Gifts From God’s Presence Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
The lips of the righteous nourish many (Proverbs 10:21).
My father, Bro. D.G.S.Dhinakaran finished his earthly race and was taken into God’s presence on 20th February 2008. Bible declares, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalm 116:15). I thank God for His faithfulness and for His awesome works.
The Lord intervened with my father Dhinakaran when he was a young man on February 11th, 1955. He was depressed and decided to end his life at a very young age and was in the process of doing so. At that time, the message of the love of Jesus reached my father through his uncle who had already tasted God’s love. The Lord graciously saved my father when he cried and prayed at the feet of the Lord as per the guidance of his uncle. From that day onwards when my father came to know about the love of God, he began to declare it to others and today, this ‘Jesus Calls’ ministry has expanded in such a vast manner. The songs sung by my father D.G.S.Dhinakaran, God’s messages he gave and the powerful witnesses God had raised through him, led crores of people to the Lord.

Even after my father’s demise, his comforting messages, powerful prayers and songs lead many to Christ even today. The Bible says, “The lips of the righteous nourish many” (Proverbs 10:21). The little that which is yielded to God would always multiply! My father’s secret to successful and fruitful ministry came from waiting in the presence of God. Until God speaks, he never left God’s presence. This is the reason why God used him to touch millions of people around the world. Yes, God is the best Counsellor at all times.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit always. No mountain is too big before the great God. Mountain-like problems will melt like wax in His presence. Keep reading and meditating the word of God. The psalmist says, “…but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers” (Psalm 1:2-3). Beloved, choose to practise staying in God’s presence.
Prayer:
Dear Father in Heaven,
You are the Lord of lords and King of kings. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Give me unquenchable desire to read and meditate the Word of God. Make me a house built on the Rock Jesus. I need Your wisdom and favour to make right and rich decisions on everything concerning my life. Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
