After a long gap, the Lord had reminded me and burdened me of the need for shepherding those whom the Lord pleased to use me in their salvation. In prayer, the Lord confirmed three local haryanvi who were saved, in fact, were also baptised by us in the church in Gurgaon. Though there are quite a number to shepherd, practically speaking it is not easy to take care of them all, but it must be done in the Body. As for my portion, the Lord burdened me to focus specifically on three of the already batpised ones.
The first one was the one the Lord graced me to meet him in 2012 and got baptised thereafter. This one has so much been blessed by the Lord since then. Even, academically and professionally, so far he has been credited with 17 world records and 6 national records and also honored with a doctorate degree, to this date. Success has been his path since the day of his salvation. Besides, he attributed all to the glory of God in the name of Jesus Christ. He has been an ardent lover of Jesus Christ, and has subjectively experienced Jesus Christ so much.
Last Saturday we had a wonderful time together for over four hours. He was narrating all the blessings God has blessed him with, unimaginably. I was so happy to see a brother prosper physically as much as I desire to see spiritual prosperity. He was cherished with my listening ear, and also I helped him out in going through his achievements and future plans. My main burden released to him was his need for daily enjoyment of the Lord through the word, prayer and fellowship. We mutually agreed and decided to meet at least once a week and keep a regularly contact via phone calls and messaging. Altogether it was a lovely experience to be with one's spiritual fruit.
My burden was fully released. Besides, the cherishing and nourishing, I also gifted him a set of Life Lesson Vol 1-4, in Hindi and his assignment was to enter into at least a lesson a week, if not daily, which he agreed upon with the priority of spending time with the Lord in prayer and in the word of God. For prayer, the spirit and the word is the only way to go on in a Christian life with a fellowship in and with the Body.
O what a wonderful day it was! The joy of shepherding and being shepherded by the shepherding!
May the Lord, the true and chief Shepherd shepherd us all!
