We are going to stand and sing a
song from the song sheet.
We sing one more song on the page
2 of the song sheet in Tamil and
page 5 in English.
Same song.
The book of Isaiah and chapter 30 and
verse 21.
Book of Isaiah the prophet chapter 30 and
verse 21.
I am Daniel.
Shall hear a word behind this saying.
This is the way.
Walk ye in it.
When ye turn right hand and when ye
turn left.
When ye turn right hand and when ye
turn left.
The way is here.
Walk ye in it.
Shall hear a word behind this saying.
You find in this verse a great secret.
Not only for those who are being joined
together but for all who are here and
many more.
Not only for those who are being joined
together but for all who are here and
many more.
Shall hear a word behind this saying.
This is the way.
In every age and time it helps us
to speak the word of God.
Wherever we go God wants to speak to
us Whosoever you may be you will find
much help from this one verse alone for
a lifetime.
What if you know how to hear and
discern understand the voice of God.
Your joy, your happiness your success your fruitfulness
depend upon that secret.
The ability to hear the voice of God
and the strength to wear the voice of
God Oh what a joy what a privilege
what an honor we have as believers in
Lord to hear the voice of God.
But the very sad thing is very few
believers understand how to discern the voice of
God.
And that's why they make many sad mistakes
also.
With so many good intentions and many many
advantages they make many mistakes.
But the mistake you made in the marriage
time is very serious.
It will bring you a lifelong loss if
you make a mistake in your marriage problems.
And that's why you find so many professors
so many doctors so many teachers so many
nurses having unhappy homes all over the world.
Unhappy homes with many many high hopes they
began their married life.
And after a few months or a short
period they are disappointed.
But that's today.
And that's why the voice of God is
a very very important matter.
God does speak.
He is a living God.
We thank God that these two who are
going to be joined together have a testimony
they are forgiven.
They will themselves tell you afterwards they are
not being joined by uncle by auntie by
neighbors by friends by money by looks.
They are joined by God.
I say truthfully they are being joined by
God.
They heard the voice of God.
And that's why they are being joined by
Him not by prayers or incantations and by
money.
God does speak.
So God works it again.
God's power comes by God's voice.
I see in Psalm 29 and verse 4
Psalm 29 and verse 4 Can you see
for yourself God's power in God's voice?
Verse 4 The voice of the Lord is
powerful.
By the voice of God burdens are lifted.
By the voice of God questions are answered.
By the voice of God fears go away.
By the voice of God we receive new
love and new strength and new energy and
new power.
By the voice of God we know the
ways of God.
And that's why we go on to get
the story.
Let there be any difficulty now.
We don't become super human by being born
again.
We remain un-human beings.
And that's why we are getting married.
That's why you thought I don't think it's
natural I will ever get married.
That's what many people thought.
I know you will never get married.
But this one day they heard it was
same Zakir Raha he said yes, he's same
not the same man same bald head same
man not changed as where you are not
a super human we remain ordinary human beings
when we are born again we have common
problem common difficulty common burden common trials common
temptation My difference is the voice of God.
Some know how he got the voice of
God in a way others don't know and
that's why they come under the trials others
hear the voice of God and they come
over it they go on conquering and trapping
all the time let there be any difficulty
on their path we can be more than
conquerors by hearing the voice of God because
you can solve every problem by going upon
your knees by hearing the voice of God
in every matter every question every problem everything
is 30 you can pray together and find
God's plan for the whole day three Gods
work together hear God's voice every day and
receive God's message for your friends or enemies
say it before going anywhere find God will
hear God's voice and that's why I again
there was them Isaiah 30 verse 21 and
on you shall hear the word behind you
shall be saying this is the way walk
ye in it and that is the only
advice we can give this evening that please
wait patiently upon your knees both of you
every day sometimes four times a day then
obey God's very simple God of love he
will speak with you he is a loving
God he must speak with you you can
go to him any number of time ask
him any question however hard it may be
I am asking you for the message for
your friends and neighbors enemies as a surprise
you are putting God's message go to Manipur
Manipur to that kind of companion God spoke
to me to go so far away and
see myself so far just ask about it
ask him don't argue and make sure also
no argument and God said go to Manipur
no job for me no happiness God has
spoken and we must obey him and the
voice of God be oneness and unity and
fellowship and cooperation no jealousy no contention no
pride and no partiality we are being joined
by God we are being joined for God's
glory and Zechariah is still God's servant he
has not changed yet he is God's servant
he will remain God's servant no argument go
away he is God's servant we must obey
him our prayer is but I will be
God's obey him and both of you hear
the voice of God and I'm sure they
both are going to be much blessed by
him and through the union many are going
to be blessed we are being joined for
the blessing of many people of many countries
and like a God we are being joined
by the union in many parts of the
world as we see in the Bible when
God said they ran when God said they
ran by God demanding they gave by God
said they obeyed so keep your ears fast
again that is what the Bible says When
I was in sin, even though I called
myself a Christian, I did not know Thee.
But I thank Thee for Thy love which
came seeking for me, and which sought me,
and found me, washed me, and cleansed me
in the blood, and made me a new
creature, and brought me into fellowship with Thyself.
Loving Father, I thank Thee for that day
when I could really look up to Thee
and call Thee my own Father.
Thank You, Lord, for that day, and I
thank Thee ever since that day, all these
years, in spite of many failures, in spite
of many ups and downs, how Thou hast
kept me and held my hand by Thy
mighty hand.
Lord, I just praise Thee and worship Thee.
O Lord, many pitfalls Thou hast saved me
from, many a snare of the devil Thou
hast delivered me from, and I just praise
Thee for every bondage from which Thou hast
set me free.
Thank Thee, dear Lord Jesus, that Thou art
a living Savior to me in my experience,
and that Thou art not just someone in
history, but one living, resurrected King of kings
and Lord of lords.
I thank Thee, Lord, for that day when
Thou didst deign to call me for Thy
service.
O Lord, to preach Thy word, Lord, I
thank Thee, even after that, in spite of
many times in which I have not been
what I should be, and I have not
been as faithful in my services as I
should have been.
Yet, Thou hast not left me, Lord.
I know from experience that Thy promise is
true.
I will never leave You nor forsake You.
We thank Thee, Lord, for that unconditional promise
Thou hast made to me in Thy word.
And thank You, dear Lord, for bringing me
even to this day in my life, when
Thou hast provided for me one whom Thou
hast ordained from eternity to be my partner
in the coming years of life.
I thank Thee, Lord, and we pray, as
we offer ourselves together up to Thee this
day, as one living sacrifice, that Thou wouldst
consume it upon Thine altar.
Lord, set Thy seal upon this day by
sending Thy heavenly fire into our midst.
Consume us, Lord, for Thy service, which is
our only desire.
We pray that our lives might bring glory
to Thy name, even if we don't have
much of the things of this world, even
if we don't have the honor and reputation
and fame.
Lord, even if it means reproach and sorrow
and toil and blood and sweat and tears,
we pray, Lord, keep our hands on the
plough until the very end, that we might
not look back.
Our lives might bring satisfaction to Thy heart
daily, Lord.
We beseech Thee that our lives might bring
such satisfaction to Thy heart that Thou wouldst
forget the thorns that pierce Thy brow and
the nails that pierce Thy hands.
Thou wouldst see in our lives the travel
of Thy soul and be satisfied.
Lord, this is our desire.
This is our only desire.
We are not able, Lord, to live up
to this, but we thank Thee for the
power available to us by Thy Holy Spirit.
And so, Lord, we rest on Thee and
in Thy name we go forth to face
life together as those whom Thou hast ordained
to be ones to glorify Thee.
So, Lord, I ask that Thou wouldst prepare
me to be the husband that Thou wouldst
expect me to be.
I pray, dear Lord, that Thou wouldst prepare
me in every way for service in a
greater measure than in the past days.
And I thank Thee for Thy promise to
me that the glory of this latter house
shall be greater than the glory of the
former.
And I believe that this is true, Lord,
for this is Thy word.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but Thy
word will not pass away.
And so, Lord, trusting in the promises of
Thy word, trusting in the strength that is
available to me in Thy Spirit, Lord, I
face this new responsibility and I ask that
You cleanse me afresh at this time from
every defilement in my unknown path.
Every part of me, just make me pure
and holy afresh in Thy sight.
Lord, I ask that Thou wouldst fill me
with Thy Holy Spirit.
And pray that through our lives united together,
rivers of living water may flow, dear Lord,
whatever our past failures may have been.
They may be cleansed away, blotted out of
Thy sight.
According to Thy promise, their sins and iniquities
I will remember no more.
And pray, dear Lord, in the coming years,
Thou wouldst make us a blessing to everyone
we meet, whether rich or poor.
Take us anywhere, Lord, make us stand before
the rich or the poor.
That choice is not ours, it is Thine,
and we would not try to influence it.
Send us anywhere, we are Thy servants.
We long to bring satisfaction to Thy heart.
Our meat is to do Thy will.
Our meat is this, that when we come
to the end of our lives, we might
be able to say that we have satisfied
Thy heart, we have finished Thy work and
done Thy will.
Lord, this is our only desire, that when
we get up into glory, that day when
we see Thee face to face, we might
hear those joyful words from Thy lips saying,
well done, Thou good and faithful servant.
Each one of us, this is our desire,
Lord, help us, and if it be Thy
will, Lord, even if it means that we
shed our blood for Thee, prepare us for
that, and Lord, we are ready even for
that.
Just take us and possess us completely, Lord,
at this time.
Every bit of us, every single pie of
money that we have, every bit of energy
that there is in these bodies, and every
bit of time that is ours, Lord, it
is Thine.
It is Thine, Lord, to the best of
our knowledge, we give ourselves to Thee.
Accept us, Lord, we believe that Thou hast
accepted us, and we praise Thee, Lord, to
just worship Thee and adore Thee from our
heart, for this wonderful assurance Thou hast given
us, Thou hast accepted us, Lord, we just
praise Thee.
We crown Thee a fresh King of Kings,
Lord of Lords, King of our lives, and
confess again that Thou alone art worthy to
receive all the glory and honor we offer
to Thee, in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, Lord God, my King and
my Redeemer, I also worship Thee for bringing
me to this day.
I thank Thee for saving me and for
making me Thy possession.
Lord, I thank Thee for all the joy
Thou hast given me each day in my
life.
Thank Thee for the joy of having my
sins fully cleansed and forgiven.
I thank Thee that Thou hast made me
Thine.
I also surrender my body and my whole
being to Thee, unconditionally.
We surrender ourselves to Thee.
We thank Thee that Thou hast accepted this
sacrifice, and we pray that we might mean
it every day of our lives, as long
as Thou dost give us breath, and that
our lives might be used for Thee, to
bring glory to Thee.
We surrender all, all to Thee.
We want our lives to bring satisfaction to
Thee, Lord.
We thank Thee for all the promises Thou
hast given us.
Thank Thee, Lord, that Thou art going before
us.
Thou art with us.
Thou hast promised that Thou wilt never leave
us nor forsake us.
Lord, we just thank Thee and bless Thee
and magnify Thee and adore Thee in His
precious Name.
Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, my name is Matthew M.
On behalf of Thy servants, Thy handmaidens, we
are to be joined together.
Before we give promises and vows, they might
be brought in Thy full possession.
Whatever they say and promises be done with
all their heart, in Thy presence and fully
prepared to bear the whole heartedly.
Lord, make them to feel Thy presence.
And that their union may please Thee and
bring honor unto Thee.
And Thy seal be upon their union.
Lord, Thy pure, unchanging love in their heart
for each other, as they are about to
give promises.

Our Almighty God and our loving Heavenly Father,
we again come to Thee with our hearts
full of joy and full of praise to
Thee for what Thou hast wrought in the
past for these two lives.
Amen.
We thank Thee, dear Lord, for their testimony.
We thank Thee, Lord, for what the Lord
has done in their lives.
And we thank Thee, O Lord, for the
field that is in all our hearts, that
they are joined together in the will of
God.
We believe much prayer has gone up from
many people, and we do praise Thee.
And now, O Lord, we do look to
Thee that the purpose for which Thou hast
joined them together may be fully fulfilled in
these days to come.
They do not know fully, nor do we,
O Lord, just what lies ahead of them.
But we do thank Thee that together in
the Lord they can face every problem and
every trial and every difficulty in the Lord.
And we pray, O Lord, to keep them
close to Thyself.
We know, Lord, that the devil will seek
in many ways to try and separate them
from Thyself in many little subtle ways in
home life to somehow lower the standard.
But we do pray in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ that our brother and
sister may be kept very, very close to
the Lord and that the very vows and
promise they have made may be truly fulfilled
in their life.
We do ask Thee, dear Lord, to bless
them both and to use them abundantly for
Thy glory in these days to come.
O Lord, we thank Thee for their yieldedness
to the Lord's service.
And Lord, Thou art meeting men and women
devoted entirely to Thee.
And we do pray, Lord, to take up
our brother and sister and to use them
for Thy glory and praise.
We do ask Thee, Lord, that wherever their
home is it may be a fragrant home,
may be a home full of Christ, that
all who enter into it and come into
it may be aware of the presence of
the Lord.
And we do pray, dear Lord, to use
their homes for Thy glory.
And grant it may mean that many may
find the Lord Jesus Christ through coming into
contact with them and in their homes.
And Lord, if Thou shouldst give them a
family, we pray Thee to give them wisdom
and understanding how to bring up children in
the knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And we ask Thee, Lord, that the whole
family may be for the glory of the
Lord.
So, our loving Father, we give Thee our
praise for answering prayer for today.
Thank Thee for many prayers that are going
up for them today.
We enter into all that prayer and ask
Thee, Lord, to fully fulfill it and abundantly
glorify Thy name through both their lives in
togetherness as heirs together of the grace of
life.
We ask it in the dear name of
our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
We will sing this song and we pray
also.
Lord Jesus Christ why
I thank the Lord for giving me this
day.
I would like to share with you what
Lord Jesus Christ has been in my life.
I was born in a Christian family.
Before I thought that I was a Christian
automatically.
I used to go to church, Sunday school,
read the Bible, say my prayers.
But I never knew he was Christ as
a personal friend or in Australia.
I knew about him but I did not
know him as a personal friend.
When I was 15, I joined the military
academy.
And I was there for 3 years.
And then another year and a half before
I was commissioned in the Indian Navy.
And it was only then when I was
19 and a half that I came to
know the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal
friend.
Then I knew the Lord Jesus Christ not
only as a person of history but as
a living person who was with me wherever
I went.
Then I knew what real Christianity was.
Then the words in the Bible became living
to me.
And my whole life was changed.
Jesus Christ turned my life upside down from
that time.
Up till that time my ambition in life
was to become the admiral of the Indian
Navy.
But when Jesus Christ took possession of my
life, he showed me the valuelessness of earthly
things.
He opened my eyes to see the value
of things which were eternal.
And he showed me that there were things
far more important than the things I was
striving for.
From then on I longed to please him.
My earthly ambitions went away.
They were replaced by something higher and purer.
Jesus set me free from the bondage of
sin.
And in 1964 on the 6th of May
the Lord Jesus called me for his service.
I remember it so clearly that I cannot
forget it.
He called me so clearly from his word.
It wasn't the man's call.
It wasn't my own feeling.
And the Lord proved to me that that
was his call by releasing me from the
Navy in an impossible situation.
That was the confirmation to me that the
Lord had called me.
That was the confirmation to me that Jesus
Christ still even today had all authority in
heaven and in earth.
And then as Brother Bakht Singh just said
I thought I'd never get married.
I sincerely thought that at that time.
And I was willing to be single if
the Lord called me for it.
But there comes a time in life when
the burdens of the Lord's word need to
be shared.
We read that when some of the children
of Israel sent spies into the land of
Canaan they brought back the grapes of Eshkol
and one man could not carry the bough
himself.
He needed somebody else to carry the other
end of the bough with him.
So when I came to that realization too
I needed somebody else to the other end
of the bough to carry the truth of
Christ to this world.
And it's very wonderful how the Lord led
me to find the one whom He had
chosen for me.
I can honestly say before the Lord I
never sought or hunted for a while.
Even as Adam said to the Lord saying,
Lord give me a wife I did not
go.
It was the Lord who saw Adam's need
and provided the one whom He knew would
fit Adam's need.
And in just the same way the Lord
showed me.
This may seem very strange to you but
I know in experience that the same God
who led Adam led me.
It's not a different God who provided Adam
his wife.
The same God.
He is as living today as in Adam's
time.
And He is as interested in you and
me as He was in Adam.
And the Lord showed me His will so
clearly through circumstances.
Through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit
as I prayed for many weeks to the
witness of fellow believers mature in the Lord
with whom I prayed.
And one day in my quiet time the
Lord gave me such a clear word.
I wasn't looking for it but I found
it.
When I was reading my quiet time portion
in one night it was the day I
had decided that night my quiet time portion
was Ezekiel 44.
And I read in verse 15 and 16
about those who were to serve the Lord
full time.
They were to stand before the Lord all
the time.
And then as I came to verse 22
it says there about these full time workers
taking wives.
I was struck when I saw that word.
I never realized that God could speak so
clearly.
I wasn't looking for this word.
In fact if I had hunted for such
a word I probably wouldn't have found it.
But the Lord speaks.
If we have a regular quiet time He
speaks.
He has spoken to me many times as
clearly as this.
And that's how the Lord led me to
this day.
And our desire together is to bring glory
to the Lord Jesus.
The Lord knows our heart.
That we no longer seek the riches and
honor of this world anymore for they are
rubbish in the sight of God.
There are so many desires the Lord has
given us in our hearts to bring satisfaction
to Him.
And this hymn which we just sung is
something which the Lord helped us to compose
to express the desire of our hearts to
serve Him.
And these words express that which we long
to do though as we said here we
find in our strength unable but only able
in His strength.
Amen.
So we would ask you to pray for
us.
Many of you have been praying regularly.
We are really grateful to each one of
you who has prayed so much for this
day.
I know this.
This day would never have come if it
were not for many, especially servants of the
Lord who have been praying for me.
I am so grateful to so many of
you who have come from such distances to
express your love and affection for us.
Above all, let me say this.
There is something which will bring far greater
joy to our hearts and that is if
you too experience the Lord Jesus living in
your life.
Let me invite you to open your heart
to the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is as much difference between Christianity by
name and Christianity in experiences there is between
heaven and earth.
May the Lord lead you into that which
He has led us into.
Thank you, each one for coming.
I also want to say it is a
teaching for the glory of God.
Very early in my childhood my father had
taught me that it was not necessary just
to be a teaching Christian.
And I praise God for giving me a
day eleven years ago when He helped me
to turn to Him.
And when He opened my eyes to see
what I read within an hour and even
now that is what I am.
And He told me what a lot Christ
had suffered for me.
I praise Him for that because that made
a lot of difference in my life.
Many of my difficulties the Lord made me
to be grateful in that.
And I praise God and give glory to
the Lord for that.
A few months after that the Lord helped
me to obey Him in the office of
baptism.
And then the Lord began leading me, teaching
me so many things.
When I came to medical college the Lord
friended me and told me that He wanted
me to work in a certain specialty hospital.
And the Lord taught me much by preparing
me for that hospital.
And He kept my consecration to Him because
of that specialty.
For that also I give all the glory
to God.
Often I would have left that consecration.
But the Lord kept on reminding me of
that consecration.
And when I was praying regarding my marriage,
the Lord spoke to me very definitely.
And He gave me much peace in my
heart that this is His will.
I was reading that day from Luke chapter
12.
And the Lord spoke to me through that
same chapter.
And this day verses 29 to 31 the
Lord spoke to me in a new way.
Verses 29 to 31 the Lord spoke to
me in a new way through these three
verses.
Luke chapter 12 verses 29 to 31 the
Lord spoke to me in a new way
through these three verses.
The Lord gave me much peace because marriage
can often mean what verse 29 implies.
Earthly things can always come in between.
So I am grateful to the Lord for
giving me this verse.
And the Lord a few minutes ago gave
me a definite experience that I am still
in His way.
And He gave me the assurance that He
has anointed me by His Holy Spirit.
And that time He gave me a verse
which again is very precious to me.
And that is 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and
verse 18.
We look not at the things which are
seen but at the things which are not
seen.
For the things which are seen are central
but the things which are not seen are
eternal.
The Lord told me how in my past
life many of the things I was looking
for, looking at were central things.
And He had opened my eyes more to
show that I should look for eternal things.
And work for Him from the point of
view of eternity.
And I praise God for being equal to
you here to share with us in our
joys.
God bless you.
Because in the Christmas week of 1939 when
Lord my son Zachariah was a little babe,
2 months old, when a bhakti came to
our house in Coimbatore, took up this little
boy and dedicated him to God and prayed
that God might use him as His servant.
We thank God that his prayer has been
answered.
I thought when he was a naval officer
that brother bhakti's prayer has not been fully
answered.
But God's ways are mysterious and He turned
it around so that brother bhakti's prayer was
fully answered.
