A Bridge Between India And Africa


Arun Nigam's Life Story



A bridge between India and Africa
Arun Nigam, is a Holy Spirit led preacher of Word of God. God has anointed him with prophetic gift and uses him to heal and deliver his people.
In 1999 when he was on his official trip to Kigoma, Tanzania as he was working for a pharmaceutical company as GM, he met with an accident and fractured his back bone. Doctors wrote him off and he suffered badly for two years. In 2001 he came to know Jesus and Jesus healed him instantly. When he was prayed over the power of God came upon his hand which was not straight after the accident and upon the finger which was injured and dislocated. God put these things straight. Afterwards the power of God came upon his back and he was pushed to bend front and back, that very movement the pain left him and the body which was almost paralyzed became whole.
Since then he began to serve in his pastor’s ministry. After three years of serving in World Agape Ministries, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, in 2004 God opened the job opportunity for him once again as GM in a mining company in Kolwezi, Congo and there God used him mightily to save and heal people. In 2005, God took him to India and there he reached the world with God’s message of healing and deliverance in Lucknow, (UP) India.
Once again in 2008, God opened the doors for him to be in Tanzania. In March 2011,

About His Ministry in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
What We Do



A burden to see lives set free from the bondage and transformed for the better through relationship with God.

One Year of Ministry in Tanzania 

That is how we started on 13th March 2011.
In order to know the will of God on 7th March we decided to go for street evangelism. We asked God as we are going to evangelize this whole week; you show us your will. If you want us to start ministry here then Sunday you bring people and work in their lives. From Monday to Friday we went on the streets and spoke to people about Jesus, prayed for them and many were healed. On Saturday we fasted and prayed for Sunday. On Sunday the 13th March 2011, when we were worshipping the Lord, our neighbor knocked at the door. We prayed together and then she said she had been suffering from swelling in her leg for last 7 years that’s why she has pain in her leg and she could not walk properly.
God moved when we prayed and pain disappeared, next day she came to show her leg. Praise the Lord she had no swelling.
In this above photo she is standing in the middle.
God gave us green signal.
And we grew-

Be That Person

 Read Hebrew 1:3
The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.
Who?
Say - Jesus!
He upholds
And maintains
And guides
And propels the universe by His mighty word of power
Say – By Words
Words are the most important and powerful things in the universe. Everything is held in obedience to what He said
See the Moon and the Sun and the stars they stay in orbit because of the word.
The world is formed by the word of God.
Ask your neighbor- who will create your world?
Say- I will create my world by my words.
When we talk about salvation- some will say - I do not believe  
And other will say - I am agreeing to believe in
By their confession with their mouth they will be saved
Why am I talking about confession today?
1. Because God wants to remind you that you were saved from the hell by the word you spoke from your Mouth and believed in your heart
2. God wants you to know that all the angels are subjected to Him and you are in the likeness of God, saved and purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, you are the coheir with Jesus Christ, so angels are there to serve you as well.     
3. Demons were also the angels, they became demons after they were thrown down from heaven. God wants you to know they will also obey you.
Why?
Say- Because of the blood of Jesus
Read Proverb 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
A simple question-
How will you eat its fruit?
Say – By releasing positive energy
People of God do not be fooled. Let me share one very strong testimony which will open your eyes. Two to three weeks back when we were having prayers for church, God opened one of the member’s eyes and she began to see the angels all around and behind everyone. They were just standing doing nothing but when we began to release word as per the will of God, angels moved immediately into operation.
Now this was the result of positive energy
Think over - what about the result of negative energy
Let us read Job 1:6
See it for yourself, where there are angels and presence of God, Satan is also there.
Negative words which come out of our mouth gives energy to Satan.
Angels need positive energy to work and demons work with the negative energy
Ask your neighbor – how many times have you made demons active?
Satan has no personal energy of his own. He needs negative energy to do his harmful work to you and to others.
Before I go ahead, I want to share a testimony.
My son wanted to study at ORU but things were not easy-
1. We did not have enough money
2.  His scholarship deadline was at the door
3. University required he send his transcript to certain company for evaluation
4. The company demanded that the transcript must have a verification stamp and signature from the education board.
5. It means it would take more than a month for this process before he could complete his application.
I praise God for the wisdom he gave to our son
Our son stood on the promise of God and declared Joshua 10:12 “Let the sun stand still”
He asked us not to speak even a single word of doubt. Whenever he thought we would speak some kind of advice to waver his faith, he would say, “Don’t say a word, devil is here and we should not give him chance to work against my admission.”
So the end result is this, he was late by more than a month but still his sun stood still. They accepted his application for the competition and see what happened, he made it, because of believing in the word and knowing the word of power and not letting devil hear a word of negative energy.
Though the devil was near but he could not do anything!
Praise the Lord!
What we need to do
Say – make a quality choice
1. As per Proverb 18:21 Choose life
2. As per Psalms 107:20 send the word of healing, success, and building
3. As per Mark 10:51 speak the solution to your problems.
“Say- God I have a problem. But here is the promise that answers the problem, as I pray this promise, I am releasing your energy into the problem.”
Now pray the answer
Must Remember-
1. God’s words are His energy and it is always working. Read 2 King 13:21
2. God’s energy opens the door that no one can shut. Read Isaiah 22:22
3. Everything you need is in the word. Psalms 33:6 and 9
4. Jesus is the word He spoke the word and miracles took place, and He is in you.
Be like Joshua, whose sun stood still,
Be like Elijah who spoke and it did not rain
Be like Jesus your master
We do not speak the word because we do not think anything will happen if we do. Our troubles and weaknesses stand over us and if we do not put energy into it to get rid of them, then that is our problem
God has not changed his methods. Read 1 Samuel 3:19
So Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground
God is still looking for people through whom He can speak the word of faith.
Be That Person

Angels Are Listening You!


There are so many different ideas people have about angels, Some think that angels are little, chubby babies flying around holding a little toy disguised as a bow and arrow.
But the Bible describes angels as great, big warriors that are here to guide, protect and deliver us.
Some also think that angels are people who have died.
But the Bible makes a clear distinction between saints and angels. Angels are a different class of beings than humans.
What are angels?
Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14 tells us: "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
Three important facts about angels are mentioned in this verse. Number one, angels are spirits, therefore they are not usually seen.
The second fact reveals that the duty of angels is to minister and serve humans. Humans do not serve angels, angels serve humans.
And the third truth about angels is that their ministry is limited primarily to those who are or will be saved.
They are not required to serve the unsaved; though, because of God's mercy to all, they do help nearly everyone.
ANGELS UNDER THE NEW COVENANT
Hebrews 8:6 says that we have a better covenant based on better promises than people had under the Old Covenant. This is true concerning the ministry of angels.
Under the Old Covenant, the saints did not have authority over the angels, therefore they had to wait on them for help.
Today, angels wait on us because now we can use the name of Jesus, which is a greater name than angels, to dispatch angels to do their work.
Prior to the cross, the scriptures taught that Jesus was "made a little lower than the angels." But the scriptures teach that now he is "crowned with glory and honor" so that angels submit to Him and His name (see Hebrews 2:9, 1 Peter 3:22 and Philippians 2:10).
1 Corinthians 6:3 says that we will judge angels.
The judge is always greater than those who are judged. The scriptures inform us that believers have authority to dispatch angels to minister on their behalf.
Have you been dispatching your angels?
Or have they been sitting idle waiting for you to put them to work?
LOOSING YOUR ANGELS
In Matthew 18:18, Jesus gave the Church the keys of the kingdom of heaven. He said, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Most of us have heard this scripture used to "bind" the devil and demons.
And the Bible does tell us that we can "bind the strong man", and that a mighty angel will "bind the devil for a thousand years". The word "bind" is a term to describe our power to "tie up" Satan.
However, Jesus also said that we have the power to "loose". And what do we loose? Certainly, not Satan.
Then who?
Angels of course
A voice said, "Loose the four angels which are bound...And the four angels were loosed" (Revelation 9:14-15 KJV).
You can readily see that angels are meant to be loosed. And who has the power to loose angels? Jesus said that we do. We have the keys of the kingdom!
You might ask the question, "How do we loose angels?"
I think it would help us to answer this question by going to Psalm 103 and reading verse 20. It says, "Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the VOICE of his word." (KJV)
Notice that angels hearken--listen and act upon--the VOICE of God's Word.
We know that the Bible is God's Word.
But angels don't hearken just to God's Word, but they hearken to the voice of His Word.
Try this-
Take your Bible and place it next to your ear. Stop! Listen!
What do you hear?
NOTHING!
Why?
Because the Bible does not have a voice unless we give it a voice
In other words, angels act on God's Word that we speak out of our mouths. They listen to us speaking God's Word. And when we speak God's Word, angels rush to perform it in our lives.
Can you see how we have hindered angels in performing their duties for us?
We bind angels when we speak contrary to God's Word, and say things such as –
"Nothing ever works out for me."
"If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all."
"I'm so clumsy."
"I can't seem to get out of debt."
ANGELS LISTEN TO OUR WORDS
Jesus said, "Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God" (Luke 12:8, KJV). Jesus declares to the angels what we declare.
When we confessed that Jesus was our Lord, Jesus confessed to the angels that He was our Lord. Angels are aware of what we confess here on earth. Jesus echo's our words to the angels, and depending on what we say, they bring to pass our words.
There's an interesting story in the Bible which illustrates this truth. You know the story. Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days, and while being tempted Jesus did only one thing: He spoke the Word of God. He kept saying, "It is written...It is written...It is written." After Jesus kept quoting God's Word, the Bible says, "Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him" (Matthew 4:11).
Do you suppose the reason why the angels came to Jesus was because He kept speaking God's Word?
Angels hearken unto the voice of God's Word. Jesus gave voice to the Word, and angels came to minister to Him.
Angels will do the same for you if you will do what Jesus did--and that is speak God's Word!
MAKE GOD YOUR DWELLING
Psalm 91:9-12 says, "If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone"
God promises complete protection for the person who makes the Most High his dwelling.
The secret to tapping into the power of this Psalm is to make the Most High your dwelling.
That is the key. God promises protection, so long as you make the Most High your dwelling.
So how do you make God your dwelling?
The answer is at the beginning of this Psalm. It says, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, `He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" You make the Most High your dwelling the same way that David did--by SAYING OF THE LORD that He is your dwelling!
Your confession that He is your refuge and fortress is what makes God become your refuge and fortress
And what does God do when you confess that He is your refuge and fortress?
He commands His angels to guard you in all your ways so that no harm befalls you nor any disaster overtakes you.
Angels work for you because you confess who God is to you and what He will do for you.
This is what Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did before they were thrown into the fiery furnace. They boldly declared, "The God we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O King!" They stood their ground in faith.
And what was the outcome?
God sent an angel to keep them from burning. The angel heard God's Word coming from the lips of these courageous saints-
FEAR GOD
There is one final scripture that I want to show you that will prove that angels are greatly affected by our words. It is Psalm 34:7: "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."
The angel of the Lord delivers those who fear God, not who fear tragedy.
And what does it mean to fear God?
Verse 11 and 12 begins by telling us, "Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days."
Angels definitely are involved in prolonging our lives and making our days good. But what is the fear of the Lord?
The next verse says that if you want many good days, then "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."
The fear of the Lord is manifested in restraining the tongue. If you fear God, then you will speak the truth.
And what is truth?
Jesus said, "Thy word is truth!" God's Word is the highest form of truth in the universe.
By speaking God's Word, you are keeping your tongue from evil and from speaking lies. And when you do, the angel of the Lord will encamp around you to deliver you in times of trouble. This angel will do this because you show the fear of the Lord by speaking His Word!
Now stand on your feet and speak the word of God, the promises of God for your life and for your family.
Amen!
