One Fruit, One Month

..producing twelve fruits, yielding each fruit each month.. Rev. 22:2

A week ago the Lord intuitively spoke to me in my time with Him in the Word that I should bear one fruit each month, twelve remaining fruits in a year. As I prayed over the burden the Lord imparted, it was made more clear to me that as a family we would pray for this to be true each month. Few days later I fellowshipped with my wife. Though she responded with a faint "amen", later she agreed to bear the same burden as we started to pray for this burden. First, to set a pattern as a family, then be a testimony to the saints to follow suit; that all may bear abundant and remaining fruits.

To my assessment at least, I cannot tolerate being fruitless. Not that I don't have any fruits, but that I should have more fruits, in fact, remaining fruits. This is the promise of the Lord to all those who abide in Him, and a command of the Lord to go forth to bear fruits.

Following the receiving of the burden and the prayer with it, the Lord led me to meet some of the new ones to fellowship and pray together. To those I could not meet physically, I called them over the phone for fellowship and for prayer. Besides, the Lord also brought new ones back to fellowship even with my wife. So we both prayed together and bore the burden together. Our goal for this month is a baptism of a brother and  the recovery in the a normal Christian life and church life of a sister. By faith, we reckon it accomplished. Praise the Lord!

With this new burden, my view towards the new ones, towards the Lord's promises and towards the situation of the saints and churches had a radical change. With this burden I would pray for the saints and the new ones, and shephereded them as much as possible leaving no stone un-turned. Whenever we meet, I would grasped the opportunity to fellowship, minister the word and pray. Especially on the Lord's day prophesying meeting, I would release my burden based on the present speaking of the Lord in the HWMR with a review of the foregoing messages as a reminder and repetition for constitution. 

Trusting the Lord's mercy and grace, I look forward to the Lord's abundant blessing this year. Even in my personal pursuit, the Lord graces me to divine into the ministry writings with a definite goal of completing the pursuing of the collected works of Watchman Nee. I have now grasped every opportunity, redeeming my time to get into the ministry of the word, especially while travelling in Metro or at any free time. This indeed is a very enjoyable exercise. What a grace to be under the Lord's blessing in following Him!

Lord, grace and bless us to be Your fruits bearing branches by eating of the Tree of Life and drinking from the River of Water of Life.
