Saya Rahmo (Myanmar)
Hello everyone! My name is Rahmo, and I am of Chin ethnicity. I am married and have two daughters and a son. I have been serving God in church for six years in Tachileik. I am so thankful to God for the opportunity to testify.
God is so good to me, and He is the one who has let me live until now. I want to testify about God's goodness to me.
When I first arrived in Tachileik, I faced a life of danger. One day, when I went to the other side of the stream to set up a net, the water didn't rise when I went, but when I returned, it had. At that moment, my raft went into the water, and I was in the middle of the stream, holding on to the rope, and I was in a state of near death. At that moment, I prayed to God to let me live. God heard my prayer.
He guided me to pull slowly on the rope I was holding and to go to the other shore. The stream I went to was quite large, so it was a bit of a scary situation. But I held onto the rope and slowly made my way to the other side. It was only by the grace of God.
What came to my mind at that moment was that I was a mortal, but God allowed me to live. Now I live with the life that God gave me. Another thing I want to testify is that I am an English tutor outside. One day, I was afraid that if I was late for class, I would be late to get home, so I quickly took a shower and got ready to go to tutoring.
So, I was in a hurry to go to class before my hands were dry, and when I tried to unplug my phone from the charger, I was electrocuted and I passed out but, but I didn't die.
So I began to feel that God had a great plan for me. I was living only with the life that God gave me. Even though I had weaknesses in the past and didn't live according to God's will, I thank God for allowing me to live whenever I faced situations where I could die.
With Colossians 1: 16 "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.", God reveals in my life.
In this verse, we see that God created all things for His own use. When that word came into my life, it was a great blessing. Every day that I lived after that, I realized that I did not belong to myself, but to God.
After that, when I was involved in God's work, when I was doing evangelism, and when I was teaching in a Bible school, I experienced many difficult times, but I felt that my life was not my own but for God. I want to encourage those reading this to know that God has a purpose for us when He brings us to this world. I believe that some of you who are reading this will also face situations where you will have to die.
Why does God give us life? He gives us life to expand His kingdom and to reveal His glory. We owe Him the life He gave us.
What keeps me alive is to do God's will. So, when I don't know if I will be able to reach tomorrow, I want to encourage you to participate in His service from the side that we can.
