Witness shared by Pastor Paul Joshua

After serving the Lord for seven years in Dindigul, Pastor took a break from Siloam Evangelical Ministry as the administration got changed. Therefore Pastor left Siloam Ministry and came back to Madurai. Pastor was a very humble person and he is also a serious type. Always gave first place for God. He used to wear white shirt and white pant. When he used to travel to other state and other districts he will travel in an ordinary bus. The Lord preserveth the simple. As stated in Philippians 4:11,”Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content“, Pastor also learned to be content in whatever position he was in. Pastor was a man of prayer. Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul, and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits. Pastor established Kanmalai Prayer House in Madurai and did ministry staying there till his end of his life. In Mark 3:14,15 we read that Jesus ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. Similarly,Pastor who was chosen by God had delegated authority all from Christ to preach the gospel, to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils. The Lord never forgot the Pastor who lived very simple. Even in his old age the Lord’s hand was protecting him. Amen.
