.....my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

At Nong Tamleung there are two kindergarten girls Preem and Mook came and joined us before worshiping. We started telling the story and drawn up some story telling about their lives and as they know how to write they put that up in writing.

Genesis 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:6 And Jehovah repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was angry to His heart.
Genesis 6:7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air. For I repent that I have made them.

I just wondered that God who is love would not do that things then I come to realize that "And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air." He knows all the while what will happen but what we see with our worldly perspective and when the writer told this story it make it sound like God is really cruel. He love us and does not want people to die, if they just listen to him through His man.
Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:10 And Noah fathered three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Genesis 6:12 And God looked upon the earth. And, behold, it was corrupted! For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

God loves them as well as He loves us to day, even how much He want to save them but they did not listen to what He was telling them what will happen. The earth was fill with violence. Why? because the earth also was corrupt before God.

Mark 4:37 And there arose a windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
Mark 4:38 And He was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a headrest. And they awakened Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we perish?

And there arose a windstorm... who make windstorm. God did not make the windstorm. But..."The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." we can not blame God for having that windstorm. Lord Jesus did in Mark 4:39 And He awakened and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
.......
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.

This thoughts came to me to prove that God loves us so much in the way that even they deserved to die but God is always give them chances. They have not listen to what God want them to hear. God is so good and He is Holy ... He took a long time as long as our live to give us chances to tell us about how much He loves us.

In our lives there are many stories to tell. This month especially few weeks ago I was sadden to hear that Dong, the man who contacted cancer and we had an opportunity to tell him about the Good News and lead them to reconcile with Christ just pass away.
From that I learn that God Give us chances and even we are so sick and just about to perish, He send us to go to tell him about the Gospel and reconcile with the Lord. After he accepted Christ many things happen in his life the cancer grows and spread to the brain and eventually he gone to the glory.

Not so long after the incident, our Brother Khoo went to hospital, and the time was up to return to eternal home. We may think it's quire cruel to leave this world but Paul said in Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Paul knows that this world is just temporary and we just enjoy our temporary experience in this world.

To day 30 September 2011 I will as well remember that my neighbor Mr. Surapol, who had just accepted Christ few weeks ago has also went to the Lord. Last time we, I and Man, went to see him as eventually lead him to Christ and prayed asking the Lord to heal his tumor. As I walked to the car his wife came out and told me that she want to return the Bible to me as her husband has departed. I asked her how he gone away and then I told her about the Gospel, I told her about her husband's Salvation. I prayed that the Scriptures in Matthew chapter 5 can be revealed to her.

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn! For they shall be comforted. Lord, allow her lost and mourn for the lost during this period to reveal the real lost in her life if she does not know Jesus Christ, the Lord and the Savior. With her humility in her heart she can come to know the Savoir of this world.

1John 5:18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not continue to sin, but the one born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their dead.

As he taled I took his picture. This was many years back. That time his health still very good for his age.

That time he can still active as he care he walked and talked to those trippers, during Malaka's trip.

We enjoy coversation during dinner before return to Singapore

My wife called me on Monday night and told me that Belinda SMS her that Bro. Koo Oon Lock has been admitted to the hospital, but she added that nothing so serious because she saw him in the church last Sunday. Brother Koo is my big brother quite sometime back. When I went to Rhema Bible Training Center he was always had morning meetings next door with few of his friends, faithfully. I have always met him during break. Our respect to each other become friend and eventually partner in mission together. He followed me to Thailand, first time, in 2005 during school holiday. That trip a friend of mine who used to play golf together had accepted Christ. After he accepted Christ he lead so many to Christ. Even trained from the Bible Center I do not have experience in the work of the Holy Spirit in evangelism that way. Bro. Khoo spoke in English I translated.  The man told me that he does not really understand what we are talking about when Mr. Khoo asked whether he want to accepted Christ he just accepted. God has taken Mr.Sanyawoot's sinner prayer at his word. We do not know real condition of his heart but we left him with Peter and Nooch to look after him to walk with him and to advise him how to become Christ's disciple.
The man who far ahead of me, even I brought him to the game, but from his determination with in few months he left me behind in golf game and become the guru of many new players in teaching golf to many of them. I still remember that trip well even so many years past. That incident led to many things like jigsaw puzzle that called me back to Thailand to the mission to tell Thai people message of Good News. The mission is to tell them to know my Lord Jesus Christ, the most wonderful person I have just met. I became dirty dust of the world by world's standard. I have been cleansed up and eager to be used by the Lord. I have never been a good son of the family I fail everyone expectations. I have eventually know that i am even worst than the dirt of the world but so dirty even myself dared not even look to my life. I have been thinking about how scary to look to my own story. I used to proud of my story in those sinner acts. I even like to write to show it to the world. What I have to show? I am glad that Christ has pull me to his kingdom and revealed so many things and has open my blinded eyes to see His glory.
Brother Khoo Onn Lock was generous and very kind to many as well as to me. He is great supporter in many way, one thing is his faithful in doing thing. He seldom fail to come to the morning meeting rain or shine. I walked home with him many times. We spent time together and eventually walked together in mission. He raised up "Holidays with a Purpose" group of Volunteers In Mission from 2008 and after that every year. He even booked for this year even paid in advance. We know that even his spirit is willing but physically he so weak. I was even planning to go back to see him after this teaching tip to Myanmar people in Mae Sot and the Bible camp in Pradumri. Because I know that he can not make this trip with his group.
I was just camback from buying blackink for my printer. My wife called me earlier but started with sorrow sound and said that Mr. Khoo has gone to the Lord but I told her that we should not make that longing ceremonial hypocrite sound but a joyfulnoise as we know where he is going. I personally do not like to walk in this world like brother Khoo did. For so many decades after his wife gone to the Lord he still expressed the memory I don't like to describe it. We talked about it so many time about those feeling he had. Only 3 days in the hospital we easily went to the Lord. I just want to remember him about his kindness, his generosity, his caring, his faithfulness, and many experiences he testified about his life in Christ. Brother, we only have eternity experience in this temporary world, so short and not even worth to consider this world as our home, so that make Paul said in Philippians 1:21 that: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 


Matthew 10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received freely, freely give.
 
Matthew 11:5  the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel proclaimed to them.

Revellation 14:13  And I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they shall rest from their labors, and their works follow them.

"Paew" is the man in strip blue shirt who has just newly accepted Christ.
On Saturday we left Rangsit Methodist church early in the morning straight to Klong Kum. Only purpose we have in mind was to worship with people in the Klong Kum village but we do not know that God has His agenda. Our relationship with them counted quite a long while back since 2008. To day is not another day but the day that the Lord has made and He has a purpose in it. That what I can see after  "Paew" has accepted Christ.
When we walked in that morning and sat down for a while a man, "Paew", from his house near the temple walked in. He told us that he just went to evangelized event in "SeeQue" and come back late last night. At first it sound like he is a Christian normally go at the gathering. No body pay attention to him because everybody thought he is another Christian from another church. I just the only one suspected and asked him to come in to worship with us but he gave an accuse. My suspicious arise and asked of how he know Our Lord Jesus. he sat outside the room until we finished the Bible teaching. He is wonderful seeker but he doesn't know how to pray to become one. I then asked him to sinner pray. After he has a sinner prayer his attitude changed and desided to come in and worship the Lord with us. This is, I can say that a divine appointment and very encouraged that the Lord use me to be His vessel to led another of His Children back to His Kingdom. Hallelue Yah !. He is always show me in this way so many times to save His lost child.

After service we went to Oit's house near-by to take a picture of the gathering place Noi has built by himself. He have to sell their cow to buy the roof. They have wonderful faith. When we see people faith we are now scare to come to help them. We have to allow the Lord to bless them instead as well as reveal to them of His blessings.
