Bishop M.A. Lalachan
Bishop M.A. Lalachan (1966–present). Born on May 20, 1966, in Niranam, Kerala, India, Lalachan Abraham, known as Bishop M.A. Lalachan, is a prominent Indian pastor, Bible teacher, and executive director of Transformation India Movement (TIM) based in Patna, Bihar. The seventh of ten children in a traditional Christian family, he was raised with strict discipline but lacked a personal faith until his late teens. A transformative encounter during a sermon’s altar call, inspired by Psalms 32:8—“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go”—led him to commit to ministry. He studied theology at a Bible college in Kerala and began serving in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Lalachan spent over 25 years with Believers Church/Gospel for Asia, establishing churches in Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and Bihar, mentoring hundreds of clergy and workers. His preaching focuses on revival, servant leadership, and the Gospel’s transformative power, as seen in sermons like “What Child Is This” (Isaiah 9:6–7). Currently, he emphasizes church planting and training through TIM. Married, though personal details are sparse, he remains active in Bihar, saying, “The greatest among you must be a servant.”

Attitude Flows From the Soul of the Person
“Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5(AMP) Attitude flows from the Soul of the Person and right attitude refers to the consistency of Character that matches words and actions, vision and choice values and behaviors. Mind of Christ is what God requires from us. He wants to change us into the Glorious image of his son Jesus. If we are willing to co-operate with the Holy Spirit then the change can take place from the inside. People with Negative attitude are our biggest obstacle to maintain friendships, ministry, marriage, and relationships. Negative attitude is reflected by bitterness, resentment, frustration, ill-health, and a purposeless life and they’ll always criticize and create negative environment at home & work & also they pass on their negative behaviors and energy to others around them. People with negative attitude will blame the whole world, their Leaders, teachers, spouse, the economy and the government for their failures. Even in paradise fault finders will find faults. Most people find what they are looking for. If you’re looking for friendship, happiness, and the positive, that is what you get. The greatest discovery of our generation is that we can alter our lives by altering our attitudes of mind. Primarily three factors that determine our attitude are: - Environment, experience& education. Stay away from negative influences and negative people, negative behavior, negative environment and programs. Attitude applies to every sphere of life, including one’s personal and professional life. A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit of all season. There is something positive in every person and every situation. We are so used to Looking for what is wrong with other people and situation; we forget to see what is right. Someone one’s said: - Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Ability without the right attitude is wasted energy and good look without goodness is irritation. Good children, good parents, good students, good teacher, good leader, good pastor, regardless of their chosen field what makes them good is good attitude. People with positive attitude are caring, confident, patient, and humble. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Start your day with a positive thoughts and behavior as a part of our lives such as: Prayer and meditation of God’s word. “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17
