Ministry Meeting: The Will of God

But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4

The Lord's up-to-date speaking has become richer and richer as His coming again is nearer and nearer. Last weekend we enjoyed the Lord's timely speaking in the first-ever global online conference. When I first heard this arrangement, I was wondering how that will work out for the saints in India. But ultimately the churches decided to participate in this conference. The result was marvelous.

Through the churches arrangement 2908 saints attended with online prophesying, and 1921 individual attendance who attended at least one message out of the six, thereby, totaling to 4829 attendance from India. That was amazing!

Being so much impressed by this and also by the saints' response to the ministry speaking, the Lord gave me a deep burden to initiate a regular weekly ministry meeting. After prayer and fellowship with the brothers, we had our first ministry meeting after our prayer meeting today, Saturday. The verse in Acts 6:4 is very apt, we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.

The Lord's speaking in the ministry meeting today was so fresh and it keeps ringing in my ear. The ministry message today is, "The Will of God."

Ephesians

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,

1:5 Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

1:9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,

1:10 Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him;

1:11 In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

1:22 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,

God blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, all according to His will. His will was counseled in the divine Trinity for the sonship of His predestinated ones and was made known to us, to head up all things in Christ to the church according to His working in the saints.

But Satan tried his best to thwart God's will unsuccessfully, causing a universal heap of collapse through corruption. But God is undoing all that Satan had done and has been doing by delivering the saints from the corrupted heap of collapse to ultimately head up all things in Christ through the church and to the church. Therefore, the church-life is a life of heading up, and the church is the vessel for Him to do the heading up.

But how are we practically headed up? By the divine dispensing of the divine Trinity, by Christ Himself as the Life and the Light, bringing in order to reverse the collapse caused by corruption. Christ as light delivering people from darkness, Christ as life delivering people from death, and bringing in order with all things being headed up in Christ Himself. This, therefore, will ultimately issue in and consummate in the New Jerusalem!

The first ministry meeting in the church here set the record straight. We are one with God's will and are heading forward to accomplish it. I felt so blessed for all the Lord's marvelous and mysterious works in the universe, in the church, in me and my family as well. Despite the global pandemic mingled with a crisis in every earthly establishment, the Lord preserves us, protects us, and provides us with all that He deems best for us.

Halleluiah! Praise the Lord!
