Ministry of the Word to Ballari

In Ballari, on the 29th of September, three saints from the nearby city, Hubbali, joined us. We were visiting a family that needed shepherding. As the burden was for shepherding, and this being our first time to the city and first time meeting with the new family, the Lord burdened me to fellowship on a very fundamental and foundational practices for a healthy and normal Christian life.

I began by showing them God’s plan in creating man with three parts: body, soul, and spirit. Then, the process God passed through in incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and becoming the life-giving Spirit. Then, the regeneration of man, being born of God, with the Spirit dwelling in the human spirit. Then, the need to daily exercise the spirit in calling upon the Lord’s name, reading the Bible, and pray-reading some key verses, and spending personal prayer time with the Lord daily. And concluded the fellowship with prayer.

The family was so supplied by the ministry of the word. I introduced the Shepherding Materials, online version, for their pursuit, and also the Holy Bible Recovery Version for their Bible study. The father and mother testified that their son, who was a higher secondary school dropout, would never sit for spiritual fellowship or listen to the ministry of the word, but was keenly listening to the word of God and was present at the meeting throughout. Not only that, he also served us with coffee and snacks after the meeting. Their son's reaction was a great testimony to the entire family. To them, this was the first time he ever paid attention to fellowship and meetings. The daughter also testified to how much she enjoyed the ministry of the word and expressed her interest to continue enjoying the word. By the way, they all promised that they will read the Bible daily henceforth. 

After this fellowship, I realised that the Lord did not lead us any further for anything else. Therefore, the three brothers who accompanied me for the last one week ministry literature journey departed from this city after we enjoyed a meal together. And I, along with the saints from Hubbali, took another route towards Hubbali for another round of distribution. The Lord assigned certain portions for His move to certain ones. I have been learning this lesson, just to follow the Lord step by step, not to overdo or underdo. 

Lord, bless Your move and raise up Your testimony in Ballari!
