Office and Church Responsibility

This month has really been very hectic, not in a negative sense, but very positively. Two important matters occur simultaneously; office and church responsibility: The five weeks propagation in Gurugram with the saints from FTTT and FTTND, and very important and urgent official works need to be accomplished before the due date. I had no choice but to attend to the official responsibility and at the same time also participate in the church propagation. I have been learning to balance my time and take care of both.

In my official service, the Lord taught me a very important lesson of trusting Him in every matter. We had to file a Share allotment as per the Board Resolution of the company. After labouring to gather all important documents for three weeks, I was told bluntly by our CA that it could not be filed. The reason given to me was absurd. The investment by Shareholders has to be within a time period of six months. I never heard of such a rule? I have even confronted the CA with my past experience of filing the same without this clause. But he squarely rejected my application with his own reason with a tag that "the company laws have been updated." I simply requested him to relook into the book of company law and do the necessary. I maintained my calm as I explained to him that I had done all the hard work according to his suggestion, and that how could he simply reject the filing? 

I left the accountant office in a state of shock. My mind was wondering how all the other board members and the brothers involved in this matter would feel after doing all the hard work and even contemplated writing an apology letter for the mistake. But deep within, I turned to the Lord to let things happen and honor the fellowship that has been done with the brothers. I had no option, but to simply pray and pray. Later, in the evening, the CA called me saying that it may be possible and they will try to file the Shares allotment. O what a sigh of relief! A few days later, I received a confirmation from the government that the filing was successful. I simply praised the Lord!   

A similar incident transpired with the updation of our company's KYC with all the existing directors' KYCs. All KYCs were done until the due date of today, the 25th April, except for a brother who is a foreign national. Things turn out to be complicated by virtue of his being a foreigner with a  directorship in India. I was pushing the CA to do things on time, but due to lack of documents, my pushing only irritated him. I turned to the Lord in prayer to handle this matter as well. The Lord just confirmed deep within that all is well and it will be well. Well, the due date has come, and the work was not done? But the miraculously the government postponed the final filing date to June 15, 2019, and gave me a breather time to finish all the works. Even, in this matter, I experienced the Lord's keeping grace.

On the propagation side, till date, the Lord has released 10 baptisms and 10 solid open homes for follow up shepherding as we prayed. Both office and church responsibility were being carried out simultaneously, and the Lord is faithful to grace me on and on.

Besides, an official letter for one of the international trainings that will happen in India for the first time and for this a lot of WhatsApp, Skype, and email fellowship have been going on. After many adjustments and exchange of emails, finally, the official mail was sent out today. This was another responsibility among others.

Experiencing the Lord's leading and blessing all these days amidst busy schedules...
