Testimony of Bishop Gunasekaran Samuel

Born to Mr.Thambiraj Samuel in a discarded village in South Tamilnadu in South India in the District of Trinelveli IYYTHANGKATTALAI village near Tenkasi Alankulam in the year 1962 came down to live in Chennai, the capital city of Tamilnadu, due to his fathers official work in the year 1965.His father bought a new BIBLE when he was born, took it to an Anglican church kept it on the Alter table and prayed to God that Bishop Samuel should use this particular Bible in his life and serve the Lord all through his life and dedicated him for the Lords Ministry.

While he was a young boy his father reminded him always that he should do the Lords ministry only,after his studies and not to get into any commercial job of this earth. While he was schooling he stood first in his class in all the exams. So when he was 12 years old his father had a secondary thought that because he is doing well in his studies he can study medical  science and become a doctor and serve the Lord and the people. But one day while he was in that same age he was not able to get out from his bed in the morning after the night sleep. His right side of his body was totally paralysed and couldnt move on the right side and so tried to use his left side but could not keep his right leg down on the floor. Totally he was on his bed. His father called all the special doctors  and tried  to give treatment for more than three months but all failed. Atlast his father realised that he failed his commitment of the sons dedication and so prayed unto the Lord. The very moment he came and told Bishop Samuel that he should dedicate his life to the Lord and serve Him.Bishop Samuel  cried unto the Lord in his bed  and dedicated himself saying, "Lord if you deliver me out of his bed I WOULD GO AROUND THE WORLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL NO MATTER WHAT MEN MAY SAY OR NO MATTER WHAT SITUATION I MAY STAND TRUE TO YOUR CALLING". The Lord heard his crying and his truthful dedication, the very next day Bishop Samuel got out of his bed jumped,walked,started running. Oh what a wonderful God is He. From that day Bishop Samuel started running for the Lord sake till today. God has filled him with His Holy Spirit and started using him in a mighty way. People where healed, Demons where driven, Prophesy came out from his mouth and wonders happened.

After his schooling Bishop Samuel completed his Theological studies till M.Th and then after some years of ministry he was Honoured Doctor in Ministries.Bishop Samuel says that whoever would  like  to serve the  Lord, they should go to Bible school atleast for a year before they could start to serve the Lord. Bishop started his career as a child evangelist in the year 1982, working among children, then became a crusade preacher then joined as Deacon in 1990, in one of the Diocese in Chennai. He was Ordianed as a Priest 1992 and slowly the Lord gave him ability to plant many churches. Slowly the Lord took him to Higher levels. As the word of the lord says, "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall faint and not be weary they shall fall and not be sad". Today by Gods grace and mercy there are five Dioceses and Six Bishops, 280 Priests and 320 churches under his jurisdictions. The Lord uplifted him as the Deputy Moderator, its really a wonder.

ALL GLORY AND PRAISES AND HONOUR BE TO GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.
