Special Fellowship with a Brother

As I was listening to the sharing of the visiting saints from Malaysia, one brother stood up and testified of how he would love to serve the Lord. I was surprised at his sudden declaration in India, and that too in his first visit. He happened to be one of the sons of the key brothers who brought these saints to India. Later, his father asked me if I could spend some time in fellowship with him. Then, immediately, I took that as the Lord’s leading.

Therefore, I accompanied the saints in their last shopping trip at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj. As we were all together, I started my conversation with the young brother who consecrated himself to serve the Lord. Meanwhile, I felt the need for a private place so that we could focus on the burden of the fellowship. Then, the other saints left us alone, and I had the inward freedom to openly fellowship the burden in my heart for him. Still, we walked around the mall and settled down in one of the corners where we could sit down and fellowship at length.

Initially, I let him introduce himself about his life, work, goal, Christian life, church life, etc. Then, as the Lord burdened me, I mentioned to him the need for a strong and sweet personal relationship with the Lord. For this, I encouraged him to spend personal prayer time with the Lord at least half an hour or an hour every day. And a time with the Lord in reading and studying the Bible. Besides, I also encouraged him to pray, seek, and resolve to do only the perfect will of the Lord in his life. 

In this time of personal fellowship, I also gave my own testimony of how the Lord called me to serve, how He trained me to seek, know, and do His perfect will, and how He taught me to live by faith, and how His presence has always been a blessing in my life, family life, church life, and even in my service. Then, we prayed together,  especially for the Lord's leading in his life based on all the points fellowshipped with him.

I do believe that was a life-changing moment for my dear young brother from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I do believe the Lord brought him to India for this purpose, along with other lessons he learned. I do believe my going there was for this purpose of fellowshipping with him personally. I also believe that that day, the 4th of September,  will be remembered as a special fellowship day in India in his life.

May the Lord bless my brother and gain him fully for His testimony.
