A Visit to a Cousin

The Lord's promises are true and I always claim them until they are fulfilled in my life. One such promise is the promise of household salvation.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household. Ac 16:31

Now, all my immediate family members are saved. My prayer is for the next level, for the salvation of my uncles and aunts, and cousins. One such is my cousin who got married last year and is now settled in New Delhi. Two weeks ago I received information that his wife had delivered a baby boy. Last Lord's day night we went to visit them at their residence in Ashram, New Delhi, and gifted him some gifts. The material gifts include Baby Care products, New Born Baby Diapers, and a set of Messages for Building Up New Believers and Shepherding Materials.

Since my prayer burden for them is that the whole family would be saved, I took this visit as an opportunity to preach the gospel and led them to salvation. His wife is a Catholic and he himself is not very clear about what he believes into. There were two other cousins of my cousin's wife. Therefore, I preached the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ starting from God the Creator and His creation, the fall of man, the redemption accomplished through the God-man Jesus Christ, and how to believe into Him and receive Him. Then, I led them all to receive the Lord in a fresh way by helping them to pray with me the sinner's prayer for salvation which they all prayed willingly. I did this just to make sure that they truly believe into the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

To me, every family member, every friend, and everyone I meet, if they are not yet saved, the best thing to speak to them is about the true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the best gift and the best words I can minister to them. In addition, I did have fellowship with them about family matters and their future plan. 

The Lord was with us and I truly enjoyed the Lord's presence in all the speaking and preaching. Thank the Lord for such a wonderful opportunity! When the time is ripe, they will also be introduced to the saints in the church in New Delhi.

May the Lord continue to speak to them through the word of God spoken to them, and may they grow in life.
