Seeking Sister

Yesterday I received a surprise call from a sister who introduced herself as a friend of another sister whose family I used to visit for family fellowship. She further said, she was so hungry for the word of God that on her enquiry that sister introduced me as a brother "well versed with the Scriptures," a phrase which I would hardly use for myself as I never reckon myself to be such. It was the mercy of the Lord that some seekers were supplied through the ministry of the word, for the word is the word of God and it supplies life, irrespective of who ministers it. The word of God is full of life and Spirit. What a blessing to be able to taste the word and minister the same to others in need!

Today, she came as she promised and the Lord graced me to minister the word at length, for about one and half hour. She was so seeking that she just drew the word of God out of me as I ministered. Though she professed herself to be "prophetess" and have been doing signs and wonders, and into many superstitious-supernatural-spiritual stuffs, she has the grace to realise that she is desperately hollow in the knowledge, understanding, revelation and constitution of the word of God. I was glad for her frankness and openness. That gave me full freedom to speak boldly the word as the Spirit led me. 

First, I explained what prophet and prophesying means in the light of ministering God in Christ as life through the word, backing up with Scripture verses in the Old Testament from the book of Ezekiel on prophesying to dry bones and 1 Cor. 14.

I also confirmed to her that to minister life we must first be filled with life. But to be filled with life, we must be filled with the word. And the way to be filled with the word is by reading the word of God with our eyes, understanding with our mind, and digesting with our spirit. Besides, I expounded John 6 on the line of eating the Lord as the Bread from heaven, of life, living, and true.  As a foretaste we pray-reading John 6:63.

John 6:63 - It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 

As we read and prayed over the verse, she was so supplied that she exclaimed in praise to God with tears. In fact, she also spoke in tongues with ecstatically expression and exclamation in joy. This expression was nothing new to me as I had been to a couple of pentecostal meetings of such reaction. And she acknowledged in thanks that she has been so much nourished with the word of God. She expressed her desire to come for the fellowship and for the study of the word regularly,  and even, perhaps, join the training in the truth. May the Lord continue to supply and feed her until she is gained for His eternal purpose. 

By the way, she is a local Gurgaoan, the first to be saved in her whole family, the wife, daughter and sister of Army officers; for her husband, father and brother are all from reputed rank of Indian army. May the Lord bless her richly with the word and save her whole family for the Lord's testimony in Gurgaon. 

The Lord has indeed reserves His remnants in this city for His testimony. May our sister be a channel to gain such remnants.
