The Christian leaders in Bhopal porposed and planned for us, the ministry literature exhibition in Jabalpur. Though we did not plan it ourselves, we were encouraged to carry out the same exhibition we had been in different parts of Madhya Pradesh. Besides, there is a family who has been shepherded by a sister in the church in Mumbai that deems our shepherding visit. These two matters brought forth the burden to travel to Jabalpur.
In the morning of 13th Nov I arrived at Jabalpur train station where a senior pastor of the Full Gospel Church came to receive me. Then we went to Indian Coffee House for a time of fellowship over breakfast. There I was requested to share my testimony which I did with my heart's content and with much release of my spirit. It was my first meeting with the Christian leader and it was fitting that he know me and the ministry I represent before he introduced me further to other Christian leaders and congregations. I thanked the Lord for this sovereign arrangement of the Lord; it was indeed an ice breaking session and an introduction to one another. This testimony confirmed to the brother of the authenticity of the ministry I represents and the genuineness of the faith I believe into. Since then, he was so touched and opened for any following meetings.
Later, when my brother who was coordinating with me arrived, we all together has a fellowship over lunch where the elderly Christian leader also testified of the Lord’s work in his life.
In the night, an impromptu meeting was arranged for a group of believers where we ministered on the need for breathing, eating, and drinking the Lord for a normal Christian life and growth with a strong emphasis on the importance of the word of God that can make a Christian grow. I also shared my testimony of how the word of God as life and spirit have been my constant supply, especially in trying times.
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” (John 6:63, RecVer)
The next day being the Lord’s day, we were invited to minister the word of God first in the Full Gospel Church and then in the Assembly of God Church. In the first meeting, we ministered on the anointing Spirit and the need to be anointed through the word and exercise of the spirit. In the second meeting, we ministered on the need for growth in life by the Spirit of God in our human spirit renewing and transforming the soul with a detail explanation on how the mind, emotion, and will needs to be and can be gained fully by the Lord. And concluded with the result of such a growth that issues in a normal Christian life, a life of living Chirst as in Philippians 1:21.
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21, RecVer)
The leading pastor later took us for lunch at a five star hotel with his family. Then we went to visit a family who has been shepherded by one of the sisters in the church in Mumbai.
On Monday, we had a seminar with the Christian leaders in Jabalpur where we introduced the ministry literature with the Holy Bible Recovery Version and then exhibited the ministry books. Later, we went to visit the family of a sister who has just begun to enjoy the ministry and fellowshipped with them on various topics they requested a clarification for.
