My dear wife Saida became a committed Christian on Easter Sunday, at a tender age of 16. She lost her own father when he died at a very young age, (42 years) and Saida was only sixteen months old. She came to the revelation, after going through intense spiritual warfare, that only God the Father can fill the place of this sad demise. Psalm 68 verse 5: He will be a Father to the fatherless… Psalm 82 verse 3: Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; …deliver them from the hand of the wicked. She has come to the realisation, after cementing her prayer foundation, that she should have exercised the gift of discernment, in regard to elevating the church pastors and leaders to a high and lofty pedestal, (who did more harm than good), to fill this vacuum : the void and the absentee love of her own father. In the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, LVB Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false teachers who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are wolves and will tear you apart.” She realises now she should have developed an intimate relationship with her Heavenly God, Abba Father and come to know Him as her own Precious Father.

The Nicholas family outside St. Dunstan's College, Lewisham, London. It was at this College that Paul & Jannine Nicholas were awarded top Academic Scholarships after passing the entrance exams with distinctions.

During the time Paul and Jannine were attending St. Dunstan's College, the following were the appointed Headmasters. Mr B. D. Dance, -July 1993, Mr. J. D. Moore,1993- July,1997,  Mr. D. I. Davies, September 1997- 2004  and  Mrs Fiona Cordeaux  September 2004 -2006.

 Interestingly enough Mr. Anthony F. Seldon was one time the Deputy Headmaster whilst Paul was studying there. We notice that Mr. Seldon is a regular contributor now on some very stimulating Radio 4 Programmes. He is currently the 13^th Master of Wellington College located in the Berkshire village of Crowthorne.

"St Dunstan’s College in Catford has a long lasting impressive history. It was opened on Monday 1^st October 1888.

It takes its name from the parish of St. Dunstan-in - the - East in the City of London. He was born in the early 10^th century near Glastonbury where he later became Abbot. Dunstan was famed as a teacher, a craftsman, artist and musician. He helped to revive the monasteries of England and the Church proclaimed him a saint shortly after his death in 988 AD."

To read their inspiring profiles, both Paul and Jannine, press the following links:

A) Read about Paul graduating from Cambridge University

B) Read why Jannine's photo and an article appeared in the Croydon Advertiser, 31st August 2007. She received an official letter from St. Johns College Cambridge January 2009 stating that they are delighted to be able to tell her that she has been given a conditional offer of a place to read for a BA Honours degree in Law----but the conditions are tight and demanding.

The above photograph is the school Saida attended in Kampala, Uganda, located on Makerere Road, Old Kampala.
 

The Aga Khan School, one of the Foundational schools funded by the Prince Aga Khan himself. The funding is conjoined to the Aga Khan Development Network, a charitable agency. Whilst Saida was growing up in Kampala she elegantly followed her family to go and meet the present Aga Khan, Prince Karim, (The Aga Khan 1V) in the beautifully decorated “Jamat Khana” (gathering House/Place-Old Kampala) on the few occasions he visited Uganda. Thousands came to see him including those from other parts of Africa, meaning all those Ismailis who honour him as their spiritual leader. Even today the memory of these meetings is still vivid and fresh in Saida’s mind.

The photograph below shows some members  of Saida's  family. This photo was taken in 1991.

 Seated from left to right: Sadhru Tarmohamud, his wife Roshan, (Saida's sister),  Naseem & Badhur Baloo, ( her sister & brother).

Standing left to right are Shellina née Tarmohamud,  Nizar Baloo, Nazma &  Mahmud Tarmohamud.

     Nizar Karmali Baloo( brother) and family reside in Surrey, United Kingdom. The rest of Saida's family seen in this picture are currently residing in British Columbia, Canada.

 We pray for the protection of our Lord on our lives. Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6v10-20 is read in our household daily to combat all forms of adversaries, dangers, accidents, sicknesses, diseases etc. We reverse and boomerang back in its full package every demonic curse back to the place of origination. Psalm 28v4: “Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours – render to them their desert!” We thank God for His anointed Word.

"If you are trying to decipher what  the above means in common parlance, then please press This Link: and read what happened to the Nicholas family. You will  encounter what warfare is! The above will become self explanatory."

Since 1983 as a family, we have been proclaiming, confessing and loudly acclaiming in a prophetic manner various scriptural verses. Job opportunities are opening up for Saida in various hospitals. She feels fulfilled that her years of experience are bearing great fruit now. She does a good amount of work at the Pediatric unit. Sometimes she is called to work at the Neo-natal intensive care unit.
Thank God, that El- Shaddai, her Divine Father, is being very faithful to her. He is a Gracious and a Compassionate loving God!
 

We continue to meditate on this scriptural promise, which is coming to pass in our lives and it's found in a passage in the book of Joel Chapter 2:

24. And the threshing floors will be full of grain,

And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.

25. "Then I will make up to you for the years

That the swarming locust has eaten,

The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust,

My great army, which I sent among you.

26. "And you shall have plenty to eat and be satisfied,

And praise the name of the Lord your God,

Who has dealt wondrously with you;

Then My people will never be put to shame.

intense pain.

  After preaching the anointed Word, Anton laid hands and prayed for the people in need. We were grateful for the Presence of The Holy Ghost. Do watch the video and we pray as you are viewing that the healing power of the cross of Jesus will touch you personally.

           Do watch a snippet of a very popular TV programme of Saida at work viewed by a significant global audience shown at peak time on BBC 1.

 Anton was an orthodox, ultra-conservative, devout Roman Catholic, attending daily Mass. He came from a very true-blue Roman Catholic family and receiving daily Communion was very significant. Whereas Saida was  a thoroughbred born- again evangelical Christian, an evangelist drawing people to Jesus, who could not understand the concept that a Roman Catholic can experience a spiritual rebirth too. The answer lies in the vision. It was a three dimensional open vision in which our Lord Jesus appeared twice to Anton and showed him the whole marriage scene and the individuals involved. Thereby divinely mandating Anton to marry Saida. (For he needed this powerful personal visitation to marry a non -Catholic-for he had an unswerving loyalty to the Catholic Church).

For further information regarding dietetic consultations please follow this link

Valerie Meilton was the Chief Dietitian at Guys Teaching Hospital in London. During the year 1987, she was called of the Lord to join Anton’s prayer ministry. Through a revelation of the Lord she resigned from the financially and permanently secured Chief Dietitian post. She had to totally trust our Lord here, for in self employment, the world will say, she was moving into unknown territory, but in the Lord's eyes she was moving into the land, flowing with milk and honey: a good land - a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills, a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing. Our Lord  graciously delivered a business program to Anton to commence a dietetic business and it grew to become a very successful business and our Lord prospered her spiritually for whilst she was a Dietitian at Guys she was going through a dark night of her soul: depressed, disillusioned and totally in despair.Valerie's self-esteem was at the lowest ebb possible. Her Seniors, including the Head of her Department encouraged her to seek counselling within the precincts of the hospital. Thank God the prayer foundation gave her total deliverance and esteemed her highly. She now runs Dietetic clinics single-handedly, a function she was incapable of doing in the past.

In the year 2001, we gave her the promised holiday of her lifetime – a two-week visit to Malaysia. She enjoyed the sunshine, the coconut and the palm trees plus the sandy beach on the island of Penang. A Christian businessman in Malaysia went out of his way to extend his hand of favour upon us – he booked us into a four star hotel in Penang at a very special price and did a similar favour for us to secure accommodation, in one of the most busiest night spots in the Capital city. Kuala Lumpur by night is a beautiful sight. (The businessman has extended his kind invitation for us to visit Malaysia every year including the offer of low prices to stay at the best hotels.) Valerie was visibly moved and shocked to see the prosperity of Kuala Lumpur. The tallest twin towers in the world are located in this city. A word of thanks is extended to my family too, (which includes my father) who gave us a very pleasant and a thoroughly splendid holiday – plus exotic food and fruits galore!

Valerie who is now an adopted member of the Nicholas household is of the conviction that we ought to take up the Businessman's offer and visit Malaysia every year!!!!!!!
