Shepherding : Revisitation

Today, the Lord burdened me to visit a family by all means as I have not visited for a quarter of a year. Though I attempted a couple of times, it never worked out. But today, I was very burdened and decided to visit at all cost.

On this revisitation, I was shepherding the family especially the husband who has already believed into the Lord Jesus Christ but has not yet been baptised, as he has been waiting for the proper time and proper inward confirmation for the same. The Lord's word of shepherding was, sharing testimonies of two new believers who were baptised and whose lives changed dynamically after the Lord Jesus saved and entered into them. 

Later, the whole family were gathered together wherein I ministered on Exodus 15, on the experience of Marah and Elim. This was my very recent enjoyment of the Lord. In fact, I ministered on the same subject yesterday in a Christian home meeting in Gurgaon. Each time I ministered on the subject, new light dawned. The word became richer and sweeter. I just shared my enjoyment of the Lord through the word; how the Lord changed my bitter water into sweet water to quench my spiritual thirst. Not only so, the very sweet water that quenches my thirst is a spring gushing out from within my spirit to supply others with the same sweetness I have been enjoying. Then, we all called upon the Lord's name and prayed.

In our initial meeting, the sister confessed that she lost all her taste for anything, even the food she used to love. She has been through a lot of pressure and pain, within and without. That was one of the reasons our revisitation took after a quarter of months gap. But after the sweet home meeting, she was so joyous and happy; of course, her mother and her husband too. The Lord graciously shepherded us all. She herself responded their need for fellowship with fellow believers. We mutually agreed to practically meet at least once a month and that they also should join the church meeting at least once a week. By this way, keeping the joy of salvation active in the midst of tin and dross.

What a wonderful revisitation it was indeed! It was a revisitation of the Lord Jesus Christ for a sweet and wonderful fellowship. In faith, I prophesied the baptism of our sister's husband and mother. May the Lord do it soon, in His time.
