Fellowship: Chennai Serving Ones

The visit to Chennai is mainly to fellowship with one of the serving brothers whose matter had recently been critically assessed as he got entangled in a side business that was brought to our notice. Nevertheless, a word of fellowship was given once the matter came to light a year ago. The aftermath of it was what I had gone to Chennai for. Therefore, I had a personal time of fellowship with him and clarified all the points the brothers brought to us. I had been praying for him and the matter concerning him. Deep within, the Lord confirmed to me that everything will be alright. This was the opportunity for me to learn how to handle critical situation and exercise God’s wisdom in dealing with it. At the same time, it was also a perfecting lesson and a warning for the concerned brother. I got to learn to deny my soul life and obey the Lord’s leading through the brothers' fellowship. 

A week later, the matter concerning that brother was settled, though the way was long and passed through a lot of fellowship. The enemy had been trying his best to destroy and kill the function of a full-time serving brother. First, I had to ask him to submit the list of siants who got involved in the business, which he did and was later clarified. Second, a phone call from his father-in-law on three things he misunderstood. Then, a chain of fellowship with brothers physically at Guntur, Tenkasi, Chennai, and over the phone from Madku Chhattisgarh. Then, I conveyed the points of fellowship to all the brothers concerned including the brother who called me as I need to clarify his misunderstanding, after which he thanked me and also blessed me by saying, "Thank you brother! God bless you!"

Besides, in fellowship a new arrangement in Chennai office was done for a better ambience when visitors visit the literature office. We also enjoyed a day of fellowshipping with serving ones over lunch and also visited two families, whose translation service had been affected due to health and family issues. We went to encourage them to sail on in the grace of the Lord in the Tamil translation service.

In addition, I also got to visit my ex-guardian and ex-teacher while I was studying MCA in MCC Tambaram, Chennai. In both the visitation, I shared my enjoyment of the Lord and also testified of the good deeds and blessings God has been bestowing upon me. They both prayed for me and blessed me.

Chennai O Chennai, herein I truly experienced the nets of checker work with wreaths of chain work. Yes, all for the building of the temple of God, the church, the Body of Christ as in the building of temple in Jerusalem by Solomon.

“There were nets of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals that were at the top of the pillars, seven for the one capital, and seven for the second capital.” (1 Kings 7:17, RecVer)
