Testimony of life
I am Prakash Giri from
Nepal. I was born in 21st June 1990 in a remote village of Nepal
called Sindhupalchowk. I become believer
in 25 September 2012. And I get baptized on 14 April 2013. From that I am
following the path of Jesus. Every black cloud have the silver ring, the prayer
of hope bring me in his faith. I never choose the God but he has chosen before I was born or even
this world come in this form as the bible says in Ephesians 1:4 "for he chose us in
him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.”
Everyone have their own
story to know Jesus and I had mine one. The main question still remains what
Jesus asked to Peter in Mark 8:29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you
say I am?” all have different answers I have differ answer too. But more
knowledge of Jesus makes you free from the dark world and gives you the light
in the darkness in your life. I am born in Hindu family and grown in the mixed
culture I suppose that I am very graceful person in this world. My uncle is
addicted in alcohol when he was in aboard for placement a person preach gospel
to him, he went to church that he feels peace in his heart he didn’t need
alcohol to sleep, he receive Jesus and come back to Nepal. My family is not
happy with him what he had decided he share his testimony to my elder sister
she also went to church to church far away from village she also receives the
Jesus because of this When I was in Hindu I have seen the power of God in my
home. If a cow or buffalo get ill my sister used to pray and the next day it will
be completely heal, and I see the same character when a priest came and make
some ritual things it also be healed. And I saw that when someone becomes a
Christian they get ignored from the family and society. I can be said eye
witness of it. While I am growing up in my heart I develop the think that there
is only one God and the way we called him is differ. I make the research of
different believe and made another conclusion that positive vibe and negative
vibe are only exist, positive vibe is from god and negative vibe from evil all
other things are made by people as they seen and the culture they grown up.
Time goes very fast, One day my mother become very ill, we took her hospital we
didn’t find any problem but her condition is serious. We try medicine but it
won’t work on her, my elder sister pray for her and called her pastor to pray
to my mum, Saturday she went church and she get healing , after this my little
went church and they become believer, everyday they have a fellowship in home
and pray for the salvation of our family. One day my father wants to make
discuss with pastor and went to church and amazing thing happen that he change
his heart and follow Jesus. I am only one left in my house I see the power of
God but I close my heart and eyes not to see his work. Today I believe that
every prayer you made from your heart have meaning in Jesus, he is listening
all of our prayer and reply one day. But my conclusions are very strong religions
are for creating positive vibe nothing more than this. If there is God he will reveals me in his way
but not the way people are saying. As I am growing up I used to have some Beer
or alcohol to make fun with friends at weekends normally I used to drink to
have fun. I remember a start is always small but when it grows you never know
until or unless when you realized your start point. I remember the day when I
used to work in a trekking shop in Thamel a lady come into my shop and said me
GOD loves you very much I was rude to her and explain my thoughts and I replied I am OK where I am, I explain her
about Hindu god Shiva. The lady get disappointed and left me. Time passes, I am
growing up, I am a good son in family I never did wrong to any one and I have lots
of friends who love me. I am happy with my life. One day my elder sister get
sickness, she seems to be OK but she have no courage to do anything, she rest
in home for a long and she ask me to take her in church, I am not willing to do
this job but there is no option I have to take to her. When I am in church
there is prophesied come “Dear son listen to me, open your heart” I don’t care.
There is holiday starting and whole night prayer and my sister want to go
there, and I need to take her when there is prayer God speak to me in my heart
son I have chosen you, there is no option for you weather you believe in your
good time or in your bad time choices is yours? I feel pain spiritually now I
have to decide it’s really hard to make decision when you have option. Finally
my heart says choose him in good time so that he care you in your entire
situation he never left you .Now my conclusion of positive and negative vibe
become worthless because without Jesus you can’t connect to the supernatural
divine as the book of Romans declared that in earth there no other name is
given for salvation among humans. God reveal himself to me that he the way and
the true light which make me freedom and declare my salvation. And I accept him
as my savior and lord in 25th September 2012 in Dharmikta Mandali
given by pastor Padam Parajuli, it is the day where there is a festival Nepal
called bada Dashin that they people were celebrating TIKA from elder person as
the truth is win, that day is special for me because when I read the book of
Revelation I found those who believe in him get the stamp of holy spirit in
their forehead, finally truth of life wins in my life. After accepting Jesus I
went to a brother house where I meet a great warrior of Christ, who planted
more than 300 churches, and preach almost all over Nepal, who become backslide,
I hear his struggle and what is going inside the church I feel cry and finally
I come to that if look a pastor or a believer I may fall in life I need to
follow Jesus and follow what the bible says not what the people said. When I
read the bible I found the verse in book of Hosea 4:6 “my people
are destroyed from lack of knowledge…” it make thought twice I see the
spiritually even Christian also dying to avoid this you need know more Jesus, I
take basic bible foundation course in pillar academy, one day there was a missionary team from Brazil they see the vision
from God for me, that I become a light house in a ocean, it gives me a great
challenge to save my people I need more power of God and need to grow in the
studies of bible practically, after this I get baptized in Nepali new
year 14th April 2013 i.e Baishak 1. And from that time I am in God control for
my all decision. Now days I in Qatar, having a job I meet so many people here
when I have a discussion to a educate person who follow the secularism I found
myself lacking the knowledge of bible and praying to lord provide that
opportunity to read his words and make me the warrior for the people dying
without Jesus. I am walking in God way
through different struggle and obstacle I found prayer is saving me from evil
in each steps of my life.
We worship to the God who is
alive, I encourage you, your prayer never get worthless, as my uncle and sister prayed my family for
almost 16 years it’s not a small time phase but God work in his way and give
answer to the prayer. If you were sick and staying home please go to church
with someone you may not be heal but the person may find the way to heal his
soul from soul.

Timothy:2:3-4 ( Join with me in
suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a
soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his
commanding officer.)
