2013

With sobriety and sincerity, with thanksgiving and prayer, as the church in Gurgaon, we gathered for prayer, fellowshiping on the basics of Christian life for the church life. The Lord's presence was so dear, the prayers were so strong and full of Spirit. Such was how we ended our 2012. 

Counting not on what have gone by, but looking forward for more growth in the divine life, we, a small number congregate for a year end thanksgiving prayer fellowship. The testimonies of the saints' experience and enjoyment were so marvelous. Through ups and downs, through stormy sea and thunderous wind, the saints have been learning to take Christ as their person and living; growing from one degree to another degree. That was marvelous.

As for me too, I was deeply into prayer, communing with the Lord, enjoying His presence and hearing His voice. This day has been significant at least in three matters: it is the day of my spiritual birth, that transpired 15 years ago in 1997 on the same day; it is also the day the Lord called me for His service 10 years ago in 2002 and it is also the day, the Lord fully cleared the cloud of confusion from within and without concerning the Lord's recovery. In the principle of incarnation, this day means so much to me; as a remembrance of the mercy and goodness of the Lord; I would offer up prayers of thanksgiving and a renewed consecration, seeking for the Lord more intimately.

The Lord was faithful to speak as the still small voice; concerning my Christian life and living, my service in Him, with Him, for Him, and the burden related to the church. Thank the Lord for His speaking. To me, this is the greatest blessing; the presence of the Lord, the speaking of the Lord, the very God Himself. That's how I began my year.
Acts 3:20.. seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord..
