Amen to God's Faithful Words

This new year has brought new things in many ways. Spiritually, the Lord has promised me with His faithful word of increase, fruitfulness, and multiplication. Since then, my prayer for increase has been intensified. In fact, I shared this faithful words of the Lord with some brothers and pray-read these verses. I shared the same to a group of serving ones in Chennai as I visited them on my literature journey. Today, as I visited my spiritual and local guardian when I was a student in MCC twenty five years ago, I shared the same words of the Lord. They were very much encouraged and received it as the Lord’s speaking and promise for them too. The verses are the very verse the Lord gave me on the 2nd of January 2026 which I shared with a few others.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today (Received and Shared on 2nd Jan 2026)

For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be tilled and sown; And I will multiply people upon you, the entire house of Israel, all of it! The cities will also be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. I will also multiply upon you man and beast, and they will increase and be fruitful, and I will make you inhabited as you were formerly, and I will make it better for you than when you began. Then you will know that I am Jehovah. 

(Ezekiel 36:9-11, RecVer)

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them;

I will increase them with men like a flock.

(Ezekiel 36:37, RecVer)

On the practical and physical realm too, God has given me a burden to pray for our own housing in Gurugram. All these twenty years, we have been living in rented houses. I believe, the time has come now to have a house of our own. The visit of our house owner recently and his request for rental increase has ignited the need for our own housing. I took whatever transpired as the Lord’s doing and picked up another burden to pray for, for our own housing, with the view that it will be useful for the literature service, and for the church meeting place. The specific speaking of the Lord for this house that I and my family started praying for is, to be useful in the following way.

That the literature service can run in peace.

That the church can meet in fruitfulness.

That the family can live in joy. 

Besides, the Lord further gave me His faithful words in which He promised to fulfill this at the proper time. He also indicated that He would give two young brothers as my spiritual children and two elderly brothers whom I should shepherd like I would shepherd my own parent. Yes, two spiritual younger brothers and two spiritual elder brothers. I amen His words. May His words be fulfilled in time.

Even as I was reading the book of Genesis, the written words have become so living that I could see God's speaking through the verses I have read. From the lives of Noah, the years he lived; Abraham and Sarah, the possibility of the impossible at the time of the year; and Isaac, the Lord’s provisions.

For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. (2 Corinthians 1:20, RecVer)

Amen to God’s faithful words!

Be Perfect?! In Love

You therefore shall be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48, RecVer)

No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12, RecVer)

And we know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him. In this has love been perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment because even as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear has punishment, and he who fears has not been perfected in love. (1 John 4:16-18, RecVer)

God is perfect! As Christians, God is our heavenly Father possessing His divine life and divine nature. As chidren of God, we can be perfect because our heavenly Father is perfect. What a miracle! What a mystery! What a possible impossibility! To be perfect as our heavenly Father is, is to be perfected in His divine love.

He who does not love has not known God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8, RecVer)

And we know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him. (1 John 4:16, RecVer)

God is love. Love is the essence of God’s divine nature. Having received His life, we also have His love. By abiding in His love, exercising to love God and love one another, we can be perfected in His love. 

God's love is already perfect. However, the perfected love of God must be perfected in us by loving God and loving whom God loves. This love is of the divine life which we received during our spiritual birth and which we now possess. By this divine love, we are becoming love. In fact, His divine love is being perfected in us, love itself. Thereby, His divine love mingling with our human love perfected by His divine love, makes us one in His love. The issue of such divine mingling is, God and man, God and us, becoming one and being perfected in His love!

The word "perfected" in 1 John 4:17 in Greek means teleioo, which means "to accomplish, to finish, to complete." God is accomplishing His divine love in us. This will result in our boldness to contact God in fellowship with Him and to face the judgment at the judgment seat of Christ. By loving the brothers with the love of God, we will be bold and would have no fear before God. 

I enjoyed this truth concerning God's divine love. In fact, this was my sharing portion yesterday at the Lord’s Day prophesying meeting in the church in Chennai and also my sharing portion in Delhi at the serving one's training. This truth has gradually become my experience, and yes, it will be perfected in me one day!

Father, perfect me as Thou art!

Father, perfect me in Thy love.

Bible Reading: Fiftieth Time

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman, cutting straight the word of the truth. (2 Timothy 2:15, RecVer)

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalms 119:105 

On the 10th of January 2026, the Lord graced me to complete read my Bible for the fiftieth time. This transpired while in a train journey from Bengaluru to Chennai. As I completed my fiftieth time of reading the Bible, I thanked and worshipped the Lord for His special grace. Personally, it was a joyful day indeed. Following this, a passenger next to me started conversing with me that led me to preach the gospel to him. Later, after I arrived Chennai, I boarded a Uber Cab to the hospitality home. I made friend with the cab driver, preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to him, led him to call on the Lord, and finally introduced him to the local brother when I reached my destination. This was my first gospel preaching for this new year.

Trusting in God’s grace, I have a goal of reading through the Bible at least a hundred times in my lifetime, if the Lord wills so. This is my personal goal, and it gives me immense joy to be able to read and read the word of God. I do trust the Lord that He will grant me my heart's desire to read and read and read His words. And along with the reading, He may also speak to me and enlighten me as He did so many times as I was reading His words. In fact, all that He need to speak to man were already spoken and recorded as the Bible. The need of the time is to diligently spend time to read His word day by day. This is man's responsibility. He will do the speaking and give the enlightenedment. Therefore, I exercise myself to be diligent in coming to His word and cut straight the word of the truth.

Like Timothy, I have been graced to know the sacred writings even from my early age. What a mercy! Thanks to my grandfather who taught me to read the Bible since my childhood. What a great blessing it has been to me to have learned this lesson of reading the Bible! And I am passing on this lesson to my own children, to my spiritual children, and also to all the young ones and the believers the Lord has brought to me, time to time.

And that from a babe you have known the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, That the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, RecVer)

To me, the only book worth reading again and again is the Bible. To me, the only time that must be spent at any cost is to read the Bible even if it means doing it as a habit. Let it be a habit and be a part of my life. I reckon this is a good habit. God forbid, if I say that reading the Bible and prayer are the only things that must be done every day at all costs, even at the sacrifice of other things.

My prayer has been that the Lord would grace me day by day to be able to read the Bible with good eyesight; with a renewed mind filled with the shining of the divine light, sight, vision, and revelation; and a strong spirit to absorb the word as spiritual nourishment. And that, no matter what my circumstances may be, the Lord may grace me with the reading of the Bible and prayer day by day. I cannot think of a life without the word of God and prayer. They have become a part and parcel of my life. I have been married to the word of God and prayer. I can't help but keep reading the Bible and praying. And it has been my joy and enjoyment day by day. I can sacrifice anything else in the world, but not my time with the Lord in prayer and the word of God. 

I pray that all my children, family members, saints in the church life, and all the children of God should love the word of God and read it to be constituted with it, and be a man of prayer to the extent that we all be "living Bibles" and "talking Bibles" for others to see and read the Bible. 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. Col. 3:16

Though I have read the Bible a half-century times, I still have miles to go before I complete a century. As I begin again my fifty-first journey, the Lord may grace me and lead me on and on, till I reach the goal.

May the Lord grace me with the taste and enjoyment of His word that I may read and eat the word of God every day, all the days of my life.

Special Lord's Day

Today's Lord’s Day meeting was the first for the year 2026. The saints in Mathura were with us and we enjoyed a special time of meeting, blending, and fellowship together. The Lord’s speaking today was again on the matter of our prayer life, living a secret life before the Father, and continue to have a direct and intimate fellowship with the Lord day by day. For this, the burden released was on, setting time for personal prayer everyday, at least an hour, and also setting a place where one can daily spend time in prayer. With this burden for prayer, the Lord set the stage for us to live this year 2026, a life of the kingdom, bridging the gap between the plan of God in Genesis till its fulfillment in Revelation. 

Today, we had a special lovefeast for a brother's family who had shifted to New Delhi. Following this, we had a special time of fellowship for the brother's family members to share whatever the Lord led them to the church concerning their experiences while they served the saints in the local church for fifteen years. It was not a farewell meeting as we will be meeting soon, and over and over again, but a special time of fellowship in brotherly love; receiving and supplying one another as members of the Body of Christ. We are all in the one Body of Christ. As members, we follow the Lord’s leading in our services under His sovereignty, all for the building up of the Body.

As brothers in the church, we had fellowshipped about the matter and did our best to the family shifting out to another city. We stood in oneness with the Lord’s move and did all that we could in prayer, offering, and in arranging special lovefeast and fellowship for the family. Our prayers are with the family, that the Lord may continue to bless them and make them useful vessels in His economy. 

In the evening, my family had the honor and privilege to take out the family and a visiting sister for a time of lovefeast dinner at Double Tree, Sector 56. To me, this was the best I could offer, and I did so with much joy. No matter the price, it was about the honor and love I had a way to express towards the family. Even in small thing like this, the inner peace and joy from the Lord is what I treasure the most. It was indeed a blessd time of blending over lovefeast. It was indeed a memorable night for all of us, especially, our children. 

What a blessed special Lord’s Day to begin the year with! 

May the Lord continue to bless the churches in New Delhi, Mathura, and Gurugram.

Beginning in Hindi

 Today, the Lord gave us a new beginning as we had our first brothers' fellowship of the new year 2026. Our prayers, morning revival, and fellowship all began in Hindi and ended with Hindi. Since I first came to Gurugram in 2005, I have been serving in this city for the Lord's testimony. At least after twenty years of living and serving in Gurugram, the Lord led me to manage Hindi language, though I am still yet to be more fluent in spiritual terms. Finally, I could make it in Hindi. In fact, yesterday I had the feeling to fellowship with a brother who was visiting us from Mathura, to stay back with us for two more days to attend the Lord's table meeting in Gurugram, as they have not been able to meet in Mathura due to the persecution going on there. After consideration, he obliged to my request and the entire fourteen saints stayed back. Today, they enjoyed their day in indoor and outdoor blending, and they all joined the prayer meeting of the church in Gurugram. Later on, they all helped in preparing for tomorrow's love-feast, on the Lord's day. The saints from Mathura are all Hindi-speaking saints. Their staying back was a great boost to us in our exercise of speaking and praying in Hindi.

In our brother's fellowship, everything was in Hindi because we care for a Hindi-speaking brother, and at the same time, the Lord used his presence for us to pray and fellowship in Hindi. In our prayer, morning revival, and fellowship, I also used only Hidni for the first time. Though I could do without it, I chose to speak in Hindi henceforth, for the sake of the Lord's move among the local saints..

After we fellowship all the practical points in Hindi, we also had time of prayer-reading the Bible verses the Lord gave me for the church and for myself for this year, the following Bible verses in Ezekiel 34:26, 27; 36:9-11, 37

और मैं उन्हें और अपनी पहाड़ी के आस पास के स्थानों को आशीष का कारण बना दूंगा; और मेंह को मैं ठीक समय में बरसाया करूंगा; और वे आशीषों की वर्षा होंगी।

यहेजकेल 34:26

और मैदान के वृक्ष फलेंगे और भूमि अपनी उपज उपजाएगी, और वे अपने देश में निडर रहेंगे; जब मैं उनके जूए को तोड़ कर उन लोगों के हाथ से छुड़ाऊंगा, जो उन से सेवा कराते हैं, तब वे जान लेंगे कि मैं यहोवा हूँ।

यहेजकेल 34:27

और देखो, मैं तुम्हारे पक्ष में हूँ, और तुम्हारी ओर कृपादृष्टि करूंगा, और तुम जोते-बोए जाओगे;

यहेजकेल 36:9

और मैं तुम पर बहुत मनुष्य अर्थात इस्राएल के सारे घराने को बसाऊंगा; और नगर फिर बसाए और खण्डहर फिर बनाएं जाएंगे।

यहेजकेल 36:10

और मैं तुम पर मनुष्य और पशु दोनों को बहुत बढ़ाऊंगा; और वे बढ़ेंगे और फूलें-फलेंगे; और मैं तुम को प्राचीनकाल की नाईं बसाऊंगा, और पहिले से अधिक तुम्हारी भलाई करूंगा। तब तुम जान लोगे कि मैं यहोवा हूँ।

यहेजकेल 36:11

परमेश्वर यहोवा यों कहता है, इस्राएल के घराने में फिर मुझ से बिनती की जाएगी कि मैं उनके लिये यह करूं; अर्थात मैं उन में मनुष्यों की गिनती भेड़-बकरियों की नाईं बढ़ाऊं।

यहेजकेल 36:37

In the afternoon, our church prayer meeting was also conducted fully in Hindi, although a few saints prayed in English. All the burdens were released in Hindi, and the prayers were offered mostly in Hindi. I myself had the grace to exercise my Hindi in all my prayers to the Lord. 

Later, in the evening, we had a home meeting with a brother's family. That meeting too was fully conducted in Hindi. The Lord was so sovereign that the message we pursued was on God's Economy. We pursued the message in Hindi. Though I wanted more of the Hindi-speaking saints to share more, a sister asked a question on Genesis 3:24 to me from what I ministered a few weeks ago. In answering her question, I covered the entire God's economy, the creation of man, the fall of man, the redemption of the fallen man through the redemption accomplished by Christ on the cross, and how God is accomplishing His divine economy through the redeemed men on earth.

Today, the first brother's fellowship of the year, the first prayer meeting of the church, and the first home meeting of the year all began in Hindi. May the Lord fulfill His divine purposes and promise to the church.

God's Faithful Word

The faithful God has spoken His faithful word at the beginning of this new year, 2026. God has a way to speak to His children at the proper time. When He speaks, we must pay heed to it with utmost attention and believe firmly in the spoken word of God. God's word never fails. For the past two decades, we have been struggling with the increase in the number of saints meeting as the church here in Gurugram. thesis time, the Lord's speaking has become very clear from the beginning of the year. It was no coincidence that such verses of God's speaking became my daily Bible reading portion. In fact, I thought of completing my Bible reading before the end of the year 2025 for the 50th time by December 31. However, I did not have the peace to do it. I would rather follow the inward leading of the Lord, how much to read in a day. I simply followed the Lord's inward leading. Therefore, the Lord timed the portion perfectly for me to read the portion in Ezekiel on 1 and 2 Jan 2026.

I was full of joy when I read the first promised blessing on January 1, and I shared it with the saints immediately.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today (Received and Shared on 1st Jan 2026)

And I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing. 

And the trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I break the bars of their yoke and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 

(Ezekiel 34:26-27, RecVer)

Again, on the 2nd January, the Lord spoke to me His words of promised blessing of increase, multiplication, and fruitfulness as a continuation of His promise for the year. This time I shared with the church and family group, with those who are more in fellowship.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today (Received and Shared on  2nd Jan 2026)

For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be tilled and sown; And I will multiply people upon you, the entire house of Israel, all of it! The cities will also be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. I will also multiply upon you man and beast, and they will increase and be fruitful, and I will make you inhabited as you were formerly, and I will make it better for you than when you began. Then you will know that I am Jehovah. 

(Ezekiel 36:9-11, RecVer)

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them;

I will increase them with men like a flock.

(Ezekiel 36:37, RecVer)

The faithful word of God also came with a faithful commitment from the recipient of  His word. Go released the burden; we must follow up in prayer. God promised; we must claim it by faith.

Today, I also shared this promise of God with the brothers in coordination in the church. We claim the promise of God together, and the Lord will fulfill His promise.

Amen to the word of God. Amen to God's faithful word of promised blessing of multiplication, fruitfulness, and increase for the year 2026!

First Day, First Month

As the Lord released the burden for prayer toward the land, the city, and the temple, we also began our new year in such a way. I personally enjoyed a wonderful time of prayer personally, for all my official services, church responsibilities and family duties. As usual, as the Lord burdened me much, I enjoyed a sweet time of prayer, releasing all the burden the Lord blessed me with, carrying forward the prayer burdens from the last year. What a blessing to be burdened by the Lord to pray His burdens!

On the first day of the first month, I enjoyed the Lord’s grace again to begin the new year in prayer personally, and briefly together with my family members too. As a brother helped us in the churches combined prayer meeting with some key Bibles verses related to the burden released for prayers towards the holy land, the holy city, and the holy temple, my new year, the first day of the first month, began with prayer for the burdens released. 

In the first month, the first day of the month, the land emerged from the flood. I must continue to gain the all-inclusive Christ.

And in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and saw that now the surface of the ground was dry. (Genesis 8:13, RecVer)

On the first day of the first month, there was the return to the city where there is separation, protection, and expression. I must be recovered more and more inwardly and outwardly for the reality of the church life, the kingdom of God.

For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him. (Ezra 7:9, RecVer)

On the first day of the first month, the Word of Jehovah came for purification. I must be purified with the blood of Jesus daily and be constituted with His word, fkr His truth sanctifies.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull of the herd without blemish, and you shall purify the sanctuary. (Ezekiel 45:18, RecVer)

In addition to these personal experiences and enjoyment of Christ, the churches in North India had a two days teenagers and young people meeting for a marathon reading of the book of Genesis with a review on the burden of the book. 

The Lord also gave me a personal word which Inalso shared to some WhatsApp group I am in.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today

And I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing.

And the trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I break the bars of their yoke and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 

(Ezekiel 34:26-27, RecVer)

What a way to begin the new year with! On the first day of the first month, the Lord has graced and blessed us so richly, even with His promised showers of blessing! Hallelujah!
