Blessed New Beginning Again

“Surely blessing, I will bless you; and multiplying, I will multiply you.” (Hebrews 6:14, RecVer)

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of Jehovah For the length of my days. (Psalms 23:6, RecVer)

A blessed new beginning again to our first daughter today as she turns eighteen! 

As I was praying last night concerning her, the Lord gave me the two Bible verses on blessing. Therefore, I designed a card as a remembrance of God's promised blessing. I wanted to make it special as she turns eighteen. 

Besides, this might be her last birthday in India before she leaves for studies as we plan for her to go abroad for the next level of her learning; academically, physically, and spiritually. 

As usual, as a family we went to eat at their favorite restaurant, Mc Donald's. Since their childhood, Mc Donald's or KFC has been their favorite. Though there are many other restaurants, somehow, these ones have their childhood memories attached to it. These makes them happy. As a father, their happiness is my happiness, though I personally would hardly visit these restaurants if not for my chidren. The crux of the matter is, to spend time with the family and make the children happy.

Though my son and daughter had their board exams today, the family time we usually spent together during their birthdays has been maintained. By the way, the Lord blessed them in their exams too. Praise the Lord!

In the evening, we attended the weekly group meeting in Valley View. The Lord led me to spend time with a new brother while eating dinner. The burden for this young brother was for his spiritual health. I encouraged him to start spending specific time with the Lord in prayer, read the Bible daily, and also gave an assigned to read a message a day from the Shepherding Materials.

Later, when we started the group meeting, we tweaked the meeting according the Spirit's leading. Instead of the normal pursueing, I released the burden the Lord gave me for the saints. That is, to recover and strengthen the personal prayer life daily, read the word of God daily to receive the Lord's speaking, and seek and do the perfect will of the Lord in matter of their life. The meeting was so rich. We all enjoyed the building and builded God dispensing Himself into us and dispensing His life into others through us. What a blessed day indeed it was!

Experience of Christ: Board Exams

This year and this month, my son and daughter appeared for their tenth and twelveth CBSE board exams. I had already fellowshipped with both of them a couple of times concerning practical studies, preparing well in time, and above all, trusting in the Lord and praying for His blessing. Yes, to pray for blessing in addition to fulfilling all the human responsibilities. 

By the Lord’s mercy, they both have been studying well. My encouragement for them was and is, to experience the Lord in their board exams. To this extent, I even posted in the church and family WhatsApp group for prayer.

Prayer for CBSE Board Exams

Remember in your prayers for our young brother and sister writing their board exams from 17 Feb 2026

That they may experience the Lord as their wisdom, understanding, knowledge, intelligence, and peace.

That they reap the fruit of their labor in their studies through this exam and enjoy the Lord as their grace and receive His blessing.

As requested and prayed for, the Lord indeed blessed them in all the papers they have written so far. Especially with my son, with his first paper on Maths, I was so thankful to the Lord for helping him. Since then, deep within, I had the full assurance that they both will do well in their exams and will come out with flying colors.

More often, I used to go out with my son in the night these days, praying together holding hands. We both enjoyed our father-son prayer time. For this purpose, I also paused all my traveling until the time their exams will be completed.

Besides, tbe Lord also kept me very busy attending to the office, church, and household needs during this time. In fact, I have been experiencing being very busy, yet I have never missed my prayer time, Bible reading, corporate and family prayers, and still attended all the meetings of the church.

Yes, exam time for my chidren academically. Yes, exam time for me personally as I have been tested to handle all my responsibilities by trusting the Lord. In all these, I experience the Lord in a very deep, personal, intimate, affectionate, and sweet way. Though I could not eat on time and get enough rest due to work pressure, the Lord has been my Shepherd, moment by moment.

O what a wonderful way to experience Christ! I believe, my son and daughter also are experiencing Christ very deeply and richly these days. 

Even when the exams are over, and the works pressure reduced, still the experience and enjoyment of Christ must go on and on. Board exams and life exams are for us to experience Christ and gain Christ!

Experience of Christ: In Official Matter

Last month, just before I left for the ministry literature journey, I had applied for the renewal of my USA visa. After the journey, when I went to collect my passport, I was informed to appear for an interview. I was hoping that interview waiver should apply. However, I was given the liberty to appear for interview anytime I wish during the working hours of the USA embassy in Delhi within a period of one year. I was wondering when I should appear as I had many works to attend too. 

In considering the matter, I realised that I also should bring this matter to fellowship with my coordinating brother though I had already fellowshipped with the brothers in the USA as I needed their approval and also a USA contact address. The brothers approved and advised me to go for renewal and my brother also did the same, even to do it as soon as possible. 

While I was praying for this matter one night, the Lord specifically told me to appear for an interview on Monday the 23rd of February. Later, I realised that this was exactly one month before my existing visa would expire. So, I went to the embassy.

Though I had the plan to complete my interview at the earliest possible so that I could still join the brothers' prayer in the morning at 9 AM and truth pursuing at 9:30 AM. The Lord had a better plan. Despite reaching the consulate office well on time, I was delayed in two matters. I had to join a queue for depositing my mobile phone which I could have done had I known that it needed to be done. I had to leave a queue to join another queue and then come back to the same queue. At least thirty minutes was wasted on extra queuing. Later, after waiting at four differnt queues for different kinds of security checks and crowd management, I was directed to go to Counter 14. But I did not know I could go straight as there was another long queue. So, I waited for another thirty minutes. But, when I enquired further to the security personel, I was informed that I need not stand on the queue as I was alloted a designated counter for my visa renewal. Then, I appeared for the interview and answered a couple of questions the officer in charge asked me. Then, he confirmed that my USA was approved and I submitted my passport for visa stamping. 

When I came out, I already missed the brothers' prayer and also the truth pursuing. Actually, it did not happen as I usually was the one who initiated the calls. Then, on my way back before I could join another official fellowship at 11 AM, I listened to the first half of the recent ICS conference message two, which I missed out as I needed to drop my son for his exam. When I finished listening to the message, I could start the next official meeting exactly at 11 AM even while still in a car on my way back.

This was one such step by step experience of contacting and fellowshipping with the Lord in practical matter that concerns me. 

God cares for all that concerns us! No matter what plan human has, God always has the best plan. He is so good at just being God.

Casting all your anxiety on Him because it matters to Him concerning you. (1 Peter 5:7, RecVer)

Shepherding Families

Two weeks ago, a brother text me of his intent to visit us on the Lord’s Day. I replied by inviting him for lunch too. Later, the Lord reminded me that I should invite him to join the Lord’s Table Meeting too, if the Lord wills so. The next day, his whole family attended the Lord’s Day meeting, though they missed the bread breaking. 

During the prophesying time, he shared what was on his heart even to the point that he voiced his different understanding of the truth. I did not find needful to address the matter as it was not on the major points. However, when my turn came to minister the word, I did so with much grace, releasing my sprit, ministering the truth that I presently enjoyed which I had also posted in some WhatsApp group on Christ as the Physician based on the ministry excerpt.

Christ as the Physician

He said, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill. But go and learn what this means, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matt. 9:12-13

The Lord’s word in Matthew 9:13, addressed to the Pharisees, indicates that the Lord Jesus heals man’s spiritual illness, the illness of sin. Sin came first and death follows. Between sin and death there are all kinds of illnesses, diseases, and infirmities… As sinners, we are sick absolutely, for we are sick physically, spiritually, morally, and mentally. But Jesus, the Forgiver and the Physician, is able to heal all our sicknesses.

As our Physician, the Lord heals us mainly in our spirit and in our soul, not mainly in our body. The tax collectors and sinners in Matthew 9:10 were not physically sick; they were spiritually sick. While the Lord Jesus was feasting with them, He was healing them spiritually. Likewise, although the Lord may or may not heal us in our body, He is always ready to heal us in every part of our spirit and soul. ( The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2782-2783)

Paul’s experience in his later ministry helps us to have a proper appreciation of Christ as the believers’ Physician. In 2 Timothy 4:20 Paul says, “Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.” Why did the apostle leave such an intimate one in sickness without exercising healing prayer for him? Why did he not also execute his healing gift (Acts 19:11-12) to cure Timothy of his stomach illness rather than instruct him to take the natural way for healing (1 Tim. 5:23)?…There is no record that he prayed for healing, and he certainly did not exercise the gift of healing. Instead, Paul encouraged Timothy to take a little wine, and he left Trophimus at Miletus. Paul cared for his coworkers in a very human way. The reason Paul cared for them in this way is that, in a time of suffering, Paul and his coworkers were under the discipline of the inner life rather than under the power of the outward gift. The former is of grace in life; the latter of gift in power, miraculous power. Paul’s experience should help us to see that, for the most part, Christ’s healing today is for the spirit and the soul . Christ is the believers’ Physician, the Healer of our spirit, our soul, and at times, also of our body. If we see this vision we shall trust in Him and experience Him as our Physician. ( The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 616-617)

After the meeting, the brother apologised to me personally if he had spoken something amiss that might hurt or not in line with the present burden.

The next day, a brother and I visited his family and spent at least three hours of fellowship and peacefully finalised a new rental agreement and renovation works to be done on the building used for the meeting hall, the Lord’s service, and my family residence. This was a very timely and brotherly fellowship we all enjoyed together. 

Later, we visited another family, and enjoyed a sweet time of fellowship with the husband, wife, and chidren. 

All these was the answer to the burden the Lord gave me recently on praying for three families, particularly for their whole family recovery into the church life. In fact, the Lord’s Day before our visit, the three brothers, head of the three families the Lord burdened me to pray for, were seated next to one another. The Lord showed me visibly with my eyes to witness the answers to prayers He burdened me for. 

Praise the Lord!

Shepherding the Sisters

All the saints need shepherding. Young, old, brothers and sisters, all need shepherding. The enemy, in his subtlety, has been trying his best to deceive the saints and lead them astray. In many cases, he seemed to be successful. Yet, the Lord turned those as shepherding opportunities and prayer burdens for the saints. By so doing, He has been perfecting both the shepherd and the sheep in one go. What was meant for destruction turned out to be an opportunity for construction! At the end, God used His enemy, Satan, as His ugly tool to perfect His chidren. What a great and wise God our God is! Hallelujah!

A sister who angrily left the church life for about half a year was finally revisited with the recovery of the small group meeting in her area with her house as the first to be visited. It was a surprise that she finally was willing to open her home again. In fact, this was me and my wife's first visit to her home for such a meeting. I did not share much but testified my enjoyment of the Lord Jesus as a Physician who heals our soul and spirit mostly, and sometimes, the body too. As the Lord burdened me, I simply shared the fact that we all have problems, sick with sin in our body, soul, and spirit. Therefore, the healing we need today is the healing of the soul and spirit mostly. And in a brotherly way, I encouraged her to come back to th church meeting; to forget everything of the past and have a fresh and new beginning. Praise the Lord, last Lord’s Day, we all were very joyful to see our sister attending the meeting and serving!

A sister, by profession, a medical doctor, also called now and then for prayers for the major incidents she has been going through in her lives. I simply prayed by faith whenever she called for prayer. And later, I found that the Lord indeed answered those prayers. When she had to shift, she made another request for help which I brought it to the brothers. Three of us went to assist her in her house shifting. In that way, even in her practical needs, the Lord shepherded her. May the Lord recover her fully for the church life.

A single sister who has been living all alone due to her family's situation also called and requested for a time of truth pursuing. She expressed her hunger and thirst for the word of God. To cater to her need, we have arranged some sisters to pursue with her, the Life-study of Ephesians.

In a similar way, another sister too, out of her desperate situation, called for fellowship and prayer. My wife and I visited her, and we all enjoyed a sweet time of fellowship, showing her that all her family situations are God’s answer to her prayer for her household salvation. She could accept it immediately as she herself has been praying and seeking the Lord for her family salvation. 

In these mysterious ways, the Lord has been shepherding the saints in the church. By His grace and mercy, the Lord will heal our sick soul and spirit, and fully recover us for His strong and shining testimony in Gurugram. 

Shepherding is the way and the Lord as rhe Shepherd created the opportunity for shepherding. 

Shepherding a Brother's Son

As the saints are praying for the full recovery of a brother's family into the church life, the Lord has answered those prayers by creating an opportunity for a brother's son to come into contact. At first, I was informed by a brother about the possibility of recommending this young brother to a brother we know who is in the construction field and an architect by profession. Initially, I was not clear if I should go ahead to introduce this young man to the architect. Last week, a brother called me and made the request more firm by also sending me the resume of his son. Besides, another brother also requested if I could do the introduction. However, I felt that I should meet the young brother first and have an informal orientation.

Therefore, last week we visited this brother's family and even had a one on one interaction with the young brother. Only then, I had the peace to go ahead. So, the following day, I called the architect brother and did the introduction. To my surprise, he was very willing to take this young intern and give him a first hand training from A to Z of turnkey project. I also called this young brother's father to confirm. Then, I called the young brother myself.

The next day, he first came to the meeting hall where I fellowshipped with him on four points on having a personal regular prayer life, Bible reading, fellowship with the church, and seeking the Lord’s will in every matter. I did so with a burden to shepherd him as I used to, to any young saints including my own chidren. Professional learning is just a channel for gaining the person for the Lord. I even encouraged him to learn whatever he could in his architectural field, and as the Lord lead so, he may one day design a meeting hall for the gathering of the saints. 

So, having prayed together, I drove him to the architect's office and introduced the two face to face. By the way, I alos got the opportunity to meet the architect brother after many years. Later, I was informed that the internship had a good start. I was even sent videos and a photo of the first project for this young brother to learn; the ground digging work for the foundation of the new building.

This is just a way the Lord opened the door for a young brother to be shepherded and perhaps, one day, be also gained for the church life fully.

Lord, gain this young brother who is a brother's son and also the architect brother for Your testimony in Gurugram. 

Shepherding: A Businessman's Son

A young brother who was introduced to our family and whose mother has been so burdend for the family salvation has been prayed for, for quite sometime now. Three weeks ago, I received a surprise invitation from his mother to visit the family. My wife and I did so, and we had a sweet time of fellowship and prayer. 

The family has been going through difficult times related to their businesses and finances. However, sister had the maturity to understand why the Lord allowed such an unexpected situation. It was all for the salvation of her whole family. No matter what happened, my burden was to shepherd the sister and her son. And that, through this, the whole family would be saved. I even dared to say that it was the Lord who led them through this difficult times for their own good.

A week later, her son sent me a message requesting me if I could visit him for fellowship and prayer. I immediately reckoned that as the Lord answering our prayers for the salvation of the whole household. As I visited him, we had a personal fellowship one on one when he opened up the entire situation his family has been going through. I listened through to every word he uttered. That was a cherishing to him and a shepherding to me. 

A word of comfort I could minister was letting him know that God is in control and that He allowed circumstances like these to gain him and his famly. My only main burden was to lead him to the Lord Jesus Christ, in prayer, through the word, in fellowship with the saints in the church. Then, we pray-read the verses n Philippians together and prayed.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; And the peace of God, which surpasses every man’s understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7, RecVer)

In fact, these were the same verses my wife and I used to shepherd his mother too. In this was, the Lord opened the door for shepherding this family in answer to the saints' prayers.

This week, I could visit him again and this time, we started reading the Holy Bible with the footnotes in the Recovery Version. We continued from what we left off last year and concluded Matthew chapter 1. Then, after echoing the burden mentioned in the study notes, we both prayed together. In this way, we plan to continue our shepherding fellowship regularly. 

In fact, he is the only son of a wealthy business man whose wife is a sister in the Lord. The family members are yet to be saved.

May the Lord show mercy to this young man to be in God's plan, and that the Lord would save his entire family for His testimony in Gurugram. 

Fellowship in Khariar Road

When the Lord wants to accomplish something, He just does it in His way with His people in His time. The visit to Khariar Road was never in our plan. However, as we received the news of the demise of our brother's father, we changed our plan and came to visit Khariar Road. 

After a long five hours drive, we just arrived in time to attend the funeral meeting. I was then informed that I should share the word. Immediately, I turned to the Lord for the word,  and the word was made clear.

Words of Comfort

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are sleeping, that you would not grieve even as also the rest who have no hope. For *if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so also those who have fallen asleep through Jesus, God will bring with Him*. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are living, who are left remaining unto the coming of the Lord, shall by no means precede those who have fallen asleep; Because the Lord Himself, with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are living, who are left remaining, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will be always with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, RecVer)

These words of comfort were spoken and prayer offered for the bereaved family. Then, we all went to the cemetry for the burial.

After this, a meeting was arranged again in the night where all the key Christian leaders were invited to attend. Though it was in the house of mourning, I turned it into the house of fellowship, ministering the word as the living Star led me to. For about an hour with Hindi translation, I ministered on God's Eternal Plan.

Though the audience were mostly Christian leaders, deep within, the Lord’s leading was to minsiter this truth from Genesis 1:26, 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Zechariah 12:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; John 1:1, 14, 12, 13; 19:34; 1 Corinthians 15:45; Romans 8:16; 12:1-2. After the Spirit's speaking through the word, the audience were deeply impressed. Many of the Christian Pastors fellowshipped with me after the meeting on how much light they received and how blessed they were with the word. I believe, it was for this purpose that the Lord bought us there. May the Lord continue to supply His chidren with His word.

Then, a brother invited us for a family visit to his house where we had coffee and prayers. The following day, another brother invited us for breakfast at his house. There too, we prayed for the family. Then, we ate early lunch, prayed for the saints in Khariar Road, and left for Raipur to catch our train to Delhi.

In such a short time, the Lord accomplished what He wanted to accomplish, in His time. We simply followed Him, changed our plan as needed, and enjoyed His blessing. 

As His speaking has been these days on following the living Star, so was His leading and our following His leading, His presence. What a blessing!

Fellowship in Bilaspur

As usual, after our visit to the Madku Masih Mela, we would visit and spend the Lord’s Day with the saints in the church in Bilaspur. As we were on the way from Bhatapara to Bilaspur, we prayed together for the Lord’s move in Chhattisgarh. Then, we pray-read the outline of the present holy word for morning revival on the instant and up-to-date revelation of the heavenly Christ. 

As we were on the way, we also received an information of the demise of the father of one of our serving brothers in Khariar Road Odisha. So, we fellowshipped and decided to attend the funeral service. For this, we had to cancel our trip back to Delhi, and eventually made a fesh tatkal booking the next day for Delhi.

In Bilaspur, as the brother gave us time to minister the word, one of us ministered from Romans 8. Then, I followed suit on following Christ the living Star from Matthew 2: 1-12.

Saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star at its rising and have come to worship Him. (Matthew 2:2, RecVer)

And after they heard the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which they saw at its rising led them until it came and stood over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. (Matthew 2:9-10, RecVer)

And because they had been divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed by another way to their country. (Matthew 2:12, RecVer)

As the Lord, the living Star, led me, I ministered the need for the saints to seek the Lord in the word and in prayer to receive revelation concerning the word. I also warned the saints of dead Scriptural knowledge without any revelation or light like the Jews, the Scribes and the Pharisees, and the danger of falling into human concept like the magi from the East which can lead to the spiritual death of the innocent. I also shared my testimony of how the Lord led me in prayer and through the word to serve Him all the days of my life since 2003. While following the livng Star faithfully, it will always lead us to another way, a way other than our human way. Then, we partook of the bread together with the saints in Bilaspur, followed by lovefeast. Then, we left for Khariar Road through a hired vehicle that took us five hours drive.

Thank the Lord for His Star leading us step by step. May the Lord bless His testimony in Bilaspur 

Ministry of the Word to Bhatapara, Bethelpuram, and Madku Dweep

Nothing done by the Lord is ever a waste. More than a year ago, I attended a theological conference in Bengaluru with a heavy price spent financially. I thought that it was more of a waste as I did not get the responses I expected. However, there I met a brother who is an influential Christian leader. This time, while in Ranchi I called him as he is from there. Though he was out of station, he gave me a contact in Bhatapara, which opened the door for the Lord’s move in the city.

This contact is a doctor who runs a hospital along with his wife in Bhatapara. Both have consecrated there lives to serve the Lord in the medical field. As we met and introduced the ministry to them, they were filled with joy. Especially the wife was so encouraged by our visit and fellowship that she also poured out her heart's desire in sharing whatever the Lord has done in her life. She gave us a tour of her brand new house and the hospital, and eventually requested us to pray in her chamber, which we obliged to. Then, her husband introduced another doctor in the nearby locality, opening the door for the Lord’s move through the ministry there in Bethelpuram. 

In Bethelpuram, we met the doctor who is the superintendent for over a decade now. He also gave us a tour of the hospital, the history of the hospital, and all the works he has been doing. When his wife who is also a doctor, joined us in the fellowship, we introduced the ministry literature to them. They both were very impressed with the truth and placed order for the Recovery Version Bible. Then, they took us to their house where we had a fellowship with their son over coffee and snacks until late afternoon. Then, we eventually went to Madhku Dweep to attend the ongoing Masih Mela.

In Madku Dweep, a good number of seekers visited our stall and purchased the ministry literature. The following day, when I was there, brothers from Bhopal, Betul, Champa, Jhanjir etc., visited and fellowshiped with us. It was good time of brotherly reunion.

In Bhatapara too, we had a time of fellowship over lunch with the parent of the doctor couple we met. Though elderly they were, we still could spend a few hours together listening to their testimonies, mostly narrated by the sister. Through them, their relative in Gurugram was also introduced over the phone. 

In this way, the Lord opened new doors in two new localities. I even updated the brothers with the following message:

Update on the Ministry Literature Journey

The Lord opened new doors in Bhatapara where we introduced the ministry to a doctor couple who runs a hospital and in Bethelpuram where another doctor couple are supervising a leprosy mission hospital. These are in addition to the Masih Mela in Madku Dweep where many seeking believers came and received the ministry literature. Then, today we had a time of fellowship with a group of believers who have been taking the stand as "the church in Bilaspur." All these are in Chhattisgarh. 

Today morning, we received an information of the demise of the father of our brother Anil Sahu in Khariar Road. So, we cancelled our trip back to Delhi and detoured to Khariar Road, Odisha, to be with the saints there today evening and tomorrow morning. Then, from there, we will be back to Delhi via Raipur on Wednesday. 

Thank you for all your prayers!

Ministry of the Word to Ranchi, Khunti, Chaibasa, and Chakradharpur

After the first Lord’s Day meeting was established in Hulhundu in Ranchi, we were to leave for Ranchi main city for the distribution. It was then that Lord gave me the burden to call up a brother who could be of help in the distribution. As I did so, he responded and joined us for the two days distribution in Ranchi. 

This brother was known to me some ten years ago when I first visited Jharkhand. He was our translator in a Christian meeting. Since then, he has been gained by the truth concerning Christ and the church.

In Ranchi, on the first day, we attended a Pastors' conference and introduced the ministry literature. Then, we had a time for fellowship with a brother who is an evangelist serving in the city. Then, we visited the two main Christian bookstores and they both placed order for the minsitry literature. 

On the secondth day, we had a time of fellowship and Recovery Version introduction to one of the key Christian leader. Then, with some Reverends of the mainline group, one of them was the managers of another Christian bookstore. Then, we had a time of fellowship with our local brother and his daughter over lunch, and later, with his relatives. Finally, we left for Khunti. 

For the following two more days we were in Khunti in our local brother's house. From there, one day we visited Chaibasa where we met the key Christian leaders of mainline groups, then on our way back, we met the main leader in Chakradharpur. The following day, we had a time of fellowship and ministry literature introduction to a brother who is a retired Engineer. We spent the whole day fellowshipping over coffee and lunch, and visiting his fields and gardens. Then, we were taken to visit a sightseeing spot called Rani Falls. After all these, we concluded the ministry journey in Jharkhand and left for Chattisgarh from Hatia by train.

In addition to the ministry literature distribution, the Lord brought us to Khunti to fellowship with a brother and his wife. On the secondth night of our stay in their home, we had a time of family fellowship where we allowed bith other to open up fully. Then, we fellowshiped with them the biblical view concerning husband and wife and emphasised the need to be in oneness by exercising the spirit to live Christ and partake Christ as the tree of life. We exhorted them to take the way of forgiving and forgetting the things of the past. We also gave our own testimony of our marriage life and the way we took; the way of prayer personally and prayer as couple.

In this way, I believe the Lord’s purpose in visiting Jharkhand, especially the brother's family, was accomplished.

May the Lord bless His move in Jharkhand!

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!
