A week ago the Lord granted us the experience of the Body in coordination and prayer of the propagation and raising up of the church in Chandigarh. Later, a fellowship was that I should go again to strengthen the shepherding the newly raised up church. But that was not out of my desire nor initiation, not even a thought conceived out of me. But the Lord as the Head of the Body initiated a visit through the members of the Body, and I "amen" the fellowship in the Body. The issue? O the anointing and the flow of grace and the supply of life from the Head was marvelous! Every meeting was so rich and so full of life, the Lord just spoke the timely word according to the need of the saints, and I enjoyed the Lord's presence very much. O what a blessing in the Body!
My train journey was even full of the Lord's presence; on my upward journey, the Lord anointed me to write a hymn on "Ambassador of Christ" based on the ministry of the Word, the recent HWMR. On my downward journey, another two hymns on "God's Building" and " God's Word." These all were the issue of being one with the Lord and with His Body, the church.
Literally, when we are one with the Lord and are coordinated in the Body; to represent Christ, the highest authority on earth, by living Christ, expressing Christ, determining to gain the honor of being well pleasing to Christ- living just to please Christ, constrained by the love of Christ, knowing people according to the spirit and carrying out the ministry of reconciliation, we are indeed in reality, not in mere title or name or status, "Ambassador of Christ." This is our Christian clarion call.
As Paul was, and the apostles were, so are we, when we live in the Body, serve in coordination in the Body and in fellowship with the Body. Praise the Lord for the Body life that qualifies us to experience the reality of being Ambassador of Christ!
