A Day of Blending and Fellowship

As we were conducting board meeting and having fellowship concerning the literature service, we felt led by the Lord to gather all the serving ones online for a time of blending. The Lord also led us what the content of the meeting would be; prayer, hymn singing, pray-reading the ministry materials on being a part of the one unique New Testament ministry and the need to deal with by God in our person to minister life to people and be properly aggressive to produce result in our service, a pursuit on being diligent and faithful as the Lord’s serving ones in the publication work, a time of "review and refresh" from the serving ones, and concluding words from four of us brothers coordinating in the literature service. In fellowship and in oneness, the meeting schedule was finalised and information sent to all the serving ones.

Today, as fellowshipped, the Lord blessed us with a wonderful time of online blending. I personally enjoyed the Lord’s fresh speaking concerning the blessing of being a part of the one unique New Testament ministry and the need for my person to be dealt with by the Lord that I may be a proper serving one. Likewise, many other serving ones also shared their enjoyment. 

In NCR, some of us came together at Gurugram office. In fact, we also enjoyed a practical time of blending with lovefeast.

My concluding portion the Lord gave me to share as I prayed last night, I released the following points.

1. May we know God’s blessing

We are the most blessed people on the earth. The Christians, the saints practising the church life in the Lord’s recovery, serving full-time in the ministry, that too, in the most crucial service, the literature service. Therefore, we must pray that the Lord would make us faithful and fruitful in our service and serve the Lord all the days of our lives.

2. May we know who we are:

We must know that we are nothing and can do nothing without the Lord's leading and blessing. We must humble ourselves and look to the Lord for grace day by day. We must know that God is the Lord of our work and He is also the working Lord. We co-work with the Lord.

3. Let us be men of prayer

We must be men of prayer, bringing every matter before God in prayer and receiving burden from the Lord. All our services should be out of burden born from prayers and borne through prayers.

4. Let us be men of the Word of God

We must be men of the word of God. We must love the word of God and resd the Bible daily. We must be the first to pursue the ministry books. Read the Bible, read the ministry, and read the Bible.

5. Let us serve in coordination

We must also learn to serve in coordination. For this, we must be open to the Lord to be dealt with by the Lord; experience the cross, the death and resurrection of Christ, be in one accord and receive the Lord's commanded blessing!

Later, one of the serving ones stayed back for further personal fellowship. For over three hours, we spent together in fellowship. Initially, he poured out whatever was in his heart concerning all the negative situations he has been passing through these days. After listening and listening to all that he has to say, I fellowship on three points:

Change the way of looking at things

Human eyes may not see as God sees. There is a need to be renewed in the mind with and through the word of God to see as God sees. Satan only corrupts, but God restores, revives, and recovers. Let God be our God and sees as He sees. God changes black and dark eye glass to white and bright glass to see as He sees.

Cultivate a strong root system 

All problems manifested in human life are just symptoms. The root cause is in the root system. There is a need to establish a strong root; a personal, private, intimate, fellowship and relationship with the Lord. Only then, can one be full of life to overcome death, full of light to dispel darkness, be salt of the earth and light of the world. Spend time to pray daily.

Cultivate a Bible reading habit to be constituted with the word of God

Only the word of God can make a believer grow in life. All human and natural thoughts can only be renewed by and with the word of God. Spend time reading the Bible daily.

After the brotherly fellowship, he was so cherished and nourished. He testified that he became happy again after many months of living and struggling in darkness. He agreed to all the above three points and took the fellowship to spend time in prayer and read the Bible daily. Then, we prayed together. 

What a blessed day of blending and fellowship!

May the Lord cover all the serving ones from the attack of the enemy. May the Lord bless all the serving ones to be useful vessels unto Him.
