george.c.p council member ipc karnataka (January 18, 2013)
Congratulations, Pastor Sam George on this pleasant occasion, I’m very much glad to hear this news. You have followed the Lord’s direction in the past years and stepping out by faith to “reach for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” With his sincere determination and serious efforts with the same spirit and zeal population of IPC churches in Karnataka grown from 150 to 450 in span of 3-4 years, his leadership, efforts & contribution are the main reasons for this achievement. The Lord has richly blessed, anointed, and rewarded you for seeking his will. Our congratulations also extend to your dear wife who labored beside you all these years to make this day possible. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry there as long as He tarries in His coming.

dear loving brothers, i happened to read both the positive and negative comments you have posted. i am greatful to all of you for both the positive and negative comments. those of who wrote positive comments, thank you, but i humbly request you to help me to exalt the name of jesus christ, the name above all names and not myself. i don't honestly deserve any of these comments. i did only little for the glory of god with the resources god entrusted to me. think about the great men of god and the martyrs of christ who paid a huge prize for propagation of god's kingdom. even apostle paul said," i am the least among the apostle". i haven't done much. the best thing you can do more than the comments, please pray for me and my family to be a faithul, true, sincere and pure disciple of christ to fulfill the task he has entrusted to me. those who wrote critically and negatively, i took your comments positively, so that i can humble myself to do god's will in my life with integrity and

First, congratulation to Sam George and thank you for all your help in our state.



But why are people trying to please Sam george with flattering comments? Are they afraid that he will leave Karnataka and there will be no fund?



Does not the Bible say it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man?



Then why you people trying hard to give him comments making him some one as very holy.



If God provided sam george for now, the same God will provide someone else when he leaves.



I know Sam george personally and he too will agree with my comments.

As far as i know Pr. sam george is a simple servant of God,He has proved his god given abilities in Karnataka state. this new position will be able to serve Lord more. He deserved the post of Joint Secretatary of IPC. We need person like this to come in to executive posts to save IPC.

contd:- 2 " heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:who can know it" jer 17:9. when a minister who was suffering financial struggles, i took extra pain to entertain them when they came to visit. but, most of them, after finding an easy route to the green pastures, they have a different focusing and mindset. some of them make a decision to visit the u.s. on a regular basis, spending weeks in one city and enjoy long vacation. if we call them in india, they all act like too busy in evangelization-fasting-healing ministry-social service etc. these too busy buddies in the miistry, how they can spend weeks in one city without doing anything? is it a ministry or vacation? for every person who is called by god for the ministry, god will provide. but, for many ministers from india, they hand over the ministry to somebody, and they take the new ministry of "overseas visitation in fund raising and prolonged vacations".

dear brother thepraize: in my missionary trip to india in 2005 february, the weather in north india was cold, never expected that kind of cold weather. never in life slept in surroundings like that with extreme cold weather, but it was a great joy to suffer for the kingdom of god. it was very surprsing to meet some people i knews for years, and they used to write to me as if they were living in a hut and crying everyday looking to heaven like prophet elijah did at the time of famine, but when i met them in their homes, they were living comfortably like in the rank of a well-paid indian civil servant. but, among these comfortable zone living ministers, i saw suffering ministers too. when these suffering ministers get a chance to visit the gulf countries of the western world, i am very happy that god is going to bless them with the necessary supplies and rewarding them for their suffering for the cross.

in 1 corinthians paul deals with eleven problems among which first one is the division and it is the root cause of all the other problems in the church in corinth. hence, dealing with all these problems, the apostle's ax first touches the root, that is, the division among them. paul goes on to say, “now i mean this, that each of you says, i am of paul, and i am of apollos, and i of cephas, and i am of christ.” in principle when we cast an vote for someone it is just the same as saying i am of "valsan",i am of "john",i am of "philip", "baby", or "joseph", and so on. dividing the body of christ like this is a very serious problem. the world can have politics but the church cannot have it. because the church is an organic body which cannot be divided at any cost. apostle paul wanted to condemn corinthians for their attitude whereas in pentecostalism today the so called leaders are promoting this dirty politics with in the believers!! see how wretched is the situation!!

a. s. mathew (January 13, 2013)
Dear Thomasvemmelil: Those people contesting for the top seats in the denominational hierarchy are equally qualified in their academic accomplishments as well as in popularity of the ministry, great credentials! In politicl contest, the leaders are flexible but in the religious election, nobody will give an inch until they re-capture the permanent seat. I did watch with respect towards both candidates in our Panchayat election, the opposing candiates, Hindu and Christian candidates came into an agreement that one term would be given to the Hindu and the Christian will get the next term. This is worldy election in which such flexibility and amicability are openly displayed, whereas in the Church elections, why these top ranking candiates with their birthright in leadership can't workout an amicable plan through Christian love? We see nothing but total egotism and selfishness in these elections, not any Christian love.

@Abraham Mathew:- Here is another quote from your thread "our leader Pastor Sam George has a record of selfish and sincere work from local church level." Hope you meant "record of selfless work", and pray it be so.

thomasvemmelil (January 12, 2013)


@abraham mathew:- according to you "no one is ready to face sure defeat if they contest against a candidate who has good and credible qualities as a leader". if this is an accepted fact what about rest of the candidates like valsan abraham, k c john, baby varghese, pm philip,john joseph and all? all these contestants have more than 2 opposers each already. that means these candidates have no good and credible qualities as leaders. incidentally you as a pastor have been under this leadership for the past few years which has no good and credible qualities. and if these candidates are going to be elected again this time the most clean person sam george is going to be with these unclean leaders to lead ipc for the next few years!! this is really contradictory!!

a. s. mathew (January 12, 2013)
Dear brother Doulos: Very interesting observation. Presumably, the opponents had full confidence that they will not win, so kept aloof safely. I am glad that many comments are coming from the former and new commentators touching Pastor Sam George's great and unique victory. Missed your comments for a long while.
+3
abraham mathew, bangalore. (January 12, 2013)
@ Dulos, the reason this one person is elected without contest is his leadership qualities without any selfish motive and his service to the Kingdom of God alone. This is an accepted fact in IPC. So no one is ready to face sure defeat if they contest against a candidate who has good and credible qualities as a leader. No need of research but the proven fact. He proved it through his ministry and service especially in Karnataka. Also agree with SP Kumbanad, our leader Pastor Sam George has a record of selfish and sincere work from local church level. He also work hard to make money to support ministry. He is not the other leaders who raise funds for ministry and deposit in their personal or children's account and lead a lavish and luxurious life. We love and appreciate Pastor Sam George for his commitment because he proved it through his life. He always preach the Gospel and not about him. Always lifts up Christ and His word and no self exaltation or his positions.

thomasvemmelil (January 12, 2013)
Today's Pentecostalism is altogether an organisation. Positions and offices in Pentecostalism are decided by elections. Pastors today are often hired and fired or transferred. However,nothing in an organic body can be elected, hired, fired or transferred. Our arms are not placed on our bodies by an election, nor can an old or weak arm be hired or fired. Elections, hiring,firing and transferring are inorganic tools of human organisation. There should be no elections, hiring, firing or transferring in the church, because the church is altogether an organism, not an organisation. All these rubbish happen only in Babylon not in the Body of Christ. In God's administration we are His "elects" and no need to have elections again.

s p kumbanad (January 12, 2013)
those who are mentioning their positions, please put all your positions, degrees, past positions,current employment etc.. are we pentecostal malayalees so addicted to positions and then to mention it everywhere.(even at funeral services..). so sad to say this. do some thing to empower your local church and then go for higher levels. Jesus said, first work in Jerusalem, then go to other places. its a tragedy that we are so self praisers and position showers..so sad. so sad..cry my brethren...cry for these people..

@asm good to hear some very relevant points on visitation ministry and ministers, even though i am yet to comprehend and visualise the results, i have never heard or seen a single soul been saved by the ministry of a visiting pastor, i am not including our friends from other christian community changing to pentecostal movement,that been said this is a good money spinner for smart people,they get to experience extended vacation in this country all paid with dividends too.Cross is the last thought in the minds of these men. All that we could do is create awareness among friends and families of these imposters. Our dear friend JC would agree that there is high degree of commerce involved into the business of religion,specifically Pentecost, i am not aware of activities of such degree and intensity among the other people groups.And lastly everything sells in the name of God,meaning are we such a deprived society,failing to test the real and the surreal. Blessings !!!

This reminds me of an incident in the book of Acts 12 about the king Herod whose country was rich and supplied food to Tyre and Sidon, the people there were afraid of Herod. They were concerned that their supply of food would be cut off, and they did something to please Herod." And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost." In this case what wrong did the King Herod do? He supplied food to the poor people of Tyre and Sidon and about which he made only a public speech. Is that too wrong for a *** penalty? Then why God punished him so cruelly? Because the populace gave all glory and honour to a man and not to God...they were concerned that their supply of food would be cut off!!!

a. s. mathew (January 11, 2013)
Cond: 2. Visiting foreign countries more often on a regular basis must be called "routine visitation ministry". Christian religion has been turned as a business by the electronic preachers in the U.S., and that mentality is catching up very fast in India too. We must pray very earnestly to find the right person and ministry to invest the money. William Colgate, the founder of the Colgate-Palmolive company gave 30% of his income for the ministry-was the founder/President of the American Bible Society as well as the World Bible Society, and God began to bless his business which has spread to 212 countries of the world. We should be very liberal in giving for the Kingdom ministry, but when some people try to take advantage of our compassion and concern, be vigilant.
+3
a. s. mathew (January 11, 2013)
i do love and respect the real servants of god in all denominations. the first word "cross" is mentioned in the new testament, mathew 10:38 sways " and he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me". this cross bearing is a strange calling for the vast majority of the ministers in all denominations. two of the best professions to hoard money without much education and zero investment are "politics" and religion. when sai baba died, he had over 95 crores worth wealth in gold-watches-cash-diamonds etc. when we meet the ministers of the gospel with their big story of ministry, we are motivated to help them, but the money is diverted to their own pockets and hoarding for their children. is that cross bearing ministry? the number of people landing in the u.s. for conference is very surprising. after the conference (what they learn at the conference?)they will be visiting friends and churches to collect money.

i came to know, from what i heard and read, that pastor sam george is devoting his time in the expansion of lord's kingdom in a very earnest and sincere manner. i learnt that he was able to build the karnataka churches from a mere 150 to 500 and of'course with a money back-up. although i do not know him as a person, his mission work in the state of karnataka [india] is highly commendable. may god bless him and his work in the mission field ! the reason why i took special-time in writing this is because, i criticize sometimes, but when it comes to complimenting somebody who deserves, i think, that's my duty too! criticism has a space when-ever required and so are compliments! criticism without compliments has no value to it !!!!!!!!!!!

sujin, bangalore (January 10, 2013)
Brother SP, Kumbanadu, as for as we know Pastor Sam George has no trust or organisation of his own. He is not asking or raising money or funds from anybody. He worked and gave money for God's work without any return from man. Now he is selling his properties and spending that money for soul's conversation and propagtion of Go'd kingdom. We know anywhere he goes and does ministry, he is not even spending travel expenses from his pocket including international tickets. He also told us in Karnataka not to write his name anywhere in Karnanata as a memory because he said he wants something in eternity not the favor of man. He is such a dedicated leader with a high vision. May God use him more powerfully in the coming days!!!!!!

jones joseph, bangalore (January 10, 2013)
Congratulations and all best wishes to Pastor Sam George!!! It is indeed great to hear about him being elected unopposed. It is a rare thing nowadays to hear about this in the spiritual realm, but good thing obviously since it shows a certain unity of mind! I am happy that he is elected into the General Council, but also sad to see him go since it is a big loss for Karnataka State. His drive and motivation to see the work grow in Karnataka has seen fruit - his desire for the gospel to be taken to the villages and his love for the youth and urban city churches is also highly commendable. Pastor, Whitefield Church is always indebted to you for your sacrificial giving, both to you and Ammama and also the rest of the State officials for their help. May God bless you both and also use you for mighty things in His Kingdom!!! On behalf of my family and also the WCC Core Team - we wish you all best wishes!!!

I can say from my experience Pastor Sam George is a selfless leader and he has vision and aim to do Lord's ministry without any reward .In fact he is spending money from his pocket for ministry. His election unopposed as Joint General secretary is a proof that our people accepted his loyalty to our church and ministry for the Glory of God.A person who has vision will get mission.AS Paul he can say that his master is God and his duty is to serve the Lord.

Wish him all success in his new position.

Contd: 2 and that spirit of split is getting worse every day. As brother Sujin has pinpointed about Pastor Sam George; his zeal in evangelization-generosity and humility are highly noteworthy spiritual qualities to be followed by the believers, especially by the Pastors. Believe it or not, the world economic crisis is drawing our attention to get ready in a hurry to evangelize the world, so believers of all denominations must be united to spread the good news of salvation to their neighbours. We all need to pray very earnestly that the elections of the Churhes be done like the way Pastor Sam George was elected, so the devil can't plant the seeds of friction and bitterness in the hearts of the believers, and the worship service after the election would be more victorious and uplifting for the believers. PRAISE THE LORD.

a. s. mathew (January 10, 2013)
brother sujin, bangalore: thank you so deeply for your kind response. at times, my comments may sound like too harsh, but i am writing with a clear purpose and burden to draw the attention of the believers of all denominaions, that we must return to the word of god in the denominational election process. the way of the cross is totally alien to the modern leadership, but thank god for the few who are walking straight in the path of calvary. i do believe that god's children must be blessed, but totally against the anti-scriptural "positive thinking and prosperity gospel". god wants us to be blessed and be of positive thinkers, but the gospel of jesus christ is entirely different and that divine message of redemption from above, which is far above than the positive thinking and prosperity gospel. i have been profoundly wounded by watching the totally dirty and gruesome election process in the kerala churches around the world,

Dear A.S.Mathew, we who are in Karnataka are happy to witness your comment. We know him for the last 4 years. God sent him to Karnataka though we never knew or met him before. Now we know Pastor Sam George is a gift to Karnataka by God. But he proved through his commitment and sincere service that he is a great leader of this generation. He spent about 4 crores of ruppees in 4 years and spent many days and months for the souls in Karnataka. The number of churches increased from 150s to 500s among kannada people. We know him very well now and we can witness his leadership. He always stress the need for sincere and faithful service for Lord. His passion is commendable and his views on eternity is very notable. He always encourages others and bringing young leaders. He is a gift for this time. We all are standing with our true and clean leader who strees his vision and eternity. He is a leader by example and practical life. God bless him all around the world.

i have never met him, but it is highly commendable that he was elected without any opposition, which is a clear proof that his election was not stained with dirty politics and mammon's circus. sujin-banglore's comment also adds up to the authenticity that pastor sam george is totally dedicated in his divine calling, also a cheerful and charismatic leader. god must raise such people in all the christian denominations. may god bless and lead him to do greater things for his kingdom in these critical times we are faced with.

Pastor Sam George is a great leader who proved through his ministry and leadership.

As for as we know ( Karnataka ), he did not ask any one to back of from being the general joint secretary and we challenge any one to prove otherwise. He could have lived in US. But he lives most of his time in India and spending many days in Karnataka villages as one of the villager. He never expects any return from any body. He spends cheerfully and sacrificially. His leadership style is with humility. Any one one doubt ask us who are in Karnataka. We are so proud of our leader Pastor Sam George who has proven his ministry and leadership practically. May God bless him and use him in higher levels.
