How The Candle Got Lit

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 7:7-11

I have been going to some Pentecostal churches in Dubai for some time, but I had a hunger deep down in my heart to serve God better and to seek the truth.

I realized that among the Pentecostal pastors, each church esteemed itself better than the other groups, and each pastor discouraged me to visit other churches. The discouragement did not go well with me, and that forced me to seek God's face by seeking the true way of worship. I went before God, praying desperately daily for three months and asking God to show me the truth. One day God appeared to me in a dream and he said you must go and fellowship in the church where there is Winfred and Nelson. After the dream I started to phone all the 40 churches in Dubai that I knew, asking the two names and none of them confirmed to know the two people.

I phoned back home in India to check all churches I had heard about, but no locations confirmed to know the two. Thereafter, one day God stirred the heart of a brother by the name of Zechariah whom I had known before but we had never talked about anything related to religion. He phoned me and he wanted to meet me. At our meeting he started to tell me about true baptism by expounding scriptures, followed by an invitation to where he was fellowshipping. As agreed, I visited the church and I noticed a difference in the preaching. I had never told Bro. Zechariah about my desire and what God had shown to me in a dream.

On the third week of attending services, that was when I came to know that the pastor of the message church in Dubai who is Brother Nelson and assistant pastor is Bro. Winfred. Since that day, I know I am at the right place and I cannot be moved. I took right baptism according to Acts 2:38, and I also understood about the prophet of Malachi being Bro. William Branham. I am at peace now reading the Message and hearing the Voice of God. I thank the Lord for His mysterious way of leading me to the truth.

God answers prayer.
