Recovery of Corporate Prayer and Pursuit

Last week, I had a strong feeling that the corporate prayer and truth pursuit that we used to have before the daily office hours be resumed even for those who are not physically present at the Gurugram office. Accordingly, I sent a message to those who used to join before and put them into a group for the weekday's pursuit. When we started such a corporate pursuit, the enjoyment of the word has been much increased. The book for pursuit the Lord burdened me was "The Recovery of God's House and God's City" which was also in line with the current burden in the local churches and the present speaking of the Lord to all the churches. Through such a corporate pursuit I was able to recover my sharing of ministry excerpts to some WhatsApp groups in a way of spiritual food supply.

Once the first book was fully read and pursued, we chose relevant books, "A God Who Hides Himself" and "Christ is All Spiritual Matter and Things". After these books, we will be pursuing "The Gospel of God" and continue to pursue book by book as many as and as long as we can. Such pursuit also serves as a spiritual nourishment to all participants and a food supply to those with whom the excerpt has been shared. This should be a regular practice in the church life.

In fact, it is in this way of pursuit that I could complete the Life-study of the Bible of 1984 messages which took me over eight years and ten months. Day by day, here a little there a little, regularly and continuously, in the course of time, a lot has been gained. It is like little drops of water, dripping continuously and finally filling up the whole vessel. 

I knew the value of truth pursuit, both individually and corporately. Therefore, since the time I came to serve in the literature service, I made it mandatory at least in the Gurugam office for all the serving ones. But not forcing everyone to join, but taking the lead to pursue the truth persistently and opening the pursuit for others to join. I further open up the pursuit to others who may like to join, who are not serving in the office, and also to those who live outside of Gurugram. In this way, a good number of serving ones and saints were also helped in their corporate pursuit of the truth.

Without such a daily regular pursuit, it is not easy to regularly pursue the truth alone. This is a wonderful opportunity for all and it helped me a lot too. This is how we eat and feast on the word of God corporately for our spiritual education, inward constitution, and also for our growth in life unto full maturity.
