MODERN YOUNG WORKING PROFESSIONALS TAUGHT THE BIBLE IN AN INTERESTING WAY!

 
At the Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission base in Hyderabad a Bible Study was held for a group of modern young working professionals working in companies such as Dell, Cognizant, Genpact, etc (on the first Sunday evening of October 2013). Bro. Duke Jeyaraj taught this Bible Study. In an hour and half he summarized 25 Bible passages which he believed had a message for modern young working pros. He brought in stories from the corporate world (Phaneesh Murthy sex scandal), cricket field (What Dhoni told Yuvi in the 2011 WC QF) and weaved them into Bible Passages. The audience of about 20 people were challenged and encouraged. Some personally told Duke how they were blessed by this unique Bible Study. Folks from Bangalore, US, and other places listened to this message online and testified to its blessings. Duke conducted a survey during this study, the results of which will go into Duke's doctoral level research with Southern Asia Bible College. The message that Duke Jeyaraj shared is found here:https://soundcloud.com/shoutaloud/the-bible-to-modern-young (audio) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzZg9wlOsGU (video).

A group of volunteers of G4 Mission prayed and dedicated Duke's updated Gospel tract: Bubbly Outside Yet Empty Inside?. This tract weaves the Gospel into contemporary events - Jesus style (Luke 13:1-5). You can read the tract here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/168160434/BUBBLY-OUTSIDE-YET-EMPTY-INSIDE-DUKE-JEYARAJ-S-GOSPEL-TRACT-FOR-THE-GOOGLE-GENERATION. Thanks to the giving of the all-Indian friends of G4 Mission, we can now have this much-distributed Gospel tract in Color wrapper.
This Sunday, 3rd November, between 6 to 8 PM in the same place, we will have a study on HOW MODERN YOUNG WOKRING PROS CAN BECOME DISCIPLES OF JESUS. Join in!

Prayer is the language of the poor. Over and over again David, the King of Israel, says, "Incline Thine ear, O Lord, and answer me; for I am afflicted and needy" (Psalm 86:1). And do you remember that one of the greatest psalms he wrote says, "This poor man cried and the Lord heard him..." (Psalm 34:6). - Leonard Ravenhill

When we think we are "rich" in everysense of that word, we will not pray. But those of us who believe we are "poor" - in spirit - let's spend October 12, Saturday in prayer!

BOOK OF JUDE STUDY FOR COOL GOOGLE DUDES BY DUKE!

Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission (G4 Mission) hosts a Bible Study every month for the Google Generation.

One such study was held on 1 Sept., 2013.

Here is a report of that event along with pictures:






The book of Jude studied. It was 60th different Bible Book summarized by Duke to small groups - a process that started from September 2007. A bunch of Google Genners present - from Amazon, from Infosys, from Deloitte, from Convergys, etc. At the Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission's rented base in Hyd (www.facebook.com/googlduke). The Book of Jude summary Bible Study with special reference to hyper grace false teaching - one of most popular false teachings embraced by Google Genners worldwide. God blessed the study. Wrong ideas were rooted out. Biblical ideas were planted. Hearts strangely were warmed. The message preached is now online. On Youtube (video):

We had a fun game that drove home this lesson before the study began: the wider the (Bible) base, the taller the (spiritual) building can be built!

We gave a farewell to Preeti Iona, a young woman among the Bible Study group who was leaving for the U.S. to study God's Word. Preeti Iona was a key volunteer who would lead worship during our Bible Studies.

We dedicated for God's glory the Benq GP10 projector which G4 Mission was able to buy - thanks to the generous giving of an Indian donor. This device would help serve us to project songs and Bible Teaching material to those who come for our Ministry events at our base!
 
The next Bible Study is slated for October 6th, 2013.

The Book of Jude: Hallmarks of Hyper Grace Preachers & How We Should Be ...


THE JOHANNINE WRITINGS TAUGHT TO THE GOOGLE GENERATION THROUGH FIVE MEATY BIBLE STUDIES SPREAD OVER FIVE MONTHS!

Duke Jeyaraj summarized the Johannine Writings of the Bible - the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John and the book of Revelation - via small group Bible Studies for the Google Generation from April to August 2013, in his unique style. The book of Revelation study attracted a 'house-full' audience. Folks working different companies and attending different churches  participated. Duke answered the questions of those who came following the study. Hearts were strangely warmed. Believers grew in the knowledge of the Word. False doctrines like hyper-grace were cut to size with the sword of the Word of God. Practical decisions pleasing to God were taken. You can listen to that entire 1 hour 52 minute Bible study here: https://soundcloud.com/shoutaloud/bible-book-of-revelation-put

Young professionals attentively hearing a 1 hour 50 minute Bible Study in these days where attention span of people is ultra-short was something witnessed in this event! Similarly studies for the book of John, I, II, III John were also held. On www.soundcloud.com/shoutaloud and www.youtube.com/visitduke, messages shared in these studies are uploaded. The next study is on 1 September on the book of Jude. This would mark the 60th Bible book Duke is summarizing via small group Bible Studies after moving to Hyderabad to do the ministry in 2005.


CHALLENGING CORPORATES WORKING IN CHENNAI AND BANGALORE IN A CAMP!

 God blessed the COSEK 2013 camp for young working professionals in Claret Nivas, Bangalore during the last weekend of July 2013. COSEK which stands for "Chosen for the Operation of Salvation for the Expansion of His Kingdom" has Karunya University alumni working in the Corporate World in the thick of things for the Lord. Around 60 professionals gathered for this event organised by HeartShakers from Bangalore and Chennai. Duke's messages from Jeroboam's life (on repenting from backsliding), Joseph's life (on overcoming temptations on day-to-day basis, especially those at work) and Paul's life (on godly habits to develop and doing tent-making ministry) blessed those who came. Times at the altar was powerful. Evan Duke taught on wise life partner choice/handling breakups/etc. The youth were all ears. Duke and Evan joined to answer the questions of the youngsters in Q n A session. The climax was the commitment the campers made to come out of their comfort zone and move to areas where God wants them to be in following Duke's message which you can hear here: 

https://soundcloud.com/shoutaloud/pauls-jesus-copying-life-put

Duke's kids - Dale (9) and Datasha(5) also joined their parents in this camp! It was a time of fun and play as well. It must be noted that Evan Duke ministered despite still not having fully recovered from the toe hairline fracture in this camp. Both Duke and Evan spent time, one on one, with several of the campers, counseling and praying. Those two days were 'heaven on earth'. Have a look at the pictures from the camp on this column and praise God with us!

THE FIRST TIME I EVER PREACHED - KNEE-KNOCKING AND KNOCKING OUT SOMEONE!

Duke Jeyaraj note to his school mates written earlier and edited now on the significance of August 9th in his life.


I write this piece as a grateful man. I am grateful to my Creator. And my classmates. August 9 is a special day in my life. The reason? My birthday? Nope. The day I was Born Again?! No. It was on that dramatic I got on stage to proclaim God's Word. It happened in a special captains assembly in Ida Scudder School (Vellore) - 19 years ago - August 9, 1991, as a 16 year old.

I remember clearly how it all happened. After the list of captains and prefects was announced our Principal then Mr.MM Mathews asked School Captain Shameen to lead the assembly teaming up with the entire elected team of leaders. I remember Shameen walking up to me, the Lincoln House captain, and asking me to share the message on that day. I agreed with my knees knocking and my heart ready to burst forth. What made Shameen walk up to me still remains a mystery.

But I am glad for what happened after that. With fear and trembling I preached my first ever sermon from that wooden stage in Scudder School in Vellore Town in Tamil Nadu on 9 August. It was a sermon on hell, I recollect. I recollect my class-mate Neeta Wilfred read a passage from Mathew 18 before I went in. "Better to go to heaven with one eye and one hand rather than go to hell with two eyes and two hands!" was the text. I recall how one of the students fainted after hearing that message. Apparently, she was too stunned to hear such straight preaching on hell. It was really an unusual baptism into preaching for me. God was clearly telling me, "You've got to preach Duke. That is one of the callings I have placed on your life!" When I hit the rewind button I recall how many of you walked up to me to say that was not at all that bad (even though I myself know that what my flaws were then).

Did Roshni (Roshni Chandran) sing "Spirit of the Living God" as a solo with Babloo (Dr. Solomon Satish Kumar) on the keys before I started? I am not sure if that happened on August 9 - but it did happen on one more occasion I took the mike to preach in grade 12 in Scudder School. I thank God for what happened that day.
On an earlier occasion I could not even say two lines in a drama I had to do from that same wooden stage (a drama that featured some pretty girls and some of your are smiling!). I told the Lord following that fiasco that I would never get on stage for him. "I can set the mike for some other more talented and more charismatic person to get on stage to preach but I will not do it myself!" I told my Maker then. But thank God for unanswered prayers!

What I started to do that day I continue to do all these twenty-two years. I have some fond memories - preaching to a group of youth in Germany, preaching in the CMC chapel, preaching to 1000 plus youth from 54 corporates and 147 colleges in Hyderabad, preaching in MCC to hip youth who were ready to shoot me down and doing it okay, speaking inside MindSpace IT Park in Hyderabad to curious, cerebral IT pros from various faiths in an open-air theatre and having them spell-bound, hearing from an American School boy that he hadn't heard anyone speak with forthrightness as yours truly on the subject of sexual immorality, etc, etc. I remember the tears at the altar, the stunned silence, the crackles of laughter, the young man from Africa asking if he can have the mike I just preached from so that he could publicly confess the sin of porn addiction he was repenting from, etc, etc.

Even as I write these lines on 8 August 2013, I rub my eyes in disbelief to see over 100,000 hits on the youtube channel (www.youtube.com/visitduke) featuring my Bible talks on sex, love, marriage, misssion and more. I am floored that someone moved by the Holy Spirit would sponsor a unlimited pro Sound Cloud account (www.soundcloud.com/shoutaloud) to enable me to host audio sermons making it convenient for a wider audience to hear me.

I am truly humbled and teary-eyed to acknowledge this: even though there are many more eloquent speakers than me, yet God in amazing mercy chose me to be one of his fulltime spokespersons for the Google Generation and gave me a privilege to serve him in one corner in His Big Kingdom. I get goosebumps that I can now do full-time what I started to do that day - August 9, 1991 - so nervously, so unsure of myself. All by the sheer grace of God! Thank you classmates for the encouragement! Thank you Grabbing the Google Generation Mission (www.facebook.com/googleduke - the official page of the organization that Duke founded in 2006) partners and volunteers for standing with me. Glorious and precious are those memories!

Note about picture: This is me, donning the MC role in a Variety Entertainment Event in my school, the year being 1991/92. There were no pictures taken when I preached my first sermon on August 9, 1991. But this is how I looked - lanky, unimpressive, afraid, etc., etc., Recalling I Cor. 1:26 - 30: 26 For consider your calling, brothers: mnot many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT – SENT FROM NEW ZEALAND TO VENEZUELA!

 Awesome Duke anna…Love this study…taught me and enlightened me. a Corporate Professional living in New Zealand after watching a YouTube video of Duke’s 2 Peter Bible Bible Book Summary Study where he talks about the dangers of ‘hyper’ grace false teaching.

It is AMAZING to read of what the Lord is doing through you and of your passion for Him. I am more than impressed to see how promptly and passionately and clearly you address contemporary issues that matter to the G Gen.Rev. Arun Andrews responding to Duke’s Sexual Ethics Bible Study titled “Thinking Black And White About Sexual Ethics In The 50 Shades Of Grey Generation.” 
 
Thanks a lot Anna and Akka for taking time and hearing me. I'm grateful. Your words of counseling mean a lot. I’ll definite keep loving my husband more.an email which we received after a young married person from the United States of America received online counseling from Duke & Evan.
 
Do you know that you are one of the best speakers I have ever come across?from Bangladesh.

God bless you sister Evangelin and Brother Duke for preaching the Right and True Living Word of Him. - Comment on Evan Duke's YouTube message, “How To Choose A Life Partner,” from someone living in Venezuela.  

Duke, enjoyed reading this article (“Maundy Thursday Message For In-Love-With-Unbelievers Google Generation Believers From Judas)! God bless your ministry to the google generation! Rev. Robert Jeyaraj, North India General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God of India.

Heard it brother.........Very timely for today..........Bro. Freddy Joseph, Evangelist, on the March 2001 Graduation Sermon of Duke given in Southern Asia Bible College, Bangalore, which was recently uploaded onto YouTube.

This is one of the best articles on repentance and God's calla young corporate trainer in Hyderabad, India, after reading Duke’s article from Judas’ life titled, “Maundy Thursday Message For In-Love-With-Unbelievers Google Generation Believers.” 

Bro. Duke, I’ll be happy if you can provide url for your new articles/sermons which I can publish on www.2miles.org as your articles are the most desired ones by our visitorsthe site owner of 2miles.org, Bangalore. 

Duke, reading your article while getting an oil change for my car. Very eye opening. I understood from your article how Christians should keep a healthy relationship with friends and peers. Being in a corporate world here in America, I witness a lot of people getting thrown under the bus through gossip, jealousy…. Awesome passage of writing. - an Indian writing from Vero Beach, Florida after reading Duke’s FaceBook article on inter-personal relationships, an article that started with the narration of the Gambhir-Kohli tiff in IPL6.

Highly recommended! The needed read for the youth. – a comment posted on Duke’s scribd account about the Issue 30 of The Days of Your Youth magazine.

Hey bro....was just listenin to ur msg on Romans 7-8 ....whoaa.... its such a blessing....God bless u n ur family abundantly !! – a medico from Pondicherry, India.

I'm African. I met u with your beloved wife in the youth camp in which both of preached in Trichy where I studied in the year 2009. I will never forget you! That time, I was feeling very bad in my spiritual life. But when I saw how you were committed to serve God, and how you were not thinking about the small baby you were having and yet preached with passion, I was revived. I even bought your message CDs. – a woman from Rwanda working in that nation’s Ministry of Public Service and Labour Department. 

Hello Duke,
I’m currently in Australia doing my Masters. I have been a keen listener to your sermons since 8 years (now and then at AG church in an Indian City). I was amused looking at the way you dissected the most infectious and Viral sin of SEX. Honestly God has taught me a lot through your ministry. I have read your article “Popular Unbiblical Modern Alternatives To Marriage/Postpone Marriage – Duke Jeyaraj” (posted on www.freshbiblestudy.wordpress.com). It was interesting to know some celebrity facts revolving around sex. I liked the your writing style since it hooked me onto the article till the end. I realised I spent over an hour reading it and cross checking it with the Bible and other sources you have quoted. I really appreciate your efforts and Thank God for your Ministry. It’s been a blessing for young people like me.
a young Indian Student writing from Australia. 

Sound biblical teaching, Bro. Duke! I cannot agree more! Appreciate all your efforts! You are a man filled with the Word of God and the Spirit of God! We all have a mandate to counter the false gospel with the Truth! Let us keep doing it and may the Lord continue to empower us! A Regent College Vancouver Trained Bible College Professor on Duke’s anti-hyper-grace false doctrine article, Will God Forgive The Sin I Am Planning To Commit? 

Hi Sir Duke....I have listened to your messages and have read your book...its great and inspiring...From the day I messaged you I started hating evil and fearing the Lord. And God has revealed my call and purpose...thank youa young man from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. 

Duke, I enjoyed watching the video.a teacher living in the United States about the 3rd John Bible Book Summary Video of Duke uploaded onto YouTube. 

Dear Duke,
Greetings! Your 3rd John Bible Study on YouTube was a wonderful message on being a "Good guy like Gaius". All eleven "P's" you mentioned in that Study were creatively wrapped up and presented, laced with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Keep up the good work.
a writer/pastor living in Hyderabad. 

I am blessed by your preaching videos sir Duke. Really awesome... – a YouTube viewer living in Nagpur. 

A Comment on a family picture of Dukes: This man (on the extreme left) has surely helped thousands of young men and women to help live a better life! He tirelessly writes on Facebook and sends emails to many on a regular basis. He has written books, leads teams and also preaches in many different locations. His wife Evan and kids support him to the best of their ability. I have a lot of respect for this Family. God bless you guys! Ps.

EIGHT SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES

We at G4 Mission have a passion to see mere seat-warmers in the local church be transformed into soldiers in the Kingdom of God. So, when an opportunity is given for us to share God’s Word in a local church, we preach keeping that in mind. Between November 2012 to Feb 2013, Duke preached in the Sunday Church service of eight different churches, after a warm invitation by the senior pastors of those churches. Here is a list of those churches: the Capstone AG Church (Hitec City – led by Rev. Chaitanya Gera), the Good Shepherd CNI Church (Mumbai – led by Rev. P. Abraham), the History Maker International Church (Navi Mumbai – led by Rev. Anil Alexander), the Abundant Life AG Church (Chennai – led by Rev. Senthil), the New Creation AG Church (Chennai – led by Rev. Jegil), the Life Fellowship (Trivandrum – led by Rev. Sam Varghese), the Victory Church (New Delhi – led by Dr. Y. D. Jeyaseelan) and Trichy City AG Church (Trichy – led by Rev. Dr. Norman Bhasker). Duke’s messages of encouragement and challenge that brought about comfort and conviction in these churches among the believers were titled as follows: You Can Burn Me, But I Will Not Stop Burning (Witnessing) for Jesus! (Revelation 11 study), Bible Animals That Preach!, Bible Questions That Challenge, Lessons From Christmas Characters (preached twice), Have You Grown To Be This Jeroboam?, They Were Killed By God – But Why?, and Soldier or Spectator (Uriah Character Study). Duke included an illustration of a British soldier who was a mere spectator to the atrocities happening around him, narrated in the book pictured in this page (post), in one of these sermons. A senior church leader told Duke after one of these sermons, “This is the first time I am hearing someone preach an entire message from the life of this particular Bible character you preached from! We were blessed!” Some of these messages have already been uploaded onto Duke’s Youtube channel: www.Youtube.com/visitduke.




 

THREE FASTING PRAYERS

“The Devil trembles when he sees even the weakest saint on his knees!” We have heard that being oft-repeated. We at Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission do not believe in merely praying for our ministry, but that prayer IS ministry! So, keeping this mind, an intercession time for the nation of India, the world at large, and for the Google Generation called the FOUNTAIN OF TEARS AGAINST MOUNTAIN OF FEARS FASTING PRAYER was planned. This prayer time is based on Jeremiah 9:1 – “Oh that my head were waters, And my eyes a FOUNTAIN OF TEARS, that I might weep day and night, For the slain of the daughter of my people”. It is also based on Jeremiah 9:10 – “For the MOUNTAINS I will take up a weeping and wailing…” The first meeting held on June 8, Saturday between 10 to 3 p.m., drew 13 people working in different corporate companies and hailing from different churches (AGies to Emmanuel House of Worship). After a time of prayer for the problems of the nation, we took time to pray for needs of individuals present which was for a godly life partner, mostly. God’s presence swept our base! Two short messages, one by Duke and another by Evan blessed those who came. Post the fasting prayer, there was a time of rich fellowship and a lip-smacking idly late-lunch. Moving on to talk about two other prayer-meets: Duke ministered in two early morning services of the 40-day fasting prayer of the NLAG, Secunderabad, during Lent Season 2013. “Gifts of the Spirit put in g-i-f-t-s” & “This Judas Can Be You” – were the two message that Duke preached. In Life Fellowship, Trivandrum, Duke shared a message titled, “Don’t give up!” Duke’s messages strengthened the believers.






 

FIVE YOUTH MEETINGS/YOUTH CAMPS!

If young people are reached FIRST, India will be reached FAST! This, we at Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission, strongly believe! Revived young people make fantastic, fast-moving witnesses for Jesus, don’t they? Keeping this mind, we accept invitations from churches to minister to their young people. Between November 2012 to June 2013, Duke Jeyaraj ministered in five youth meetings/youth camps. The Emmanuel AG Church, Pune, the Mark Buntain Memorial AG Church, Kolkata, the Trichy City AG Church, Trichy, the Centenary Baptist Church, Hyderabad, and the CSI Wesley Church, Musheerabad, Hyderabad were the five churches which had Duke Jeyaraj minister to their youth during this period. Duke preached messages from unlikely Bible passages (like, Ezekiel 23), on taboo topics (like, sex, love, marriage, etc.,), with great results (like, young people, some fighting back their tears, surrendering their head, heart, hands, heels, to Jesus). The message that Duke preached in Kolkata, “Still Single?: Here are some possible reasons why,” was uploaded on his youtube channel: www.youtube.com/visitduke. The outline of one of his messages to the Baptist youth was titled, “Popular UnBiblical Alternatives To Marriage Questioned,” and this was uploaded to www.freshbiblestudy.wordpress.com. A browser from Australia said that he was blessed by that upload. Duke’s wife Evangelin (Evan), joined him to minister along-side him, some of the time in these meetings. During her message on secrets of winning the battle against sin to a bunch of CSI church youth in Medak, she moved the youth to lift their Bibles and vow to use the Bible as a ‘sword’ to overcome Sin and Satan (see picture). Questions that young people asked were answered with courage and candidness, and without compromise by the duo of Duke & Evan.
