Beginning in Hindi

 Today, the Lord gave us a new beginning as we had our first brothers' fellowship of the new year 2026. Our prayers, morning revival, and fellowship all began in Hindi and ended with Hindi. Since I first came to Gurugram in 2005, I have been serving in this city for the Lord's testimony. At least after twenty years of living and serving in Gurugram, the Lord led me to manage the Hindi language, though I am still yet to be more fluent in spiritual terms. Finally, I could make it in Hindi. In fact, yesterday I had the feeling to fellowship with a brother who was visiting us from Mathura, to stay back with us for two more days to attend the Lord's table meeting in Gurugram, as they have not been able to meet in Mathura due to the persecution going on there. After consideration, he obliged to my request and the entire fourteen saints stayed back. Today, they enjoyed their day indoors and outdoors, blending, and they all joined the prayer meeting of the church in Gurugram. Later on, they all helped in preparing for tomorrow's love-feast, on the Lord's day. The saints from Mathura are all Hindi-speaking saints. Their staying back was a great boost to us in our exercise of speaking and praying in Hindi.

In our brother's fellowship, everything was in Hindi because we care for a Hindi-speaking brother, and at the same time, the Lord used his presence for us to pray and fellowship in Hindi. In our prayer, morning revival, and fellowship, I also used only Hidni for the first time. Though I could do without it, I chose to speak in Hindi henceforth, for the sake of the Lord's move among the local saints.

After we fellowship all the practical points in Hindi, we also had time of prayer-reading the Bible verses the Lord gave me for the church and for myself for this year, the following Bible verses in Ezekiel 34:26, 27; 36:9-11, 37

और मैं उन्हें और अपनी पहाड़ी के आस पास के स्थानों को आशीष का कारण बना दूंगा; और मेंह को मैं ठीक समय में बरसाया करूंगा; और वे आशीषों की वर्षा होंगी।

यहेजकेल 34:26

और मैदान के वृक्ष फलेंगे और भूमि अपनी उपज उपजाएगी, और वे अपने देश में निडर रहेंगे; जब मैं उनके जूए को तोड़ कर उन लोगों के हाथ से छुड़ाऊंगा, जो उन से सेवा कराते हैं, तब वे जान लेंगे कि मैं यहोवा हूँ।

यहेजकेल 34:27

और देखो, मैं तुम्हारे पक्ष में हूँ, और तुम्हारी ओर कृपादृष्टि करूंगा, और तुम जोते-बोए जाओगे;

यहेजकेल 36:9

और मैं तुम पर बहुत मनुष्य अर्थात इस्राएल के सारे घराने को बसाऊंगा; और नगर फिर बसाए और खण्डहर फिर बनाएं जाएंगे।

यहेजकेल 36:10

और मैं तुम पर मनुष्य और पशु दोनों को बहुत बढ़ाऊंगा; और वे बढ़ेंगे और फूलें-फलेंगे; और मैं तुम को प्राचीनकाल की नाईं बसाऊंगा, और पहिले से अधिक तुम्हारी भलाई करूंगा। तब तुम जान लोगे कि मैं यहोवा हूँ।

यहेजकेल 36:11

परमेश्वर यहोवा यों कहता है, इस्राएल के घराने में फिर मुझ से बिनती की जाएगी कि मैं उनके लिये यह करूं; अर्थात मैं उन में मनुष्यों की गिनती भेड़-बकरियों की नाईं बढ़ाऊं।

यहेजकेल 36:37

In the afternoon, our church prayer meeting was also conducted fully in Hindi, although a few saints prayed in English. All the burdens were released in Hindi, and the prayers were offered mostly in Hindi. I myself had the grace to exercise my Hindi in all my prayers to the Lord. 

Later, in the evening, we had a home meeting with a brother's family. That meeting too was fully conducted in Hindi. The Lord was so sovereign that the message we pursued was on God's Economy. We pursued the message in Hindi. Though I wanted more of the Hindi-speaking saints to share more, a sister asked a question on Genesis 3:24 to me from what I ministered a few weeks ago. In answering her question, I covered the entire God's economy, the creation of man, the fall of man, the redemption of the fallen man through the redemption accomplished by Christ on the cross, and how God is accomplishing His divine economy through the redeemed men on earth.

Today, the first brother's fellowship of the year, the first prayer meeting of the church, and the first home meeting of the year all began in Hindi. May the Lord fulfill His divine purposes and promise to the church.
