Chacko K Athialy: In the year 1919, during the Maramon Convention in Kerala, Sadhu Sundar Singh spoke about his missionary experiences in Tibet. He especially emphasized how much Nepal needed missionaries. His heartfelt appeal touched many who were present. Among them was Annamma, who was pregnant at that time. As she listened, she silently decided to dedicate her unborn child to God’s service.
In March 1920, she gave birth to her son — Chacko Athialy.

Personal Information

  • Birth: 15-03-1920
  • Home Calling: 18-04-2011
  • Native Place: Kerala
  • Country: India
  • Field of Vision: Nepal & India

During his youth, Athialy joined the Indian freedom movement under the Congress Party, standing against British rule. However, a deep spiritual change came when he attended special meetings in Tiruvallur. There, he committed his whole life to serve God and received ministry training. After that, he began active evangelistic work in the Travancore region, though his heart still longed to go to Nepal one day.

In 1946, when India was shaken by riots, Athialy began his journey to Allahabad and nearly lost his life on the way. But with God’s protection, he reached the city safely and continued sharing the Gospel among students.

Later, in 1948, he went to Yavatmal to study at Union Biblical Seminary. During his time there, he saw God opening the doors for Nepal.
In the summer of 1950, he finally reached Nepal. He had no financial support, no home, and no security, yet he spent Easter day preaching the Gospel on the streets of Kathmandu with faith and courage.

Ministry in Nepal & India

After a short visit to India, he returned to Nepal in 1952 with a few companions. This time he met Bahadur Rana, a Christian who became his close partner in ministry.
In 1953, Athialy started the “Christa Shanta Sangham” church in Bahadur’s home. Through his sincere work, many Nepali people came to faith in Christ, and today the church has grown to thousands of believers.

Even after retiring in 1986, Athialy did not choose a quiet life. Instead, he began working in Chhattisgarh, sharing the Gospel among the Satnami tribes, even though the environment was hostile and difficult.
In his old age, he still carried a bag filled with Gospel tracts and continued to preach wherever he went. At 91 years of age, he peacefully went to be with the Lord after a lifetime of faithful ministry.

Walking in Faith: A Daily Devotion of Praise, Promise, and Power

Each day is a gift from God. Whether it brings joy or challenges, we can choose to walk through it with faith in Jesus. When we start our day with praise, declare God’s promises, meditate on His Word, and seek the gospel truth, our hearts are strengthened and our minds are filled with peace.

Today’s devotion is centered on humility, faith, God’s strength, salvation in Jesus, and a simple prayer to begin your day in His presence.

🙌 Praising Verse

Thank you, Jesus, for teaching me the value of humility.

There is something beautiful about a heart that is humble. Humility is not weakness—it is strength under control. Jesus, our Savior, was the perfect example of humility. Though He is the King of kings, He came to this world as a servant. He washed His disciples’ feet, He sat with sinners, and He walked with the broken.

When we say, “Thank you, Jesus, for teaching me the value of humility,” we are not just expressing gratitude—we are also committing to follow His example.

Humility helps us listen more, love deeper, and serve others with joy. It removes pride from our hearts and allows God to lift us up in His perfect time.

Let this be your praise today:
“Lord, I don’t want to think too highly of myself. I want to walk in Your footsteps, showing kindness, grace, and compassion. Thank You for showing me how.”

🛡️ Faith Confession

No weapon formed against me shall prosper. – Isaiah 54:17

Life is not always easy. There are spiritual battles, emotional struggles, and real enemies of faith that try to discourage us. But God gives us a powerful promise in Isaiah 54:17: No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Notice what the verse says—it doesn’t say the weapon will never form. It says it won’t prosper.

You may feel pressure or face attacks—at work, in your home, or even in your thoughts—but they will not succeed. Why? Because God is with you.

When you make this confession daily, you are declaring:

  • I belong to Jesus.
  • I am covered by His blood.
  • I have victory, not defeat.
  • I stand in faith, not fear.

Let this confession rise in your heart today:
“Even if I face storms, I will not sink. Even if I walk through fire, I will not burn. No weapon—spiritual, emotional, physical, or mental—will destroy me. Jesus is my defender.”

📖 Daily Bible Verse

Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble [He is near when we need Him].”

This verse is a beautiful reminder that we are never alone. God is not far away. He is not silent in times of trouble. He is near. He is ready. He is present.

Think of a strong tower that cannot be broken—that’s your God. Think of a mighty hand that lifts you up—that’s your God. Think of a quiet whisper that brings peace—that’s your God.

God is our refuge – He is our safe place.
God is our strength – He gives us the power to move forward.
God is present – He’s not distant. He is with us in every moment.

Have you ever faced a day when you felt weak? Maybe you’re facing one now. Let this verse fill your heart with hope. Say it out loud. Write it on a note. Carry it in your heart.

When trouble comes, don’t run in fear—run to your refuge.

✝️ Gospel Verse

Acts 4:12 – “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

This verse is the foundation of our faith. There is only one name that can save us—the name of Jesus. He is not one way among many. He is the Way.

In today’s world, people search for peace in many places—in success, relationships, money, or even religion. But salvation is not found in efforts. It is found in grace. And that grace is only available through Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12 is a bold truth. It reminds us that Jesus is not just a good teacher or a kind prophet—He is the Savior of the world.

His name has power. His name brings healing. His name brings life.

If someone asks you, “What’s the way to God?”—you can say confidently, “It’s Jesus.”

Let this gospel truth sink deep into your heart:
“There is no other way to be saved. Only Jesus can give me eternal life. Only Jesus can wash away my sins. I believe in His name, and I live for Him.”

🙏 Prayer

My Lord Jesus, I surrender this day to You. Strengthen my faith, protect my heart, and lead me in Your truth.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

Prayer doesn’t have to be long or complicated. It just needs to be honest. When you begin your day with surrender, you give God space to lead you, bless you, and strengthen you.

In this short prayer, we ask three important things:

  • Strengthen my faith – because sometimes doubts come.
  • Protect my heart – because the world can be harsh.
  • Lead me in Your truth – because we want to walk in God’s will, not our own.

When you pray this prayer each morning, you place yourself under God’s loving care. You’re not walking alone. You’re walking with Jesus.

Take a moment now. Close your eyes. Breathe slowly. Pray from your heart:

“Jesus, I give You this day. My thoughts, my plans, my worries, my hopes—I place them all in Your hands. Lead me, Lord. Keep me strong. I trust You completely.”

💬 Reflection for Today

  • How can I show humility in my words and actions today?
  • In what areas do I need to declare “No weapon formed against me shall prosper”?
  • Do I truly believe that God is my refuge and strength?
  • Am I ready to boldly say, “Jesus is the only way” to those around me?
  • Have I fully surrendered this day to the Lord?

You don’t have to be perfect to walk in faith. You just need to walk with Jesus—step by step, prayer by prayer, verse by verse.
