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!
