A Wedding Invite

The Lord moves in a marvelous way in which He only knows how to and when. I have just finished a long trip to North India and was considering the next plan. Some fellowships were done but nothing solid was planned yet. Basically, I was clueless about where the next ministry journey should be. Though a brother had come to fellowship with me, everything was still in the head without anything planned.

A month ago, a brother messaged me that he finally got engaged to a sister whom he dearly loved. The church brothers had confirmed the engagement. My innate response was to fellowship with him and pray with him over the answered prayer. A few days later, he called again enquiring if I could witness his wedding and perhaps minister the word as well. It was a surprise to me because I had no plan as such to travel all the way and attend his marriage. I was indecisive and requested some days to respond.

Meanwhile, I went before the Lord and considered my brother's request. The more I prayed about it, the more I had the peace of Christ within and as I checked my schedule and all other practical maters everything just seem right! The day, the timing, and on top of all that, a wide opening for the next ministry journey!

First, the matter of releasing and introducing the New Testament Recovery Version in Mizo as fellowshipped by the brothers came into the picture. After many fellowships, a day was fixed for a one-day seminar in Aizawl, a week after the brother's wedding day. Then, the matter of visiting Christian leaders and Burmese saints who are refugees came up. Then, the distribution trip to Nagaland and the visit to Guwahati and Kolkata were planned. Everything seems to fall in place. It was like a domino effect, a brother's phone call wedding invite triggered all the subsequent plans one by one.

Besides, my mother had called me two months ago about a visit home as I did not for quite some time now. The burden to spend some quality time with my own relatives also came right in place. Then, when I mentioned my one-week visit to Manipur to a brother he also has the burden to come to fellowship with the saints. Therefore, a church visit was planned as well. 

I was in awe to see all these unveiled one by one and that too, triggered by one call from a brother who was recently recovered back in his function and fellowship in the Body. The Lord is the Lord, He knows when and how to lead His children. My only responsibility is to look out for the Lord's leading through circumstances and His inner anointing.

Although the trip has not yet begun, I believe that the Lord has already accomplished it. I am just a witness chosen by His mercy to co-labor with Him in His vineyard. The journey has been scripted, I simply have to play it out according to the Director of this script, the Lord Jesus Christ! Lord, bless this upcoming ministry journey to the North East!

The wedding invite must indeed be a wedding invitation of the Lord Jesus as a reminder to prepare His bride so that He can come back soon for the great Wedding Day when all the overcoming saints can call, Come Lord Jesus!

He who testifies these things says, 
Yes, I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
