Choragus

…This will turn out to salvation through… the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:19

The Spirit of Jesus Christ is the bountiful supply. The Greek word for bountiful supply refers to the supplying of all the needs of the chorus by the choragus, the leader of the chorus. This bountiful supply of the all-inclusive Spirit of Jesus Christ is for us to magnify Jesus Christ by living Him.… First, we live Christ; then we magnify Him.… While Paul was in the Roman prison, he did not shame Christ but magnified Christ by his living of Him every day. ( CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 1, “The Central Line of the Divine Revelation,” p. 511)

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure. Phil. 2:12-13

The bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is the means through which God operates in us for His good pleasure. This has been my experience all these days. Especially in the last seven weeks when we did the proofreading of the New Testament Recovery Version in four Indian languages in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.  All that was done was fully attributed to the God who operated in us. It would be foolish to think ourselves of accomplishing anything. For we were not capable in any way. It was God who operated in us Who did the willing inwardly and the working outwardly for His good pleasure. 

My personal experiences are a testimony to the truth of God operating in me through His bountiful supply. For every need, I mean literally every need, the Lord gave me the timely solution to meet the need. The campus we were in was an hour's drive away from the main city For every need, I need to find ways to meet it immediately. To buy food, medicine, stationery, or for any other needs, the Lord gave me the right people at the right time through whom I could fulfill the need on time. To me, that was a miracle. Totally a stranger in that land, I did not speak the local language and did not have any transportation even, but all needs were met in a timely manner. For a medical check-up, for airport dropping, for dining out, for shopping or a day's tour, or for fellowship and spiritual meeting, literally in every matter, I marvel at the way the Lord came in did all the works on time. The Lord as the bountiful Spirit was the Choragus to meet every need. Since I was assigned the responsibility of meeting all these needs, my brothers often called me a "choragus" because of the Choragus operating in me.

After everything was completed and came back home, I was assigned to give a concluding word on God operating in us as the bountiful Spirit, the Choragus. It was so timely again to speak on the truth that I have just experienced. What a grace! What a faithful Choragus!
