Life Lesson: On Time

Officialy, there are many things that go unnoticed. However, when the need arises the Lord uses people to remind me of what needs to be done. Two good examples that I experienced recently are, the renewal of our company's IEC and export related documentation matter, and my USA visa renewal.

Since last December, a brother in UAE initiated the talk on exporting the ministry books and Bibles for the saints in the churches in the Middle East. Once we were ready for exporting, a shipment forwarder hired by the consignee led us to look into many documentation matters. While preparing for export, I realised that the company's IEC needed renewal which I did immediately online and also updated all the directors' details in the government website. And after updating all legal documentation, the freight forwarder informed me that they will not be handling our export matter as the exporting job was given to a courier company. Then, I realised that the Lord allowed this to remind me of updating all the company's official matter. He just used who all needed to be used to accomplish this matter.

Ten years ago, I had applied for my USA Visa for my attending the seminannual trainings in Anaheim California. Trusting the Lord, I prayerfully applied and got it. With that, I had visited the States three times within the ten years of the visa validity, all for attending seminannual trainings and fellowship. And for some reasons, I had no intention to renew it again though it is expiring in March this year. However, one night during the fellowship and training in Bengaluru, this thought of USA Visa renewal came to my mind. The next day, as I mentioned it to a brother, he encouraged me to do so and sent me two links for the process as he also did his visa renewal.

Once I got back to office from the ministry literature journey, and when I got the time, I did a thorough study on USA visa renewal process. The Lord even led me when I needed to get my hair cut and take USA visa passport size photo. He even led me to use one particular day for the online filling of DS-106 form and then apply for renewal online. As I did so, to my surprise, the date for submission of my passport was also readily available the next day, though I intent to wait further. Then without waiting further, I opted for the next day and submitted it before I began another eleven days ministry journey. 

The Lord led me step by step, on time. Even when I had no intention to do it, He knew I must do it. So, He led me to do it right away. I was amazed at how the Lord led me in doing things that I was not aware of, or had no intention to do it. He knew what needed to be done and when it should be done. I simply followed Him, and the things were done well on time. What a life lesson of doing things on time!

This is an experience of the living God moving and operating in me and in all that concerns me. O, what a living and moving God I have, who led me to do things in time! Praise Him!

First Lord’s Table in Huthundu, Ranchi

Today, the 1st of February 2026, the first Lord’s Table Meeting was established in the church in Huthundu, Ranchi District! Yesterday, we had a time of fellowship on the truth concerning the church, the local churches, and the Lord’s recovery. Three brothers coordinated to minister the word of God to local saints who received the Lord’s speaking with much life supply as evident from their taking notes, sharing, testifying, and their facial expression. Today morning, we had a time of fellowship on the significance of the Lord’s Table Meeting with an emphasis on the one Body of Christ, the fellowship of the Body of Christ, the fellowship of the blood, the cup of blessing, the remembrance of the Lord by eating the bread and drinking the cup, the oneness of the Body, the discerning of the Body, and the thanksgiving and worshipping of the Father. Though the initial number of the saints was just twelve, the Lord would "break them and bless them" and multiply the saints for His testimony.

In fact, I had no plan for visiting this time when a brother mentioned to me first, last year. I did not feel the need for me to be here as I felt I would get busy with other things. However, I always kept myself open to the Lord and to His Body. This year January when in Bengaluru, the same brother mentioned to me about visiting Ranchi again for the first Lord’s Table Meeting followed by distribution of rhe ministry literature in Ranchi and then Chhattisgarh. I realised this was from the Lord and immediately amen the brother's fellowship. Therefore, on the 30th Jan I boarded a train from Delhi with a view to spend more time in prayer during the eighteen hours train journey. In fact, on the 31st Jan, as I enjoyed my time with the Lord in the train, my co-passegers began to show interest to talk to me as they recognizer that I am a Christian with Bible in my hand. A family even got my number and requested if I could visit them in Ranchi, their hometown, or in Chandigarh, their work place. Then, when I arrived the brother's house, I refreshed myself, and then the fellowship session followed suit. In this way, the Lord granted me the grace to participate in the first Lord’s Table Meeting in Huthundu.

Praise the Lord for His testimony in Jharkhand!
