The Body Life

Today is the age of the Body of Christ. As believer, I am a member of the Body too. This truth, to many, is unheard of, and yet to those who know, often is more of objectivity. Blessed are those who know in word and in deed. The subjectivity of this profound truth is unfathomable in oneself, it needs the Body itself to experience its authenticity. Recently the Lord gave me a glimpse of this glorious Body life.

One whole week long I was with the saints in Bengaluru for a World Christian Expo 2014. There had been a lot of preparation and prayer in the Body for some specific burdens to release during this expo. Crucial ones were, promotion of the ministry books, refutation of false accusation, successful distribution business-wise, relational rapport with all stakeholders for Christian literature and finding translators in specific Indian languages. Amazingly, during the expo, all these burdens were carried out. Even, emphatically, point by point, stage by stage, to the end of the expo.

Since day one, as a team and even personally, I enjoyed the presence and anointing of the Lord so much. Every Christian we met and fellowshipped with, was full of life-supply. It was hard to describe how the timely words of the Lord were ministered. The Christian book expo, to me, was more like a Christian high-gospel propagation. Though some came with skeptical mind, questioning us of our orthodoxy in teachings, understanding and practices of the truth, the Lord gave us the wisdom to refute all false allegations and positively minister Christ through the word and with our own life testimonies. To my understanding, the defaming cloud of mindsets were set upright. For after every speaking, most of them ended up buying the ministry books.

Besides, the coordination of the saints in the church in Bengaluru was so sweet. The Lord indeed commanded the blessings there, where and when we stood as one Body in one accord. Even the hospitality and the fellowship with the saints was so sweet. Our physical body, though worn out after each day's work, was so nourished with the saints love and care. For we all served together in oneness for the same goal of gaining and building up the chosen for the Lord's purpose.

The sum of all is, it was a move in the Body, with the Body and for the Body. It was a wonderful enjoyment of the Body life. This indeed is the Lord's desire, that not only in occasion such as this, but now and ever, shall our living be, in the body life.
