On the 5th of this month, I received a call from a brother informing me of the Gurgaon Christian Leaders' fellowship in Jharsa, Gurgaon. Though it was so sudden, and I was wondering if I could really make it for the meeting, yet as I considered before the Lord, I felt it was the Lord's opening the door among the beleivers in this city. Therefore, I sent out a prayer request and also prayed for this meeting.
On the 6th of March, with two other serving ones, we all went to the venue for the meeting and arrived the venue thrity mninutes earlier. It was our first meeting as scuh in this city though we have been placed here for over a decade. The attendants were mostly Christian leaders and pastors who have their congregation within and around Gurgaon city. The meeting was pentecostal in style and nature. We simply joined the brothers and sisters in their worship of God. Though in outward practices there may be drastic differences, but inwardly, we all are children of God. It was an opportunity for me to open up to fellow Christians simply because we all are believers in Jesus Christ.
Though it was my first time to attend such a meeting, the host was kind enough to give me time to present and introduce the ministry books. I introduced the ministry books to the crowd of some forty Christian leaders. The response was very obvious.
Two Christian pastors were very interested in the ministry books. They purchased some books for their pursuit and wanted to have more fellowship with us. They even invited me to visit them the following Lord's day. In fact, these two pastors were not new to me.
Few years ago while distributing tract in Cyber City, a biker saw me and stopped by to meet me. He introduced himself as a Christian pastor and was very glad that I was distributing gosple tracts. We exchanged phone numbers and considered to meet, but that never happened. Many years after, we met in this leaders' meet.
As for the other pastor, as fas as my memory goes, I met him while preaching the gospel in a park. Since then we have been in touch on WhatsApp but never met. Though I did talk to him over the phone once, but we never could meet. Finally, we met in the leaders' meet.
To me, these two brothers were very unique from the rest. First I already met them before. Second, we have been in touch on social media. And third, they were very open to the ministry books. Our meeting was sovereiognly timed by the Lord. Though there were many other leaders, deep within me, these two brothers have the simplicity and purity, as my spirit witnessed to it. I was glad that the Lord took me there. In His time, we will meet with these two brothers again and perhaps, the Lord would shine on them to see His heart's desire.
Though some rumor and false accusation were spread by some leaders against the ministry, though none of them dared to face me face to face, atlesat to check if their misinformed news could be validated. But one brother did ask me if the doctrine of the ministry books were sound. My emphatic reply was, "Very Sound! You have to read to find out for yourself." To this brother, I gifted God's Eternal Plan as a foretaste of the ministry and requested him to read and get back for more fellowship. Later, I also messaged him of the need to search and find out the truth as the Berean believers in Acts 17:11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
We are in the city of Gurugram becasue the Lord has placed us here. In His time and in His way, we will be one with Him for His testimony in this city.
Lord, bless Gurugam with Your healthy words.
