Messages by K.P. Yohannan
K.P. Yohannan speaks to you through thought-provoking and challenging messages taken straight from his teachings and books, which have been an inspiration to thousands of audiences around the world.
A Mighty Minority
God isn’t looking for the best of the best, or those most qualified to get things done, He is looking for the few who will follow Him at any cost. He is looking for the mighty minority.
A Mother's Influence
Dr. K.P. Yohannan has a very special Mother's Day message to share with us about a mother’s influence. He will speak from Scripture and experience and tell us how his own mother was greatly used by God to influence his life.
A Passion to Know Him, Part 1
In John 6, Jesus was hungry, weary, and tired, yet He was so moved by the poor, broken and needy that His physical needs no longer mattered. His mind was never on Himself; it was on others. Jesus gave us a beautiful example of how we are supposed to think and live.
A Passion to Know Him, Part 2
K.P. Yohannan continues his message asking us to live fully devoted to Christ.
Authentic Christianity
In his message Authentic Christianity, K.P. Yohannan encourages us to be fully committed to Christ throwing off all that hinders us.
Authentic Missions, Part One
What is authentic missions? It’s not as complicated as you might think. All throughout the New Testament, we see the way Jesus lived. He didn’t choose the most important, the smartest or the best people to be His disciples. Instead, He chose the simple.
“It’s amazing how simple, how touchable it is—the plan of God.”
—K.P. Yohannan
“It’s amazing how simple, how touchable it is—the plan of God.”
—K.P. Yohannan
Authentic Missions, Part Two
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
—2 Corinthians 4:17
In talking about authentic missions, K.P. Yohannan shares this verse. But what does it mean, these “light afflictions”? With the reality of pain in our lives and all around us, K.P. Yohannan encourages us to look beyond our circumstances and remember what God has promised in the end.

Avoiding Cynicism, Part 1
In this message, K.P. Yohannan warns us to avoid getting so familiar with the blessings of God that we begin to take them for granted. We need to remain trusting the Lord, knowing He is all we have.
Avoiding Cynicism, Part 2
K.P. Yohannan continues part 2 of his message and encourages us to realize how desperate we are for Christ and that we are to be consistently growing in Him; not being stagnant.
Avoiding Cynicism, Part 3
In the last part of his message, K.P. explains the importance of unity in the Body of Christ.
Basic Christianity
K.P. Yohannan challenges us to not base everything on knowing things, but knowing Him.
Being a Blessing to Others
The conclusion to feeling better is to bless others and take our minds off of ourselves. Open up your life and be a blessing to others. As God directs our hearts we will be surprised how He uses it. Start thinking of how we can bless others. Make a list of names with all the people you have difficulty with and ask yourself, “is there any good about them?” Allow the Holy Spirit to work in you, and bless them.
Bitterness, Hebrews 12:15
Bitterness is defined as: a deep seeded anger, hatred, resentment towards someone or something that may have mistreated us; taken away our rights whether real or unreal. It is an emotional response to unresolved conflicts. Not handling the pain/resentment biblically causes the seed of bitterness to take root and grow. Are you living with bitterness?
Breakthrough, Part 1
Listen as K.P. Yohannan encourages us to break through ourselves and our logical understanding of life and look at life through Jesus’s eyes.
Breakthrough, Part 2
In part 2 of his message we are taught to let our hearts response to Jesus be mere love because of the love He first showed us.
Called to Discipleship, Part 1
K.P. Yohannan challenges us to be true worshippers with our hearts and not surface ones concerned about all the theology and ‘good acts.’
Called to Discipleship, Part 2
K.P. Yohannan continues part 2 of his message, calling us to sacrifice ourselves and follow Jesus with all our hearts.
Called to Discipleship, Part 3
During the last part of his message, we are challenged to be true disciples and ambassadors for his Kingdom.
Choose to Serve, Part One
We are called to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. Going into the nations and making disciples. Jesus came to serve, not be served—so what should we be doing? Everything we do, as believers, should be out of an eagerness to serve the Lord---not out of guilt or to be religious. We should have passion behind what we do for the Lord. We live in a fallen world and as believers how can we expect to know Him if we live selfishly? We need to share the hope that only He can give with others---it is meant for everyone, not just us.
Choose to Serve, Part Two
In this message, K.P Yohannan continues to talk about our mission to serve; to reach out to the lost children and tell them about Jesus. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10) This is what we are called to do.
Christmas and Christ’s Sacrifice
K.P. Yohannan shares from John 1:14 in this devotional on the meaning of Christmas. He says, “The mystery of godliness is great, that He became flesh. And that is the uniqueness of Christmas. The God who was distant and separated . . . finally we can approach Him. We have seen His glory!”
Christmas Critter Campaign
K.P. Yohannan encourages us to think in the light of eternity. There is a world out there literally dying having yet to hear the Good News.
Christ's Call - Full Length mp3
Christ's Call: Follow My Footsteps is a call to higher commitment. In this 41-minute message, K.P. Yohannan challenges us to follow in Christ's footsteps--steps that will deliver us from our self-centredness and cause us to impact the lost millions in our generation.
Christ's Call, Part One
This message by K.P. Yohannan share’s that “it’s not about me”. We are called to live for Christ. There are too many people in the world who are lost, starving, and have no idea who Jesus is. Let’s do what Jesus did and reach out to the lowest of low.
Christ's Call, Part Two
A continuation of K.P. Yohannan’s passion for the lost. As a Christian, we need to step up to the plate do what Christ has called us to do. Go and make disciples of all the nations, whether out on the field or giving towards missions. Let’s step up to the plate and reach this world.
Clothed in Humility, Part One
Humility has nothing to do with our outside appearance. Many people think humility is looking sad, being last all the time, or walking around with a ‘woe is me’ attitude. K.P. Yohannan says that God looks at our attitude and heart condition – it’s an inward thing. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. We need to clothe ourselves with His humility and consider others better than ourselves. Remaining humble and broken is key.
Clothed in Humility, Part Two
In part two, K.P. asks us, "What is the ultimate proof of our humility?"
Come Up Higher, Part 1
K.P. Yohannan teaches us to wait upon the Lord and not let business take over our lives, that we forget Him.
Come Up Higher, Part 2
In part 2 of his message, K.P. Yohannan continues his teaching to embrace the very many trials that come your way because Jesus did, and we are to live like Him.
Cry of the Unreached
If Hell is not real then God and the Bible are not either. If Hell is eternal so is heaven and those who do not know Jesus Christ will spend their eternity in hell. They will be tortured for all of eternity but they will never die. Does this bother us? As believers what are we doing to help those who do not know the good news of Christ?

Dependence Upon the Lord
In this message by K.P Yohannan, he shares the need to be constantly humble. He says “the more someone is naturally gifted is the more he or she must go through death to self and pride.” The Lord doesn’t care about our positions or how great we are at something; He cares about our hearts. Do we do things as to the Lord, or because we’re good at it? Christ came so humble and that is exactly what we need to do. Walk in humility all the time, and depend on the Lord through every circumstance – good or bad.
Discipleship—An All-out Commitment, Part 1
K.P Yohannan challenges us with the fact that this life is not meant for us! Blood was the price He paid for my life… therefore it is His. The Lord has given us a higher calling for our lives so that by our lives and commitment to Him we can win souls to Christ. Having a supreme love for the Lord is key – above all else; all the distractions in this world, friends, and family He needs to be number one. He showed the perfect example of what true genuine love is, why can’t we do that for him?
Discipleship—An All-out Commitment, Part 2
All trials and sufferings are so light compared to the glory that is to be revealed. It seems foreign to us; we cannot understand it with our human minds, but scripture says our minds cannot understand the things of God. We are to trust Him in His word and obey His commands that tell us to go and make disciples of the nations!
Discouragement
We live in a world where people often don’t show their appreciation for anything we do for them. Through these experiences we can understand what Christ went through; very few times did He get recognized for anything He did. There are many reasons like this for discouragement, but Jesus promises that He will be with us until the end of the age. When we do mess up, we should repent right away and move forward, not dwelling on the past. He is always faithful.
Do We Really Believe What We Say We Believe
John says if we love Jesus we will obey His commands, but are we willing to do that? He tells us to love and serve each other; do we? Or do we get so caught up in ourselves that it doesn't break our hearts that there are billions who have never heard of Jesus? Jesus sacrificed Himself for us. What we can do though is show Him how much we love Him in our everyday life, by obeying, listening, and doing what His Word tells us to do.
Encouraged by Jesus, Part 1
“You must not build the foundation while the storm hits, you must build it before.” K.P. encouraged us with this word of advice. As His followers we need to be consistently allowing the Word of God to fill our hearts and be a rock for us in good times and bad.
Encouraged by Jesus, Part 2
“Whatever the Lord gives to you, give it away. You want to be blessed, bless others.” -K.P Yohannan, in this message, K.P. Yohannan encourages us to trust God and stand on His promises that He gives us in His word.
From Self Centered to God Centered
We have a problem with Christianity today – the focus is not on others and the work of the Lord but it is on ourselves. K.P. Yohannan challenges us with this question: “What does it mean to be like Jesus?” How many of us will actually take time and intercede for the nations? Weep over the unreached world and seek to do something to help aide in the Gospel being preached? How many of us will take a day or two and fast and pray for the lost? Like the scriptures say, we are to come and follow Jesus, live like Him and what He lived for.
Hope for the Hurting
There are 160 million child laborers in India. Consider one thing, John 3:16 – He loved the world not just the United States; we need to take that into consideration and realize we are obligated to help them. We represent the body of Christ, what did He do when He was down here on earth?
Invest Your Life in the Harvest, Part One
As Christians, what are we supposed to be doing? Listen to these two messages about investing in the harvest. When we are out doing the work that Christ has called us to do, we impact the lives of others. It may not seem like we are doing anything at the time – but our home is not here on earth. Jesus said live for things that will not perish. God is eternal, so live for Him.
Invest Your Life in the Harvest, Part Two
Live for Christ, and there will be lasting fruit. Trust Him with your time and you won’t be disappointed.
It Starts with Loving Him, Part 1
K.P. Yohannan encourages us to look to Jesus and let Him be our everything-not the cares of this world or all the distractions in it.
It Starts with Loving Him, Part 2
K.P. Yohannan continues his message on loving and living for the Lord.
Jesus' Heart for the Lost World
What hinders us from becoming radical and having a dedicated committed heart for the Lord? K.P. Yohannan says it’s the simple fact that we are just consumed with ourselves. Jesus came here knowing He was going to die. That shows how we need to embrace our sufferings. It’s not about dying and being beaten, it’s about our heart. Are we willing to die or be persecuted for our Lord? Are we willing to do anything for Him?
Just Following Jesus, Part 1
K.P. Yohannan tells us that we have lost the God of the New Testament. We make everything complicated and full of doctrines, instead of just following the Lord and allowing Him to lead and guide us. God is looking to use a mighty minority and to show Himself strong!
Just Following Jesus, Part 2
God is not looking for perfect people who know every answer, but honest simple people He can show Himself mighty on their behalf is what K.P. Yohannan tells us. The safest thing in the entire world is just to follow Him and learn more of Him. The key to all we dream about is Jesus.
Just Following Jesus, Part 3
Jesus came to seek and save the lost, is that our agenda? In the west, we have 14 different Christian radio programs, churches on every street corner, and so many copies of the bible! What more do we possible need, when HALF the world has none of these things. It is one thing to maintain our convictions; it’s another thing to actually act on them.
Knowing Jesus as Lord
K.P. Yohannan says, “The more you want to become like Him the more the cross becomes tangible and painful.” Through accepting the pain and suffering we become more like Him. Jesus Christ is calling for no less of a commitment than what He had with His Father. Jesus’ life was based on prayer, fasting, and being in constant communion with The Father, ours should be too.
Live a Real Life
Christ is looking for disciples who are willing to commit their lives to Him. What’s important in this life?
Love of God, Part 1
K.P Yohannan shares with us the reality of Gods love. Have you ever thought of the fact that God loves YOU. He gave Himself for you, shouldn’t it make us wonder who this God is? We are encouraged to get alone and think about this marvelous love that was bestowed upon us. He took our sins and laid them upon Himself. He did not condemn us and He does not regret what He did. How can we not accept this perfect agape love? How can we forget?
Love of God, Part 2
K.P. Yohannan challenges us with a question, where are you in your walk with the Lord? What is our daily response to this amazing, unending, perfect love? Will we choose to accept Him and quit rejecting Him so we can have this beautiful intimacy with Jesus? For those of us who have been walking with the Lord for quite some time, do we live in light of His perfect love, or are we forgetting and going our own ways?
My Name is Jacob
Our Christian walk is like being in a classroom everyday. It take humility to realize that we are always learning, and that His grace is sufficient when we fail, despite the circumstances we find ourselves in.
No Regrets
Making the decision to follow after Christ is a daily thing, not saying a prayer one time and that is it; it is much more than that. Nothing is easy, we need to choose to do whatever it takes for the sake of reaching the lost. You as a follower of Christ, you cannot have an intimate relationship with the Creator if you have a self-centered life that only revolves around you.
Power of Prayer
The biggest crisis in the average church today is lack of knowing the living God. Not many know God because they don’t spend time in prayer getting to know Him, and actually listening for His voice. We will never know Him or His ways until we get away from all the noise and seek Him. “The most significant thing in life is to seek God and know Him.” –K.P. Yohannan.
Seek Only God's Approval, Part One
True Christianity is lived out by being fully committed to living for Jesus. Mere Bible knowledge is not going to make you know Him, but saying good bye to our comforts and sacrificing our time and life for Him will help us to know Him.
Seek Only God's Approval, Part Two
Our prayer to Jesus should be “Lord set me free from myself.” We are our own worst enemy. The devil is out there, yes, but sometimes we blame him for everything when in reality it’s us who are the problem! Choosing inconveniences, difficulties, and the rough road because we love Him is such a wonderful thing to do. The more we come to know Jesus, it should be our fuel to do and tell others who do not know the Lord about Him-His love is that great!
Take up Your Cross, Part 1
He was the one who came down for heaven and gave us the perfect example of how we are to live! His word says HE seeks for a man to stand in the gap.
Take up Your Cross, Part 2
Unless we experience holiness in everything we do we will never see and hear from the Lord of glory. The Father says that as He sent his Son Jesus so He also sends us – His disciples. A few applications are given to us that will help us and encourage us to live for eternity and forsake the love of ourselves and this world. We can impact eternity right where we are at…so will we?
The Attitude of Christian Leaders
This message depicts the need to live in the Spirit and not in the flesh as you are serving in leadership. By continuing to serve the Lord and submitting yourself to Him, you will adopt the attitude needed as a leader.
The Fear of the Lord, Part One
When we obey the Lord, we become friends of the God of the Universe. Stop and think about that. God does not owe us an explanation. We listen because He is the Lord and we fear Him. It is not knowledge that changes things, but a radical lifestyle. By taking the focus off ourselves we draw closer to the Lord and have a joy that surpasses all understanding.
The Fear of the Lord, Part Two
Do you talk too much and not put it action? As we walk fully devoted to Christ, our children will follow and walk with us. Not by forcing our values on them, but Christ will open their eyes if we are really following His ways. His ways are in His Word. We are to seek Him in every decision we make. What is holding you back from the commitment to follow Christ with all your heart? Surrender it all, making your life so much more joyful. This life is temporary and nothing compared to where you will spend eternity.
The Higher Call of Christ, Part One
K.P. Yohannan mentions in this sermon that self-centeredness will lead to destruction.
The Higher Call of Christ, Part Two
K.P. continues his radical message on living out the Word of God and fulfilling the great Commission.
The Impact One Life Can Have, Part One
It’s amazing what the Lord can do through us! He chose to use us to bring the lost to Him- what a privilege we have for the Lord to use us.
The Impact One Life Can Have, Part Three
The story of the woman who impacted K.P.'s life-and thousands through him-will challenge and inspire you in part three of this message.
The Impact One Life Can Have, Part Two
In part two of this message, K.P. discusses the things God has given you to impact the world.
The Lord's Work Done the Lord's Way, Part One
God is looking for those who are willing to commit themselves completely to Him. Anyone, even those in ministry, can ‘miss’ Christ because they aren’t depending on Him. Everything we do must be in dependence on the Lord. We need the Holy Spirit He has given us. It is more than necessary in the Christian walk.
The Lord's Work Done the Lord's Way, Part Two
We are supposed to do everything as if unto the Lord. When you are cleaning your bathroom, cooking dinner or doing assignments, do you actually do it as if you were cleaning the Lord’s bathroom or making dinner for Him? Half of us don’t.
The Most Important Thing in Life, Part 1
The Only thing that matters is Jesus Himself and He wants to be the most important thing in our lives. Ps 73:25 says ‘Whom have I in heaven, but you and I desire nothing on earth but you?” He needs to be our everything because He is everything.
The Most Important Thing in Life, Part 2
We need to be willing to forsake all for the sake of Christ. Yes it is not easy, but in His word it says that the JOY of the Lord is our strength. We have to stop comparing our lives with someone else, and compare our lives to the One who lived the most perfect example for us.
The Principle of Faith, Part 1
For us to experience the supernatural intervention of God, such as answers to prayer we must have faith. The amount of Bible knowledge will not help us, we need the faith to believe God is able and He needs to be our confidence. If we can comprehend everything and can do things in our own strength, there is no need to have faith and rely on God. God wants to do more but we must believe.
To Live is Christ - Full Length mp3
Feel the passion of K.P. Yohannan as he describes the life-giving power of total commitment to Christ. Be encouraged and amazed by real life stories of missionaries who willingly risk their lives to preach the Gospel. God can and wants to use our lives in similar, mighty ways if we will find our life by giving it away.
To Live is Christ, Part One
“My own self-centeredness is what hinders me from doing what Jesus has called me to do.” –K.P. Yohannan.
To Live is Christ, Part Two
Continuing his message, "To Live is Christ," K.P. uncovers reasons that so many of us struggle with sin, and miss the abundant life Jesus promises.
Touch of Love - Full Length mp3
This message by K.P. Yohannan expresses the great need we have to demonstrate our love for the Lord by helping children in need throughout Asia.
“I want to do unto others not out of guilt or shame but because I love my Lord. How can I say I love someone with my words yet show no action of love?? In 1 John 3:18 Jesus says “Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions” (NLT) I pray that what K.P. says, hits your heart the way it did mine.”
True Discipleship
We are living in a culture that tells us it’s all about our health, wealth, comfort, and family. Jesus said “if anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, and pick up his cross and follow me.” It is not about us and our comforts. The Gospel is not self-centered it’s Jesus-centered, and this is what we need to be.
What Distracts Us
The Devil is going to try to do everything possible to wear us out until we simply want to give up and step out of this battle. We cannot make the mistake and forget that Jesus faced the same temptation, but He endured and we should too because we are to follow His example.
When We Have Failed, Part One
“For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ.” - Phil 2:21. Keep in mind, the Lord is calling us for radical commitment. There is a hindrance in us that keeps us from following God—that is we put our trust and hope merely in man, not Christ. Man will in some way disappoint us, but the Lord never will. We need to put our all in the One who is trustworthy and will never leave nor forsake us.
When We Have Failed, Part Two
You choose the rough road, hardships, and uncomfortable situations because…you love Him. The more we come to know Jesus, the more our hearts bleed for those who don’t know him. How can we keep this joy to ourselves?
Where Do You Go With a Broken Heart?
Sometimes it feels like the pain won’t go away no matter how many prayers are uttered or encouraging words are spoken to us. How can we end the pain? The Lord heals the broken hearted. “I, Jesus, the King of Kings, am here suffering with you. Praise my name because I am faithful to my promises. Don’t forget who I Am and what I did for you.” – K.P. Yohannan
Which Road Will You Travel On
Brother K.P. Yohannan talks about making an eternal difference and taking any opportunity to share and show Christ’s love. Jesus was full of compassion when He saw children suffering and people with nothing – so should we. Let us be quick to obey what Jesus has commanded us to do… care for the destitute, poor, and needy so that we may hear His words “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
Words of Wisdom, Part One
What good is all the wisdom of the Bible if you don’t act on it? “I don’t care what I do; I just want to be a part of what God is doing,” said a professor who dedicated his life to the Lord. The more we become like Jesus the more the cross becomes real to us, and we walk away from the things of the world for the redemption of the world. Don’t you want to hear from the God who created you and formed you with purpose?
Words of Wisdom, Part Two
Jesus was a missionary, ministering wherever He was. Children see their parents living out the gospel through fasting, praying and seeking the Lord’s will. In turn, those children will begin to follow Christ like their parents. Life is short, live according to His will and be like Jesus – a missionary and an example.
