Impromptu Gospel Meeting

On the 20th February I was busy planning for official trip to the South when I received a surprise call from a brother who used to pray with me for the salvation of his whole family. I was invited for the gospel preaching to his unsaved grandparents who just called them for prayer. Though I could have said no but I decided to prioritise this shepherding visit over my other works. Therefore, I agreed to visit the family for the gospel sake. 

When I actually arrived at the home of the family the scene was very wonderful. The grandfather was on his sick bed and grandmother sitting beside him. On one side, the two married daughters and on the other side, myself with the grandsons. This was in the bedroom of the grandfather on his sick bed. 

As the stage was set and the opportunity given to me, I preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to the grandparent especially letting them know their need to receive the divine and eternal life of God and showed them the vanity of this world. The world can only break humanity and deprive people of peace and joy that comes only from God. I also testified to them how the devil cannot harm the children of God though he may be able to tempt them, as the life of God is in the believers. After the gospel preaching and testimony, I gave an option to them if they would like to receive the life of God by believing into the Lord Jesus Christ, the only true and living God. To this they agreed, and I led them to pray the sinner's prayer to believe into the Lord Jesus Christ and receive the divine and eternal life. O what a joy to lead sinners to salvation! 

After the gospel preaching and meeting,  it was time for the church in Gurugram weekly perfecting meeting. Since the two responsible brothers were busy, I had to take the lead to help the saints dive into the truth. Since I was already in the family's room and the time for the meeting had come, I decided to host the church perfecting meeting online via Zoom meeting from the same room. The truth lesson we pursued was on "God’s Economy." It was an apt lesson to be learned from the bedroom of new believers.

After the meeting, I left good to pray for the family, for the grandparents' health, and for their experience and enjoyment of the full salvation of God. Therefore, the saints prayed for the family and all the saved members of the family also prayer afterwhich I did the concluding prayer.

When I was driven back by the brother who picked me up, I testified to him how the Lord was so faithful to answer our prayers for the family's salvation which we started praying since  the last National College Students Training in Chennai.

What a home meeting! What a joy to see prayer answered!

The word of God on being ready all the time for the gospel had become so subjective to me.

“Proclaim the word; be ready in season and out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:2, RecVer)
