Today was my first day at the Laity Training School (LTS), Batch 17. We’re 14 people attending the LTS out of the 26 registrations they had received. Well, it started exactly at 9:00 AM. There were 4 sessions in all given by Brother Luke Lobo (St. Patrick’s Parish) and Brother Roland. A small Break followed each Session, the Lunch break after the first two sessions and Confession at the end of the fourth session.

Brother Luke, for the Morning session

Plainly dressed he stood with his Guitar in the front. I was even doubtful if he was going to deliver the Session, but then I witnessed an oration that penetrated the mind and touched my heart. I was immensely impressed by simplicity with he explained things. It just reminded me of Jesus preaching with his parables. He gave the most beautiful talk I’ve ever heard about the Gospel Message that says, “God loved the world so much, that he sent his only son and whoever believes in him shall never perish.”.

This message is the foundation of every Christian faith that reminds and inspires one to live as per the Lord’s will. I feel bad about being ignorant to this message for so long, but feel happy about realizing it, though late. He talked about the Love of God and Sin of Man. There’s so much he talked about and kept talking which would be difficult for me to put down here. But I surely could list down the verses he quoted.

John 3:16, John 1:18, 1 John 4:10, 1 John 4:19, Luke 15, Mark 7, Acts 2

Brother Roland, for the next two sessions

Brother Roland is a dynamic and energetic personality. He had come with his wife and daughter. He spoke about Repentance and Belief. His wife testified God’s work in her life. He too quoted the Gospel Message, and said “Believe in the Lord and do his will.”This is the key to receive gifts from the Lord our God. The gift of the Holy Spirit, gift of Peace, gift of Patience, gift of Endurance and all the other necessities of this Worldly life. Where should we Christians head to? “The Eternal Life”

1 John 1:8-9, Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 2:15, Acts 26:18, Romans 6:13, Luke 15:11-24, Psalm 139:23, Acts 5, Proverbs 12:22, Matt 5:27,28, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

The Confession

I wasn’t even sure of making a Confession, but I was advised to do it. Its better to unload as much Burden as possible from your heart. The Lord would take it all and give you peace and forgiveness.

Thank You Lord for choosing me.
Thank You Holy Spirit for guiding me to that place.
