In Ezekiel, Chapter 22, Verse 30, the Holy Bible says:

I looked for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so that I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.

God is looking for people who stand in the ‘gap’ We, the devotees of the Mission, should be bridge-builders, who bridge gap between a lost and dying world and God.

It is now ten years since our present Baba Ji’s ministry began. Babaji, we love you, we believe in you and we are with you with all our hearts. Go for it!

Multitude of people around the world has been deeply touched by Babaji’s love and concern for the lost souls. Because of his faith, determination and tireless efforts, in a spirit of love, countless lives have been touched. Love is more than just words. In fact, in I Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verse 13 it is stated:

But the greatest of these faith, hope and love, is love.

Also, in Matthew, Chapter 5, Verse 44:

But I tell you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you.

Baba Ji is an inspiration for the future as he has bestowed revealed knowledge, that is, knowledge imparted directly into the heart of man from the heart of God. Ask yourself: ‘What is God’s will for me?’ ‘How can I follow God and not the world?’ In John’s Gospel, he says:

Be in the world, but not of the world.

The answer to questions like these are to be found in the teachings of this Mission. Baba Ji very often speaks about forgiveness, because he knows that faith simply cannot function in an unforgiving heart. He knows that if we harbour unforgiveness for others, we’ll be unable to receive God’s forgiveness for ourselves. As Jesus Christ points out many times in the Bible: If we so not forgive others, it blocks the flow of our own forgiveness.

What do you think is the prime quality, which God looks for in those He has chosen to do His ‘work’? Courage? Faith? Ability? All these are important, but the prime quality is Character. As someone said: ’No character, no consequence.’ Yes, this is just what Baba Ji has - Character. God always sends the right person, at the right time, and what a blessings it is to be favoured with the company of the chosen one!

Remember, you cannot make God’s truth real to others until it is real to you. So, now pause for a moment and ask yourself: ‘How am I doing my duty to the Mission?’ ‘Do I make the most of every opportunity?’ ‘How much time I devote to the diligent study of the teachings of the Mission?’ No one has ever entered into a great ministry without first spending time, analysing its philosophy. There are no short cuts to effective service. In 2 Corinthians, Chapter 9, Verse 6, it is clearly stated:

"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

If God has recalled you to do some special work for Him, then you must come to terms right away with the fact that at some time you will face opposition. Don’t be discouraged by this, for the stronger the opposition, the bigger the opportunity.

Someone once said: ‘Whenever religion goes wrong, it goes very, very wrong.’ How hurtful it must be to God to see people approaching Him through rituals that are devoid of all meaning. All of us in this Mission approach God face to face -  it is so easy, it is so natural and it is so satisfying!

Those who are greatly ‘used’ by God, are those who possess a ‘servant’ heart. But how can you tell whether you have such a heart? It’s simple. The heart of a servant is preoccupied with service, the heart of a non-servant is preoccupied with manipulation. In Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 22, Verse 27, he says:

For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? It is not the one who is at the table. But I am among you as one who serves."

If we think of the basic qualification of service to the Mission, would it be an ability to preach or to teach? No, the basic qualification is willingness to serve. In Matthew, Chapter 23, Verse 11, it is said:

The greatest among you will be your servant, for whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Remember, the purpose of this Mission is to be a Missionary.

How desperately the world today needs the thoughts and ideals that Baba Ji preaches? Do you experience this knowledge, or more important, do others experience this with your?
