Imphal : A Revisitation

Three weeks ago after discharging my burden the Lord blessed me with for Mizoram, Assam and Nagaland, He brought me to Imphal. There, a brother with whom I have been on phone call fellowship for years picked me up. We had an impromptu fellowship over dinner and then on to his home with his wife, we fellowshipped past midnight till 1:30 am. The fellowship was so sweet; full of testimonies and the truth concerning Christ and the church. Many fundamental queries or doubts were fellowshipped over with relevant Bible references. The couple were so captured by the truths though with some minor non-essential differences. And I stayed overnight in their living room.

The next day morning after my time with the Lord in the Word, we continued our fellowship over breakfast and till lunch. That's when they invited me to minister to their congregation on the following Monday night Bible study meeting.

On Monday night, upon the brother's request, I gave my testimony of how I got saved and how the Lord called me. Then ministered on the mystery of human life with testimonies. And concluded with the need for Christian growth in life by eating, drinking and breathing the Lord. The Lord blessed the believers through the ministry of the word. Though the brother invited me again to minister on the following Lord's day, my preference was to meet with the saints in the Lord's recovery who have taken the ground of the church.

Besides, the Lord also arranged another seven meetings at different places at different times with the saints and new ones mostly. I just treasured the Lord's arrangement through the Body for the Body.

I also spent time with my brother and his wife on some important practical brotherly fellowships, apart from spending time with my mom and dad.

The visit was timely and was blessed by the Lord. And after all my burdens were released I flew back to Gurgaon, my physical home city for now.

The prayers of the saints and the burdens from the Lord were all dispensed in time under His anointing and blessing. The presence of the Lord was very sweet and dear. It means everything to me, without which will be a mere natural vacation.

Lord, preserve me ever in Your presence.
