Monthly Classmates Fellowship

Last Saturday we had our secondth monthly prayer meet with my fellow classmates, MCC MCA class of 2000. As it was a burden driven fellowship, the Lord took charge of all practical arrangements. He gave me the burden and He also gave me the grace to carry out the burden. He also gave me brothers to coordinate with. And also burden some classmates to fellowship together, though just a handful.

In the first meeting, the Lord burdened me to share my life's testimony,  and in the second meeting, He led me to share the meaning of human life. It's always best to begin with the beginning of the Bible and with the basic foundation of the Christian life. So when it was my turn to minister, I ministered the truth concerning the meaning of human life beginning with the plan of God in His creation of man with three parts and Him being the Spirit. The key Bible verses quoted were Genesis 1:26; 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; John 4:24, and 2 Timothy 4:22. The word of the Lord just flowed out of my being as I took the "Bible Study."

As I released my burden, I encouraged all present in the online meeting to share as well, making it mutual, interactive, and organic. To my surprise, every one shared too, and some did so with much conviction and even with tears. This has indeed been the timely need of all my fellow classmates. Nothing but the Lord can meet our deepest longing. For this purpose, the fellowship was initiated. And the Lord will grace us on and on.

I also expressed my twofold burden: for fellowship with fellow believers in Christ and for the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ unto the salvation of all my classmates. Added to this, was a word of encouragement to walk the narrow path when God's purpose is touched, as not many will take the way. Nevertheless, we must walk the narrow way that leads to life as in Matthew 7:13-14.

Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it.Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it. 

The word of God ministered, the fellowship we shared, and the prayer we offered were so joyous and it was truly worth the time and energy spent! May God continue to grace us for this monthly fellowship unto the fulfillment of the two fold burden He Himself bestowed upon me.

Lord, save my classmates! Lord, bless my classmates!
