“Now after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brothers in every city in which we announced the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” (Acts 15:36, RecVer)
In fellowship and coordination, three of us brothers came to visit the church in Champa last week, to meet with the saints and the leading brothers. We had three meetings with the saints and released the burden on God’s economy with the emphasis on the Triune God dispensing Himself into the tripartite man, the way to enjoy the Lord’s dispensing as an open vessel by calling upon the Lord’s name, eating His words day by day, emphasing on the trunk of God’s economy and not being distracted by various "branches and leaves." In all the meetings, we ourselves were in one accord, following the Lord’s inner leading, and ministered the word with the exercise of our spirit. I personally enjoyed the Lord’s inner flow of life among us and through us.
On Saturday, we visited the saints in Korba and continued our fellowship on the same burden, on the line of God’s economy. The saints were so much helped as they themselves testified that they were made clear of certain doubts on the truth through our face to face fellowship. With much joy, we enjoyed feasting together after the meeting. On our way back to Champa we visited a couple whom the Lord recovered after almost a year of separation.
On the Lord’s day in Champa, we ministered on the significance of the Lord’s Table Meeting emphasising on the oneness of the Body of Christ signified by the one bread and warning against the division that could creep in through "Jeroboams." We also touched that the local churches are just the procedure and the goal is the one unique Body of Christ. Therefore, the need for fellowship among the local churches and blending with one another for the building up of the Body of Christ was also made known to the saints.
In all the fellowship, we enjoyed the inward peace of the Lord and the sweet flow of life without any hindrances within. We had much freedom within to minister whatever the Lord wanted us to. This is a sure sign of the Lord’s anointing upon us and His confirmation of His desire to recover His remnants into the fellowship of the Body of Christ. Having been through these all, we commit the saints and the local churches to the Lord, the Head of the Body. As the Son of Man standing in the midst of the golden lampstands, He will carry out His work of trimming the burnt wicks and supply the oil for the churches shining.
Lord, may You continue to move in and among all the saints especially among the brothers for the full recovery of Your testimony in Chattisgarh!
