Pastor Samson Paul the second son of Pastor Arthur Paul
was born and brought up in a Christian family. At an early age I began to worship God sincerely by attending the Sunday school and the church services. I was also obedient to my parents. As a result I began to score the number one in the school and I learnt and gained many talents.
As I grew in the college I became very free and more disobeying to my parents and elders and very soon I joined as a member of the local rowdies and went on beating people and I stopped going to college. I become the most hated person to my teachers. My principal had told me that I will never pass until he was alive. One day my dad and mom came to college to see me and asked me about the exams and to collect my hall ticket. As I was a noted person in the college, they didn’t give me the hall ticket (which is an entry to write exams). My principal told my parents all about me and told that unless I get an apology letter from all the teachers from the college I won’t get a hall ticket. So, my dad and mom both of them went and requested each and every teacher to sign on the apology letter. This made me to think and think and my heart was broken to see my parents begging the teachers on behalf of me. Than I was praying God that what a mistake I had made. However I got the hall ticket. But one thing was running in my mind that 2 years I didn’t attend the college, how can I pass in the exams? And so many things started to crop in my mind about my future and what all I did.
I sat and thought about this for 2 days then I realized that I have to change and it’s possible only by JESUS. I spent many sleepless nights crying and crying for my sins. I cried a lot like a small baby and I asked JESUS to forgive all my sins that I committed and asked Jesus to help me to pass my exams and give a better future. So that I will glorify the name of JESUS through my life.
Jesus forgave my sins and I was filled with joy and peace. With only 13 days to go, I started preparing for my exams. I know God will do a miracle; I had full faith in God. I passed in my exams to everybody’s surprise. But to my surprise I also got an engineering seat in one of the best colleges in India. After which I started studying and I was one of the brilliant students in my class. It was at that time I even took baptism. I became the student’s president of the college and my college recognized as a best student in that period.
After completing my engineering, I got a job in a software company. Since I was faithful to God and committed to the church, God gave me promotions and I went on to become the project manager of the company from an ordinary contract labourer. After which I saw the God call upon my life to work for the kingdom of God. So gave my resignation to my CEO, but my CEO said "do not quit my company, let every employee quit! But you don’t quit. You decide your salary and your designation. But don’t quit the company" But in one way I was not having the mind to quit, but on the other hand I knew I had to quit and serve the Almighty God. So I quit my company.
Today I am blessed and people run to me and wherever I go people recognize the anointing in me and I see the Lord is using me. I am the founding President of Krupashraya Trust, a charity organisation which works with the poor and the downtrodden. I am also heading the Eagles Gathering, an exclusive youth ministry. And i have started to fullfill the God given vision to reach the kids of India and Africa with the e-Learning Content, which is a gospel evangelical tool. I am experiencing the manifest power of God working in life each day, He has been good to me and I am praising God for His faithfulness. It is awesome to know that I am serving the great God!
But I say all the glory honour praise belongs to Him alone.
Samson Paul.
