Psalm 23 verse 1: The Lord is My Shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 91 ( Hebraic Version) Verse 1: You who live in the shelter of Elyon ( Most High),who spends your nights in the shadow of Shaddai(Breasted One).

It was my father's Dad, Bastianpillai Paul Nicholas between the years of 1918–1920, who commenced his first monetary business providing financial services in Ipoh, Perak, Malaya.
Due to the date references he is recognised as one of the first Asian bankers in the history of British Colonial Malaya.

My Dad is positioned in the centre of this photograph. You will observe that a photograph of my late Mum can be seen in the background.

An all consumingly passionate entrepreneur driven by a strategic vision, who single-handedly brought an idea to pass, overcoming obdurate hurdles and colonial prepotency.

The photograph is of David John Lamb with his wife Joyce Lamb née Amirdaratnam. Saida is pictured in the foreground. She worked on a voluntary basis alongside David Lamb as a co-evangelist at St. Mark's Church, Kennington.
Saida now seriously ponders when she was involved with this aspect of evangelism why she was so subservient to all these individuals? For she had this concept that the only way she was going to be accepted and befriended by most of the local Christians was to highly esteem them. Thereby receiving in a reverential manner every counsel and advice given to her which formulated into total appeasement.
One needs to hear Anton & Saida's wedding video much lower down, entitled, 'Jesus showed a vision of our marriage'. It had to be a real 3 dimensional vision to convince a true blue Roman Catholic to marry a lady with strong Evangelical convictions.
It was extraordinary what the Vicar Canon Nicholas Rivett-Carnac testified about Saida. It is worth watching and hearing the testimony about how Saida sacrificed her career. Slide the video forward to 10 minutes and 17 seconds. The bridegroom nearly fell off his chair after hearing the Vicar's testimony!
We now think the Lambs are linked with Ashford Christian Fellowship in Kent.

Saida has now recognised that Our Lord should have been her main focus and her only foundation.
Saida collapsing in anguishing pain. A very powerful story. Do follow this link for it's revelatory in nature.
Saida, we are proclaiming these verses with zeal. May the manifestation be fulfilled with joy by proclaiming these verses:
Proverbs 6:31 Someone who has stolen, shall repay sevenfold and hand over all the substance of his house and Joel Chapter 2
25) The LORD says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts."
26) Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the LORD your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people be disgraced".
This link might surprise you - For exaltation and honour has come upon our fully restored Saida. She did become a Nursing Sister, and completed a course at King's College, University of London. Also attended another course at The City University, London.
We see the need to seriously pray for the protection of our Lord on our lives. Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6 v10–20 are read daily to combat all forms of adversaries, dangers, sicknesses, diseases etc. We reverse and boomerang back in its entire package every demonic curse/group pronouncements/utterances back to the place of origination.
Thank you Jesus.
As an addendum Joyce Lamb's brother, Edward Thevaraj Amirdaratnam, was my best man at our wedding. He is married to Jane.
Edward Amirdaratnam is standing to the left of myself.
Amazingly we have now lost all contact with this family.

The photograph is of Daniel John McGill.
There was a period, a few years after our marriage, from February 1986 until mid June 1986 when Danny offered us accommodation at his home in Loughborough Road, Brixton.
As a young Christian, he used to come to our first home in Prima Road, which was located near the world famous Oval Cricket Ground. He usually arrived at our home un-announced and we always offered him friendship and ministry in the Word, for he was nurturing himself in the Christian Faith. Saida always rounded up the evening by feeding him the best finely cooked Basmati rice and a delicious curry. He thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship. We have no idea where he is located now.
On one occasion Alan Meyer stayed with Danny as part of a community. It was Alan's late dear precious wife Pippa who led the Praise and Worship for us when Anton led the prayer meetings at St. Marks, Kennington. The worship brought tremendous joy to our Lord. God The Holy Spirit manifested His Presence during the prayer meeting.

Read a further story regarding what happened during Pippa Meyer's last few hours before she went to be with our Lord.

It was during this time we also became acquainted with Gerry Kearney from the Republic of Ireland. We used to worship and shared bread, (Holy Communion) together at a charismatic church in North London, Victory Christian Centre, Hampstead.

We also want to acknowledge the assistance of Steven Burton in helping us transport our belongings from Loughborough Road, Brixton to Peckham. Mary, whom we also knew, married Steve Burton. Steve and Danny ran a joint business partnership together during this period, 1986. (Steve in carpentry and Danny in bricklaying etc.)

It was also during this period of time that we took care of Jonathan Gwilt when he stayed in our basement, from August 1990 till February 1991. He was completing his Chartered Accountancy Exams. He left our premises just before our daughter Jannine was born. A qualified Chartered Accountant whom we believe might be employed as the Financial Director of Elim Kensington Temple.

It is so extraordinary that years later our Daughter in Law Gloria Nicholas, whilst staying with us, also completed her Chartered Accountancy Exams. She is now joyfully employed with Holy Trinity Clapham,UK as their Finance Manager.

Wedding Anniversary

The photograph above was taken on 23rd August 2008. To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary we took our family to this grand Cameron Highlands Resort, 5000 feet above sea level, opposite a only spectacular 18 hole golf course, Tanah Rata, Pahang, Darul Makmur, Malaysia. We convey our thanks to my youngest brother Fintan for getting this memorable celebration so well orchestrated!

Lead Kindly Light

John Henry Newman, who was a young English Priest, wrote the Hymn Lead Kindly Light when he was afflicted with a serious illness. This occurred whilst staying in the island of Sicily which is situated near Italy. He was far from home and really believed he was facing death. In one extraordinary moment, which I refer to it as a touch from the Lord, The Blessed Cardinal Newman wrote this very moving hymn. It will definitely minister to all those who are facing loneliness, darkness and confusion.
Visitors from all over the world have seen this video. This will be an anointed final Hymn to sing in all churches when we finally depart, smartly dressed and in our coffins to be truly and warmly welcomed by our Beloved Saviour, Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth into the glorious splendour of Heaven.
On Saturday 18th September 2010, we attended the much needed Prayer Vigil at Hyde Park, London. Between 8 pm and 8-30 pm, darkness had fallen and most of the 80,000 congregants assembled were on their knees, heads bowed in solemn prayer on the grass in Hyde Park. In devotion and reverence this Hymn was sung, "Lead Kindly Light".
Watch the video below and prayerfully observe how strong the impartation of the Holy Ghost is. Do check it out for moments of this nature are very rare. It comforts us to know that over 202,200 viewers of all nationalities have accepted our request to view this video.

Early Life

It was in 1980 in St. Mark's Church, Kennington, London Saida co worked as an Evangelist when the late Canon Sir Nicholas Rivett-Carnac, was the Vicar of St. Mark's Church, (Vicar from 1972-1989). She was the first individual from the congregation, of over 600, who accepted the calling to do "tent making". A pioneer within St. Marks, she sacrificed her financial pursuits in order to have the free time available to tell the local people about Jesus.
I need to state in here the words of 1 Cor.15 verse 58: Be steadfast - in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain - although I must add quickly that her recognised gifting was publicly spoken of and declared from the pulpit on the day of our marriage where more than 400 people were invited to attend our wedding and feast at our reception.

The photograph below was taken before Saida left, Kampala, Uganda. Having completed part of her education at The Aga Khan School located on Makerere Road, Old Kampala.

This was a place of familiarity compared to the United Kingdom especially as she travelled unaccompanied on the flight to Gatwick Airport. As you can see, at this stage she was oozing with tremendous self confidence and assurance. These positive aspects were severely shaken during her time at a much sought after top Grammar School in North London. For she had to confront an issue that came out unexpectedly that caused many reverberations.
If you are curious do check out how the issue manifested itself. Thereafter through unwise counselling her confidence was severely shaken in London.
Saida was once a model but we hear someone saying that this modelling phenomenon is a lark - well check it out!
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. A picture of Saida (radiantly joyful) and the family are at the very bottom of this home page.
The problem was that Saida had a surplus, an overflow of spiritual mothers, spiritual fathers, counselors, advisors, mentors and during our courtship loads of engagement and marriage counselors etc, etc, etc.
She lost her own father when he died at a very young age of 42 years and Saida was only sixteen months old.
The lessons behind this are, if one does not spend hours praying, an individual would not be able to recognize the authentic voice of God. The flip side to this, devoid of prayer, one begins to move into the realm of confusion, distortion, the enemy moves in, in various disguises and without discerning it, one will be pulled into the realm of counseling fodder.
If only the counsellors had fulfilled this verse, it would have saved Saida a lot of heartache, much grief, torment of soul and intense pain: Acts 6 v 4: '...and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. v5: This proposal pleased the whole group.'
Fellowshipping with Jesus in the Word and in Prayer.
For its through continuously acknowledging the Presence Of The HOLY GHOST, constant and consistent prayer, saturating, soaking the Word of God that will manifest sound and wise counseling.
Anton also led a well-attended early morning prayer meeting for about two years in the upstairs chambers at St. Marks Church Kennington, London, with an emphasis on united prayer visit:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity… for there the Lord commanded the blessing – life evermore! The format was the Lord's Prayer.

Malaysia 2008 & 2009

During our last visit to Malaysia, 2009, we stopped to have high tea at the Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel, located near the beautiful Lake Gardens in Kuala Lumpur. We chose to have an English afternoon tea when someone told us that the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince Consort, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh stayed in this grand hotel. The first to live in this seven-bedroom/nine-bathroom mansion was British Resident-General Sir Frank Swettenham in 1896. We also celebrated part of Paul's birthday there.
During July/August 2008 we were in Malaysia celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The most precious week occurred during our time on the mountain top in Cameron Highlands, Pahang, around 5000 feet above sea level. When we came back "to earth" arriving in Kuala Lumpur from this resort we attended a church in Petaling Jaya and to hear what happened, please play the audio recording below. Before becoming a Pastor, Rev Roy Muttiah actually worked as a Barrister. His late brother Allen Muttiah was also a Barrister and resided in the lovely Island of Penang.
Click below to hear the very apt prophecy given by Pastor Roy Muttiah to each member of the Nicholas family, 24th August 2008 in Cornerstone Glory Church, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

Our sincere apologies about the picture and voice quality, referencing the YouTube below. To view how the interior of the Church looks then do view the video response below. We pray that you will just hear and meditate on the major points of the testimony: the process and the Godly instructions we received on how to purchase a property.
Even to just hear Joy Muttiah, the youngest daughter to Pastor Roy, play an anointed piece of music on the piano is something which will deeply touch you. To listen to the fragrant music, you need to view below:

Pastor Roy is the brother in law to the late Dr. Joy Seevaratnam of Penang, Malaysia. (Dr. Joy passed away into the Lord's Presence on 7th January 2014). In 1985 Dr. Joy and his wife Elsie prophesied to us as a family and every word of the prophecy has come to pass. Although he was a medical Doctor he operated more in signs and wonders and he offered his patients the option to be prayed for. Given the fact that in Malaysia a patient pays for his prescription from his own income, for the economically deprived this can be quite expensive. Through signs and wonders Dr Joy healed and delivered many through the Name of Jesus and this was indeed a free service.
This link indicates that Dr. Joy's prophetic word has rubbed on us: It's such a joy to know that we have received countless hits regarding this LINK:---
During our trip to Malaysia (2008) we also enjoyed great fellowship with Pastor Reuben Seevaratnam, Global Harvest Assembly - Penang, Malaysia and Pastor Raymond Yeo of Kingdom Christian Fellowship, Subang Jaya, Selangor. May all your harvest mature in Christ Jesus.

We want to acknowledge our Lord's blessings on this website. It was blessed and inaugurated officially on 1 August 2002.

Church Life

The Nicholas family worshipped at All Saints Church, Peckham for 13 years. From 20th July 2003 till the 23rd May 2010 the presiding Vicar was Rev. Frog Orr-Ewing. His wife is Amy Orr-Ewing.
For some time Anton led an early morning prayer meeting at St. Marks Chambers. During this period the Vicar was Nicholas Rivett-Carnac. Not many people in St. Marks were aware of his family history. His father ended his naval career as a Vice-Admiral and was involved in both World Wars, 1 and 2. He commanded the battleship Rodney and was Rear-Admiral in charge of the Normandy Beaches during the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944.
At the Memorial and Thanksgiving service for Nicholas Rivett-Carnac held at St. Marks Church on 23rd of October 2004 we heard Bishop Peter Walker, a former Principal of Westcott House Theological College Cambridge, saying in his testimonial that the wife of the Rear Admiral told the Bishop that if her husband had just made one mistake, it would have changed the whole direction of the war. What an awesome responsibility!
Nicholas Rivett-Carnac joined the Scots Guards. He spent 10 years with the regiment, serving as a platoon commander during the fierce fighting in Malaya, when he was mentioned in dispatches. He returned home in time to take part in the Coronation Procession in 1953. This clan of the Rivett-Carnacs were either Military men or Vicars. It's just an interesting note that Nicholas Rivett Carnac served in both capacities.
View the plaque placed on the wall of St. Marks Church, Kennington in memory of the late Reverend Nicholas Rivett Carnac. This dedication service took place on June 30th 2007.
