Praise the Lord for the one Body!! This was always the first sentence that I said during the Vietnam blending, because through this blending, I really can see glorious beams of the Body of Christ!!It just like what is mentioned in week 1 of morning revival, the four living creatures, which are reckoned not as individuals but as a group, one entity; facing not only one direction, but in the four directions, and coordinated as one, the complete expression of Christ!!
We as the members of this body are really blessed, because Christ is just so rich so rich for us to enjoy! There was a hymn that we all decided to sing for the Vietnamese saints during one of the blending, Home in The Church, It’s here that we’ve ended our search... The unsearchable riches of Christ are really sufficient for us. We enjoyed, enjoyed and enjoyed all the while since he first day we reached, enjoyed the love and care from Vietnamese saints, and most importantly, we enjoyed the rich supply from Christ! What else on this world do we still need to search for? Do we still keen for the earthly transient thing? We have already had Christ as our eternal portion!! When I was in Nazareth training centre, I was just so encouraged by the saints over there. They love the Lord with their first love, not to be defeated by the world, by the Satan, and most importantly, by the “self”. Despite the tight schedule and all the constraints, they are still so genuine towards the Lord. May Lord really gain us to be so genuine towards Him with our very first love.
Because of His love, all the members of the Body love each other very much. During the day time, Vietnamese saints brought us for sightseeing, and we had blending every night. They accompanied us for the whole day from early morning until late night. It was so touching!! They reached and waited for us at our hotel early in the morning, and back to their home late night after sending us back. WOW! Where can we find this kind of love that is asking nothing in return? Actually I really felt sorry towards Vietnamese saints, because during the time when they came Singapore, I didn’t even think of accompanying them to go for church blending or sightseeing. But when I was in Vietnam , they just treated us with all the love, how touching it was !!
Besides blending with Vietnamese saints, we, Singaporean saints were also blent among each other in this Vietnam blending trip! While we were on the van, we sang hymns, we prayed, we shared, it was so enjoyable !! I shared a bit of my feeling, I slept on the van when I was tired. I slept with accompaniment of hymns, and woke up with accompaniment of hymns also! The feeling was sooo sweet, as if we are in the Kingdom of God!! =)
This blending not only made us get closer to Vietnamese saints, but also made us get closer to each other among ourselves. And most importantly, we have closer fellowship with our dearest Lord Jesus! I was really revolutionized through this trip. Praise the Lord for the blending!! Lord, gain us to be your overcomers, really gain us to be so genuine towards You with our very first love, gain us to be the group of people who turn the age, and bring you BACK!!!
