Brothers Blending

Two days were sanctified for the coming together of the responsible brothers of all the churches in India to fellowship and blend with brother Ron Kangas. Due to visa related issue brother Ron Kangas could not make it to India this time, though we still could fellowship with him on video conference for an hour's session over Skype. Nevertheless, the brothers' coming together was not hindered. We still met and fellowshipped together and entered into four selected messages from the Crystallization-study of Numbers. It was a wonderful time of blending. 

Thirty years have elapsed since the first church in India was raised up. Thirty years after, the Lord has blessed His testimony in India abundantly. I am blessed to be graced to be a part of the Lord’s move and blessing in India, so are with all the saints in India. The constitution in the being of the brothers have been much strengthened throughout the years. The supply from the Body in the form of trainings, perfecting, fellowships, visitations, blending, etc., have helped us, the saints in India, a lot. For this, I worship the Lord. The Head, Christ, shepherds His Body through His Body!

As we brothers were being gathered together, we enjoyed the Lord's shepherding through His speaking. All the brothers were and are one. The oneness among us has been perfected throughout the years. This oneness is of no man's creation, it was and is the Triune God dispensing His rich life into each one of us in the ministry of the word through the ministers of the word in this age. We are arriving at the oneness which the Lord had prayed for in John 17, and sooner we would be graced to have been fully arrived. O, how I long and pray for that day!

The brothers bearing responsibility in various different functions in the Body for the one Body have also grown much more. Fifteen years I have been graced to enjoy the church life in India. All these years, I have seen the Lord, the Captain of the "ship" in India, sailing through storms, thunders, lightnings, and perhaps, a couple of Tsunamis. Dangerous rocks and icebergs on the path of the voyage, with some deadly sharks squeaking and sneaking threatening an attack to our voyage, yet all to no avail. Our Captain has sailed us through all thick and thin, rain and shine, day and night, safely to the shore. Now we are in the land, conquering the goodland for the building of His dwelling place. 

The past two days, last weekend, I could testify as an eye witness, of the glorious blending and oneness among the saints in India. We have been gradually brought into the oneness we have been learning and pursuing for, for years. As we gathered together, the deep feeling within me was, as described in: 

Psalms 133Behold, how good and how pleasant it is / For brothers to dwell in unity! It is like the fine oil upon the head / That ran down upon the beard, / Upon Aaron’s beard, / That ran down upon the hem of his garments; Like the dew of Hermon / That came down upon the mountains of Zion. / For there Jehovah commanded the blessing: / Life forever.  

Praise the Lord for brothers' blending! Praise the Lord for the oneness of Body of Christ being manifested in India! Praise the Lord for His testimony through His recovery in India!
