Training and Blending

Last weekend, we had a little over a day of training for the brothers in the churches in North India from Friday evening 22 to 23 Sept Saturday evening. This was the first of its kind following the national full-timers training held in Hyderabad. The same burden was released in the regional training as many brothers could not join the national training. Though I was in the national training, this time, the Lord’s fresh speaking was very new. The ministry of the word of God is new all the time. No matter if I heard it before or not, every time the Lord’s speaking is fresh and new. 

The key points are the blessedness of being a part of the New Testament ministry for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem, for this, our being need to be dealt with by the Lord to be a minister of life, properly aggressive in service to produce results. The up-to-date vision of the age and the need to be in the ministry faithfully has also been emphasised, tracing the history of the visions the Lord had shown to Br. Nee and Br. Lee, bringing us today to the highest and ultimate vision of God's economy. The Lord be merciful to all of us to be faithful to the vision He has shown us. In addition, the practical need for shepherding the saints and building up the local church in our locality with the goal of increase in number was also fellowshipped. This burden brought us brothers together to make a name list of over a hundred saints. The Lord will gain His increase in us and among us.

Two significant noteworthy points are:

The brothers we have been praying for and shepherding have attended this training and the area we lack in rendering help, the training did it, making the vision clear and confirming the ministry of the age.

We enjoyed a time of brothers fellowshipping and blending together; the local Gurugram brothers and those from Mathura. 

Such training brought us brothers together and blended us together. What a blessing!

Besides, we also had a combined Lord’s Table Meeting on the 24th Sept., in Delhi where a new family also joined such a meeting for the first time. The family has been shepherded by the saints from Delhi through introduction and fellowship. The Body life has become more practical and experiential through such blending meeting.

In the Body, with the Body, through the Body, and for the Body, the Lord has blended the saints in North India! What a blending! What a blessing!
