Evaluation

Matthew 24:45
Who then is the faithful and prudent slave, whom the master has set over his household to give them food at the proper time? 

The present pandemic has many lessons to teach me and the world too. Even in the fellowship of the church brothers and the Lord's work, the pandemic has become a blessing in disguise in many untold ways as proven and testified by the brothers in many local churches in India. One of the effects is, the saints are being recovered and revived; in their spiritual life, church life, prayer life, gospel preaching life, and in the practice of the God-ordained way.

Through the fellowship in the Body, I have received a great help in the matter of evaluation. Yes, evaluation of my life, my living, and my service in the Body. The past few days have been a great blessing to me as we brothers fellowshipped on the Lord's move in India. One significant point of fellowship is, EVALUATION.

The world has changed, and should I not change it too? How long can I linger on the old ways of doing things when the whole world system has changed to adapt to the present need? Can I still depend on the past experiences and continue as before when the whole world have changed adapting to the present situation? I should not be so foolish to remain the same and stay where I was when every thing demands a change.  For the positive changes, I must be evaluated in four main areas.

• Evaluation of My Life 

• Evaluation of My Church Life

• Evaluation of My Service 

• Evaluation of My Work

My life, church life, service, and work needs to be evaluated in the light of the Lord's judgement seat. In case I fall short of the Lord's standard, I must make necessary changes and make progress as not to be left behind in the Lord's up-to-date move. Herein, I need much grace from the Lord to be one with Him and His Body in every aspect. Now that I know where changes have to be made, I look to the Lord for more grace that I may not fall short of the Lord's standard. I trust the living Lord to grace me on and on.

The brothers fellowship we just had and the full-timers training that has started and will go on for another three more days have opened the light house to me. Layer by layer I have been unveiled to see where I lagged behind. With His unveiling He will also grace me to go on and on to be one with Him. Now I simply commit myself to Him to will also accomplished the tasks He gave to me. Much grace to me for the evaluation follow up that I can meet the Lord's demand at this hour and the days, months, and years to come. 

Matthew 25:21
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master. 

May I be found faithful in carrying out all the evaluation being done.

Much grace Lord, much grace! Amen.
