O Shillong!

For reason best known to God, I have the burden for the church in Shillong especially for some of the saints. Many things have transpired all these years, and I deeply pray for the local church in Shillong to be in oneness and in fellowship with all the other local churches, at least in India first. There still seems to be some struggling as the enemy hates the building up of the Body of Christ. Incidents after incidents, the course of fellowship and blending is like a long winding river passing through many valleys and hills, taking many corners and turns. But I do not lose heart, and never will; I still keep praying for the church and the saints there. I have no assurance about their feeling about me, but I consider them all as my dear fellow members of the Body, very sweet and dear: O love them all in the love of Christ! Therefore, many many times, I make mention of them in my prayer to the Lord.

It was on [10/03, 12:55] I messaged one of the leading brothers the following: 

Praise the Lord brother!

Last night I saw you in my dream. I visited Shillong and was with you. You took me to go through many houses in Shillong until we reached a house full of brothers and sisters for fellowship. There we were siting along with the saints enjoying the fellowship.

Then I woke up. Alas, it was just a dream.
Interpretation and understanding belongs to the Lord.)
Whatever you are, wherever you are, or whoever you may become, remember, there is someone who prays for you as a brother. 

My recent chat with sister BS is below:
[08/03, 22:24] BS: Btw hope you've heard B---- lost in the election. Till 24th everybody thought he is the sure winner but things changed. We have commited everything to God in prayer,   He knows best.

[08/03, 23:06] (I replied): Yes sister. The Lord knows what is best for him, for the family, for the church, and for all of us.

Winning or losing, the main burden is gaining Christ either way. The Lord's main concern is His gaining us and we gaining Him. He achieves this, either way. Whichever way He leads us, that is the best way. For us, Christians, all is gain, and it's always a win-win situation.

So, we praise Him for every thing. Amen.

[10/03, 13:55] (The brother replied): Amen Bro. Glory be to God. Whatever  happened is immaterial. Our thoughts and His thoughts are .. you know. I gracefully accepted the result with joy because He knows what is best. Before the result is out i have convinced every members of the family to accept either way. In that way our faith in the Lord remain strong and even stronger. My supporters were amazed when they see  me and my family unmoved by the negative result. Thank you for the support and concerned for our spiritual life. Hope every one at home is fine by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

After this conversation, deep within I felt the Lord had worked all things together for good. A week later, another leading brother called me expressing what he felt before the Lord concerning the present situation of the saints and the church in Shillong. We then prayed together; that's the best we could do. The church belongs to the Lord and He knows how to shepherd His church. 

Then the Lord burdened me to contact a family and sent a message 

Dear Brother F and Sister A,

Trust all is well. As fellow members of the Body of Christ we have been praying for the church in Shillong, and for the brothers and sisters who bear the Lord’s testimony.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Watch, stand firm in the faith, be full-grown men, be strong. Let all your matters be done in love. 

Keep in touch and in fellowship.

2 Timothy 4:22

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. 

Much grace to all of you and let us uphold one another in prayer.

Since these conversations, deep within I felt like a big log of burden was lifted up and taken away. My sky became very clear concerning the church in Shillong! A week later, the brother who called me a week ago called again and fellowshipped how the Lord has cleared up the cloudy situation. We praised and thanked the Lord, and prayed together over the phone. Since then, we decided to pray together once a week, especially for the church in Shillong and the many local churches all over Meghalaya. And today morning, he called again for prayer, testifying what the Lord has been doing in Meghalaya. Praise the Lord!

Lord, bless the church in Shillong and recover all the local churches all over Meghalaya!
