Fellowship with Seekers

The Lord has reserved His remnants all over India. And He knows how to introduce them to the saints for fellowship at the right time. He works in a mysterious yet amazing way to bring the seekers into contact with us. Last week, two groups of seekers were introduced to us and I am privileged to participate in fellowshipping with them.

An Apostle and An Evangelist

A brother who reckoned and introduced himself as an apostle and an evangelist was in touch with me for the past two years. We only fellowshipped over the phone and decided to meet one day. Last week he called me and came with another co-pastor to visit us in Gurugram. 

He was saved from a right-wing nationalist religious extremist outfit. He used to be a key national leader, speaker, and trainer of that outfit that attempts to vainly wipe out Christians in India. But he came face to face with the Lord in a very miraculous and drastic life or death situation that forced me to believe into the Lord Jesus Christ as the true and living God. He has a personal encounter with the Lord directly without any go-between. Since then, the very faith he vehemently opposed once is now the very faith he vigorously preaches. This is a similar case with Saul of Tarsus who became the apostle Paul in Acts 9. 

This brother came to fellowship for two days and joined the meetings on the Lord's day. Seeing is believing. I did not speak much but simply invited him to join the meeting on the Lord's day. I also took him for home meetings, for a time of truth pursing and fellowship on "The Vision of the Age." The Lord spoke to him through his fellowshipping with the members of His Body. I need not say too much. He saw the church life being practiced in an organic way with most of the saints functioning. He was so impressed by our faith, beliefs, and practices. He himself commented that this is the only Christian group he saw practicing the patter as shown in the New Testament. I simply did my best to give him the best hospitality possible; taking care of his accommodation and love-feast, and fellowship. Actions speak louder than words. He was so enthralled and wanted to meet with us again and in fact "tie-up" with us, if possible. May the Lord lead Him and us for His move in India.

A Seeking Couple

A sister was met by one of our brothers at an ATM booth. She then began investigating our faith, beliefs, and practices as she herself was aware of other cult groups operating in Gurugram. When the saints visited her at her home for the first time all her questions and doubts were cleared. Now, a home meeting has been set up in her home every Monday evening. 

Last Monday I was invited to visit the family. It was my first visit and I simply kept myself open to the Lord for His leading and speaking. As I met the couple and listened to whatever they had to say, the Lord gave me a deep feeling within to minister to them the basic of the Christian life by starting off with the mystery of human life, even though they have already been Christians for years. I began with a simple question if they knew that God created man with three parts- spirit, soul, and body. The sister's reply was an emphatic no. Therefore, I used relevant Bible verses to show them the three parts of man, with a brief expounding on the function and purpose of each part.

The couple was so excited and received much supply of life. They testified that though they have been Christian for years now, they have never studied nor understood the Bible in this way. They requested if they could enjoy such fellowship on the word on a daily basis. They even suggested that they would like to come and meet with us on Lord's days even though they have been already associated with another Christian group. I only told them they are always welcome for a fellowship if they would so desire. The choice is theirs.

These two fellowships with seekers were very supplying to me as well. I have been enjoying the ministry day by day, and when there is an outlet to flow out, it was such a joy; to me and to those to whom I ministered. May the ministry of the word continue to supply life to them and to me as well, day by day. May the Lord recover their enjoyment of Him in His word and also recover them for His testimony.
