Fellowship in Khariar Road

When the Lord wants to accomplish something, He just does it in His way with His people in His time. The visit to Khariar Road was never in our plan. However, as we received the news of the demise of our brother's father, we changed our plan and came to visit Khariar Road. 

After a long five hours drive, we just arrived in time to attend the funeral meeting. I was then informed that I should share the word. Immediately, I turned to the Lord for the word,  and the word was made clear.

Words of Comfort

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are sleeping, that you would not grieve even as also the rest who have no hope. For *if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so also those who have fallen asleep through Jesus, God will bring with Him*. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are living, who are left remaining unto the coming of the Lord, shall by no means precede those who have fallen asleep; Because the Lord Himself, with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are living, who are left remaining, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will be always with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, RecVer)

These words of comfort were spoken and prayer offered for the bereaved family. Then, we all went to the cemetry for the burial.

After this, a meeting was arranged again in the night where all the key Christian leaders were invited to attend. Though it was in the house of mourning, I turned it into the house of fellowship, ministering the word as the living Star led me to. For about an hour with Hindi translation, I ministered on God's Eternal Plan.

Though the audience were mostly Christian leaders, deep within, the Lord’s leading was to minsiter this truth from Genesis 1:26, 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Zechariah 12:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; John 1:1, 14, 12, 13; 19:34; 1 Corinthians 15:45; Romans 8:16; 12:1-2. After the Spirit's speaking through the word, the audience were deeply impressed. Many of the Christian Pastors fellowshipped with me after the meeting on how much light they received and how blessed they were with the word. I believe, it was for this purpose that the Lord bought us there. May the Lord continue to supply His chidren with His word.

Then, a brother invited us for a family visit to his house where we had coffee and prayers. The following day, another brother invited us for breakfast at his house. There too, we prayed for the family. Then, we ate early lunch, prayed for the saints in Khariar Road, and left for Raipur to catch our train to Delhi.

In such a short time, the Lord accomplished what He wanted to accomplish, in His time. We simply followed Him, changed our plan as needed, and enjoyed His blessing. 

As His speaking has been these days on following the living Star, so was His leading and our following His leading, His presence. What a blessing!

Fellowship in Bilaspur

As usual, after our visit to the Madku Masih Mela, we would visit and spend the Lord’s Day with the saints in the church in Bilaspur. As we were on the way from Bhatapara to Bilaspur, we prayed together for the Lord’s move in Chhattisgarh. Then, we pray-read the outline of the present holy word for morning revival on the instant and up-to-date revelation of the heavenly Christ. 

As we were on the way, we also received an information of the demise of the father of one of our serving brothers in Khariar Road Odisha. So, we fellowshipped and decided to attend the funeral service. For this, we had to cancel our trip back to Delhi, and eventually made a fesh tatkal booking the next day for Delhi.

In Bilaspur, as the brother gave us time to minister the word, one of us ministered from Romans 8. Then, I followed suit on following Christ the living Star from Matthew 2: 1-12.

Saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star at its rising and have come to worship Him. (Matthew 2:2, RecVer)

And after they heard the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which they saw at its rising led them until it came and stood over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. (Matthew 2:9-10, RecVer)

And because they had been divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed by another way to their country. (Matthew 2:12, RecVer)

As the Lord, the living Star, led me, I ministered the need for the saints to seek the Lord in the word and in prayer to receive revelation concerning the word. I also warned the saints of dead Scriptural knowledge without any revelation or light like the Jews, the Scribes and the Pharisees, and the danger of falling into human concept like the magi from the East which can lead to the spiritual death of the innocent. I also shared my testimony of how the Lord led me in prayer and through the word to serve Him all the days of my life since 2003. While following the livng Star faithfully, it will always lead us to another way, a way other than our human way. Then, we partook of the bread together with the saints in Bilaspur, followed by lovefeast. Then, we left for Khariar Road through a hired vehicle that took us five hours drive.

Thank the Lord for His Star leading us step by step. May the Lord bless His testimony in Bilaspur 

Ministry of the Word to Bhatapara, Bethelpuram, and Madku Dweep

Nothing done by the Lord is ever a waste. More than a year ago, I attended a theological conference in Bengaluru with a heavy price spent financially. I thought that it was more of a waste as I did not get the responses I expected. However, there I met a brother who is an influential Christian leader. This time, while in Ranchi I called him as he is from there. Though he was out of station, he gave me a contact in Bhatapara, which opened the door for the Lord’s move in the city.

This contact is a doctor who runs a hospital along with his wife in Bhatapara. Both have consecrated there lives to serve the Lord in the medical field. As we met and introduced the ministry to them, they were filled with joy. Especially the wife was so encouraged by our visit and fellowship that she also poured out her heart's desire in sharing whatever the Lord has done in her life. She gave us a tour of her brand new house and the hospital, and eventually requested us to pray in her chamber, which we obliged to. Then, her husband introduced another doctor in the nearby locality, opening the door for the Lord’s move through the ministry there in Bethelpuram. 

In Bethelpuram, we met the doctor who is the superintendent for over a decade now. He also gave us a tour of the hospital, the history of the hospital, and all the works he has been doing. When his wife who is also a doctor, joined us in the fellowship, we introduced the ministry literature to them. They both were very impressed with the truth and placed order for the Recovery Version Bible. Then, they took us to their house where we had a fellowship with their son over coffee and snacks until late afternoon. Then, we eventually went to Madhku Dweep to attend the ongoing Masih Mela.

In Madku Dweep, a good number of seekers visited our stall and purchased the ministry literature. The following day, when I was there, brothers from Bhopal, Betul, Champa, Jhanjir etc., visited and fellowshiped with us. It was good time of brotherly reunion.

In Bhatapara too, we had a time of fellowship over lunch with the parent of the doctor couple we met. Though elderly they were, we still could spend a few hours together listening to their testimonies, mostly narrated by the sister. Through them, their relative in Gurugram was also introduced over the phone. 

In this way, the Lord opened new doors in two new localities. I even updated the brothers with the following message:

Update on the Ministry Literature Journey

The Lord opened new doors in Bhatapara where we introduced the ministry to a doctor couple who runs a hospital and in Bethelpuram where another doctor couple are supervising a leprosy mission hospital. These are in addition to the Masih Mela in Madku Dweep where many seeking believers came and received the ministry literature. Then, today we had a time of fellowship with a group of believers who have been taking the stand as "the church in Bilaspur." All these are in Chhattisgarh. 

Today morning, we received an information of the demise of the father of our brother Anil Sahu in Khariar Road. So, we cancelled our trip back to Delhi and detoured to Khariar Road, Odisha, to be with the saints there today evening and tomorrow morning. Then, from there, we will be back to Delhi via Raipur on Wednesday. 

Thank you for all your prayers!

Ministry of the Word to Ranchi, Khunti, Chaibasa, and Chakradharpur

After the first Lord’s Day meeting was established in Hulhundu in Ranchi, we were to leave for Ranchi main city for the distribution. It was then that Lord gave me the burden to call up a brother who could be of help in the distribution. As I did so, he responded and joined us for the two days distribution in Ranchi. 

This brother was known to me some ten years ago when I first visited Jharkhand. He was our translator in a Christian meeting. Since then, he has been gained by the truth concerning Christ and the church.

In Ranchi, on the first day, we attended a Pastors' conference and introduced the ministry literature. Then, we had a time for fellowship with a brother who is an evangelist serving in the city. Then, we visited the two main Christian bookstores and they both placed order for the minsitry literature. 

On the secondth day, we had a time of fellowship and Recovery Version introduction to one of the key Christian leader. Then, with some Reverends of the mainline group, one of them was the managers of another Christian bookstore. Then, we had a time of fellowship with our local brother and his daughter over lunch, and later, with his relatives. Finally, we left for Khunti. 

For the following two more days we were in Khunti in our local brother's house. From there, one day we visited Chaibasa where we met the key Christian leaders of mainline groups, then on our way back, we met the main leader in Chakradharpur. The following day, we had a time of fellowship and ministry literature introduction to a brother who is a retired Engineer. We spent the whole day fellowshipping over coffee and lunch, and visiting his fields and gardens. Then, we were taken to visit a sightseeing spot called Rani Falls. After all these, we concluded the ministry journey in Jharkhand and left for Chattisgarh from Hatia by train.

In addition to the ministry literature distribution, the Lord brought us to Khunti to fellowship with a brother and his wife. On the secondth night of our stay in their home, we had a time of family fellowship where we allowed bith other to open up fully. Then, we fellowshiped with them the biblical view concerning husband and wife and emphasised the need to be in oneness by exercising the spirit to live Christ and partake Christ as the tree of life. We exhorted them to take the way of forgiving and forgetting the things of the past. We also gave our own testimony of our marriage life and the way we took; the way of prayer personally and prayer as couple.

In this way, I believe the Lord’s purpose in visiting Jharkhand, especially the brother's family, was accomplished.

May the Lord bless His move in Jharkhand!

Life Lesson: On Time

Officialy, there are many things that go unnoticed. However, when the need arises the Lord uses people to remind me of what needs to be done. Two good examples that I experienced recently are, the renewal of our company's IEC and export related documentation matter, and my USA visa renewal.

Since last December, a brother in UAE initiated the talk on exporting the ministry books and Bibles for the saints in the churches in the Middle East. Once we were ready for exporting, a shipment forwarder hired by the consignee led us to look into many documentation matters. While preparing for export, I realised that the company's IEC needed renewal which I did immediately online and also updated all the directors' details in the government website. And after updating all legal documentation, the freight forwarder informed me that they will not be handling our export matter as the exporting job was given to a courier company. Then, I realised that the Lord allowed this to remind me of updating all the company's official matter. He just used who all needed to be used to accomplish this matter.

Ten years ago, I had applied for my USA Visa for my attending the seminannual trainings in Anaheim California. Trusting the Lord, I prayerfully applied and got it. With that, I had visited the States three times within the ten years of the visa validity, all for attending seminannual trainings and fellowship. And for some reasons, I had no intention to renew it again though it is expiring in March this year. However, one night during the fellowship and training in Bengaluru, this thought of USA Visa renewal came to my mind. The next day, as I mentioned it to a brother, he encouraged me to do so and sent me two links for the process as he also did his visa renewal.

Once I got back to office from the ministry literature journey, and when I got the time, I did a thorough study on USA visa renewal process. The Lord even led me when I needed to get my hair cut and take USA visa passport size photo. He even led me to use one particular day for the online filling of DS-106 form and then apply for renewal online. As I did so, to my surprise, the date for submission of my passport was also readily available the next day, though I intent to wait further. Then without waiting further, I opted for the next day and submitted it before I began another eleven days ministry journey. 

The Lord led me step by step, on time. Even when I had no intention to do it, He knew I must do it. So, He led me to do it right away. I was amazed at how the Lord led me in doing things that I was not aware of, or had no intention to do it. He knew what needed to be done and when it should be done. I simply followed Him, and the things were done well on time. What a life lesson of doing things on time!

This is an experience of the living God moving and operating in me and in all that concerns me. O, what a living and moving God I have, who led me to do things in time! Praise Him!

First Lord’s Table in Huthundu, Ranchi

Today, the 1st of February 2026, the first Lord’s Table Meeting was established in the church in Huthundu, Ranchi District! Yesterday, we had a time of fellowship on the truth concerning the church, the local churches, and the Lord’s recovery. Three brothers coordinated to minister the word of God to local saints who received the Lord’s speaking with much life supply as evident from their taking notes, sharing, testifying, and their facial expression. Today morning, we had a time of fellowship on the significance of the Lord’s Table Meeting with an emphasis on the one Body of Christ, the fellowship of the Body of Christ, the fellowship of the blood, the cup of blessing, the remembrance of the Lord by eating the bread and drinking the cup, the oneness of the Body, the discerning of the Body, and the thanksgiving and worshipping of the Father. Though the initial number of the saints was just twelve, the Lord would "break them and bless them" and multiply the saints for His testimony.

In fact, I had no plan for visiting this time when a brother mentioned to me first, last year. I did not feel the need for me to be here as I felt I would get busy with other things. However, I always kept myself open to the Lord and to His Body. This year January when in Bengaluru, the same brother mentioned to me about visiting Ranchi again for the first Lord’s Table Meeting followed by distribution of rhe ministry literature in Ranchi and then Chhattisgarh. I realised this was from the Lord and immediately amen the brother's fellowship. Therefore, on the 30th Jan I boarded a train from Delhi with a view to spend more time in prayer during the eighteen hours train journey. In fact, on the 31st Jan, as I enjoyed my time with the Lord in the train, my co-passegers began to show interest to talk to me as they recognizer that I am a Christian with Bible in my hand. A family even got my number and requested if I could visit them in Ranchi, their hometown, or in Chandigarh, their work place. Then, when I arrived the brother's house, I refreshed myself, and then the fellowship session followed suit. In this way, the Lord granted me the grace to participate in the first Lord’s Table Meeting in Huthundu.

Praise the Lord for His testimony in Jharkhand!

Life Lesson: Trial of the Called

Abraham was called by God, so are we. As the called and chosen race in the New Testament, the history of Abraham is indeed our story today. God set him as a pattern from which we draw our life's path. He walked by faith, so must we. God's promise to him was humanly impossible, yet they were all proven possible. Only God knows the "science" of the impossible becoming possible; there is no way a human mind can fathom. Only the fools would try to. I guess I am not one to follow suit. Lord, have mercy on me.

Recently, I had a conversation with a brother who is also my house owner. That conversation triggered something I never expected in my life: a consideration of having my own house in Gurugram. I have been living in the city for twenty years now, and eighteen years in the present premises. There were thoughts flying around my head as to the hows and wheres of this consideration becoming a reality. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was impossible. I tried planning and scheming, but to no avail. I tried searching online for some real estate options, and the only scheme available is an affordable housing based on e-draw, and the venue is outside the city, though in the district of Gurugram. For this, I even registered myself online at the government portal. Then, on further reconsideration, I took a break from applying for the draw, though the due date is still a week away. I would rather pray over it first and also fellowship with my wife. And follow the Lord’s peace within and between us, 

Through all these, deep within, the Lord has promised me, as He did to Abraham, that He would provide at the proper time, which only He knows. As called by God, I have been following the Lord, and I must continue to do so, on and on, step by step. Meanwhile, I have been warned by the example of Abraham committing a mistake in using his natural strength to fulfill God's promise when he ended up producing Ishmael, whom God rejected. Instead, at the proper time, when neither of them believed in God’s promise, Isaac was born.

Then Abraham fell upon his face and laughed and said in his heart, Will a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child? And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before You! But God said, No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him. (Genesis 17:17-19, RecVer)

Is anything too marvelous for Jehovah? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. (Genesis 18:14, RecVer)

And Jehovah visited Sarah as He had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as He had promised. And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. (Genesis 21:1-3, RecVer)

Nothing is impossible with God. I must trust in God and take Him as my faith, to live by faith. At the appointed time, He will fulfill His promise, even for the earthly tabernacle until He returns, all for Him according to Him.

A place where the church can meet fruitfully,

A place where the literature service can operate peacefully, and

A place where my family can live joyfully. 

Until He leads me further, I must stay put, at the place where I have been. No argument, no negotiation, but total submission to the will of my heavenly Father, is all that I need to do. He knows what is best. I must simply trust Him. Lest, there is a chance of becoming like Cain who left the presence of God, like Jacob, needlessly struggling with his uncle Laban. Only Jacob proposed to serve his uncle for seven years for Rachel yet ended up serving fourteen years and got the two daughters of his uncle. Later, after twenty years of service, he had to flee in haste. 

Jacob should serve as a warning for me, not to use my natural strength to gain even what God has promised. At the proper time, He will fulfill His promise. I don't know how, I don't know when, but He surely will fulfill His promise. O Lord, help my unbelief.

And Jesus said to him, You say, If You can. All things are possible to him who believes. Immediately, crying out, the father of the child said, I believe; help my unbelief! (Mark 9:23-24, RecVer)

At the time of life, God’s promise of my Isaac will be fulfilled. And in my Isaac, the promise of God will be full of riches.

And the man became rich and continued to grow richer until he became very rich. (Genesis 26:13, RecVer)

Lord, let Your will be done.

Lord, may Your promise be fulfilled.

Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.

Amen
