Cottage Prayer Meeting – 25 August 2026
Today, 25 August 2026, our Cottage Prayer Meeting was graciously hosted by our beloved church member Mr. Joshua Rufus and family at 7.00 pm.
The meeting commenced with the opening prayer offered by Mrs. Eedit Sailas. A heartfelt witness was shared by Mr. Joshua Rufus and Mrs. Pemima Joshua. The Scripture reading from Mark 6:21–44 was read by Mrs. Nesamani Hepziba.
The Word of God was shared by Rev. Dr. Sailas Gnanadoss, who beautifully highlighted two significant incidents from the Scripture—*a sorrowful incident and a joyous act*.
1. The life of John the Baptist, a righteous man who boldly spoke the truth. Despite his honesty and righteousness, he was beheaded by King Herod. Yet, his life continues to inspire us because of his faithfulness and commitment to what is right. As mentioned in Matthew 11:11, Jesus Himself spoke of the greatness of John the Baptist among those born of women.
2. The joyous miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand. In earlier times, providing a great feast for people was often associated with kings. In this passage, we see how Jesus used the humble offering of five loaves and two fish to feed a multitude of five thousand people. This reminds us of the abundant provision and compassionate love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The meeting was blessed with the presence of many church members, and it was truly a wonderful time of prayer, fellowship, and spiritual nourishment for everyone.
All glory and honour be to our Lord Jesus Christ!
