My Dad is positioned in the centre of this photograph. You wil observe that a photograph of my late Mum can be seen in the background.
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. Please read more here :Press Link-

Can one believe that we are still living in the days of the Acts of the Apostles, which can be found in the New Testament of the Bible. These miraculous stories happened after Jesus ascended to Heaven. When there was a prevalence of the activity of God the Holy Spirit followed by signs and wonders.
My wife Saida experiencing intense pain.'Press this LINK:

From left David lamb, Saida and Joyce Lamb 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. Press this link 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.

Serve God, not man


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.

Anton's birthday 2013






































Danny John McGill. The photograph is of Danny 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.

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. He was completing his Chartered Accountancy Exams. He left our premises just before our daughter was born.
A qualified Chartered Accountant whom we believe might be employed as the Financial Director of Elim Kensington Temple.

It is so strange that years later our Daughter in Law Gloria, whist staying with us, also completed her Chartered Accountancy Exams.

Did Malaya miss out on an elite Malaysian becoming Secretary General of the United Nations?

After his graduation from St. John's College, Cambridge with a Triple First, he was invited for dinner at 10 Downing Street by Mr. Stanley Baldwin the then Prime Minister of England.

The thinker who influenced Mr Baldwin the most was Sir Henry Maine, who wrote the Ancient Law. Maine’s idea was that societies were being replaced from hierarchy and command to freedom and consent. This  greatly influenced Mr Baldwin. Mr Benedict Ponniah was an up and coming aspiring Asian leader.

Our daughter Jannine   commencing October 2011, will be the President to The Winfield Society(2011-2012) ( Equivalent to the St. John’s College, University of Cambridge, Law Society.) One of the many functions she has to do will include giving the Winfield Dinner address when all the highly placed legal luminaries will be invited to St John's College Formal Hall. This will include Judges from the High Court, The Supreme Court, Queen's Counsel's, top Solicitors, Magistrates and anyone else formulating Legal law in the United Kingdom. A special invite will be rendered to those who graduated from St Johns and who are well recognised legal celebrities now.

Visit Anton's Daily Readings , these Daily Readings are timeless. They are construed and formulated from every day living. They are applicable in every year-- to get a glimpse of how closely involved God the Father is in our lives.

Do read the prophetic word Anton received for 2021.

Our son Paul  received his MA from Cambridge, March 2009, and his MSc from Imperial College, London. He obtained all the Institute of Actuaries (England) exemptions available as part of the MSc course.

He was also awarded a distinction (a first) for his MSc. His graduation ceremony for his MSc took place in the Royal Albert Hall, May 2009.

On 17th July 2009 Paul conveyed the thrilling news to us that he had passed his final Actuarial Paper. On 24th July 2009 his name was published in the London Times, page 68 stating he is now a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries.

Our daughter Jannine received an official letter from St. John's College, Cambridge in January 2009 stating that they were delighted to be able to offer her a conditional place to read for a BA Honours degree in Law commencing October 2009.The conditions were exacting.She needed to get a minimum mark of 90% for her A level subjects.

Profile of Valerie Meilton.

On Friday, 16th January 1999, we were in Valerie’s house in Claygate, Surrey. At 11-15 pm we were about to leave for London, we went to say goodnight to Valerie’s Mum Vera Meilton. It was during this momentous moment she looked directly at us and told us in a rather sweet indirect fashion, “Please take care of my only daughter”. She was clearly unwell, the final words she uttered to us were, “All you need is Jesus.” We than prayed and anointed Vera with Holy oil and dedicated her to the sweet Presence of Jesus. 6 days later she died peacefully at Kingston General Hospital, with Valerie holding her hands.

The final words of Valerie‘s Mum to us echo so closely to the wonderful quotation of Oswald Chambers: “They feared as they entered the cloud.” Is there anyone, “save Jesus only” in your cloud? If so, it will get darker; you must get into the place where there is “no one save Jesus only”

Valerie’s father passed away on 6th May 1991. Valerie has now become a member of our family. We took heed to Mum's mandate.

INTRODUCTION OF NEW VICAR. ( 2011.)

The Vicar for All Saints Church, Peckham is The Reverend Jonathan Mortimer. He is married to Ruthli and they have two children.

We attended the Institution and the Induction of the Reverend Jonathan Mortimer on 7th July 2011. We were impressed by the sermon delivered by the current Bishop of Southwark, The Right Reverend Christopher Chessun.

So refreshing to note that the current Bishop of Southwark believed in the words of Matthew 10 verses 5 -15, even citing a true to life example that he was invited to come to King’s College Hospital on this induction day to pray for an individual who was seriously injured in a car accident and who had died twice. He also quoted an example of his very own dear identical twin brother being ministered to by a healing team. Three cheers to the Bishop.

Incidentally do Press the LINK here to read Anton's response to the sermon preached by the  Rt. Honourable Dr. Richard Chartres, the current Bishop of London at the Royal wedding. Brethren our prayers were answered. The Bishop's opening words were: "Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire."

Our honeymoon was a very generous wedding gift from these kind people, the Rev. Michael Barling and the late Helen Clarke. When we knew Michael he was then the acting Vicar at St Marks Church, Kennington whilst Nicholas was on his sabbatical leave. Michael was also the former Principal of School of Ministry at Kingdom Faith, Horsham, linked to Kingdom Faith Ministries which was led by the late Senior Pastor Colin Urquhart.



Both Michael and Helen booked us into a very beautiful large en suite bedroom at the Harte & Garte Hotel on the High Street at Windsor exactly facing Windsor Castle where occasionally the Royal Family resides. This hotel has individually designed bedrooms. It offers an unrivalled view over Windsor Castle. All our expenses were paid for by them. This thoughtful generous gift will always be treasured! We actually ate quite a lot of steak during this time. There was a restaurant somewhere within the hotel that specialised in steaks. We must confess that we have never eaten so much steak in all our life: past and current!!

For a period of time the Reverend Michael and June Barling ministered in a church near Taunton. The Church is referred to as Kingdom Faith South West, Taunton, Somerset.

Helen Smith Clark was promoted to Heaven on the 21st of September 2005. She was in her eighties. We did attend her funeral held on the 12th of October 2005 at a beautifully located village church, St. Mary’s Church, Balcombe, West Sussex.

June Bailey and the Reverend Dr. Robert Ward rendered part of the testimonies (eulogies) during the funeral.

Paul's graduation ceremony

Paul graduated with an Honours Degree in his Mathematics tripos from Christ's College, University of Cambridge, 1st July 2005. Paul is pictured with his parents, his sister Jannine and our adopted family member Valerie who is positioned on the extreme left. Our fresh breaking news in 2009 is that Paul will be receiving his MA from Cambridge, March 2009, and his MSc from Imperial College, London. He was also awarded a distinction (a first) for his MSc. His graduation ceremony, for his MSc, will take place in the Royal Albert Hall in May 2009. On 17th July 2009 Paul conveyed the thrilling news to us that he had passed his final A ctuarial Paper. Today 24th July 2009 his name was published in the London Times, page 68 stating he is now a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries. Well done Paul! You can relax now and enjoy your profession as a fully qualified A ctuary.

The further breaking news is that our daughter Jannine has been given a conditional offer at St. John's College, Cambridge, to read for a BA Honours degree in Law commencing October 2009. One of the reasons she opted for this College was to follow in the footsteps of her grand Uncle Benedict Ponniah , who was rightly positioned to become the Secretary General of the United Nations. A Queens Scholar, in the same prime league as the renowned Seniors Mr & Mrs Lee Kuan Yew (the first Prime Minister of modern Singapore). The conditions are steep for Jannine , she needs to get a minimum mark of 90% for her A level subjects.

Do browse through and read what delivered Valerie Meilton of all her painful nasty lumps. For when she joined our family she was in harrowing despair.

On Friday, 16th January 1999, we were in Valerie’s house in Claygate, Surrey. At 11-15 pm we were about to leave for London, we went to say goodnight to Valerie’s Mum Vera Meilton .

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.

Remember The Acts of the Apostles.

After all these years I would never have thought that I would have a gracious personal real visible appearance of Jesus, in July 1979, that drastically changed the course and pattern of our lives. I went into my own wilderness experience, moving into deep solitude and meditated constantly on Biblical verses until they metamorphosed into my being. I remember once sitting quietly alone in St James the Great Church, Peckham Rye, London, SE 15, England, on 3rd April 1993. My mind was distracted in wanting to follow my own ambition to pursue a successful banking and financial career. For after all this linkage was imbedded within my DNA.

Profile of BP Nicholas : Our Grandad---One of the first Asian bankers in the history of British Colonial Malaya.

I sensed the voice of Our Heavenly Father ministering and instructing me, “Why don’t you, Anton, pursue my Son Jesus and pursue Him intensely?"  I came back home and took every single banking text book I owned and every paraphernalia relating to my potential career, placing them neatly in a black garbage bag and I threw them away. From then henceforth my challenging spiritual journey commenced. Read what happened to me by pressing this link: What a wilderness experience!

How did two individuals from different continents with contrasting, rigid family backgrounds, join together in Holy Matrimony?

Anton was an orthodox, ultra-conservative, true blue Roman Catholic and a faithful early morning daily communicant. Since the age of 5 family prayer was a daily occurrence.

The Year 2011

Referencing Prophecy 2011

Ephesians, Chapter 3 14-15 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

Our Prayer Foundation is based on this premise: to inter-link the following spiritual truths — a life of being totally aware of the sweet Presence of God the Holy Ghost, study the Word of God diligently and pray in the Holy Spirit, with a ministry of Proclaiming the Kingdom of God in all circumstances and opportunities to save the precious people.

From us, may come forth contemplata tradere : From our meditation, dwelling in the Presence of God “ may we humbly pass on the fruits of meditation and contemplation” that one day, (Please Lord Jesus) we “speak only of Jesus or with Jesus".

The spoken Word of the Lord was forthright and resolute

In the year 1978, a Malaysian businessman told and convinced Anton’s parents not to send him back to London, England to complete his finals. The businessman was going to meet an Assistant General Manager of a top bank in Malaysia to secure a permanent banking job for him. Anton also had no intention of returning back to London. On a Monday morning a few hours before he was going to meet the banking officer, the businessman tragically and shockingly collapsed, fell down and very sadly died. This event triggered Anton to respond to the Word of the Lord urgently and swiftly. The choice was very clear: either to pursue a glowing and a promising financial career in Malaysia, or to follow the way of the cross. Obedience (blessings) is far better than disobedience (curse): and following the cross is far better than being permanently placed in a coffin. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God - Hebrews 10:31. He returned back to London without delay and the ministry of PRAYER was birthed. The next year, July 1979 whilst on a prayer pilgrimage in France, in a noted Prayer Centre, God the Holy Ghost visited Anton when he saw a vision of Jesus and Our Lord affirming His anointing on his life. He then attended a ‘Life in the Spirit’ seminar at Westminster Cathedral, London to learn how the Holy Spirit is renewing Christians all over the world.

BBC Live Broadcast. It has been reported that over a million viewers watched the broadcast. Excellent Reviews. View a YouTube production below.

Imagine this: ( to appreciate why its so unbelievable read this ) the BBC television, came to do a “Live” national broadcast of the Sunday morning service at All Saint’s Church, Peckham on Pentecost Sunday, 23 May 2010. We fellowshipped at All Saints for about 13 years. Follow the link to arouse your interest on how through a Divine intervention we got involved with this church.

 
There was a particular street in Bermondsey, London,where I should not have walked after dark.In a moment of forgetfulness I did so. 13 to 14 young men surrounded me in a semi-circle.They gave me a nasty and vicious look. I could smell the hatred towards me. Filled with fear, my feet were glued to the ground. View what happened next?





There is a double bonus here in that the BBC also recorded two further programmes on two consecutive evenings for 'Songs of Praise.' Local Churches and charities were invited to reveal the life and soul of Peckham. All this happened in a church where a few years ago the bulldozers were coming in to demolish it!!

" There was a specific occasion on 23rd May 2010 when we sensed a sweet overflowing Presence of the Holy Spirit during the live national broadcast of the BBC service. Amazingly without any prompting or prearranged scenario, the highly trained and skilled BBC crew, comprising 5 cameras, caught me during this divinely arranged moment and I was so thankful that I managed to control my tears from pouring forth. View the You Tube production and see whether you can discern the moment on the video when the Presence of the Holy Ghost touched me."



                      

Wedding Anniversary

Anton & Saida's 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!

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.

Early Life

Anton & Saida's wedding reception 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.

Anton & Saida's wedding 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.

Saida as a child 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 onBBC 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: Listen to one here


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

The Nicholas family having high tea at the Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel, Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur

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 press the link below: Before becoming a Pastor, Rev Roy Muttiah actually worked as a Barrister.

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.

We need to plant here without any optional caveats the challenging words of A. W. Tozer, “It is doubtful that God can use anyone greatly until He has hurt him deeply".

Or to paraphrase the famous words of Pastor Charles R. Swindoll, “Before God can use a man He has got to crush him.”

Psalm 51

17) My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.

For over 13 years, her Dad (our family's picture is at the bottom of this page) faithfully prayed and spoke the Word of our Lord aloud (the verses of the bible) every day, together with our daughter Jannine.

Before Jannine left for Cambridge one of the Books of the Bible she read aloud daily with me was the book of Proverbs, a book full of wisdom. We must have covered the book at least 60 times.
