Shepherding in Keralam

During the one day gap between the conferences in North and Central Keralam on the 26th June, we had a time of shepherding visit to a family and ministering the word to a seeking believer in Palakkad where the saints are.

In the home of a brother and sister who have drifted away from the church life, I was asked to share something suddenly. Within a few seconds, I exercised my spirit and released the burden the Spirit gave at that moment, for the couple. The ministry of the word was on experiencing and enjoying the presence of the Lord even in the most difficult circumstances. When faced with situations, it is easy to blame the situations and drift away into the world or self or sin. The easiest way at such time was to be carried away by the ongoing current. Or even to pray for deliverance from such situations. But the Lord’s way was not merely deliverance, but His presence in the situation and turning it into a pleasant one as the Lord turned the blazing furnace of fire into a pleasant place for Daniel's three friends. There was no deliverance but His presence. By understanding God's way, one can gain God through all circumstances and grow unto full maturity to become the prepared Bride to fulfill God's eternal purpose. The fellowship was so timely and the couple prayed according to the words spoken.

Then, we visited a brother in his assembly hall where I was surprised by the sight I saw inside the hall. The bookshelf was almost filled with Malayalam HWMRs and on the table, the latest issue of Malayalam HWMR. I was asked to minister on the New Testament ministry and I did so with Malayalam translation for about an hour until I fully released my burden. Later, the brothers continued to fellowship directly in Malayalam. After such fellowship, the key brother purchased all the title books in Malayalam and a box of Malayalam New Testament Recovery Version. 

This experience became a strong testimony for us as we referred the same in all the three place of blending conference to encourage the saint to pay the price to buy the ministry books, pursue and be constituted with it.

The Lord indeed has reserved and preserved His seeker of the truth even in different Christian groups! O what a sight to behold the ministry books in the meeting hall of Christians who are still in different group! The ministry is for all. 

Meeting in Thengapatnam

Therefore having this ministry as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart;

2 Corinthians 4:1 RecVer

On the 29th June, after the conferences, we had a time of fellowship and prayer, and completed some pending works. In the evening, I was led to join the group meeting of the saints in the church in Marthandam at a home of the saints in Thengapatnam. As requested by the brother, I ministered on the New Testament ministry, the unique ministry according to the apostles' teaching for the building up the Body of Christ that consummate the New Jerusalem. 

Tracing the Bible from Genesis all the way to Revelation on the all-inherting vision, I ministered on the vision during the time of Adam, Abel, Enosh, Enoch, Noah,.. Moses,..David, Solomon, and then to Jesus in the Gospels, the apostles' one work in the epistles, and finally to the consummation in the New Jerusalem with a strong emphasis on the New Testament, one unique ministry of the Spirit, of life, for the building up of the Body of Christ. A brother took notes of every Bible verses I quoted and also noted down the crucial points ministered. Later, the saints prophesied one by one, echoing the words ministered.

This was a wonderful small group meeting where a specific burden was released and all the saints mutually shared. It was such a shepherding and perfecting meeting. I myself was very supplied by the ministry of the word though I was the one who ministered outwardly, it was the Lord who ministered. Praise the Lord for the church life and the ministry of the word!

Blending in Keralam

I just came back from the fellowship in Chennai, the ministry literature journey in Nagercoil, and also from the fellowship of the brothers in Keralam. Then, I received a fellowship from the brothers about the need to go again to Keralam for conferences. My innate response was; not me this time, I just came back from South India ministry journey and I had other plans. However, I kept myself open to the fellowship and took the matter to prayer. As I prayed, the Lord confirmed that I should go again and thst this was His arrangement. Then, I made a plan to also carry out the ministry literature distribution in addition to attending the conferences. 

On the 24th June, I landed at Kozhikode airport. This was my first time to this beautiful city of landscapes teeming with greens everywhere, a blend of coconut trees and many others. The next day, the 25th June, the regional blending conference for the saints in North Keralam was held in Kozhikode. Some of us brothers coordinated to release the messages according to the need of the present situation among the saints and the churches in Keralam. In fellowship and in sweet one accord, we faithfully ministered the word and enjoyed blending with the saints. My portion for the ministry of the word was on "Arriving at the Highest Peak of the Divine Revelation" shared at the last session.

On the 27th June, the same blending conference was held in Perumbavoor for the churches in central Keralam and on the 28th June in Kattakada for the churches in South Keralam with the same set of messages. In these two places, my portions of the ministry of the word were on "The Triune God- the Three-one God for His Divine Dispensing to Carry Out His Eternal Economy" and "Arriving at the Highest Peak of the Divine Revelation." 

The reason such conferences was to address the ongoing situation faced by the churches in Keralam as some different teachings from some dissenting brothers were creeping in subtly to distract the saints from the enjoyment of the Lord. This was also very timely for the blending of the saints together, especially in the South Keralam where such a blending was due for quite a while. The messages released were:

• The All-inheriting Vision, the One Accord, the High Peak of the Divine Revelation, and the Reality of the Body of Christ 
• The New Testament Ministry- the Unique Ministry according to the Apostles' Teaching
• The Triune God- the Three-one God for His Divine Dispensing to Carry Out His Eternal Economy 
• Arriving at the Highest Peak of the Divine Revelation

In so attending, I was able to meet some saints I had not met for many years. It was a refreshing time of meeting and fellowshipping with the saints.

As the saints also echoed the messages, it was confirmed that the Lord’s timely speaking was the need of the time for the saints in Keralam. Only the speaking of the Lord can heal the situation of the saints. Praise the Lord for the ministry!

Lord, blend and bless the churches in Keralam for Your strong amd shining testimony. 

Prayer and the Presence of God

Now when Daniel came to know that the writing had been signed, he went to his house (in his upper room he had windows open toward Jerusalem) and three times daily he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave thanks before his God, because he had always done so previously.

Daniel 6:10 RecVer

Daniel depended on prayer to do what man could not do and to understand what man could not understand. There is no other way to bring God’s economy into fulness and into fulfillment except by prayer; this is the inner secret of this chapter.

God desires to carry out His economy, but man is needed to pray for His economy on earth. God carries out His economy through His faithful channels of prayer. Today prayer is the lifeline in the Lord’s recovery. The more Satan tries to frustrate our prayer, the more we should pray.

This portion from the ministry supplied me with much light and life concerning my prayer life. I again and again repeated this burden to all the saints in my locality, to the people I am in contact, to the ones under my shepherding, and to my own family members, to live a life of prayer, to bring every matter to the Lord in prayer and also to also set specific time to pray daily. Daniel's three times a day prayer is a wonderful pattern for all to follow. 

May the Lord grace us all to men of prayer. 

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the blazing furnace of fire, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor worship the golden image that you have set up.

Daniel 3:17-18 RecVer

Upon careful consideration of the verses above, one can learn some important spiritual lessons. First, trusting in the living God come what may, God is faithful to take care of His children, even in living or dying. Second, one must not assume what God would do. God's intention with Daniel's three friends was not to deliver them from the furnace of fire but to let them go through it with His presence. In fact, God only arranged the three to go through the fiery furnace and thereby manifest who He is. Third, God can turn, and He will turn, whatever circumstances to His and His children's favor. Even the blazing furnace of fire becomes a pleasant place with Him to the extent that the fire has no effect whatsoever, against the natural law for He is above the natural laws, in fact, the very Creator Himself.

The presence of the Lord turns even the blazing furnace of fire into a pleasant place. His presence is all that matters, no matter the circumstances. The Lord did not deliver Daniel's three friends from the furnace of fire, instead He allowed them to go through it, but with His presence. The furnace of fire did no affect them at all, instead it drew the King's attention to the living God!

The Lord may not always deliver us from the furnace, but He will always meet us in the furnace. His presence turns the place of suffering into a place of enjoyment, and the fire that tests us becomes the means by which we gain more of Christ.

As a man of prayer living in the presence of God, everything is a blessing. All circumstances are pleasant with the presence of God. And all these, are for God to gain His chosen and redeemed ones to be fully one with Him to accomplish His eternal purpose on the earth. What a Christian life we are living today! What a blessing that we live on the earth today as God-man! No works of Satan can deter God's plan. On the contrary, God turns every scheme of Satan to display His multifarious wisdom. Hallelujah!

But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.

Romans 8:37 RecVer

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57 RecVer

Experience of Christ: In Material Things

Honor Jehovah with your substance And with the firstfruits of all your produce; Then your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will burst open with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 RecVer

As much as in our daily living, so much more in material things, Christ can, and must be experienced. I have the grace from the Lord to experience Him in material things too.

Fifteen years ago, I purchased a Life Issurance plan from LIC after a repeated phone call I received from an agent. When the agent turned up, I doubted and denied buying the plan. However, when a higher up person called me, I was convinced, and the agent turned up again. Finally, I bought a policy for ten years, to be paid yearly. However, when I received the final policy document, it was fixed for fifteen years. I was so disappointed then. However, I continued to pay the premium yearly. After a few years, I had some doubts and even went to the branch office for verification. This year, this month, the policy matured and I got a huge return, much beyond my expectation. The policy matured at the right time when my daughter has to go abroad for her further studies. 

As usual, the first thing is to always honor the source of supply by offering back to meet the need of the Lord’s work wherever the Lord led me to. This time, I was burdened to offer for the meeting hall construction of the church in Aizawl. In fellowship with the brother there, my burden was carried out in a way of offering from what the Lord has blessed. 

Besides, this month, a brother's family just migrated back to his home country and there was a need for winding up his household items. After everything that could be sold were sold, I took the burden to buy everything remaining and sell to whoever needs them. Whatever remaining should just be my responsibility to pay whether I needed them or not. For this, I could use the money I just received as a help-cum-offering. And this burden too was carried out. 

The crux of the matter is, all these things transpired in this month, June 2026, on the same week when the policy got matured. It was like, this was already foreknown and preplanned fifteen years ago. The year, the month, the week, and even the day, were all apt. This was for me to experience Christ in material offerings and in matters related to material things.

Praise the Lord!

Experience of Christ: In Living

Experiencing the Lord in every situation is a blessing in disguise. Though every step of the believers is directed by the Lord, it is possible for one not to reckon the Lord’s way in dealing with His chosen. But for those who did, it's an experience all the way and worth it's reckoning. 

As for me, I have been learning to bring every matter to the Lord in prayer. As I did so, the Lord reminded me about the ongoing processes of my daughter's preparation for her further studies in Taiwan. For the documents that were issued by the school and the board, we have received them well in time. But for the documents that needed my own preparation, I also prepared them well in time. Inwardly, the Lord led me when to apply for it, when to go Delhi for its authentication. I could just feel the Lord’s hand in every step of the process letting me know, even the date on which I should visit the school and also the embassy. Everything worked out just in time. 

On the 22nd June, I went to the school as I had planned the week before, and on the same day, to Taiwan embassy in Delhi for the authentication. Through all these processes, the experience of Christ was all that stood out. The same thing could be done by anybody on any day sans the experience of Christ. But the points is the experience of Christ in every matter concerning us.

Similarly, for my son's secondth board exam on Maths result, my niece's exam for her future studies, and my plan for the ministry journey. Everything to the Lord in prayer. What a blessing that we have the living God to whom we can bring everything! 

To this extent, I have established a weekly family prayer time and fellowship on Monday. It was a family time to consider every matter of the family and pray together. In this way, the whole family is ushered to a life of prayer and trusting in the Lord for everything. Nothing is to be taken for granted. At all times for all things, looking to the Lord for His grace and blessings. No matter what, experience the Lord through everything. The ultimate goal of such a life is to gain Christ and be fully matured to fulfill His divine and eternal purpose. This is a life lived for the experience and gaining of Christ. 

Blessed Gifts

As the Lord added a new year to my mortal human life, my daughter gave me a gift with a verse:

A righteous man who walks in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him. 

Proverbs 20:7 RecVer

I may not deserve to be called a righteous man as such, however, by the Lord’s mercy, Christ has become my righteousness and He has blessed me with blessed chidren. As I keep aging, I also pray for the Lord’s deeper work in me, year by year, even to attain to full maturity in life.

As usual, I went out to pray and entered into a new year, with prayer, consecrating my life afresh to God for His divine and eternal purpose. After such an overnight prayer, I took bath and worked on the excerpts to be made ready for the upcoming blending conferences for the churches in Keralam. Interestingly, the excerpts I worked on are articles on deification, "Becoming God"; the leaven of heaven, a healthy teaching on John 14; and the truth concerning the Triune God. Only then, I went to rest early in the morning. That's how my new year began.

As I woke up, my two daughters gifted me cute and memorable gifts.

The day being the Lord’s Day, and also coincided with the webcast video training on the recently concluded memorial day conference on The Great Need for New Revival, I took the up-to-date speaking of the Lord as my "birthday gift." A new year with a new beginning for a new revival. For this. I must arrive at the highest peak of the divne revelation of God becoming a man to make man Gid in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. Through regeneration, sanctification, renewing, transformation, conformation, and glorification man becomes God in life and in nature, and not in the Godhead. Then, there is a need for proper God-man living, corporately in tne practical church and in coordination carrying out the universal shepherding of the saints. This is the Lord’s blessed speaking as a gift as I began my new year again.

In addition, we also had the brothers fellowship in Delhi where we were encouraged to preach the gospel and shepherd the new ones for the increase of the church. Another speaking of the Lord added to my gift box.

Again, in tbe evening, we had another message on the aspect of the God-man living that is required for the new revival. Then, my day ended with my personal time with the Lord in prayer.

This is how I have been blessed with a new beginning. Praise the Lord for the new beginning!
