Song: ຈົ່ງມີຄວາມເຊື່ອໃນພຣະອົງເຖີດ (Have Faith in Him) Lao Christian Song

 

ຈົ່ງມີຄວາມເຊື່ອໃນພຣະອົງເຖີດ ພຣະອົງເປັນທຸກສິ່ງ

You have to have faith in belief in God. God is everything

ເປັນທຸກຢ່າງ ທີ່ໃຈຂອງເຮົາເຝົ້າເພິ່ງພາ

and all things. Our Hearts are near/close to God

(*) ມີຄວາມເຊື່ອຫນ້ອຍຫນຶ່ງ ພູເຂົາກໍເລື່ອນໄດ້

Having a little faith Can move the mountain

ປ່ຽນສິ່ງຮ້າຍຫນັກໃຈກາຍເປັນດີ

Change the weak into being strong

ຮ່ວມຄວາມເຊື່ອຮ່ວມໃຈ ຮ່ວມກັນໃຊ້ລິດເດດ

Put your faith in your heart/mind

ຈະໄດ້ເຫັນເຖິງການອັດສະຈັນ

Then you will see a miracle

ເບິ່ງຄົນັ້ນທີ່ເຂົາຫາຍ ພຣະເຍຊູຊົງຮັກສາ

Look at the lost person. Jesus is the one who is watching

ຕາມພຣະສັນຍາທີ່ຊົງປະທານໃຫ້

According to the Scripture/Promise. The Words given to us ບໍ່ມີເຫນຶອສິ່ງໃດແລ້ວທີ່ຈະຍາກເກີນໄປ

There is nothing more than that . There is nothing difficult about it

ມາຮ່ວມໃຈເຊື່ອໃນພຣະເຍຊູ (*)

Come gather and believe in Jesus

ມາຮ່ວມໃຈເຊື່ອໃນພຣະເຍຊູ

Come gather and believe in Jesus

ມາຮ່ວມໃຈເຊື່ອໃນ.....ອົງພຣະເຍຊູ.

Come gather and believe in Jesus alone

 

Responsive Psalm 142

 

With my voice I cry to the Lord;

    with my voice I make supplication to the Lord.

I pour out my complaint before him;

    I tell my trouble before him.


 

When my spirit is faint, you know my way.

In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

Look on my right hand and see—

    there is no one who takes notice of me;

no refuge remains to me;
no one cares for me.

 

I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge,

    my portion in the land of the living.”

Give heed to my cry,
for I am brought very low.

Save me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

 

Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name.

The righteous will surround me,
for you will deal bountifully with me.

 

Glory be to the Father, and the to Son, and the Holy Spirit;

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 

 

Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 17: 7 – 24

Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came to him: “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”

12 “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”

13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’”

15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?”

19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” 21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!”

22 The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!”

24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth.”
