God Bless You!

God is a God of blessing. He desires to bless His children all the time. The only question is, whether we are in a condition to receive the Lord’s blessing. Though God is a God of blessing, His blessing is conditional. And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. (Deuteronomy 28:2, RecVer)

Since the past few weeks, I have been traveling for the ministry literature service. Along the journey, I have been or have talked with some brothers and sisters who loves me and who I also honors me in the Lord. While visiting or talking to each one of them, the conclusion of  all the meetings was, "God bless you!"

About a month ago, a brother called me and spoke to me about his displeasure concerning one of his family members who is under my official overseeing. He had heard about certain matters that displeased him and expressed his ingratitude to me. Though I tried to clarify over the phone about the truth of the matter and the person concerned, he did not pay heed and simply cut the phone call before I could even conclude the conversation. Later, I fellowshipped with my fellow brothers and, with much prayer, I carried out whatever was fellowshipped with me. This included the fellowship at Tenkasi with the leading brothers of the locality where the person concerned was from, then in Chennai, and then finally over the phone while I was in the midst of the distribution in Chhattisgarh. Since one of the brothers encouraged me to call and clarify the matters to the concerned brother, I prayed over much and then made the call. The Lord was indeed in all the details of fellowship and as I called and clarified the matter, this elder brother felt the matters I clarified to him were very good and this time, concluded with a word of blessing. He said, "Thank you brother, God bless you!" O what a relief! Not merely because of the word of blessing, but because of the clarification that was rendered against the enemy's strategy of creating doubts adm confusion among the saints. Praise the Lord! Christ is Victor! Hallelujah!

In my visit and fellowship with an elderly couple who loves me dearly, I received a lot of love and care. They used to be my local guardian while I was a student in Chennai. As usual, they asked me to share the word of God with them. After which, I prayed and the elderly brother also prayed. As I was about to take leave from them, they also blessed me in prayer and the parting words were, "God bless you!"

As I spent a time of fellowship with a brother and his wife, my Computer Science teacher when I was a student, the Lord led me to testify of how He called me and blessed me richly , both spiritually and physically too. They were quite encouraged by elwhat the Lord has been doing in my life. As we had our concluding prayer, the couple's last words were, "God bless you!"

Even as I met some group of Christian brothers in Chhattisgarh where we came for the annual festival, many who came, met us and received the ministry literature expressed there gratitude for introducing the ministry literature to them. Each of them had just one common conclusion for us, "God bless you!"

Thank the Lord for His blessing. GOD IS A GOD OF BLESSING AND HE BLESSES. Thank You Lord for Your blessing! Amen.
