Commit to Faithful Men

2 Timothy 2:2

And the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.

The urgent need of the Lord's move in this age is to perfect all the saints. This matter has not boiled down with me so well when I first heard about it. But during this time of propagation in new city, Guwahati, the Lord freshly touched me of the need and urgency for perfecting more faithful saints to do the work I have been doing. If I cannot perfect others, however functioning I may be, I am limited by just me, and there is no other person like me. This limits the Lord's move.

"Commit to faithful men," is a strong phrase. All the saints have at least a talent. All of them need to be perfected to use the most of their talent for the Lord's interest. But they need perfecting. As much as I can preach and teach and perfect others, so much the more, more saints should be perfected to do the same, if not better, as I can. Otherwise there will be a vacuum in my service, a lack and a loophole. Whether I am available or not should not matter anything at all. The age of spiritual giant is gone; today is the age of the Body and the members of the Body must all functions and their functions must be perfected.

As far as time frame is concerned, I have two and half weeks time; half of this is almost gone. Though I am so much burdened and functioning as I could, I cannot stay here longer as I had to go to other places. In one of my morning prayer time, I was so worried about how would the work continue if I go to other places? Then the Lord reminded me to perfect the younger saints that they can do the same thing that I am doing, even that they be able to do better than me. Thereby, starting today, I gave more opportunity for the other saints to exercise and function. And are giving all the opportunities to other saints that they all be perfected and function to build up the Body in gospel preaching, shepherding the new believers and taking care of many practical matters. Oh what a release to learn this lesson; a lesson of committing to faithful men!

Lord, perfect me to commit what You have blessed me with to faithful men that they too may be blessed and be blessings to many more.
