Yearly, there is a Christian Festival(Masih Mela) conducted in a small island called Madku Dweep. As distributor of the ministry of word, we used to participate in this week-long festival. To participate in this, I just arrived Batapara where our hotel stay was booked. The train I boarded was delayed by one and half hour. I had not eaten dinner the previous day nor lunch for the day. I also urgently wanted to use the loo and wanted to bath after a long train journey. Therefore, I decided to stay back in the hotel as I thought it was too late to attend the festival for the day.
But I received a phone call from my brother inquring if I would attend the festival where we exhibited the ministry books in Hindi. After much consideration, I gave up my plan for eating, bathing, and staying back for the day. I hired an auto rickshaw and went straight to the venue. The moment I arrived the venue I ate lunch and was able to meet with seeking believers who visited our stall.
A couple who has been serving the Lord in Bilaspur visited our stall. As our brothers spoke to them, I felt the need to follow up and continued to speak, introducing the Holy Bible Recovery Version. We had a wonderful time of fellowship, wetting their appetite for the word of God. Then a meeting with another newly married couple, introducing the ministry literature, followed by a few others. In this way, my not staying back was a salvation. Had I stayed back as I planned, I would have missed all these meetings with seekers.
Thank the Lord for the living in the Body where a brother's call is a leading for me to follow the Lord. When we are not clear, we have to listen to the Body through which the Lord speaks.
Praise the Lord for the phone call that made me clear of what I should do when I was not clear.
Pray and listen to the Body, for the Lord speaks through His Body too.
