Brotherly Fellowship to the Young Ones

Yesterday I was invited to join the blending meeting of the saints with the trainees from Korea and India. As the meeting began and I observed the young saints, I was burdened for them. I chose Hymns 472, which we all sang and enjoyed; a hymn on consecration. Then I ministered to them on loving the Lord and consecrating to the Lord based on Mary's noble deed in Matthew 26:6-13.

Matthew 26:7-8A woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of ointment of great value, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste? 

Matthew 26:13Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told as a memorial of her. 

Since the majority of the saints are younger ones, I shared the word of God with testimonies, even of my own. The points of truth on loving the Lord and serving the Lord being supported with living testimony of life experiences. I ministered until I released the burden within me. In loving the Lord is full submission and obedience. Such consecrated lives will be blessed by the Lord. And I challenged all the young ones to simply love the Lord, seek the Lord's perfect will in every matter, and not to run after money, fame, position, and world things. The ministering then concluded with the same hymn followed by strong prayers of consecration. Many of the young ones prayed and consecrated afresh to the Lord one by one. It was indeed a wonderful time of blending.

Stanza 4 of Hymn 472 which we enjoyed repeatedly is thus. 

But the souls who love Him truly,Let woe come or bliss,These will count their dearest heart's bloodNot their own, but His.Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,Give me love like this,Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,Give me love like this.

Even the parent and elder ones who joined the meeting testified that the ministry of the word and testimony meant so much to them as well. Even elderly saints still need to love the Lord and consecrate themselves to the Lord. 

After the meeting, I was burdened to lead one new gospel friend, who attended the blending, to the Lord. With a few sentences of gospel message I led her to call upon the name of the Lord and led her to receive the Lord in prayer, which she willingly did. To the joy of the sisters who met her first and invited her to the blending, she was also introduced to the local saints for follow up shepherding. May the Lord grace her to be a remaining fruit.

That was how I enjoyed the blending with the saints on the Lord's day evening in the church in Hyderabad.
