Sermon on Prayer that Change the World in Chin translated into Burmese

Teaching On The Covenant of God For All Nations Throughout Histories in the Bible

1. The very first command of God to human kind is to be fruitful, increase in numbers and fill the earth and subdue it. Gen 1:27-28.

2. Even though human beings failed to fulfill God's command and His purpose in live for them, God continued to make a covenant with Noah after the flood. Gen 9: 1-2 .

3. Again, human beings disobeyed God by building Babel Tower so that they would not be scattered around the world. But God Himself  fulfilled his command by scattering them around the world and confusing their languages. Gen 11.

4. God began to call a man called Abram to fullfill his covenant. Gen 12; 15:5-6; 22:15-18.

5. Call of Moses.....Exodus 2 and 3.

6. God said My House will be called a house of prayer for all nations.(But not only for a specific nation) Isaiah 56:1-7. Jesus quoted this verse in Mark 11: 15-16.

7. The great commission given by Jesus Christ is to make diciples of all nations, reaching them throughout the end of the earth by the Gospel. Matt 28: 16-20; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:19-21; Acts 1:8.

8. When the believers in Jerusalem did no reach the world, they were scattered by persecution. Acts 8 :1-7.

Our mission as a church is to reach the people who are outside the church. We are not just to satisfy as being a big congregation or having big buildings for the church. But we are to reach the people outside the church. That's our call...............................

A Meeting With 7 Leaders From The Ottawa Chin Believer Fellowship (Febuary, 2011)

On Saturday night this pastFebuary, after the service 7 leaders of the fellowship held a meeting to meet me and discuss about how I can be a help for them in teaching and preaching. As my friend Gary and the church in Brampton allow me and open the door for both sides, their request to visit them at least once a month has been confirmed.

So, I will go and visit them in Ottawa on  March 25th. I will be preaching there until sunday night.

Please stand with me through prayer. Your prayer support is highly appreciated.

Blessings,
William.

Today Updates

We had a great Sunday worship service and the Lord's Supper today. Gary preached, Steve presented the New Testament Church leader, Apollos.. I presented my last two songs and explained them a little about how I came to write those songs. Chirs and Sara, Cassity and Kaiya were in Texas.

After the service, I went with Steve and his family again. First of all we went to his parents home as we usually do. His parents really love me and care for me. I love them too. They also blessed me financially especially for my next trip to Ottawa.

Then, we went to a Bowling Game Center. We played three times for 2 hours. Steve won the first, I won the second, Heather won the second point for one game. Hayley won the third for two game.

It's funny and good to play., but totally different from the Wii game on the TV. The balls were really heavy.
On our way back home, Steve and Debbie bought a memory stick (4GB) for me to keep some of my pictures on file.

Thank you so much to Steve, Debbie, Heather and Hayley for spending their precious time and money for me. May the most high God give back to them for their gifts they have spent on me.

Blessings,

How I Spent March 17th, 2011 ( Learing About Maple Syrup)

Gary, Wendy and I went to Mountsberg today to see how they take the Maple Syrup from the Maple tree and taste it.

We saw a lot of new things there as we went through out the Maple Town. I got to learn the process of how they developed the way to make maple syrup in a far more effective way for people (the customers) and the business owners themselve to get more income. Gary taught me a lot of useful business techniques and theory as we continued to talk about business throughout our way. I am thankful for that.

I ate two big pancakes like Gary, but Wendy only ate one. We put the butter on them and poured pure sweet Meaple syrup on our pancakes. They were  really tasty. I like it.

While Wendy was ordering Pancakes for us

A big thanks to Gary and Wendy for spending their precious time, money and life for me.

After we visited there Gary and Wendy dropped me off to Steve and Debbie's house. Steve was at work. From there we went to McDonald for lunch. Unfortunately, I dropped a coke right in the middle of where the people were lining up for lunch.The restaurant replaced it with another new one. However, we had a great lunch and a great day.

Tasting the sweet water from Maple trees

After lunch, We went to Shoppers Mall for my hair-cut. It was the place where Debbie used to have her hair-cut. The Italian woman who cut my hair said that my hair is very thick. It was the same with the last haircut when Steve and Debbie brought me to Laos lady last two month.

A big thanks again to Debbie for a very nice haircut, luch. She cares for me a lot.

Answering Ph. call while watching the sweeet water cooking machine

When Steve came back from his work, he and Heather played a game with me.He cooked the best dinner for me and his family. After that we went to our Bible Study at Gary and Wendy's house. We had a really good time to hear the Word of God and pray for each other, believers and suffering people around the world.

This is how I spent my time today.

Blessings,
William.

Lunch At Japanese Restaurant with Can and Mylene's Family

Again, I had a great time with Can and Mylene's family , in whose home I live. We ate lunch at a Japanese Restaurant (Tika Sushi). Ms. Eliana (Ce Ce) is their daughter, 6 years of age and Mr. Gabriel (Tai Tai) is their son, 2 years of age.

I ate a lot today too. This is the second time we went to this restaurant for lunch with them. I enjoy the big fish's head fried.

We also went to one of the donation center to donate some of Can and Mylene goods and plates and other useful things for the poor people.

On our way back home, we also went to Ocean Mall to buy rice and some pork for me. The rice wason sale.

At night, we had Ce Ce and Tai Tai's Pizza picnic together.

May God abundantly bless this family... Amen.

Blessings,
William.

At Crawford Lake with Gary and Wendy

I had a good time visiting Crawford Lake With Gary and Wendy today. Iroquoian people used to live here in this land since before any other people from European countries came.

I received a piece of paper from Wendy that explains about Crawford Lake. It says "The Crawford Lake Conservation Area is a natural enviroment park that is managed by Conservation Halton. The 468 hectare park includes unique geological features, extensive forests, a rare meromictic lake and a 15th century reconstructed iroquoian village. The conservation area has significant natural habitat with a wide diversity of flora and fauna and approximately 19km of nature trails.
Crawford Lake is a rare meromictic lake that contains information about the natural and cultural history of the area. Located atop the Niaga Escarpment, this small deep body of  water has limited circulation and little oxgen below 15 metres (total depth of 24 metres). This ensures the preservation of the annual deposits of sediment called varves. Similar to counting growth rings on a tree, these doubled layered bands can be accurately dated. Studies of the sediment led to the discovery of the nearby iroquoian village.

We also watched (A Sweet Water Show) native style maple syrup presentation.Three ladies explained about the first people( Iroquoian) who lived on this land. They tried to figure out about sweet water from the Maple Trees about 500 years ago.

All Iroquoian people were traditionally farmers who grew three main crops; corn, beans and squash, known to the people as the Three Sisters. These were planted and cultivated in extensive fields surrounding the village. Tobacco and sunflowers may have been grown within the village.

I stood on Crawford Lake. It is about 24 metres deep. The water is frozen and thick enough to walk on it. Cars and even trucks can be driven on the frozen water at some other places.

We returned to Gary's houseand had supper together deliciously cooked by Wendy.
A big thanks to Gary and Wendy for taking their time with me today.

Blessigs,
William.

How I Spent My Time on Sunday, March13, 2011

Again, we had a great time to worshipping the most High God at the Breakfast Church (Heartland Fellowship Baptist Church).

Gary encouraged us from the Word of God. Steve and Chris continued to give their presentation. Sara led us in her beautiful songs.

I also sang my tenth new song that is called " He Is Patient To Prove His Love For Me".

After the service, I went with Steve, Debbie, Heather and Hayley for lunch. First of all, we went to Steve parents' house. After we had good fellowship and talking together, we went to Georgetown for Lunch at "Angels Family Restaurant".

I had spagetti with meat sauce for my lunch. On our way back home, we stopped at the Apple Factory and got a candy apple, maple sugar candy and rhubbarb. I also tried apple cider.

When It was time to go home, Debbie dropped me off at my home.

This is what I did and how I spent my time today,.

My big thanks to Steve and his family for spending time with me every Sunday. I love it and appreciate it.

Thank you so much everybody!

Blessings,

William.

He Is Patient To Prove His Love For Me (March 12, 2011) My Tenth New Song

He Is Patient To Prove His Love For Me

1. When I look back at my past life;
    I lived my life as my will led me;
   The way I lived my life always disgraced my God.

Chorus: How deep is His Love;
              He did not repay me;
              He's always patient with my deeds;
              It's just because He proves how much He loves me.

2. When I look back at my old life;
    My sins were enough to put me to death.
    He did not judge me at once.
    He rather gave me a chance to repent.

3. When I look at my daily life;
    I sometimes do what my inner (man) dislikes.
   But he (my innner man) does not delight,
   Living in evil things anymore.

Blessings,
William.

Short Video of Eternal Flame Just In front of The Parliament Building

The people who live there told me that this fire is burning 24 hours every day just as it is in the video. Many other people were also coming to see it. We had to line up to go to the top tower of the peace. The tower was the only one  available to go and see that day.

I had a really good time with Saya U Kunga and Saya Lian.

A big thanks to both of them.

Blessings,
William.

At Good Life Fitness Instructors Meeting

I had a really great privelege to speak about 15 minutes at Good Life Fitness Instructors Meeting yesterday. The meeting started from 7:30pm to 9:30 pm. They are friendly and kind people. They are very active too. Sara was leading the meeting. There were about 60 instructors attending.

The following is a review of my presentation.

Good evening every body. It's my great privelege to stand before you............

First of all I would like to give my thanks to Sara for giving me this opportunity to speak at this meeting.

Let me tell you about myself. I am leading a Christian Network in Myanmar. There are about 30 other pastors working in my network. We help poor and needy people around us. We create jobs for those who have no work. We teach children who can not attend School because of financial problems. We encourage our people that there is hope for life.........

I also told them about why I came here to Canada and how I feel it.... December 3rd was really cold for me...the beautiful snow....the trees had no leaves which susprise me a lot. They love to hear about it becausese they were laughing at me while I was telling about it. I also joined the body pump class taught by Sara. She also shared with me about the 7 core values of Good Life Fitness, which are;  Passion, Peak Attitude, Personal Fitness, Integrity, Trust, Caring, Happiness.

Even though we are in a different parts of the world, our goal to help people is the same. Therefore I would like to share with you what is in my heart and what I have learned in my life so far.

I Am “Fighting For Good Life” Every Day!

As a human person, we write our own history every day. It’s very important that we behave good in our own lives because that good life impacts others.

It is our choice to do good things both to ourselves and to others as it is in the core values of Good Life Fitness.

How we live our livies today is very important. Because it is not just for today. It will impact our future and the next generation. So, your part of life in doing what is good is very important for the better future of our world.

We don’t know how long we will live our lives here on earth. Death has no choice of ages. Our life does not depend on our wealth.

Life is so short. However, what you have done in your life time will still remain forever. If you lived a worse life than people around you, people will continue to hate you, even after you die, like Hitler, a Nazi Leader who killed millions of people for power. He was hated by people generation after generation around the world. Even though we were not born at that time, what he did and how he behaved still impacts our life. Do you want to leave your bad history to the next generation?

For me, the most wise person in the world is the person who can think better thoughts about his future and make the best way for the next generation after him.

If you lead a good life during your life time, it will not only make you have a good life  but also it will impact your family, community and nations around the world. It will create a better world for our generation and the next.

We can also learn through the life of the first President of the United States “Abraham Lincoln”. He freed the slaves and gave every person their own human rights. Because of the good life he had and did, we respect him in our heart and value what he did in the past long time ago. The history that he wrote will never end as long as the world exists.

How will we write our own history? What kind of story do you want to leave for our world?

You will reap what you sow. If we sow mangoes we will reap mangoes. If we sow bad things we will reap what is bad in our life. But If we sow what is good and right, we will reap what is good and right for our life.

Nobody in the world was born as a great person. We have many great prople in our world history. They were just normal like us. But they just had the right heart and did what is right and good.

No matter who we are, what we are and where we are from, we can start doing what is right and good today. Let’s live our livrd in a healthy way for both  us and others around us.

As a Good Life Fitness Center, we have 7 core values. If we can follow them, that will mean that we are doing what is right and good for others. Then this will finally lead our community as a whole to have a better life.

Great people and best leaders always think how to serve and how to be a help for others. As we follow the 7 core values, we are playing the most important role of leadership in our communities that will impact our world.

Being a great and true leader is not about how much money, power and authority  we have. It is all about gaining a place or room in the hearts of the people.

Our world and community today need leaders who are not just giving commands to others but doing themselves what is good and right by their own lives. The most powerful way to teach and speak into people’s lives and hearts is showing them our real life experiences.

As we are doing what is right and good on the way, it may not be easy. But easy things cannot always be good for us. They rather give us bad results in our life. The proverb writer said “ If you find honey, just eat enough. If you eat too much, you will vomit.”  If we always expect easy things in our life, that will finally leads us into destruction.

Of course, we may face a lot of difficulties. But if it is necessary, let's commit ourselves to suffer for what is good and right. Let’s fight a good fight for a Good Life. Victory is waiting for us on the other side of our sufferings. It will not be so long. Please always remember, we are writing our own story and our own history for our world.

In conclusion, I would like to ask everybody a question. What kind of history do you want to leave behind you? Bad life or Good Life? But please always remember, we will surely reap what we sow.

Thank you so much!

Index:

The deeper question to think about ourselves is where shall we go after we die? Since we have a Spirit which cannot die inside us, our body and spirit are united while we are alive. But when the spirit inside us departs from our body, the body begins to die. We called this "death". For sure, our spirit has some where to go.

The world where we live our life today is just temporary. But the Good News is that we have an eternal home waiting for us after this life on earth. How can we reach there? It is very simple. First humble yourself and ask help from the most High God. He will tell you to invite and receive Jesus Christ, who gave His life for all the sinners, into your heart. By the very time you invite Jesus and say YES into your heart. He will live in your life and bring you home to eternity. For those who believe in Jesus Christ, death has no power over them.

If there is good, on the other hand, there is also bad. If there is light, on the other side there is also darkness....Likewise if there is Eternal home where there is full of joy and peace, there will also be Eternal judgment where the sinners will pay forever for what they did in their lives time on earth in the lake of fire. Who will go to this place after life? The people who don't have Jesus Christ in their heart ,will go this place.

So, that means we have two ways to choose to go after our life on earth has come to an end. We cannot choose after we die. The chance for choosing which way to go is a limited time for everybody that is only when we live our lives on earth.

The most wise person for God is the one who can think and prepare for his life after death and choose the eternal home With HIM (Jesus) even before his life on earth has expiried.

For me, I already have Jesus in my life. I am always happy and ready to depart from this temporary world and live with my LORD and Savior Jesus in my eternal home. I am very much looking forward to that day. Death has no power over me. The very day that I die will be the very day that I start living my eternal life with God.

How about you brothers and sisters???

Blessings,

William.

Remembering The Basic Principal of Our Salvation in Christ Everyday!

Actually God's truth in the Scripture is very simple. But many times, we try to understand it in a difficult way or different way than what God wants to teach us.

The truth is by putting our faith in Christ, who paid all the penalties of our sins, we are made righteous before God. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12.

While I am giving water Baptism

If God already made us righteous before Him through our faith in Christ, who can go against God by saying or thinking that we are not righteous? Who is greater than God in earth and heaven above? Many times we dare not trust God and His Words.That is the temptation and tool of Satan, trying to steal and oppress our Joy in God.

As a human (in the first Adam), we used to lost our joy in God in the garden of Eden. But the Good News is that we get back that joy by believing Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior ( the Second Adam).
Always remember your enemy, Satan will try to steal back your joy in the LORD by giving you many thoughts such as you are an unworthy, un-righteous and bad person. As you already know his tactic, don't get involved in his snare or don't put yourself in his way. Avoid him by trusting God alone and His Word. Remember, God does love you and always cares for you. Never give up, but always rejoice in all your circumstances. Thank the LORD for His love and care for you. Keep rejoicing even in the hardest times of your life; that joy will be a sign for your victory over those enemies and hard situations.

Whlie I am giving water baptism

It is very important to understand the basic principal foundation of our salvation and consider it in our heart every day. Keep remembering this basic principal of our salvation. It always helps me maintain my faith in Christ and restores my soul even in the hardest time of my life. If we summarize Paul's  letters, it is about standing firm in the joy of our salvation that we have when we first received Christ in our life. Don't forget about that joy. If we ignore or just forget the joy and basic principal foundation of our salvation in Christ, that will finally lead us to stray from our faith Or our faith cannot grow in a proper way. Then, we will become a burden for our church and other believers.



Baptizing

 God is so gracious to me throughout my life. He blesses me a lot. I am always happy and thankful for His kindness and blessings. I can't just sit without praising Him.Nothing can compare to my joy in the LORD for His salvation. He removed my sins away from me as far as the east is from the west and count His(Jesus) righteousness as my righteousness. He is my true treasure. In Him, I found a true peace of life. By putting my faith in Him, I was made righteous. I will not be disgraced by my circumstances and worldly things, for God does love me and cares for me.I am always trying to reach my goal which is to be like Christ who is also my best friend, My master, LORD and Savior. He never gives up teaching me to be like Him. He is full of love and patience.

Blessings,
William.
