JOHN 15:16 “YOU HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I
HAVE CHOSEN YOU.......”
In the year 1951, during the first day of December a baby
boy was born in a remote village near Tuticorin which is in the southern part of
India. The baby boy was none other than my beloved father. My father was born
as a last boy in a family which already had two girl and two boy children. My
grandfather was working as a clerk at that time. Being the last child of the
family special care was provided to my father by his loving elder sisters.
No one in that family has ever known about Jesus Christ.
Every children of that family has been brought up in a traditional Hindu
religion background. My forefathers have built several Hindu temples and few
were black magicians among them. My father also began to grow in a traditional
religious background. He hated other religions including Christianity to the
core. He never knew that one day the True Living God will touch his life.
When my father was 10 months old, his eldest sister has
committed suicide and died. My father was told about this only at his young
age. As she died, no one realised the curse that followed their generation
which forced her to death. Even though my father understood that eldest girls
who were born in the families of our generation were committing suicide, he
could not find out the reason behind this. But he developed the keen desire to
know the reason behind the death of his sister.
As my father was the youngest child of his family he was
protected with so much care and love. One day my grandfather took him to a
fortune teller. The fortune teller told him that his son will die at the age of
16 and no religious power can save him. Upon Hearing the predictions, the whole
family was filled with grief and sorrow. Even my father lost all his hopes. His
16th age came and everyone around him looked so saddened that he
will die soon.
But Jesus Christ has other plans about his life.
He is a
more powerful God who has chosen my father to be His witness. My father didn’t die
at his 16th age and so he began to hate his own religion which
predicted that he will die. That made him to search for the true God and slowly
he started loving Jesus Christ and believed that He alone is a true God. The
very next year he got baptised and began to follow Jesus Christ.
The true fact is my father does not chose Christ but Christ
has chosen my father to be His child. My dear young friends remember this: God
has chosen you for a purpose and no matter what kind of life you are living, He
will surely fulfil His purpose and He will not leave you. He will be with you
and will carry you all through your life as you are chosen by Him.
As my father began to hear more about Jesus Christ, he
prayed a little prayer that God has to remove all generational curses that
followed him. He prayed never knowing that there exists a dangerous
generational curse that followed the families of his generation.
What kind of dangerous generational curse it is? Did Jesus
Christ remove the generational curse that existed on our generation?
