Pure Pressure

In the world, people have been influenced by their peers for good or for bad. Peer pressure is one directing force that affects people's behaviour. Evil companions do corrupt good moral. Likewise, good companions do correct evil manner.

In the church life, saints are my companions, especially, my brothers with whom I have been coordinating with for many practical and spiritual matters of the church. I definitely have been under pure pressure, in many cases. Often, I had my views on certain matters but I had been gradually adjusted by the pure pressure that emanates from my companion brothers. What a salvation! Where my shortages were, there, my companions filled the gaps. In this way, for a couple of things and decisions, I have been influenced by pure pressure. Thank God, its all for good! Hallelujah!

What a curse it could have been if there were no godly companions! What a shortage it could have been to act as a lone wolf! In the age of the Body, individual spiritual giant meant nothing to God nor to Satan. What a salvation to be in the companionship of the brothers in the church!

The past few days, we have had a good number of fellowships. A group of brothers were "brainstorming" in fellowship for the practical carrying out of the video training in Delhi or Gurugram. From taking decisions to taking actions, we all have learned to take the way of the Lord often practically directed by pure pressure from the brothers' fellowship. Step by step, the Lord trained us; adjusted us, and made us pliable, and all the while, blended us all together!

I believe, this is what it means to be blended in the Body. Of course, through the cross, by the Spirit, for the building up of the Body. 

Pure pressure for perfecting and building up in the Body, through the Body, and by the Body.
