Following the burden the Lord blessed me with, whenever I pass through Chennai I would visit certain families, for brotherly fellowship in Christ. Though all of these may not hold the same view concerning the church life, still I reckon them as my dear fellow members in the Body and visit them for fellowship and ministering Christ. The revisitation three weeks ago was noteworthy.
I never had any preconceived agenda, but as I visited them the Lord's instant speaking was so dear, apt and timely. It just matched their situation and we harmoniously fellowship and blend together.
To one family the Lord's speaking was on the general teaching and revelation of the Lord's recovery and the church life, to another about the importance of the Lord's presence in everything we do and the subjective experiences and enjoyment thereof, and yet to another the need to be under God's shining light and set things right with God and man to discern the genuine leading of the Lord. In all these fellowships the Lord's presence was very dear and sweet.
Another surprise visit was w to an IT engineer who was two years my senior when I studied my Master's degree. It was a friend and a brother who proposed to visit him. We did visit him and the time spent together was very sweet as I testified of the living testimonies of my experience of Christian life and how Christ has been so real and experience-able, subjective day by day. Besides, my words of encouragement was that he must "try Jesus" as well, and directed him to the ministry books website where he can read good spiritual books and be blessed. I recommended him to read The Economy of God by brother Witness Lee.
Only the Lord knows what the real result of these visits would turn out to be. Though these visited ones are on my prayer list and wish that they may be even as I am, enjoying the church life, I neither impose nor even vaguely indicated that they should be so, I only pray and visited them whenever possible.
God knows best and I did my part and leave to Him the rest. These visitations will continue as long as the Lord allows.
May the Lord bless them all.
