God's Blessings-Fruit Bearing

In our family prayer time the Lord lead us to pray for some specific names, reminding us of our need to cooperate with Him in and for His move. The day after, a surprise phone call came from one of such whom we prayed for. Out of the blue, he called, expressing his intense desire to meet me after a long gap of 5 months or so. He has been a seeker of the true and living God. True to his promise, he came. Then he shared his problems and what he has been going through. A self confident person suddenly lost his self-confidence. A goodly person ended up with misunderstandings. Yes, they were no good news, however, its music to my ear. The spirit within me discerned immediately that this was the Lord's doing. After listening to whatever he said, I exclaimed, "This is the Lord's sovereign arrangement!"

The Lord gave me a very strong feeling to help him spiritually in a proper manner. He had believed into the Lord and called upon the name of Jesus, and prayed the sinner's prayer for salvation last October 2011 when I met him in Palam Vihar, after preaching the gospel to him. I also gave him a Hindi Bible and a small tract "The Mystery of Human Life." Since then, we tried to meet again but it never worked out. But now, the Lord brought him right to the place where I lived, distance or transportation was not the issue. Discerning His need for Baptism, as he already believed, with the coordination of two more brothers, we clarified the truth about Baptism, and then he got baptised, willingly, out of his free will.

After the Baptism, he was so full of joy and shared how happy he was, his face shone with smiles! O the joy of salvation! He was so happy and excited. Then we had a session on "Topics for New Believers, Chapter 1." He read with much joy in Hindi, and more light dawned in him. Then we dropped him to his house. O what a day!

This is the blessing of God. When God blesses, we are blessed.
