Pray for Nagaland

On 18th June 2020 at 18:19 I sent out a message to a new WhatsApp group called "Pray for Nagaland" with a caption, "Nagaland for Christ and the Church". The message read:

Praise the brothers and sisters! 

This is group is formed for our prayer and fellowship concerning the Lord's move with the burden for raising up the Lord's testimony in Nagaland.

Then all the group members introduced themselves as I took the lead to do so with the release of my burdens the Lord blessed me with:

I am married to a sister from Taiwan. We both serve the Lord. Now we are blessed with 3 children. We are enjoying the church life here in Gurugram. 

The Lord has been burdening me for Nagaland since 2006 for the church life. I have visited the state a couple of times for ministry books distribution.

Once with M---- and R------ we toured Nagaland, starting from Dimapur, then Kohima, then Wokha, then Mokokchung, and back to Dimapur. We met a good number of Christian leaders and distributed the ministry books. 

Prayerfully looking to the days the Lord will raise up His testimony on the unique ground of oneness as His golden lamp stand in fellowship and oneness with the Body of Christ.

Later, I laid down the conditions for those who could be a part of this group as it was created specifically with a burden for Nagaland in fellowship with the brothers with whom I serve the Lord together in India.

If you want to include more saints in this group, please forward their names and numbers to me.

They must be those who love the Lord, enjoy the word of God, enjoy the ministry of the word, one with the ministry for the building up of the Body of Christ, and have a burden for the Lord's move and testimony in Nagaland.

Before all this group was created, the burden within me has been reigning for years. Only recently, it became manifest. In fellowship with the members of the Body, it was then confirmed. Step by step, the Lord led me to prepare the groundwork for the raising up of the Lord's testimony in Nagaland. The Lord also manifested eight brothers and sisters from Nagaland who came into the Lord's recovery and are now enjoying the church life and are one with the ministry. These saints came into the church life while In New Delhi, Kuwait, and South Korea for their studies or jobs. By the Lord's sovereignty, now we are all connected.

Of course, before creating the group and deciding to come together every Mondy night for prayer and fellowship, I also checked with each one of them. All of them agreed to be a part of the group and expressed their feeling and burden to carry out the Lord's work in coordination. 

To formally begin the weekly prayer and fellowship, today I sent the following post.

Prayer and Fellowship

Dear Saints,

 As Christians, the first and best thing we must and always do is prayer.

The rest of the work will issue out of our prayer in oneness with the Lord and with one another. 
May we consecrate our time, energy, and our being to come together to pray, in addition to praying personally.

NoteThis Monday night prayer and fellowship is a tentative schedule. For the convinience of all, we may all feel free to express what suits best. Please indicate the day and time you can fit in. We hope that all of us can be accommodated and that we can come together online to pray and fellowship.
The pattern of prayer in coordination for the Lord's move is seen here in Acts.

Acts 13:1-3
1. Now there were in Antioch, in the local church, prophets and teachers: Barnabas and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2. And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for Me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. 3. Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

May the Lord blend all the saints in the group together and prepare us, especially the saints from Nagaland, as His useful vessels to become pillars to bear His testimony.
