God's Faithful Word

The faithful God has spoken His faithful word at the beginning of this new year, 2026. God has a way to speak to His children at the proper time. When He speaks, we must pay heed to it with utmost attention and believe firmly in the spoken word of God. God's word never fails. For the past two decades, we have been struggling with the increase in the number of saints meeting as the church here in Gurugram. thesis time, the Lord's speaking has become very clear from the beginning of the year. It was no coincidence that such verses of God's speaking became my daily Bible reading portion. In fact, I thought of completing my Bible reading before the end of the year 2025 for the 50th time by December 31. However, I did not have the peace to do it. I would rather follow the inward leading of the Lord, how much to read in a day. I simply followed the Lord's inward leading. Therefore, the Lord timed the portion perfectly for me to read the portion in Ezekiel on 1 and 2 Jan 2026.

I was full of joy when I read the first promised blessing on January 1, and I shared it with the saints immediately.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today (Received and Shared on 1st Jan 2026)

And I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing. 

And the trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I break the bars of their yoke and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 

(Ezekiel 34:26-27, RecVer)

Again, on the 2nd January, the Lord spoke to me His words of promised blessing of increase, multiplication, and fruitfulness as a continuation of His promise for the year. This time I shared with the church and family group, with those who are more in fellowship.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today (Received and Shared on  2nd Jan 2026)

For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be tilled and sown; And I will multiply people upon you, the entire house of Israel, all of it! The cities will also be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. I will also multiply upon you man and beast, and they will increase and be fruitful, and I will make you inhabited as you were formerly, and I will make it better for you than when you began. Then you will know that I am Jehovah. 

(Ezekiel 36:9-11, RecVer)

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them;

I will increase them with men like a flock.

(Ezekiel 36:37, RecVer)

The faithful word of God also came with a faithful commitment from the recipient of  His word. Go released the burden; we must follow up in prayer. God promised; we must claim it by faith.

Today, I also shared this promise of God with the brothers in coordination in the church. We claim the promise of God together, and the Lord will fulfill His promise.

Amen to the word of God. Amen to God's faithful word of promised blessing of multiplication, fruitfulness, and increase for the year 2026!

First Day, First Month

As the Lord released the burden for prayer toward the land, the city, and the temple, we also began our new year in such a way. I personally enjoyed a wonderful time of prayer personally, for all my official services, church responsibilities and family duties. As usual, as the Lord burdened me much, I enjoyed a sweet time of prayer, releasing all the burden the Lord blessed me with, carrying forward the prayer burdens from the last year. What a blessing to be burdened by the Lord to pray His burdens!

On the first day of the first month, I enjoyed the Lord’s grace again to begin the new year in prayer personally, and briefly together with my family members too. As a brother helped us in the churches combined prayer meeting with some key Bibles verses related to the burden released for prayers towards the holy land, the holy city, and the holy temple, my new year, the first day of the first month, began with prayer for the burdens released. 

In the first month, the first day of the month, the land emerged from the flood. I must continue to gain the all-inclusive Christ.

And in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and saw that now the surface of the ground was dry. (Genesis 8:13, RecVer)

On the first day of the first month, there was the return to the city where there is separation, protection, and expression. I must be recovered more and more inwardly and outwardly for the reality of the church life, the kingdom of God.

For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him. (Ezra 7:9, RecVer)

On the first day of the first month, the Word of Jehovah came for purification. I must be purified with the blood of Jesus daily and be constituted with His word, fkr His truth sanctifies.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull of the herd without blemish, and you shall purify the sanctuary. (Ezekiel 45:18, RecVer)

In addition to these personal experiences and enjoyment of Christ, the churches in North India had a two days teenagers and young people meeting for a marathon reading of the book of Genesis with a review on the burden of the book. 

The Lord also gave me a personal word which Inalso shared to some WhatsApp group I am in.

My Enjoyment of the Word of God Today

And I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing.

And the trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I break the bars of their yoke and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 

(Ezekiel 34:26-27, RecVer)

What a way to begin the new year with! On the first day of the first month, the Lord has graced and blessed us so richly, even with His promised showers of blessing! Hallelujah!

Year End Meeting

Yesterday night being the last day of last year, as usual, the church had a meeting of the saints. This time, the first one hour was a combined meeting of the churches in New Delhi, Gurugram, and Mathura. We had a solid time of corporate prayer meeting with burdens released on prayers towards the holy land, the holy city, and the holy temple as Daniel prayed in Daniel 9.

Now when Daniel came to know that the writing had been signed, he went to his house (in his upper room he had windows open toward Jerusalem) and three times daily he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave thanks before his God, because he had always done so previously. (Daniel 6:10, RecVer)

After our corporate prayer, the brothers released some specific burdens for the coming year 2026 in line with the recovery of the land (the all-inclusive Christ), the city (the church as the kingdom of God), and the temple (the church as the house of God). To gain Christ, we had a prayer on strengthening our daily morning revival, prayer life, and truth pursuing. For the church as the kingdom of God, we prayed for more building among the saints in the small groups to live a small group living. For the the church as the house of God, we had consecration prayer to offer to Lord all thag we have and we are. May the Lord bless the churches in North India.

A brother also helped us in the matter of offerings from Ezekiel 45 and 46, the four kinds of offerings: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. This basically means that we have to live Christian life as an offering life daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

Another brother helped us with the need for our truth constitution, building, prayers, and offerings. Along with this, some practical points to consider one the kast day of the year; review your life for failures, offenses, sins, and unforgiveness and repent for all these drawbacks and have a new beginning. And the burden ended with some practical pints to consider: 

• Managing Money: We must learn to mangae our money. Where our treasure is, there our heart will also be.
• Time Schedule: Spend time for morning revival, truth pursuing, prayer, church meeting, gospel preaching, and shepherding.
• Truth Constitution: Daily Bible reading.

After this session, we also had another session for the church in Gurugram as usual, the "counting blessing meeting" along with prayers and consecration, where the saints shared their top portion of their experiences and enjoyment of Christ in 2025. This meeting concluded with hymn 16, worshiping God the Father for His greatness as we entered the new year, and praiseed Him by singing hymn 7.

Glory, glory to the Father!

Glory, glory to the Son!

Glory, glory to the Spirit!

Glory to the Three in One!

Let us praise Him! Let us praise Him!

Praise our God, the Three in One!

Give Him glory; give Him glory!

Wondrous things for us our God hath done!

Last year ended with praise, worship, thanksgiving, and giving glory to God and we entered the new year with the same.

 

Hallelujah for the end of the old! 

Hallelujah for the beginning of the new!

First Experience

As the Lord has blessed us with a new car, as a family, our prayers have been that whatever the Lord blessed us with, it must be a blessing to others as well. Especially, useful to the saints for the church life. 

Today, I had the privilege and honor to drop to Delhi, my coordinator, co-worker, and brother in the official service and brother in Christ in the church whom the Lord blessed me with. Since the Lord has relocated his service in Delhi, he had to move for the Lord’s work. It was a blessing for me to drive them as they shifted from Gurugram to Delhi with the brand new car. Though that may be just a ride, but it meant a lot to me. When they first came to Gurugram fifteen years ago, I had the privilege to pick them from the railway station with another brother. Now, when they left the city, I was graced to drive them again. To me, it was a brotherly responsibility and a sweet fellowship in practical matters. May the Lord bless my brother's family wherever He leads them.

Today morning too, with my daughter and wife, I had the experience of riding the new car, dropping our daughter for her school farewell meeting, and then picking her up from the school. 

These matters may sound trivial, however, this is the principle of "first use". Tbis also my first experience with the new car. I was glad that the usage of the new car began well and I pray that, even in matetial things, everything should be to our heart's content, useful to the saints, and useful to the Lord.

Because out from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36, RecVer)

To Him be the glory in all things. For this, God also gave everything at the right time for His use, rightfully. I can testify to this fact, as every thing was times rightly; the expiry of the old, the buying of the new, the timely provision from the Lord in making things available at the right time. Yes, even, in using people, matters, and things, to meet all that He has planned for His children for His glory. To such a wonderful, sovereign God, I bow down my head to worship Him. Amen and amen

God Provides: Personal Testimony

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh, as it is said to this day, On the mount of Jehovah it will be provided. (Genesis 22:14, RecVer)

Today, exactly one week after our old car turned fifteen years and was scrapped, the Lord has blessed us with a new car. He also provided richly all the money needed to purchase it at the right time. Wherever the need is, may it be useful to the Lord, to the Body, to the saints, and for the church life. The car is a KIA Carens Clavis.

Testimony

The reason for choosing this car is the Lord’s leading, and it has a personal spiritual history. Many months ago, as I had been considering in prayer for a new car, as our Alto K10 would be turning 15 years old in December, the Lord showed me in a dream about this particular company and model. The next day, during my prayer time, He reminded me of this particular car. I immediately googled and found it was too expensive; in fact, it was more than three times my initial budget. Then, I kind of gave up even considering this car. However, in the following days, weeks, and months, whenever I thought about the need for a car, only this model came to mind. Though I also considered a smaller and cheaper one, I never had the peace to go ahead with any of them. In fact, at one time, I even considered Renault Triber and Nissan Gravite, both 7-seater economic MPVs, but my inner peace never allowed me to dwell on them, even. Many times, I tried to tune my mind for a small car, but I never had the peace. So, I literally had no choice but to consider KIA Carens. Finally, I visited a KIA showroom and inquired about this model, including the color (which I had seen in my dream). But the sales executive said they don't have what I was looking for. However, a few days later, he called me up and said there was only one piece in the entire NCR, though similar cars with other colors were available.

Later, when I mentioned this car to a brother, he felt good about it and also helped me to review and negotiate the price. I took that as a confirmation from the Body. Then, another brother spent one whole day calling up many KIA dealers in NCR and concluded that no one had this particular model with the chosen color, and even with the negotiated price. A further confirmation from another brother. Thus, the car was bought.

When the Lord shows something, He always provides to meet the need, not just sufficiently but bountifully.

Jehovah-jireh, God Provides

On the financial side, while looking into what the Lord has blessed us, I realized that one of the investments that we made nine years ago, which I thought I had bought by mistake, had grown beyond my expectations. Besides, there were also offerings we received and have not used for quite some time. Then, it was confirmed that all these were the Lord’s provisions to meet this need at this time. Praise the Lord!

May the Lord preserve us with a pure heart to only love Him, only look to Him, and only live Him out.

Brotherly Fellowships

Brotherly fellowships with different brothers were good spiritual exercises for me to exercise my spirit and let the life of God flow through me. In fact, in all the fellowships, the Lord's divine life was flowing, and we all enjoyed the joy and peace within. 

While in Goa about ten days ago, I had a personal time with a brother the whole day, driving around Goa, visiting places of interest, and all the while fellowshipping. Of course, this was on the last day of my stay in Goa after all the official works were done. In fellowship, he poured out whatever was on his heart that concerned him. I exercised my hearing ear to patiently listen to all that he had to pour out. I also exercised my spirit to discern the matter and filtered the key points out. I could only fellowship to him that the Lord is sovereign and He is working things out according to His plan. I did enjoy his love, care, and hospitality. His burden for the Lord’s move and the action he took impressed me so much. The entire one-week distribution trip was the burden of the brothers in Goa, especially this brother, whom the Lord imparted a special burden to take the initiative. May the Lord bless the burden he has and enlarge his capacity much more with an enlarged heart to shepherd the saints.

When I came back to Gurugram, a brother came to fellowship with me concerning his concerns for his brother. The Lord graced me to pay careful heed to his burdens as well. I could discern that whatever happened to his family was sovereignly allowed by the Lord with the one purpose of gaining all of them to be absolute for  Christ and the church. For, each one of them was distracted from the central lane of God's economy. The Lord gave me the ear to hear what all that brother had to say.  Then, having heard all, I could only pray for the family that they all love the Lord and stand firmly in the truth. One thing I was clear concerning this family was that the Lord has chosen them to be pillars to bear His testimony in Gurugram, though they have many other plans. May the Lord shepherd my brother's family for His testimony in Gurugram. 

On the Lord’s Day, we had a specific fellowship with a brother concerning his service that, for the temporary moment it had to be put on hold due to a certain situation that had been going on in his life. It was not an easy feeling. Thank the Lord for the Spirit in my spirit that I could turn to,  to handle this kind of intermixed and complicated checker works. Since I was not clear concerning the Lord’s desire in the matter, I could only silently wait and pray. And when asked about my feelings specifically, I could only reply to what I had been feeling all along. I really did not know what to say. I could only pray that the Lord’s perfect will be done in the concerned brother's life.

Yesterday, my cousin brother, for whom I have been praying, came to visit us. It was surprising that we met after two full years. I simply fellowshipped with them their need to have a spiritual fellowship with the saints in the church in New Delhi, in addition to helping them know how you plan things ahead for their family and their future.

Today, I had a time with a brother who came to help me look into the purchasing matter of the new car I decided to purchase. In fact, it was months later that we could come together again and coordinate in practical matters. May the Lord fully restore my brother's soul. 

All these brotherly fellowships were very cherishing and shepherding to me. And I believe, it was also very cherishing and nourishing to the ones I fellowshiped with.

This is the church life. This is the normal Christian life for the church life. It has been through such fellowships that I have been shepherded and even tempered in my being. 

Praise the Lord for the brotherly fellowships!

Life Lesson: Gospel Meeting

Today, being a holiday, as the church, we planned a gospel meeting. This gospel meeting was very unique, in that, my core heart's desire was carried out. Yes, it was a gospel meeting where we should focus on the gospel friends. Yes, I did invite my gospel friends too. However, my main burden was on the function and perfecting of the saints

In fellowship and in prayer, we planned for the schedule of the gospel meeting. It was perceived in my spirit that such and such ones would share the gospel message, and such and such ones would testify for the Lord. Brothers too amened the proposal right away. We were blessed with a sweet and strong coordination in the preparation for the gospel meeting.

Today, in the gospel meeting, we had four saints testify. My heart was filled with joy in witnessing the testimonies of the saints, especially the brothers whom I have so much burden to perfect. To me, witnessing the testimonies of the ones the Lord burdened me to perfect brought much joy to me. Much more than I expected, I witnessed the Lord’s hand upon all these ones.

Though most of the gospel friends invited did not turn up, still, the functioning of the newly perfected Hindi-speaking brothers brought much joy to me. Christ has been glowing in their lives. What a sight to behold! What a blessing!

Even after the meeting, the time spent with the saints and the brothers in fellowship taught me more life lessons. A new group meeting was planned. Two brothers' functions were recovered. And when a new one turned up late, and I was busy, other saints were able to shepherd the new ones in mutuality. Besides, the sisters all coordinated to prepare lunch for everyone. This was a beautiful picture of coordination in the Body.

In fact, I did not function openly, but was behind the scene. I prayed and prepared the saints to function. This is the way to perfect the saints. And this was my new role in my functioning in the church. What a blessing! What a privilege!

Gospel means good news. And the good news of perfecting the saints was carried out. May the Lord perfect all the saints for His building work in His Body. Hallelujah!
