Relocation

Moab has been at ease from his youth; And he is settled on his lees and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel; Nor has he gone into exile. Therefore his taste remains in him, And his scent is not changed. Jeremiah 48:11

Few weeks ago, my house owner invited me to his house. A brother and I went to visit him and the fellowship was a possible relocation as he wanted his son to take up a business in the premise we are running our office operation. Later, this point of relocation was my main prayer burden.

This fellowship opened the door for a future and broader view in my service, officially and the church as well. With much prayer and consideration, I started looking out for new premises. Though considerable options are available all of them will still be on rent, and are mere temporary arrangement. This consideration further leads to a consideration for our own premise. 

This incident is a new beginning for us after seven years of being in the same premise. The decision affects our office as well as my family residence. For at least a week I was silent not knowing how to respond to our house owner. But as he kept reminding us of our decision, I finally wrote a mail of relocation while thanking him for caring for us the past seven years.

This further leads to a fellowship of using the premise of our own which is now being used for training purpose. Though no concrete matter has developed yet, we are heading to a good note on this line. May the Lord in His time lead us further on for His move. Through all the considerations so far, there seems to be a possibility of building our own office space on an unused space of the said premise.

Most importantly, there is a need to be fresh and new. When we settled in one place and are at ease, there are possibility of losing our taste, and remaining the same and pale all the while. Often there is a need to be emptied from vessel to vessel. Perhaps, this is the time to be emptied from vessel to vessel.

At His own good time, the Lord does what he needs to do, faithfully. This fellowship of relocation is another move the Lord is going to do in us. I reckon it as from the Lord, and amen the decision of our house owner.
