Barely a week after the Lord's speaking and a fresh consecration of me and my family, the Lord grace us to go for gospel preaching as a family in Faridabad last Lord's day. If gospel preaching should have been based on one's condition, I would have stayed back with lame excuses. In fact, I did reason for a while if I should go or not, or wait until next year, that is until next week, as I have many pending tasks to finish. However, as a church we decided to go, and as a family we went. What a glorious day it was!
I enjoyed shepherding three groups of people at three different times sequentially in coordination with a propagation team. Each group had definite need and the burden released was very apt. The first one being a Catholic family, our fellowship was on the Christian life; its biblical meaning and how to live Christ in reality with the basic steps of breathing, drinking and eating the Lord. The Lord's speaking was so rich, I myself was so nourished by it.
The second group was a group of new believers who had questions on biblical truth, in fact, confused by different teachings of certain preacher. The fellowship was very interactive, and we ministered the word alongside answering their questions. These are recently saved believers who need tender care and shepherding. May the Lord bless them to be pillars for the church in Faridabad!
The third group of people was a strong spiritual and elderly group of Christians. To them the Lord's speaking was on a higher realm of the two aspects of the Spirit-the infilling and outpouring Spirit. And the result of the Spirit's outpouring on the day of Pentecost producing the church in Jerusalem. We delved deep into the intrinsic significance of the church on her local aspect and the works of the ministry that builds up the church, the Body of Christ, contrasting with the work of the gates of Hades which will not prevail against the builded church. Specifically, exploring the destructive work of Satan dividing the believers into different denomination under different leadership and teachings. The fellowship was well received and we had a love-feast thereafter.
It was a wonderful time ministering the word of God!
When we follow the Lamb wherever He leads, the Lord's anointing and sweet presence is always abiding with us.
It was a wonderful time indeed, purely the mercy of the Lord that we could partake in His move.
Lord, fully gain me and my family for Your move.
