The Longing Words by Joel Hanson

In each heart there is a longing
In each soul a desperate cry
To know if life has some true meaning
Or Do we simply live and die
Earthly pleasures and possessions Leave the sinking spirit dry
In each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies

In each life there comes the question
Is there more than meets the eye
And what will we see of the eternal
When the well of days runs dry? So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies

Mystery on a hillside
The purest love expressed Guilty lips cry forgive me
In that moment I found rest So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies

So listen to our hearts ~ Steven Curtis Chapman

How do you explain, How do you describe,
A love that goes from east to west,
And runs and deep as it is wide?

You know all our hopes, Lord, you know all our fears
And words cannot express the love we feel
But we long for You to hear

Chorus:
So listen to our hearts (oh, Lord, please listen)
Hear our spirits sing (and hear us sing)
A song of praise that flows (a simple song of praise)
From those You have redeemed (from those You have redeemed)
We will use the words we know
To tell You what an awesome God You are
But words are not enough
To tell You of our love
So listen to our hearts

If words could fall like rain
From these lips of mine
And if I had a thousand years
I would still run out of time

So if You listen to my heart Every beat would say,
“Thank You for the Life, thank You for the Truth, thank You for the Way.”

Dear Readers and Friends and my beloved Brethren, today I would like to quote the Bible Verse Matthew 5, as a context and discuss about what Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ teaches us the Believer how we should behave towards this world. We all know and witness the persecution of Christian in different parts of India, even in different parts of the World. But, Fear Not. For Jesus Christ said, “I have conquered the World”.

Yes, As a Believer, we are being tortured and persecuted because the World has hated us for we are the Children of the Living God, but do always remember Revenge will never and ever be an option, and it never was. The persecution started way back during the time of Adam, see Abel was killed by his own brother Cain because God love Abel and happy with his offerings. The jealousy of Cain started when knowing that God has chosen and blessed Abel, this same jealousy is what drives the World mad and hated the Love of God.

If you carefully analyses and observe Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” This is what makes us strong to overcome all obstacles and hindrance.
Our Lord Jesus Christ also said this in Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what rewards have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Yes , We may witness our loved ones being Killed or persecuted because they believed in God. There will be lots of hardship which we will faced before Our Lord came back to take us to heaven. However, be courage and remember my Brethren, we don’t belong to this world and we should always thrive towards our only goal, our only main goal is to go and preach the Gospel of Truth, the very word of God.
To love one’s enemies is a difficult task, but believe me its worth it for the Lord has said so. Exercise yourself; channelize your mind to walk the path of the light of salvation. The world we live in is not a place where we shall stayed forever, God has made a Home for us, and we are going there someday when the times comes. Do not be worried by the wealth, honor, troubles, suffering of this world, but rather worry whether your name is written in the Book of Life. To die in the eye of this World is nothing, but to die in the eye of The Living GOD, is very dangerous.

How to be God's Faithful Servants in the 21st Century

How to be God's Faithful Servants in the 21st Century
Dr. Christopher Sun

"To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers - not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away" (I Peter 5:1-4).
We are living in a generation filled with all kinds of media and obstacles in proclaiming the Gospel. Nevertheless, we must follow the methods of the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel; that is, through evangelism and actions we are to meet the real needs of the hearts of the people in the world, because every person needs the salvation of God. It does not matter who they are, whether they have religion or not, God has already prepared in their hearts the possibility to receive the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many people feel empty, lonely, guilty, restless and fearful in their hearts, and only Jesus Christ can truly satisfy them.
This is the world to which we are called to serve: a world filled with wars, confusions and tensions. The age that we are in is no better than the time in which the Apostle Paul served in his generation, yet he said, "When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power" (I Corinthians 2:1-5).
The Apostle Paul was a highly educated man, but he purposely did not use his wisdom of this world. He clearly pointed out.- "Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). If we do not preach the power of salvation which Jesus Christ has accomplished on the cross, how will people be saved and turn to the Lord? If we depart from the message of the cross, how can people be born again? If we divert from the salvation of the cross, then no one can enter the Kingdom of God; because only Jesus Christ said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
On the other hand, since God has given us the technology of television, we should use it to glorify Him. Yet we must use it carefully and cautiously, for if we depend only on technology and man-made publicity, we can not accomplish the commission given to us by God. Even the Apostle Paul also told us that the Gospel must be preached with spiritual power. Those who listen to the sermon are not listening to human voices, people need to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and only the Holy Spirit can "convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment" (John 16:8). Unless the Holy Spirit moves in the meeting place, no one can be truly saved. The preaching of the Gospel must go together with the presence of the Holy Spirit, otherwise no one can deliver a message piercing the hearts of listeners and lead people to repentance.
To those who have decided to be God's faithful servants, the Apostle Peter told us to "be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers". First of all, let us share the meaning of "be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care".
The Bible clearly tells us to use the Word of God and actions to shepherd God's flock.
Therefore, first, you must have faith in the Bible.
You must believe that the Bible is truly the Word of God, and it is the message that God gives to us. Whatever questions you or society is faced with, one can find similar examples in the Bible that will help you. You must truly believe the Word of God.
Second, you must study the Bible clearly and thoroughly.
When faced with any difficulty in the Bible, write your questions down and think about them. Pray and research in reference books, until every difficulty is solved completely. Do not allow any hole or doubt in your faith! Only then can you be God's faithful steward, a mighty warrior of faith.
Third, you must digest the contents of the Bible.
When you study the Bible, it needs to be like "eating in" the Word of God in order to use the Truth freely under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. How do we "digest" the contents of the Bible? The Bible tells us to "meditate" on the Word of God. The Psalmist said, "His delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers" (Psalm 1:2-3).
Fourth, you must act according to the Word of God.
How pitiful a person is if he can only preach the message yet can not practice what he says! Ask yourself what the Lord will say about your works when you stand in front of Him on that glorious day. Are those works "gold, silver and costly stones" or "wood, hay and straw"?
Our Lord Jesus Christ clearly said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"' (Matthew 7:21-23).
Now, what did Peter mean when he talked about "serving as overseers"?
First, you must often pray before God.
By doing so, you may know about His will more clearly. Few prayers lead to little power, and more prayers are associated with more power, because prayers can cause you to receive from God the power to serve. You must often pray. I saw many pastors, elders or leaders of the church gaining more responsibilities, so that they did not have time to pray. This is a very dangerous thing, because our enemy, Satan, who is the devil, always "prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (I Peter 5:8).
The higher the position of the ministry, the more you need to spend the time with the Lord through prayer. Because a policy, a plan, or a decision may influence the direction of all the flock, how can you make a right choice if you do not pray sincerely? You must be "serving as overseers" according to God's will, not 11 serving according to statistics, social management, personal desires or self opinion".
Second, you must discern cautiously.
Not all coworkers, Gospel organizations, Gospel movements are good, not all are according to God's will. Some build on the foundation of Jesus Christ using "gold, silver or costly stones", some use "wood, hay or straw" (I Corinthians 3:12). Some even divert from the Lord's way. Therefore, you must discern with careful examination and clear understanding. The Apostle Paul warned us that "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve"(2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
How do we discern? Our Lord Jesus Christ once said, "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them" (Matthew 7:18-20). The Apostle Paul also told us that "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control" (Galatians 5:22-23). You can use the fruit of the Spirit to discern. If a person diverts the teaching of Jesus Christ, you will quickly find out. By the grace of our Lord in past experience with many people, I have noticed that the fruit of the Spirit is the best method for discernment. The leaders or persons of responsibility for Gospel organizations or Gospel movements are very important, because they are the executives of policies. You may discern by talking with them and observing carefully.
But, you must be careful and cautious, especially toward those ministries which you do not understand. Do not criticize based on jealousy or personal bias, because judgment based on no evidence is truly dangerous. Jesus Christ said, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Matthew 7:1-2). He also said, "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" (Matthew 12:32). If you see things which you do not understand, you need to retreat and pray, asking God to help you discern. Do not hinder the works of the Holy Spirit carelessly based on your own opinion, old self or prejudice.
Time often is the best proof. The Chinese have an old saying: "Real gold is not afraid to be tested by fire." Whatever is real will be able to pass the test of time. If you are misunderstood, attacked, or persecuted at the beginning of your ministry, do not feel depressed, the Lord has seen all. Was not King David persecuted by Saul in the wilderness, yet he wrote psalms that touched millions of hearts? Did God fulfill all the promises concerning him later? Everything must have the Lord's good intentions, and He will vindicate us. Has He not said "It is mine to avenge; I will repay" (Deuteronomy 32:35)? Always remember that "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
Third, you must have knowledge, common sense and a broad mind.
You must have spiritual knowledge in order to discern cults and heresies. Spend much time deeply studying what are cults and heresies, so that you will not follow whatever others say and be tossed by the winds. I pray that before you step into the spiritual battlefields, you must know yourself and your enemies, then you can always win the battles through the power of God.
You must have common sense at the same time, because your common sense may help you to solve some of the problems encountered in the flock's daily living.
You must also have a broad mind, then you may work in the fields of the Lord and keep on running. Why do I say this? Because the Lord Jesus Christ said to Peter to forgive his brother seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22). A broad mind is not merely talking about the capacities to bear, it also indicates spiritual vision. Commit yourself to the Lord, present your requests to God, and you will become an extraordinary person for God to use.
Also, there are three "not"s and three "but"s mentioned by the Apostle Peter. He said, "not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
Let us start with the three "not"s.
First, "not because you must."
In serving God or ministering to people, you can not come out of "you must". If you are not sure whether God Has called you, do not become a fulltime minister. You may minister as a "tent maker", waiting for the calling to become clearer, then you can enter into the full-time ministry. Because a minister without a sure calling of God could easily fall and cause others to stumble, when he meets frustrations or trials on the road of ministry. This will certainly not glorify the name of God.
Second, "not greedy for money."
Some positions of ministry may have good compensation, yet you should never quench the original calling from the Holy Spirit because of this. When a Baptist pastor got cancer and asked me to replace his position in 1983, I voluntarily served in that church for nine months without any compensation. I could not accept any salary, because every time I asked the Lord concerning the direction of my ministry, the Lord always reminded me that He wanted me to do the work of evangelism. Finally, I submitted myself to the guidance of the Lord. For sixteen years, although the work of evangelism is hard, yet His grace is sufficient for me. The same reasoning may apply to you. If the Lord originally moved you to minister as a pastor, you should not leave your post. Every servant should act according to the moving of the Holy Spirit in each person.
Third, "not lording it over those entrusted to you."
The servants of God are given authority, but you can not misuse the authority which you may have. Even the Apostle Paul told us: "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?" (I Corinthians 4:20-21). The Lord Jesus Christ even washed the feet of His disciples the night before the crucifixion, and He said, "Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them" (John 13:14-17). Our Lord Jesus Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18), yet He shows gentleness and humbleness for His servants to follow.
Then, we come to study what the Apostle Peter said about the three "but"s: "But because you are willing, as God wants you to be; but eager to serve; but being examples to the flock."
We know what "willing" is and the meaning of "eager to serve", because all these attitudes come from the bottom of one's heart. This is the right attitude with which to serve others. Therefore, we want to share the meaning of "being examples to the flock":
"Being examples to the flock", passively speaking, means "do not cause others to stumble". If something is not constructive, try your best to avoid suspicion, do not do it. Similar examples can be found in the epistles of the Apostle Paul (Romans 14 and I Corinthians 10). Be careful with your tongue and behaviour, because "no man can tame the tongue" (James 3:8). The Apostle Paul also warned us that "among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an idolater - has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God" (Ephesians 5:3-5).
On the other hand, actively speaking, "being examples of the flock" indicates good behaviour and testimonies. The Bible says, "Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody" (Romans 12:17). We should proclaim the Gospel through love; without love in action, we have no other methods to prove our love for God. Jesus Christ said, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another' (John 13:34-35). If we compete with each other, attack and criticize one another, we shall all stand before the throne of God and render accounts.
Finally, I pray the Lord to lead every brother and every sister who decides to be God's faithful servant in the 21st century. May the Lord grant you strength upon strength, grace upon grace, make you humble in service, and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. The Apostle Peter told us, if we do so, "When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." Amen.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God our Heavenly Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, from now on and forever. Amen.

The Story of The Pencil ~by Paulo Coelho

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked:
'Are you writing a story about what we've done? Is it a story about me?
His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:

'I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I'm using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.'

Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn't seem very special.

'But it's just like any other pencil I've ever seen!'

'That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.'

'First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.'

'Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpner. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he's much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

'Third quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.'

'Fourth quality: what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.'
'Finally, the pencil's fifth quality: it always leaves a mark. in just the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action'

FOUR DAYS LATE~Gospel Song

The news came to Jesus please come fast.
Lazarus is sick and without Your help he will not last.
Mary and Martha watched their brother die
They waited for Jesus- He didn't come.
They wondered why.
The death watch was over; buried four days.
Somebody said He'll soon be here
The Lord's on His way.
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
"Lord if You had been here- You could have healed him. He'd still be alive.

But You're four days late; and all hope is gone.
Lord we don't understand why You've waited so long."
But His way is God's way.
It's not yours or mine
But isn't it great when He's four days late- He's still on time!

Jesus said, "Martha, show Me the grave."
But she said, "Lord You don't understand- he's been there four days!""
The grave stone was rolled back.
Then Jesus cried, "Lazarus! Come forth!"
Then somebody said, "He's ALIVE! He's ALIVE!"
Right now you may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried to the Lord "I need You now!" But He has not appeared.
My friend don't be discouraged
Cause He's still the same.
He'll be right here and He'll roll back your stone and He'll call out your name!
When He's four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why You've waited so long.
But His way is God's way it's not yours or mine
But isn't it great when He's four days late- He's still on time!
Oh my God it's great when He's four days late- He's still on time!!!

Just Let Me Say~Hillsongs(Gospel Song)

Just let me say how much I love You
Let me speak of Your mercy and grace
Just let me live in a shadow of Your beauty
Let me see You face to face

And the earth will shake as Your Word goes forth
And the heavens will tremble and fall
But let me say how much I love You
Oh my Savior, my Lord and Friend

Just let me hear Your finest whispers
As You gently call my name
And let me see Your power and Your glory
Let me feel Your spirit's flame

Let me find You in the desert
Till this sand is holy ground
And I am found completely surrendered
To You my Lord and Friend

So let me say how much I love You
With all my heart I long for You
For I am caught in this passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in You

And the depth of grace, the forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say how much I love You
Oh my Savior, my Lord and Friend (x2)

Just makes me say how much I love You
Oh my Savior, my Lord and Friend

Jesus Died For All! ~ Selected(Christ is Victor)

There was once a big turntable bridge, which spanned a large river. During most of the day, the bridge sat with the length running up and down the river parallel with the banks allowing ships to pass freely on both sides of the bridge. But, at certain times of the day, a certain train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river allowing the train to cross.

A switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river, where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place when the train crossed. One evening, when the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance, through the dimming twilight, and caught sight of the train's light. He stepped to the controls and waited until the train was at a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge. He turned the bridge into position, but to his horror, he found that the locking control didn't work. If the bridge was not locked securely into position, it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came to it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. This would be a passenger train with many people aboard.

He left the shack with the bridge turned across the river, and hummed to the other side of the river, where there was a lever, which he could use to operate the lock manually. He could hear the rumble of the train now, and leaned backwards to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge. Many lives depended upon this man's strength.

Then, coming across the bridge from the other direction, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. "Daddy, where are you?" His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. His first instinct was to cry out to the child. "Run! Run'" But the train was too close. The tiny feet would never make it across the bridge in time. The man almost left the lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety, but he realized he could not get back to the lever in time. Either the people on the train, or his son, must die. He took just a moment to make his decision. The train sped swiftly and safely on its way, and no one on board was even aware of the tiny, broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the rushing train. Nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of a sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed. They didn't see-him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked to tell his wife how he had sacrificed their son.

Now, if you can comprehend the emotions, which went through this man's heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our Heavenly Father, when He sacrificed His Son to bridge the gap between us, and eternal life. Can there be any wonder that he caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when His Son died? And how does it feel when we speed along life without giving a thought to what was done for us through Jesus Christ?

When was the last time you thanked Him for the sacrifice of His dear Son?

Malsawm tu Lalpa ~ Khanmang (Vaiphei Gospel Song)

Malsawm tu Lalpa, la malsawm nate, La mite a di’n chan gual lou ahi;
La hepina le, la hausak na chu, Mihing kamsuak in a genseng zou puai.

Chaga-Genthei te, sawmdawl tu Lalpa,
La loupi na di’n bangkim ka bawl teu,
Chantawk ah lungawi dan ei zil sak in,
Mihing lunggil in thu hung gen kit in.

Khanglai leh naupang, Nute leh Pate, La angsung zuan in ka hung khawm kit tau;
La thagau thiangtho in ei hun pawl in, limna kipakna nang ngei chu lahi.

La malsawm na thu, ka dawn teu hawhi, la gam a ding in hung mangzel inla;
Thilhithei nate, la dawigual bang in, hung vukthak kit in kei uh di’n Lalpa.

Teach Me Lord To Wait~ Gospel Song

Teach me Lord to wait, down on my knees;
Till in your own good times, you answer my pleas,
Teach me not to rely on what others do,
But to wait in prayer for an answer from you.

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings as Eagles,
They shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait.

Teach me Lord to wait, when hearts are aflame,
Let me humble my pride and call on your name,
Keep my faith renewed, my eyes on thee,
Let me be on this Earth, what you want me to be.

Puitu Ginum ~ Khanmang ( Vaiphei Nam Laa)

Leisiat chunga mite, hawn a del u..
Thunei na leh hausak na mai a buai pi tau,
A siamtu Pathian, lunglam ahawl puau,
Bangti khantou ding, Pathian pang lou in.

Puitu gin um ka ngai ui, Nam lungsiat mi ginum.
Nangma zaa ahi ka dawi
Ka khual zinnau, leisiat chunga, mite musit in ka um zou tai,
Lalpa hung sawl in ei panpitu ding, Nangma Zaa ahi Ka dawi.

Malai Israel Nam, puitu te haw kha,
Amau kikul hilou hial in la kou dawk a..
Hung kou in Lalpa, kei uh ei puitu ding,
Ka genthei sawt tau, ka zinnau gam a.

Nam ei puitu ding, Pu Sawmkholal,
Gam leh Nam ei vengbit piak din’n Pu Kaikhogin,
Nam dammaw sawmdawl din’n Pu Lamminthang.
Puitu ginum te’n ei liam san zou tau.

Love Of GOD

"The Love Of God"

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

Could we with ink the ocean fill?
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill?
And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

Hallelujah [3x]

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

Life

LIFE-

“What is Life? Who made us? Where do we come from? And why do we live in this Earth?” Have you ever asked yourself on this question? Or Are you ever curious about it?

Life is full of mystery, obstacles, full of wonderful moments, happiness and sadness. But to me-
Life is a very precious which God has given to us as a gift and out of Love. The Love of God that reaches beyond our imagination, the Love of God that Tongue or Pen can ever tell. There was always a debate on Man’s evolution, a believed which The Great Scientist Charles Darwin wrote on his belief, but I would say He is definitely wrong. I have a reason to argue with that; According to Charles Darwin, “Man evolves from Apes”, but let me ask this if Man evolved out of Apes, where does Apes come from? Who made Apes? If it was to be true and Apes are made by God, then there is no argument in it that Man is made by God himself.
When you are born to this world, you have a choice to live and indulge in any activities you want. However, you don’t have a choice or guaranteed that you will live forever.
God save you from your Mother’s womb, guiding you to this world, helping you grow up. He forced you none, he demand you nothing, but ask you only one thing~To believe in him. Be a true servant for him, to glorify his name and to praise him with Love.
You can enjoyed your life at the fullest, the way you want it, but do remember, you will be judge one day when the time comes. You will be judge according to your deeds.
It will not be how much you earned, how many wives and husbands you have, it will not be how much you donate or how rich or poor you are. It will just be between you and God, and how you do the will of the Father.
Jesus died for your sin not just because it was said so or it has to be done, but because He loves you. That is life and that is the LOVE of GOD.

Chung Tang Van ah ~C.Hoiniang (Vaiphei Nam Laa)

Chung thang van ah sawltha a hung eng chang in
Asiamtu Chung Pathian ka gel zing.
Len gual zatam nuam in a leng dial dial ui…
Pak gim tui in Gam tin a zem.

Aw nang ka gam ka lenna gam mun nuam
Zatam nun nuam ka bual na.
A sunga leng la vawnchawi zosia te’n
Chul mai ding in ka phal thei puai ZOGAM, chul lo zen in.

Tang tin leh mual tin muisum in a bawm e..A gam thingle pak tin in a zem
Zuu leh vaa te’n nuam in zaila’n nau bang awi
ZOGAM pak luun zing hen a tiu.

Sun ni hung sa’n, chul thinglim dap nuai ka bel.
Zatam gen zou siktui ka dawn hi,
Chung leng vaa te’n nuam in zaila’n awi in.
Chenna zoulei aw a nuam ngei.

Kei Uh Nang Uh ti Umda Hen ~Puii ( Vaiphei Nam Laa)

Hepina a ki sawm dawl tua in, Lung thim munkhat a ding khawm in.
A ching, a thiam, a hau te’n le, Chaga genthei te sawm dawl in.
A vai te’n le ginum na tudet in, Tawmngaina-Taimatna tudet in.
Unau laigui khaukhat zawp ngen I hiu, Pung le chang in kuama khenda hen
Suapi unau kuama’n khenda hen.

Kei uh, Nang uh ti umda hen, Nang uh Kei uh tile um da hen la,
Sungkhat suan a piang ngei ngei I hiu-(2)

I Gam leh Nam khantou na ding in, A poimaw pen hi Tawmngaina.
Chi leh Nam khan mawbawk hi, nang uh kei uh ti… hi ahi.
I Nam zaa um ahithei na ding in, Tangval suan um Pasal pha a pawimawi.
I Nam pak bang a luun thei nading in, Nungak ginum la hi a pawimawi.
Bangkim hithei tu vang Lalpa ahi.
