“He raises the poor
out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him
with princes-with the princes of His people.” – Psalms 113:7,8.
There lived a young man who was born
in a poor middle class family. He could not bear the anguish of poverty in his
life. To pursue his degree, he joined a college and there he fell in sin along
with his friends. As a result he failed in his course. He could not bear the
pain of poverty, unemployment and failures in life.
He hated his life to the core and so
he thought of ending his life. One day as he walked towards the railway track
to end his life, he met his uncle on the way who shared the love of Jesus
Christ with him and his uncle’s words comforted him. His uncle told him to
surrender his life into the hands of God.
The young man went to the Lord’s
presence and surrendered his life into the hands of God. Jesus Christ filled
him with His peace and joy of salvation.
But yet we may think that what God
can do with this young man’s life who failed in his spiritual life and studies.
We cannot comprehend God’s action with our human mind.
Jesus Christ took the life of that
young man in His hands and blessed Him. This young man was none other than late
Dr. D.G.S Dhinakaran.
In his studies he failed at his
young age but when he died he was called as Dr. D.G.S Dhinakaran. Not only that
but God raised him as the Founder Chancellor of a Christian Engineering
University where thousands of young people are getting graduated every year. How
could Jesus Christ give doctorate degree to a man who failed in his basic
degree and make him a founder chancellor of a big university? To man it is
impossible but to God it is possible. Remember, Jesus Christ is a mighty God who
can do anything. All things are possible with God.
Not only in studies but God also
blessed his spiritual life. Once D.G.S Dhinakaran was living in sin but when God
touched his life, he was transformed into a new person. God started to use him
mightily and millions of people around the world were touched through his
comforting message. When he died they called him ‘Apostle of Love’.
I just want to place before you two
important thoughts which Holy Spirit wanted me to share.
Once Uncle DGS was a failure in his
studies. He thought he can never pass his degree. But Jesus Christ blessed him
with a doctorate degree and made him to work as a manager in State Bank of
India for several years.
Similarly Uncle DGS failed in his
spiritual life at his young age. But Jesus Christ transformed him and raised
him as a world renowned evangelist. He was called the ‘Apostle of Love’.
At his young age, Uncle DGS thought
that his life had no blessing at all. When he surrendered his life to Jesus
Christ, God used him mightily and blessed millions of people through his life.
Even today the Christian engineering
university and the Jesus Calls ministry that God established through Uncle DGS,
were standing tall for the glory of Jesus Christ.
My dear young friends, even today
you might be thinking that you have no blessings in your life. You might think
that you are not at all useful for anything. Do not get discouraged.
Jesus Christ lifted Uncle DGS out of
ash heap and dust. He made him to sit along with the presidents and princes of
the nations. Jesus Christ will do the same in your life. Your life will not end
in the dust. You will receive blessing and you will be a blessing to many.
Today you might say that you are
doing nothing for the glory of God as you are struggling with the sin. Do not
worry. Jesus Christ will wash you with His blood and make you stand for His
glory. You will proclaim God’s word to many people.
Today you might be running around
someone for their prayers. Holy Spirit says to you that soon God will use you
in such a way that people will come running to you for your prayers.
You are poor in your studies, job
and in your spiritual life. Your life is not going to end that way because
Jesus Christ is going to lift you high. You will be blessed and a blessing to
many.
“He performs wonders
that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” – Job 9:10
All things are possible with God..... Amen.... :) :)
