Sadhu Sundar Singh
December 19th, 2005
The life of Sadhu Sundar Singh was most remarkable in it’s Christ-likeness. He was born amidst the depths of Indian culture and religion, and into a Sikh family. During the early part of his life, Sundar’s mother would take him week by week to sit at the feet of a sadhu, an ascetic holy man, who lived some distance away in the rainforest.
But with the death of his beloved mother when he was only fourteen years old, the young Sundar grew increasingly despairing and aggressive. His hatred of the local missionaries and Christians culminated in the public burning of a bible, which he tore apart page by page and threw, into the flames.
Yet before long Sundar was intent on taking his own life. Sundar had arrived at a point of desperation: he had decided to throw himself under the Ludhiana express if God did not reveal to him the true way of peace.
At three in the morning he rose from his bed and went out into the moonlit courtyard for the ceremonial bath observed by devout Hindus and Sikhs before worship. He then returned to his room and knelt down, bowed his head to the ground and pleaded that God would reveal himself. Yet, nothing happened.
He had not known what to expect: a voice, a vision, and a trance? Still nothing happened. And it was fast approaching the time for the Lothian express.
He lifted his head and opened his eyes, and was rather surprised to see a faint cloud of light in the room. It was too early for the dawn. He opened the door and peered out to the courtyard. Darkness. Turning back into the room, he saw that the light in the room was getting brighter. To his sheer amazement, he saw not the face of any of his traditional gods, but of Jesus the Christ.
Jesus Christ was there in the room, shining, radiating an inexpressible joy, peace, and love, looking at him with compassion and asking, “Why do you persecute me? I died for you…”
From here on the life of Sundar Singh became most Christ-like. Being unwilling to denounce his Master, it was not long before his family had rejected him. Sundar took the saffron robes of the sadhu and began a life of spreading the simple message of love and peace and rebirth through Jesus. He carried no money or other possessions, only a New Testament.
He traveled India and Tibet , as well as the rest of the world, with the message that the modern interpretation of Jesus was sadly watered down. He visited the West twice, traveling to Britain , the United States , and Australia in 1920, and Europe again in 1922.
With the large number of “spiritual paths” and “techniques?, facing the world of today it is of special value to consider the life and insights of one who truly embraced the simplicity, love and freedom offered through devotion to Christ.
“I am not worthy to follow in the steps of my Lord,” he said, “but like Him, I want no home, no possessions. Like Him I will belong to the road, sharing the suffering of my people, eating with those who will give me shelter, and telling all people of the love of God.”

A Gritty testimony of deliverance .
My name is Rev Verona Allagoa-Rose. Three years after a personal encounter with Christ, I was ordained in 1993, and have been a Godchaser since then. Unfortunately, I went through a divorce in 1998, after 18 yrs of marriage, and obtained custody of my three children. Almost immediately, I began to hear and sense a demon spirit manifesting in my house. There were different awful manifestations such as horrible smells; rubbish; rotting meat; farts, and food going bad. In addition there were doors shutting and objects falling down.
This spirit told me that it was God and that it had come to make me pay for my sins. It followed me about everywhere with abuse and compelling requests that I commit suicide. It went to work with me, shopping and worst of all to church where it did everything to stop my prayer and worship with verbal abuse and the most disgusting smells e.g rotting eggs.
My Senior Pastor had no idea of what was happening to me and continued to preach the prosperity gospel. There was little preaching of holiness and no efforts to start deliverance sessions to set people free. Because I was a Minister, I tried to get rid of this spirit on my own through the usual channels of praying and fasting and commanding it to leave by the power of Christ and by the blood of Jesus. Nothing worked, and eventually the Lord warned me that it was a principality and that I needed to get help from someone with an anointing bigger than mine.
Simultaneously my daughter began to suffer from bipolar affective disorder, and everytime I sensed this evil spirit manifest and go and stand behind my daughters’ chair, a terrible fight would erupt between us. She began to suffer from agoraphobia, and was unable to leave the University hostel to go to classes. In addition, she was attacked with confusion and memory loss, and was instantly unable to cope with the calibre of her studies at University.
She failed her exams at University, and could not sustain relationships because of the dreadful anger which the Lord described as coming from spirits called the furies.
I eventually left the church when I found a church with a more powerful anointing. Here there were regular deliverance sessions and the gospel was preached with signs and wonders following. It was here that I asked the man of God for help and told him what was happening to us. He prayed for me and asked me to go back home. When I returned home, my daughter was healed and delivered and the evil spirit was silent. I became a deliverance Minister in this church and was used by the Holy Spirit frequently. It took a little more time but by the next Easter, I woke up one day to the most ethereal smells, the scent of a rose; the sharpness of chloroform, and the sweetness of the lily.
I heard the demon spirit begin to scream. ‘He’s killing me, he’s killing me. That was the end of the evil Spirit. My daughter is back in University and coming top in her class regularly. As for me, the attacks of chest pain, memory loss, and insomnia have stopped.
I give the Lord the glory and plead with the Christian church to sit up because of my testimony. Depression is not a chemical imbalance that can be cured with seroxtat and other pills. Depression is a spirit with a mind and a malevolent purpose. The voices that people hear when they are depressed are not figments of the imagination. There are wicked spirits behind those voices and their intention is to destroy the living and to keep them as far away as possible from the Living Jesus, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Each time I dressed up to go to church I was attacked with foul odours, my belly swelling up, so that no clothes could fit; chest pain, or sleeping inappropriately and even snoring in church. I have listed some of the manifestations of the demons which I noticed personally or which I have seen others experience in my church, More than conquerors ministry, in London, England. Please check my website veronarose.com. My book is titled ‘The archbishop and the deliverance of Verona Rose’published in2007 by Iuniverse. It can be purchased at Amazon, waterstones, WH Smith and major bookstores by telephone order. It is the first of a Trilogy which will describe the activities of demons in the Church today and how to get rid of them.
May the Lord witness the truth of my message to you so that you will live in victory through living in holiness. He is a holy God, thrice holy and cannot be compromised. Please put this article in your magazine for the edification of the saints of God. Hosea 4.6 states that people perish for lack of sufficient knowledge. People need a knowledge of the activities of demons spirits and the challenges that other Christians have faced with them.
I will be delighted to serialize my book for free if requested. My prayer and desire is to start a revival which will destroy the devil, who is sitting comfortably in the church; and the spirit of Islam, which is deceiving millions worldwide and keeping them away from Christ. If you are in prison you would have noticed that you were in a kind of prison long before you were caught and jailed. That is because the demons who were controlling you and producing your negative behaviour had you bound and addicted to evil. Read my book and you will be astonished at the horrible spirits who can take over people’s lives and push them to doing evil in order to destroy them. Jesus Christ is waiting to set you free, if you repent and ask him for forgiveness. So that when you are eventually released you will be a testimony of God’s goodness; and you will never go back to a life of evil.Check my website and buy two copies of my book, one for yourself and one for someone else you that you want to lead to Christ. The Lord will do it using my testimony because it is unusual and powerful.
God bless you. May he set you free as he set me free.
Rev Verona Allagoa-Rose.
