The church in Gurugram has finally conducted a proper marriage for the first time today! What a blessing it is to witness the Lord opening the door for many marriages to come. The church has indeed been blessed with many young working saints who love the Lord, faithful to the truth, enjoying the church life, and are of marriageable age. Though we had some hiccups in the past concerning marriages, this time the Lord led us through to witness a wonderful testimony of two saints getting married.
As a brother in the church, I have been involved from the initiation of this fellowship between a brother from Delhi and a sister from Gurugram. After months of waiting, fellowship between the two families under the covering of the church brothers in Delhi and Gurugram transpired twice. Then, a couple of practical fellowship followed, together with many meetings of prayers. Then, finally, the 14th of February 2025 was decided for the wedding testimony meeting.
I personally picked up the burden to accomplish whatever I need to to accomplish, especially in coordination with the sister's family. I also took the initiative to draft the meeting schedule with much consideration for the ministry of the word. As these points were brought to fellowship, with some adjustments, the brothers confirmed the schedule and the meeting direction was set.
Many saints also participated in the practical arrangement, especially, the young people. I was glad to witness what potential the young people have if channeled properly. They all were serving voluntarily with satisfaction.
Besides all the background works, me and my wife had our portion in sharing testimony for the bride. My wife testified of all the good things she knew about the bride from the first time they met till today. I gave a future testimony for the couple from today going forward as married couple. I exhorted them to be one as in God's eyes a married couple is one flesh. To maintain this oneness, they must exercise to fellowship and pray together for every matter. As married couple, they must also love one another. Since our human love is fragile, the divine love is needed by which the husband and wife can love one another eternally. With these few words, I also participated in the prayer for the blessing of the newly married couple and declared the two as married, henceforth, husband and wife.
Later after the meeting, we; a brother, myself, and the elder brother of the bride, coordinated to drop the newly married couple to their new home in Delhi Dwarka. There too, we were privileged to have the first home meeting and prayer with the newly married couple. A responsible brother and his wife joined us too.
What a blessing to witness and participate in this wedding testimony meeting in Gurugram! As the church prayed and blessed the couple, the Lord will definitely bless the couple. I trust this is also a testimony to many young people who will be married.
May the Lord bless the couple!
