Take The Fear Out Of Your Love

Sometimes in life fear and faith go together. Sometimes one does certain things in life because of fear. Sometimes we do things in fear even in faith. Even in what seems like faith there is fear. But we are told in the Bible that perfect love drives out fear, that the one perfected in love will not fear. There should be no fear in love. And the ultimate object of faith is to arrive at love. The ultimate desire of everyone who follows God is to arrive at love. The ultimate aim of everyone who wants to know God is to know that love, not only to know that love but also to practise it. So let us not be afraid today, those who wish to know the love of God. Let us not be afraid today. Let us not be afraid of God. Let us not fear his judgement. But let us be aware of his love. And let us seek his love and desire his love and want to experience his love in our own lives. Let what we do for God today be without fear. May what we do for God today be an act of love and purely an act of love.

Create In Me A Clean Heart

A beautiful prayer that remains relevant every day

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)


The Lord's My Shepherd

How can I want when the Lord is my shepherd? He provides for me and makes me rest in green pastures and beside still waters. He shields me from dangers and blesses me despite fierce opposition. Surely with a God like this all my days will be bright and blessed.

Unto Jesus be all glory, power and praise.

I worship the Lord Jesus Christ.

May This Passion For God Continue

So the need for speaking about God is this: that others may know Him and believe in Him and worship Him and be united with Him forever. This is why it is important to speak about God. This is the reason why I speak about God. This is the reason why I have abandoned everything in the world to do His work. The passion that rules me is the passion to know God and to let others know God. May this passion continue. May God help this ministry to go on.


From Hater Of God To Spokesman Of God

I started as a child of a Hindu. I started as an atheist, who made fun of God, and of everyone who believed in God.  And now I've turned into someone who speaks for God. My story is not very different from that of Saint Paul, who was also a hater of God, and who did not believe in Jesus at a certain point in his life, but later on became the greatest defendant of Jesus as well as His greatest spokesman. This is my story. I tried to make it short. But I hope I made it meaningful.

Why Should We Tell People About God?

The reason why I speak about God is that others may know Him and be saved so that they may be with Him eternally. If they do not know God and if they do not worship Him they are in the danger of being eternally separated from Him. This is the danger, which prompts me to speak about God. And this is the danger why people speak about God. This is the reason why people do work for God. This is the reason why ministries are conducted. Because there is this fear that if no one ministers to certain people, they may not know God and they may not worship Him, and as a consequence they may be separated from God for ever. So the need for speaking about God is this: that others may know Him and believe in Him and worship Him and be united with Him forever. This is the reason why it is important for us to speak about God.

How I Used My Computer To Speak About God

Later in 2005 I got my computer. I bought a laptop, but I didn't know how to use a computer. I just learned it from scratch. And I made all kinds of mistakes while learning. And those mistakes helped me learn what I needed to learn. And in 2007 I started a channel on YouTube, the channel which is entitled "Samuel Godfrey George". When I started the channel, I never thought that I would speak about God. I thought that I would read some poems and maybe read a Bible passage every now and then. That's how it really was until 2010 when my mother was hospitalized twice. In 2011 my aunt was hospitalized. These three incidents and my own ill health in 2010 prompted me to go very close to God. In 2010 I had a feeling that I might die. So I just dove into Bible books, and Bible reading and Christian books, and I seriously started to question many things in my life. And I wanted to know more about God and share my knowledge of God with others. So that's how it started. In 2011 I started to speak about God, and it went on into 2012 and into 2013. And now I'm teaching and speaking about God. And I've got some people in the world, who say to me that my teaching is helpful to them. And I'm thankful for that. And I'm glad to share God with anyone.

Do Not Give Up Today

If you try long enough, if you persist long enough, you will succeed. You will do what you want to do. You will speak what you want to speak. This is what I have discovered. I will not give up even if I fail a few times. I will not give up even if I fail many times. I will not give up. I will believe that there will come a time when I will find the right expression of my exact thoughts. I will not give up. And I don't want you to give up today - whatever you are trying to do. If you are trying to do a worthy thing according to the will of God, keep trying even if you do not succeed. If you keep at it long enough you will succeed. Believe that the One who has called you to do this has given you the strength to do it. And you will find that strength, maybe not immediately, but eventually you will. Do not give up today.

Why I Am A Christian

Someone asked me once, "Why are you not a Muslim?" Why am I not a Muslim? The answer is simple. I wasn't born into a Muslim family. I wasn't raised in a Muslim environment. So I have no knowledge of the Muslim faith. There is another answer. I discovered the Lord Jesus Christ.

I was raised a Christian. When I was a child I went to church. I participated in Christian services. But I did not know Christ then. Later on, when I became a young man, I abandoned faith. I found it belittling. I thought it was fit only for fools. I thought faith was tailor-made for fools. I did not believe in any god. I did not believe in any faith. I chose to believe that God does not exist. I chose to believe that it is pointless to believe.

Later I discovered God. It happened casually. It was not premeditated. It happened suddenly. There were certain factors that contributed to my return to God. Christian television is one factor. I started to watch missionaries and healers. And I started to ask the question, "Could this God be real?" That's how it all began.

And then I read the Bible. I was stunned to note that the Bible was a most interesting book, and that the Old Testament was a shattering tale of a failure of an immense love. There was a great lover, and his love was rejected. The experience was overwhelming. Thus I was drawn to the Christian faith when I read the Bible. I was drawn to Christ. Above all, I was drawn to God the Father. And that's how it came into being - my Christian faith and my Christianness.

Years later I started a work for God. How did this happen? I got tired of what I was doing in the world. I was not impressed. I was not inspired. And then I was not required. And when I was not required, I stepped out and walked out into the area of faith. I became a missionary for Christ. I became a minister. I became a pastor. I became a shepherd.

So that's the reason why I am a Christian. That's also the reason why I am not a Muslim and why I am not a Hindu or a Buddhist. I have little knowledge of other religions. And I don't want to know about them. Because Christianity and Christ are enough for me.  Christianity gives me sufficient information regarding myself and regarding the world. I don't need to seek information elsewhere. At times I do read about other faiths. I even read about atheism. I do read other explanations of life. However Christianity will do for me. Christ will do for me.

Are You Feeling Lonely Today?

Are you feeling lonely today? Are you afraid of something today? Are you worried? Do you need someone to be with you today? Do you think that there is no one to be with you today? If you think that, there is someone I know. And this person stays with me, and goes with me wherever I go. This person is always with me, ready to give me strength, at a time when I need it most. And this person is ready to help you as well. I call him Lord. I call him God. I call him Jesus. He has promised never to leave his people alone. He has promised never to leave me alone. He has promised never to leave you alone. Believe in him today. Ask him to come. Ask him to help you. He will not disappoint you.

What I Learned From An Uninspiring Book

I started to read a book that I thought I would never read in my life. The Bible always seemed like a very uninspiring book. But when I picked up a copy of The Student Bible, edited by Philip Yancey in the year 2001, it became my favourite book to read. I started to read the Bible as though it were a novel. And I enjoyed reading every bit of it. I made notes. I highlighted passages. I colour-coded my my Bible.

When I read Romans 7, I realized that Paul was speaking about a struggle that I was going through in my life. And when I read it, I said to myself, "Sam, this is your story that Paul has written about. This is your life. This book is real! This book is just the best thing I've ever read! And this is the answer to my life's problems." And that's when I started to truly believe in the Bible.

In 2004 my father passed away, as I was just completing my reading of the Bible. And this was a very difficult time in my life. I thought that it might destroy my faith as I had asked God to heal my father. But my father passed away. That should have destroyed my faith. But I was reading Job at that time. Job was one of the final books that I read in the Bible. And Job says at a certain point in that book, "Even though he slay me, yet will I hope in him." And those words stayed in my mind. Even though God may destroy me, I will still hope in him. And that made me believe in God. That made me believe at a time when belief was very difficult. That made me keep on trusting in God, when I didn't see any reason to trust him after what he did with my father. So that's how it all started. My faith really grew when my father died. Instead of abandoning my faith, I continued to believe in God.

When An Unbeliever Prayed

I was born to a Hindu and to a Christian. My father never forced me to believe in any God. Nor did he guide me to any God. But when I was young I had a certain dream. In this dream I saw a raging fire in the sky. And I cried out to this fire, "I will serve you!" I assumed that it was God. The very next day I said to my father that I wanted to see Jesus. And I was quite mad about seeing Him that day.  My father said, "Jesus will appear to you someday, perhaps not today."

And then, as I grew up, I forgot about the Lord Jesus Christ. And God was not even on my mind. When I went to college I was godless. I didn't believe in any god. In fact I made fun of God. My atheist friend and I together made fun of God, and we made fun of everyone who believed in God. And we made fun of the Jesuits who ran the college. And we asked them difficult questions that they couldn't answer. Those were my days as an unbeliever.

When I came to this city in 1999, I was still an unbeliever. And I hardly spoke about Jesus. And if I did speak about Him, it was certainly not complimentary. Something happened in the year 2000. I suddenly felt an urge to pray to God. Maybe it was because I was watching a lot of Christian television at that time. I watched many people speak about Christ. I watched a certain person called Benny Hinn. And I saw his miracle crusades. And he made me laugh at first. And then the laughter dwindled into a smile. And the smile dwindled into a thought. And I thought, "Could this Christ be real? Are these miracles real?" That was when I started to pray. I prayed casually at first. I didn't expect anything to happen when I prayed. But I received answers to my prayers, and that shocked me. That certainly increased my faith, which was just beginning to appear.

That's What I Am

Is Christianity what I teach? Or is it spirituality? Or do I teach anything at all? Do I teach about the way as I see it, the way to God? Jesus declared Himself to be the Way, the Truth and the Life. If He is the Way, I want to speak about this Way. But can I teach about it? I consider myself more of a student than a teacher. Still that does not prevent me from calling myself a teacher. I do believe that I discuss reasonably enough to be called a teacher. 

So what am I? I am someone who believes in the Truth of Jesus Christ, someone who wants to explore this Truth, someone who likes to lead other people to this Truth. That's what I am. Does that make me a teacher, or a guide, or a spiritual counsellor? I don't know what that makes me. But it certainly makes me a worker of God - someone who believes in God and works for Him at the same time - someone who works for the God of the Bible: Jehovah the Father and Jesus the Son. And I do this work by cooperating with His Holy Spirit. That's what I am.

We Can Live The Godly Life

This is the realization. You and I, who have accepted Jesus Christ, do not have to worry any more. We are free. We are free to live our lives as God wants us to live our lives. We are free to pursue the light without the fear of darkness. We can embrace the light. We can seek the things of God without any fear and without any hindrance. And even if the devil were to tell us that we cannot do that, that we cannot seek the light, that we are still in darkness, tell him that it's an absolute lie. And you can expose his lie and say, "You are a liar. You have been called a liar by the Lord Jesus Christ, and He speaks no lies. He speaks no untruth. The Lord Jesus is the Truth. He is the Way, The Truth and the Life. And if He calls you a liar, you are indeed a liar. And so what you say to me today is also a lie." Say that to him. Tell him that he is a liar. And move on.

Move on. Live your life without hindrance and without obstacles. Strip away the obstacles. You have the power to do that. You have been equipped with everything that is required for the godly life. You may not believe it. But it's all in there. You have to take out every armour that is in there. You must take out every weapon that is in there. And God has given you every weapon that is required to fight against the evil forces in this world.

No Longer Are We Separated From God

This is the realization. Sin is terrible. Sin is horrible. Sin separates Man from God. And Man is not meant to be separate from God. Man should be united with God. Man was made by God for God. The purpose of Man is to be united with God. But sin separates Man from God. A sinful man cannot enter the presence of God. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No human being can ever approach God because of his or her sinfulness. And this enormous problem of separation was solved by the Lord Jesus Christ when He died for the sins of humanity. At that moment He removed the curtain between us and God. So no longer is Man separated from God. Jesus Christ has thus united God and Man.

We are now sinless. God regards us as sinless because He who was not sin became sin for our sakes, and since He became our sin we became His righteousness. Jesus is righteous. He is the Son of God. When He came down to earth He was most certainly the only righteous man who ever lived. And when He died for us as a righteous man He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins. And thus our sins have been wiped away. And because they have been wiped away we are seen as sinless by God, even though we may still sin for we are still in the flesh, and as long as we remain in the flesh, we will sin.

How do we worship God?

Many people go to church to worship God. Denominational differences in Christianity may involve different styles of worship. But what ...
