her life. Dear ones, you should also become righteous and enjoy such full blessings in your life. We read in the Bible, “The horns of the righteous shall be exalted” (Psalm 75:10). Also David, the man of God, sings, ‘the Lord is the horn of my salvation’ (Psalm 18: 2) and that ‘you shall surround me with songs of deliverance’ (Psalm 32:7). In Psalm 51:12, he says, “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” So saying, he lived a life of righteousness and godliness, pleasing to God. Hence, the Lord was also pleased with him and elevated him, who was an ordinary shepherd into an honourable king. Psalm 23 clearly lists out the blessings that David enjoyed in his life, as he took the Lord as

his Shepherd, all through his life. King Saul tried hard to kill and destroy him; yet he could not do anything to David. Don’t we read in the Bible, how wonderfully the Lord delivered David out of all afflictions and protected him according to what he had sung in Psalm 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all?” Dear ones, when we too are diligent to walk in the righteous ways before the Lord, like David, the same Lord will surely deliver us out of sorrows, sufferings and tears. About this we read clearly read in Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” Like David, even the faithful men of God like Daniel and Job had boundless trust on the Lord and we read how gloriously and honourably the Lord led them miraculously. My dear children of God, if you too are diligent in walking in the righteous ways before God, like they did and focus on doing things that are pleasing to Him, there is no doubt that you too would receive the benefits that they enjoyed.

God will deliver us out of sorrows, sufferings and tears

Righteous Yields Fruit “…the root of the righteous yields fruit.” (Proverbs 12:12) Certain jackfruit trees bear fruits even in their roots, which are very tasty. Similarly, in the life of a righteous man, even his family would yield fruit for the Lord.

When Brother Dhinakaran sought after a deep godly life, by the grace of God, all of us, as a family, followed His ways and walked in the ways of righteousness. Even today, the Lord has showered upon us His grace to live a godly life for Him and fulfil His services, and is leading us miraculously. “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” (Romans 8:30) My dear children of God, the Lord

Jesus Calls International

Jesus was filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and His disciples also received the anointing and He helped them to fulfil His ministry. Don’t we read about this in Acts 1:5,8,14? Accordingly, the Lord expects everyone of you to be righteous, yielding fruit for Him. So examine your own state. Would you desire to walk in such righteous paths and yield fruit for Him? Or do you want to live an empty Christian life? – Think well and commit yourself to walk godly before the Lord, to walk in righteous ways, pleasing to Him, and to live a fruit yielding life? Then the Lord will lead you and your family in blessed ways and prosper you. Your family shall stand firm before everyone and be blessed.

Jesus Calls Prayer Towers have brought mighty miracles into the lives of people who walk through their doors seeking comfort, healing, and direction. A Testimony of God’s Faithfulness Sweta Sheetal Minz from Ranchi shares how God carried her family through one of their darkest seasons: “When my son Arav was six months old, doctors discovered a tumour and advised treatment. During those difficult days, the Ranchi Prayer Tower stood with us in prayer, lifting Arav before the Lord. He underwent four cycles of chemotherapy, after which his AFP levels returned to normal. On 14 November 2025, he underwent surgery, and the operation was successful. His biopsy was negative, and he was discharged on 2 January 2026.” This is one of the many testimonies that emerge through the ministry of the Ranchi Prayer Tower.
