Fellowship with a Brother's Family

The Lord has been faithfully taking care or His move and His testimony in India. Many serving ones' family have been serving in coordination with the local saints for the furtherance of the Lord’s move and the strengthening of the Lord’s testimony. In Inida, at least I can say for myself, that the brothers coming to serve in India are rendering tremendous help to the local saints. I am one one of the many beneficiaries. For this, I worship and thank the Lord for His special grace and blessing. Many have come to serve and have gone back for different services. That has been a regular practice now. It helps in blending the saints and building up the Body practically. 

On the 29th of May, my family got the opportunity to fellowship over lunch with a brother's family who has faithfully been serving in this country for a score year less two. Though we meet for the work fellowship and trainings frequently, but this was the only time we could spend time in a way of family blending. Though we both brothers have been coordinating in the Lord’s move here, we never had any natural relationship or also with any others. All our relationship is in the realm of the church life as brothers in Christ. Natural relationship must be completely avoided in the church life. In this regard, I feel, the proper relationship has been maintained. So there should not be any special feeling as such when the Lord’s arrangement makes adjustement in the place and area of our service. My brother also took the Lord’s arrangement of his service change in a positive way. This is,  indeed, a proper attitude. 

When my brother's change of service was formally announced in a weekly coworkers fellowship by a brother with the view that we all are in God’s army and we obey the Lord’s sovereign arrangement as and when it happens, we all had only one answer, amen. Since the brother asked me to share too, I simply echoed what other brothers had shared concerning being under the Lord’s sovereignty and accepting whatever the Lord as the Head arranges. I testified of how in this way of fellowship and arrangement in the Body, I had also been led from one service to the other, and one place to the other. First, the call to be a trainee, then the sending to Delhi, then to Gurugram and so forth. Only one word answer to the Master's command, "Amen!"

My wife and my elder daughter stayed overnight for fellowship the day before we had the lovefeast. We took every opportunity to fellowship and blend with the saints whenever possible. Since our children prefered fastfood, we enjoyed lunch together at Macdonald Vasant Vihar, Delhi. Our children and spouse had a wonderful time of blending. We brothers too fellowshipped on some important move of the Lord in India. Whether in India or elsewhere, we are all in the Body, serving together for God’s divine goal.

Thank the Lord for the Lord’s blessing upon my brother in India. Thank the Lord for the many ways He led my brother in coordinating for the Lord’s move in India. Many saints, I myself, and the Lord remembers his function while in India. Many of these experiences, whatever, will be a treasured memory as a sweet remembrance even unto the kingdom age!

Lord, continue to anoint and blessing my brother in his function whatever and wherever. Much grace upon the family with new changes. All to the glory of the Sovereign God whom we serve! Amen.
