We have just had a wonderful time celebrating the Lord together with the covenant community in Jaipur. We have been with our family. We have rejoiced together with brothers and sisters. We danced for joy. We sang with gladness. We listened to marvelous testimonies about the goodness of God. We saw His glory in these precious people filled with love for the Lord. We shared the Word and we enjoyed the tea. We shook hands, and we embraced one another. Faces were smiling, voices were raised in exultation.

There is nothing in the world comparable to the covenant community. It is a mystery to the world but a glorious reality to the saints. Again this morning I was filled with awe in the presence of out lord. I was overwhelmed by his goodness towards us. It is a great privilege to serve the Lord in the covenant community. This morning as I was observing these precious people worshiping the Lord and loving one another I was will with thankfulness. God has been so good to us to allow us to be part of this covenant community.

Raju gave a moving testimony of coming back to the Lord, getting married and having a miracle child. Knowing him for many years I could see the deep change that had taken place in his life. Listening to his story of how doctors told that his wife could never conceive or have a child, but she did by the miracle power of God. At the end of her pregnancy the doctors told that the baby would be a Small tiny one. When she was going to give birth the doctors were saying that she needed an operation. But Raju and his wife believed for a normal birth, and by the grace of God she gave birth to a well born baby at around 3 kg. God is so good.

Madhu told of how she had received the spiritual gift of healing during our last visit. Together with her husband she has pioneered a covenant community at Bikaneer. They have seen some outstanding healings taking place. But I was so blessed just to look at her, for her face was shining, literally shining, when she told of her own healing from her skin disease in her face. Now her skin looked clean and smooth as that of a baby. Some people spat her in her face because of the skin disease, she forgave them and now she is totally healed! God is so good!
