Our dear beloved pastor Sunday and pastor Bose! For all these years that we have known you we have been realizing again and again that you are the personalities who reflect the life of Jesus Christ for 100%! You show your abundant love to others like Jesus Christ did: sacrificially, sincerely with all responsibility for every destiny that comes your way!
Even now going through the valley of hardships, trials and insults you continue carrying the Cross shared with Him!!! This is how the true dedication to the God of all gods and the King of all kings is manifested! We know that God’s love that has been guiding you in this life gave you victory over this world, and now it is going to support you too! It is too late to dissuade us from the new movement of God. We know one thing: once we were blind and now we see.
As it is said in John 9:17: “finally they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.” and John 9:25-30: “He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?” Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.”
You are transforming our lives; you are giving us an example of heroism in God. You are true leaders for the nation, and your peculiar destiny changes the destiny of the whole world.
YOU ARE KNIGHTS OF FAITH!
“Let’s weigh the pain and fear that form the paradox of faith.
Tragic hero renounces himself in order to join the general pattern, while knights of faith renounce the general to become single instances. Everything depends on the point of view. As it was said before, everyone who believes that being a single is a piece of cake can be sure that they are not knights of faith. On the contrary, knights of faith realize what an enviable role is that of the general. They know that it is great to be born to be a single, but find oneself among the general and so be welcomed among the general – they only need to want to stay in it. But they also know that lonely, steep and hard is the ascending path above the general. They know that it is terrible to be born lonely deprived from the general and make your way in loneliness. They know perfectly well where they are and what the difference between them and people is. From the human being’s point of view they are crazy and they cannot make themselves be understandable for anybody.
Knights of faith can only rely on themselves: to mourn because others are not able to understand them, but not to have the vain desire to rule others. Mourning strengthens them. They are strangers to vain desires for their souls are too strongly bent.
Faith is the highest passion in man. I think every generation has many people who have not reached it, but there is no one who could go far beyond it”.
Dear pastor Sunday and pastor Bose! We would like to address these words about knights of faith wrote by a Danish philosopher S. Kierkegaard in the work “Fear and trembling” to you, because you are true KNIGHTS OF FAITH for us.
We want to tell YOU that nobody and nothing is able to stop the movement of the New Embassy of God church. We believe and know that faithful is the One Who promised, and you will see the fruit of all your efforts and dedication from generation to generation right up to the Coming of Jesus Christ.
We believe and pray that God and His children will never be put to shame! You can always rely on us as fathers rely on their worthy sons!!!
With love,
Pastor Yulia,
The Embassy of God church in
Saint-Petersburg, Russia
