Unique Training

Last weekend we just enjoyed the Lord's training under the banner Serving Ones Training at Chennai. The Lord's up-to-date speaking was on the propagation of the resurrected, ascended and all-inclusive Christ as the development of the kingdom. This training was unique to me because of certain reasons. The most significant one is, there were two brothers, whom by the Lord's mercy, I can testify as my fellow brothers with whom I spend considerable time of fellowship and shepherding. One of them being my classmate from my college days and the other one whom the Lord shepherded into the church life in my locality, Gurugram, recently. It was a joy to be able to attend the training together with by brothers. Throughout the training we could fellowship and blend together as fellow serving ones. It was a blessing indeed to have brothers alongside as partners with whom I can fellowship freely and blend with. It was even more joyful when they are the ones whom the Lord has been gracing me to shepherd. As a serving one, it was a blessing to be able to shepherd new ones to the extend of bringing them to their full function in the Body and blend them with other members of the Body. This surely is the Lord's mercy and at the same time the Lord's blessing. This perhaps was the most significant time when I could attend such a training with such brothers. 

Another significant reason is, all the nine messages, though high on truth and revelation, brothers could grasped it, though may not be cent per cent. They both testified of the light and revelation they have seen through the Lord's speaking. The training was truly worth attending. I was especially glad that brothers could come further and deeper into the depth of the word of God. Message on being witnesses of the resurrected, ascended and all-inclusive Christ was so apt and subjective that one of the brothers could experience it right away as he went to meet his cousin with this burden and goal of testifying Christ. The message on keeping ourselves in the one flow of the Lord's work for the shepherding of the church, and receiving the Lord's mercy to be saved from Satan’s schemes was so apt that the brothers' understanding on the one flow of the Lord’s work was strengthened. The Lord has been recovering us from different Christian backgrounds and teachings. This message clarified and strengthened the vision of the Lord’s move and the burden on the earth today. And the message on the divine commission according to the heavenly vision for the continuation of the book of Acts in the unique flow of the divine stream was an all-inclusive dose to gain and preserve all of us fully to carry out the divine commission under the heavenly vision. My brothers have both told and testified to me personally that now their vision is clear, in fact, much clearer than before and that they would be faithful to the heavenly vision of the Bible and the ministry to carry out the heavenly vision. May we all be preserved unto the end by His grace. 

Another reason for the uniqueness of this training is, it confirms that we are in Acts 29. Actually, the book of Acts has only 28 chapters. But this book seems to have no ending. The last verse in this book reads:

Acts 28:31Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, unhindered.

The proclaiming of the kingdom of God and the teaching of the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ continues... It started with the Lord’s resurrection, ascension and descension on the day of Pentecost, and continues with the disciples in the book of Acts, and still continues with us today, and will continue until the Lord comes back. Therefore, in the proclaiming of the kingdom of God and the teaching of the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, we are continuing the book of Acts, the book that ended at chapter 28,  verse 31 is now being carried forward with us in our time as Acts 29. What a blessing to be a part of the Lord's move on earth today! 

As the apostle Paul, I look to the Lord for grace to be able to declare with all faithful and boldness to men as to God, of my portion in His Body during the time He bestows and blesses me by His mercy on earth: 

Acts 26:18-19

To open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me. Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
