Weekend Dispensing

From 7 to 9 Oct this month, some of us, brothers, gathered in different cities all over the nation, connected online, and listened to the Lord’s uptodate speaking from the recently concluded ITERO held in Amsterdam. The ministry message was on The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is one of the seven feasts we have been bleesed with in a year. The Lord always spoke and is still speaking according to our needs and His burden. Though the title is not new to many, but the Lord’s speaking even from the same Bible verses was new to me each time. I myself was freshly supplied despite my familiarity with this topic. In fact, I already composed a hymn with 12 stanzas on this topic and titled, The Experience of the Triune God: As the God of Abraham  Isaac, and Jacon (With Joseph). Though the messages and burden were still the same, the life supply I received and the revelation I got were very fresh. O what a refreshing, cherishing, and nourishing speaking of the Lord again!

One thing that impressed me was the way the series of messages began, unfolded, and concluded. It began with God's eternal purpose to have His corporate expression and representation through the man He created. To achieve His purpose, He needed to gain man constituted with Him. For this, He identified Himself with three persons; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Joseph. In Abraham, God the Father is the source, originator, supplier; in Isaac, God the Son is the course of His rich supply and the aspect of man receiving the riches of God; in Jacob, God the Spirit is the transformer to transform and constitute His chosen ones with God Himself, were clearly portrayed. All these processes of the three working in oneness issued in the Israel of God, the church, the corporate expression of God!

Today, we have been experiencing and enjoying this unique God in His divine dispensing in His divine Trinity day by day. To some extent, by His mercy, we have been gained for His testimony as we look forward for the full accomplishment of what He purposed in us. For this, He also placed us where He deemed best and bestowed us with gifts He deemed fit. To His sovereignty, we simply say, Amen, and yes, resounding amens.

As we brothers from Gurugram travelled for about an hour each day to Delhi, to and fro, we enjoyed a time of corporate prayer in the morning, and a time of corporate fellowship in the afternoon. Even in our travels, we enjoyed and experienced the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! What a weekend dispensing!

As we are in the process of being gained by God for His eternal purpose, we also know the goal already, to express Him in full maturity, which is expressed in becoming a channel of blessing, and even becoming the blessing itself as seen in Jacob transforming to Israel and blessing Pharoah, Joseph's two sons, and his own twelve sons with prophesies. Having began the journey already, we look forward to goal in full faith. The God who is the Alpha is also the God who is the Omega. What He had originated in us and through us, He will surely complete in His time, as He has been divinely working on us day by day at the present time.

O God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, work is us and Thy will be done. Amen
