Yesterday night being the last day of last year, as usual, the church had a meeting of the saints. This time, the first one hour was a combined meeting of the churches in New Delhi, Gurugram, and Mathura. We had a solid time of corporate prayer meeting with burdens released on prayers towards the holy land, the holy city, and the holy temple as Daniel prayed in Daniel 9.
Now when Daniel came to know that the writing had been signed, he went to his house (in his upper room he had windows open toward Jerusalem) and three times daily he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave thanks before his God, because he had always done so previously. (Daniel 6:10, RecVer)
After our corporate prayer, the brothers released some specific burdens for the coming year 2026 in line with the recovery of the land (the all-inclusive Christ), the city (the church as the kingdom of God), and the temple (the church as the house of God). To gain Christ, we had a prayer on strengthening our daily morning revival, prayer life, and truth pursuing. For the church as the kingdom of God, we prayed for more building among the saints in the small groups to live a small group living. For the the church as the house of God, we had consecration prayer to offer to Lord all thag we have and we are. May the Lord bless the churches in North India.
A brother also helped us in the matter of offerings from Ezekiel 45 and 46, the four kinds of offerings: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. This basically means that we have to live Christian life as an offering life daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.
Another brother helped us with the need for our truth constitution, building, prayers, and offerings. Along with this, some practical points to consider one the kast day of the year; review your life for failures, offenses, sins, and unforgiveness and repent for all these drawbacks and have a new beginning. And the burden ended with some practical pints to consider:
- Managing Money: We must learn to mangae our money. Where our treasure is, there our heart will also be.
- Time Schedule: Spend time for morning revival, truth pursuing, prayer, church meeting, gospel preaching, and shepherding.
- Truth Constitution: Daily Bible reading.
After this session, we also had another session for the church in Gurugram as usual, the "counting blessing meeting" along with prayers and consecration, where the saints shared their top portion of their experiences and enjoyment of Christ in 2025. This meeting concluded with hymn 16, worshiping God the Father for His greatness as we entered the new year, and praiseed Him by singing hymn 7.
Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One!
Let us praise Him! Let us praise Him!
Praise our God, the Three in One!
Give Him glory; give Him glory!
Wondrous things for us our God hath done!
Last year ended with praise, worship, thanksgiving, and giving glory to God and we entered the new year with the same.
Hallelujah for the end of the old!
Hallelujah for the beginning of the new!
