Director's Duties

As a serving one in the literature service which is registered to the Government of India for all legal formalities and conformity to the law of the land, we, a group of brothers, serve together as directors. Even within this group, two directors are mostly in the operation of the company of which my responsibility is to carry out many practical working out of the need of the company. 

Since 2010, I have been brought onboard serving as one of the directors. And since then, I have been learning how to serve as a director. God is my witness, I have never assumed a position of being a director as such in a matter of position to boast or show off before man, but whenever needed I did stand on that ground and do the works that needs to be done, but mostly for official purposes.

These days many of the works of "directing" needs to be done. Since the company has been blessed by the Lord to cater to the need of this country, India, for the spiritual supply of food to all the children of God in at least ten Indian languages and distributing the ministry literature all over India,  many "directorial" decisions have to be taken. In a very practical term, we have had many "brainstorming sessions" to consider and come to a conclusion about some crucial matters. Of course, the difference here is, our brainstorming session has been with much exercises of the spirit with prayer, and fellowshipping matters together with the brothers and then seeking the leading of the Lord in fellowship and oneness to make the final call. Many of my office hours have been consumed on considering people for the service and dealing with almost all practical things of the company.  The Lord has been my wisdom and grace to do all that He wants me to do.

All this, said David, has He made clear by a writing from the hand of Jehovah upon me, all the details of the pattern. And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and take courage and do it; do not be afraid or dismayed, for Jehovah God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until the completion of all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah. And here are the divisions of priests and Levites for all the service of the house of God, and with you in all the work will be every willing man with wisdom for any service; also the leaders and all the people will be wholly at your command. 1 Chronicles 28:19-21

 God gave Solomon wisdom to deal with His people and built the temple in Jerusalem.  There are many spiritual lessons I am learning from the Bible concerning Solomon and the way he exercised wisdom and discernment in overseeing the people of God and the works of God. In many matters, I felt like walking on a tight rope as the cases we have been dealing with are very sensitive in nature and can have an adverse effect if not dealt with properly.  I am glad I have a group of coordinating brothers to consider every matter together; we serve in the coordination in the Body. This has been my protection and previlege to discharge the director's duties assigned to me. I can only pray the prayer of Solomon in asking God for wisdom.

Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours? 2 Chronicles 1:10

Lord, give me wisdom, discernment, knowledge, and skill to serve as Your slave to fulfill all the director's duties You have sovereignly assigned to me.
