CREATING A NEW BEGINNING.

The reason God created days,weeks,months, and years is for demarcation:so that we can have opportunity for a fresh start,in order to change or improve on the previous.God is a God of new beginnings.He gives us the opportunity to push the mistakes and failure of yesterday behind us and embrace the bright future that is set before us.Why do we have night for instance?It is so that you can sleep over the failure of the day and wake up with a refreshed mind for greater achievements.Why does the sun rise every twenty four hours?It is to give you hope that you are face to face with new opportunities.Why do we have a new year very twelve months?It is to close the chapter of the previous year,and open a new one.At every new beginning,God is saying to you "FORGET THE PAST AND CREATE SOMETHING NEW".He said in Isaiah 43:18-19,"REMEMBER YE NOT THE FORMER THINGS,NEITHER CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD.BEHOLD,I WILL DO A NEW THING,NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH;SHALL YE NOT KNOW IT?I WILL MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT".So,if you enter a new day or new year with the mentality of the past,you are only cheating yourself.Every new beginning is an opportunity to create something new. One major experience that stagnates people in life is failure.Failure is not strange to human existence.God is aware of it and He has made provisions for it in case it occurs.Scriptures makes us to understand that beyond every failure is success,beyond an end is another beginning and beyond every disappointment is an appointment.The bible says "FOR A JUST MAN FALLETH SEVEN TIMES AND RISETH UP AGAIN(PROVERBS 24:16).In the race of life,it is not strange to fall as there is no one who has never fallen before whether physically or otherwise but it is unacceptable to remain in that fallen position. Failure is never final!You can always succeed again if you have failed.People who remain failures are not so because they have failed but because they have buried their success in past disappointments and mistakes.It is refusing to rise up from your fall that makes you a reproach and announces to people that you have fell.Everybody is busy pursuing something.If you fall and get back on your feet immediately,no one will notice it.They may think that you simply bent down to pick something from the ground.But when you sit down on the same spot,nursing your wounds and crying:people would begin to sympatise with you.That is when it seems difficult for you rise up on your feet again. One good thing about failure is that it teaches you how not to fail again.It is unfortunate to see many people suffer the same predicament over and over again because they won't learn lessons from the past.They don't sit down to consider what led to their fall or look for the areas where they need to make some adjustments so as not to fall again,so they keep failing.If you have failed in any area of your life,sit down and ask yourself,"WHERE DID I MISS IT?" look over the happenings of the past and pick your lessons so as to move on! No matter how bad the past has been,you can create a new beginning for yourself.You can put an end to the undesirable event in your life and introduce constructive changes that would lead to better results.You can move on from your sad past into a bright future,from the floor to the top,from the tail end to the fore front.But it does not just happen."FOR EVERY HOUSE IS BUILDED BY SOME MAN"(HEBREWS3:4).IF YOU WANT A NEW BEGINNING,YOU MUST CREATE IT.Whatever existed in your life before now that looks like failure,setback,confusions,depression or oppression will only come to an end when you refuse to remain in the past and take steps to create a new beginning for yourself. You don't wait for a change,you

create the change that you desire.Most people claim that they are waiting not knowing that they are wasting.Waiting without doing something is wasting without knowing!The longer you wait without doing something,the more failure overtakes you.You have waited long enough,start doing something."......THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM AND VOID...AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD M0VED...."God is a mover.He does not watch situations.He moves.Creation resulted out of that movement.You have folded your hands long enough;it's time to MOVE!

FOOTPRINTS.

Large percentage of people in the world look up to heaven for help when they are faced with problems. They always want an instant solution to their problems but when the problems continue to persist,they wonder if God is still with them. Some people even dare to ask questions that disproves the existence of God. Some will even ask why their prayers are not answered but here is God on the throne saying I am with you always. He said in his word that when you pass through the waters,He will be with you and through the river,it shall not overflow thee. When you walk through the fire,thou shall not be burnt neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. God is telling us that He is with us no matter what we are going through. Many are going through hard times. They shout,cry and wail when the situation is not getting better. They believe that they are going through the predicament all alone but here is God telling you that you do not notice the "foot print". Many don`t believe the He is with them because their situation seem to be getting worse. Some say with their mouth that God is with them but they look for alternative solutions thereby contradicting themselves. God was with Joseph when he went through tough times. It seemed as if Joseph was going to end his life in the prison but God was there with him because the affliction he was facing was just for a moment. The word of God says "surely there is an end and the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut-off" i.e there is always an end to that problem you are faced with. It is only for you to notice that God is there with you in that situation. Job is another man that went through a lot of hard times. He lost all that he had in a twinkle of an eye. Imagine a rich man with lots of properties,a beautiful wife and lovely children. That was the person of Job but he lost everything and was infested with diseases. Everything went upside down for him and his life became miserable. Any right thinking man would have suggested that God was not with Job but in the actual sense God was with him. His case looked as if there will be no end to his problems but surely there was an end. There is an end to that situation you are going through. All you need to do is to notice the sign and follow the foot print. Recognize that God is with you and notice the foot print that leads to the desired end. The foot print that is being discussed here is God`s arm. It brings about leading and direction to us in times if trouble. The unfortunate scene we have today is that many of us are far away from the foot print and that is why we can`t notice it. Some of us needs to check ourselves. God is saying that his hand is not too short that He can`t save you but your iniquities has made him far from you. This means God cannot dwell inside a sinner. A sinner cannot even notice the sign of the foot print and to you that have,search yourself and don`t ever doubt that God is with you because if you doubt,then He will withdraw himself from you. God wants you to know that when you are crying,He is moved. Consider the case of Lazarus,Jesus wept when He saw his condition. Relax,God cares about you.

MY JESUS.

He is my SOURCE who has no SOURCE He is my LIFE who laid down his LIFE He is my HOPE when I could not COPE He is my JOY when I suffer and COY. He is my BREATH when shaked up by DEATH. He is my LORD whose words are sharper than SWORD. He is my FATHER who protects me with his FEATHER He is my BROTHER who puts my life in ORDER. He is my FRIEND never a FIEND. He is my LOVER in whom I found COVER He is my PARTNER who has been my BANNER He is my HELPER when sin made me a LEPER. He is my FORTRESS in whom there is no STRESS. He is my BUCKLER when I was a TODDLER. He is my ROCK to whom I run when I am in STOCK. He is my STRENGTH when weakness grows in LENGTH. He is my KING only his praise I SING. He is my MIGHT when my foes rises against me in FIGHT. He is my CREATOR and my best AUTHOR. He is my DIRECTOR never a DICTATOR. He is my MANAGER who came as a MESSENGER. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST THE KING OF KINGS.

ALWAYS REMEMBER.

Always Remember: That things would definitely fall in place. That everything would have shape. That when time comes,they will become visible. That you are going places. That this is the time to work. That there is tomorrow for you. That no human being can help you there. That every day,dreams are fulfilled. That visions for the race are received. That there will be a time to look back. That then you would have something to show for life. That everybody is not headed for the same direction. That God is all sufficient. That everyday,a unique thing must be done. That whatever happens,you will get there. That you will have a destiny to fulfill. That life has no duplicate. That you will be on earth once. That the world is expecting much from you. That life will continue when you are no more. That you have got many lives to affect. That you are among the captains of your life`s ship. That God will help you if you acknowledge him. That now is the time to remain focused. That now is the time to actualize/achieve your destiny. That this is the time for maximum hard work. That God will help you to fulfill your DESTINY.

A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST.

God invested a lot in man. His investment can be seen in man`s initial creation and in his re-creation after his fall from his initial creation by the death and resurrection of his dear Son. This re-creation made man to be a new creature. This article exposes the need for us to embrace the reality of this recreation and walk in the newness of life provided for us by God through his Son;Jesus Christ. THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST,HE IS A NEW CREATURE:OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY;BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW...2ND CORINTHIANS 5:17. A creature refers to something that has been created. God is the creator of all things existing on earth today. He created all things to inhabit different spaces and places on the earth and even in heaven. The earth,firmament,sky,sun,moon,waters etc were created for the comfort and sustenance of all his creatures. This shows how much God values all his creatures. Notable among God`s creatures are referred in the Bible as LIVING CREATURES. They are so-called because they have LIFE in them. They include the creatures of the air e.g birds;creatures of the sea e.g fishes and creatures that move on the land e.g the beasts of the field. God created all these creatures in various kinds,diversities and varieties which was a trademark of his excellence in creation e.g the beauty and flights of different kinds of birds high up into the sky,the swimming action of various aquatic creatures in the waters and the various locomotry actions exhibited by the terrestrial creatures ar

e all indicative of God`s excellence in creation. In summary,all of these creatures are GOOD to the extent that God testified to it. MAN is a unique creature superior to all the above-mentioned creatures as a result of his creation. God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils;the BREATH OF LIFE and man became a LIVING BEING. The breath of life being the symbol of the HOLYSPIRIT infused to man by God,gave man all the ATTRIBUTES of God required for him to have a successful stay on earth. Such attributes includes divine wisdom,divine health and other divine enablements. He was planted in a garden of abundance and he lacked nothing. God blessed him with fruitfulness,replenishment and dominion over all other creatures. This dominion that he had over all other creatures enabled him to give names to them with ease thereby operating in a wisdom that can be compared to that of God. In summary,man was a unique and peculiar creature respected and revered by all other creatures being clothed with beauty,dignity,honour and glory. This glorious creature made in the image and likeness of God allowed himself to be deceived by the devil whom he had authority over. Sin came into his life as a result of deception thereby sniffing out the LIFE OF GOD(the symbol of the HolySpirit) from him. The life of God that was lost was replaced with a life of sin e.g hatred,lies,fornication,mockery,murder etc. He lost his dominion over all living creatures to the devil and he became an emblem of weakness,poverty,struggles,failure and diverse opressions of the devil. God`s love for man that paved the way for his creation,provisions,blessings etc in the beginning was still available even when he lost God`s Spirit to be made subject to the flesh...Gods righteousness to sin and its consequences;...and God`s name(god) to be called a strange name(a slave/dog) that he inherited after his fall. In essence,it was God`slove for man that created an intention in him to re-create in him a new spirit and to give him a brand new name rooted in righteousness in order to remove the satanic heart;aheart of stone and the strange name that he inherited from sin. ****For zion`s sake will I not hold my peace,and for Jerusalem`s sake will I not rest,until the salvation thereof go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shall be called by a new name,which the mouth of the lord shall name. *****And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new Spirit within you;and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and I will give them a new heart. *****A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. God`s intention of restoring man to what he was in the beginning by creating in him a new spirit and giving him a brand new life came into pratical manifestation by the shedding of the BLOOD of his dear son;Jesus. Here is man under the bondage of sin and here is God wanting to wash away his sins so that He can create in him a new life. BLOOD was needed to wash away the SINS so that man can have the kind of life that he had in the beginning. In view of this,JESUS;the first born of every creature;who created all the living creatures into existence;being the creative word spoken into existence by JEHOVAH GOD volunteered to shed his blood for this unique creature called man. He came to the earth in the likeness of man;walking in all of his ways and he was subjected to all forms of temptations like the first man but sin was not found in him. His BLOOD was acceptable to wash away the sins of mankind because the BLOOD was PURE and free from all kind(s) of sin. He died on a TREE; that he also created so that the SUPERIOR of all his creatures;MAN can be restored to what he was in the beginning having been washed clean from his sins. If not for his blood that was shed, man would have remained the same OLD MAN wrecked,battered and beaten by sin. *****By his own blood,he entered in once unto the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of heifer sprinkling the unclean,sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:how much more shall the blood of Christ,who through eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,purge conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause,he is the mediator of the new testament,that by means of death,for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. *****Giving thanks unto the father,which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. In whom we have redemption through his blood,even the forgiveness of sins:who is the image of the invisible God,the first born of every creature.For by him were all things created that are in heaven,and that are in earth,visible and invisible,whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers:all things were created by him,and he is before all things and by him all things consist and he is the head of the body,the church:who is the beginning,the first born from the dead,that in him should all fullness dwell and having made peace through his blood of the cross,by him to reconcile all things unto himself:by him,whether they be things in earth or things in heaven. The kind of life that existed in the beginning has been recreated by the blood of Jesus.Being a new creature in Christ;man has been given his heritage/birthrights in God. Divine health to live a healthy and fufiling life in order to fufil God`s mandate here on earth,divine wisdom to operate in God`s mental class thereby having answers to all questions of life and solutions to all problems of life, Authority and dominion over all the works/creatures of God and the devil being gods on the face of the earth,Peace to live in a world of disturbances,problems and challenges;forgiveness of sins readily by the daily outpour of God`s mercy,restoration of a qualitative/sound walk/restoration with God and eternal life to be a part of christ millenial reign has been given back to man(us). With all of the investments of God for man at his creation and re-creation,it is important for us to accept the new life purchased for us by the LIFE and BLOOD of Jesus Christ.It is a huge investment and this should not be wasted at all.We can access what Jesus did for us by CONFESSING our SINS unto him and BELIEVING that he died for them and ROSE for our JUSTIFICATION.By so doing,we will not be CONDEMNED by SINS again. To live a fruitful and successful life on the face of the earth and to spend the rest of ones life in paradise after physical death,we have to accept the person of Jesus into our lives anf forsake our sins. *****Except a man be born again/re-created,he cannot see the kingdom of God.Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit,he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.For what is born of the flesh is flesh and which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. In as much as one is re-created back to God`s image via redemption,it is important to walk in the newness of life. It is a continual walk in the newness of life that will enable us to be rooted in Christ and to be a firm new man in deed. It is important to walklin the newness of life so as to conquer daily sins that will consistently challenge the new life that we enjoy. It is in walking in this newness life that will enable us to despise the pleasures of sins having been rooted in righteousness. We can walk in the newness of life provided to us by God by being planted and rooted in a place where we can GROW SPIRITUALLY.The word of God is needed for us to grow spiritually being the FOOD of the RECREATED HUMAN SPIRIT and it is expedient for us to be planted in a PLACE where the UNDILUTED TRUTH OF GOD`S WORDS is SERVED.The Church will teach the truth of God`s words revealing to the believer his/her inheritance in God`s words. She will also teach the believer to read and study the word of God on his/her own in order to grow spiritually. Consistent study and reading of God`s words and fellowship with other brethren in the faith will enable one to showcase the fruits of the recreated human spirit such as love,peace,righteousness,patience,long suffering etc. It is all of these spiritual practices that will make us to walk in the newness of life. *****As newborn babes,desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby. *****And that ye put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying,speaking every man truth with his neighbour:for we are members of one another. Furthermore,as some of us as received the new life,it is important to show this life to others that are unaware/ignorant of it. It is God`s purpose that humanity in its totality and entirety will partake of this life so that all of mankind can access its purpose. This OUTREACH is one of the avenues/channels that God is using to show the world the need to embrace this LIFE via knowledge contractible from articles like this and you can also do the same via this same means of ours or other(s).Your lifesyle,mannerism of doing things etc can also entice people to want to taste the kind of life that you enjoy. *****Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be condemned. *****For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the Sons of God.For the creature was made subject to vanity,not willingly,but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,because the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.For we know that the world groaaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. It is imperative to show others the need for them to partake the kind of life that we enjoy. In conclusion,we have been made a new creature by the SACRIFICE Christ offered for us.We can only show gratitude unto him by walking in the newness of life that he re-created for/in us and showing the way to others so that Gods purpose for humanity in this wise will be achieved. Shalom!

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

God has standards/guidelines to which He does things. He has standards laid down for man in order to effectively walk with him. God is bound by these standards/principles and He does not compromise any of them. He can only make things that we want from him happen for us only if we align ourselves to his standards. Modernization cannot in any way make God compromise his stands towards man. Modernization changes things but it does not change Gods stands/grounds. RIGHTEOUSNESS is one of God`s STANDARDS which makes and paves the way for effective relationship between DIVINITY and HUMANITY. This article sheds a COMPREHENSIVE LIGHT on the subject...RIGHTEOUSNESS. Be blessed as you read on. ...WHO CAN COUNT THE DUST OF JACOB AND THE NUMBER OF THE FOURTH PART OF ISRAEL? LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND LET MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS!...NUMBERS 23:10 RIGHTEOUSNESS is a godly attribute that everyone that calls his/herself a child of God/heir of salvation must come to cherish. It is an attribute that God wants for his children to walk in because in it lies great benefits of the kingdom. I have noticed that God will never command his people to do whatever He feels too BIG to do himself and also whatever is totally impossible to do. He exhibits righteousness in all that He does as a LAID DOWN EXAMPLE for us to follow. So,if righteousness is an impossible case,God will not command us to be a practitioner of it. God exhibited righteousness in the beginning of beginnings when He started the creation of all things. He saw the earth in a bad state and He also saw the need to put it RIGHT i.e to put it in a beautiful/colourful state. The creation of LIGHTS e.g the sun,the moon,the stars which eliminated DARKNESS is ONE of the numerous righteous ACTS whereby the earth was put in a right state which it ought to be. He also went ahead to create the WATERS,the SKY,the LAND and LIVING CREATURES e.g vegetation,

plants,trees,birds,livestock etc. He went further to create MAN in his image and likeness and that was the PEAK of his creation. With all of THESE,the earth was put in a BEAUTIFUL STATE having ELIMINATED the FORMLESSNESS and EMPTINESS by God`s righteous act. God created the first MAN to be an extension of his righteousness on the earth. He created him to rule on the face of the earth with righteousness as his BREASTPLATE which is simply OBEDIENCE TO ALL OF GOD`S WORDS/COMMANDMENTS to him as God also rules by righteousness in heaven by being BOUND/SUBJECT to his OWN WORDS. God cannot act contrary to his words and since He is ever obedient to his words,He is ever righteous. So,He made man to rule on the earth righteously based on obedience to his words/commandments/ instructions. As long as man kept to the instructions given to him by God,He ruled righteously on the face of the earth over all other creatures. He pratically walked in God`s righteousness and reaped the fruits that emanated from it. When man was lured into disobedience to God`s words by the devil and he gave in to it,he lost the righteousness of God. He lost it to inherit the wicked nature of the devil which brought about lies,hatred,murder,envy etc. A man cannot be neutral,He is either walking in God`s righteousness or barking in the wickedness of the devil. Since he lost one of God`s very nature,he was disconnected from God`s presence. In summary,the first man became an emblem of wickedness having sold the righteousness of God to sin. Since the fall of the first man,generations after continued living unrighteously in disobedience to God`s words/commandments. God always had the intention of wiping out the unrighteous generation in order to create something new but amidst them.He saw few righteous men in all generation who were determined to obey God`s words and stand out from their unrighteous generation. People like Noah,Abraham,Isaac,Israel,Daniel,Shedrac,Menshac,Abednego,Moses just to mention a few were people that stood righteously for God and God dealt with them in return with his righteous acts but their righteousness was not like the one the first man lost in the beginning,it was basically the righteousness which is of the law. God`s original intention which was for the entirety of mankind to exhibit the kind of righteousness that was lost in the beginning never changed. Although,the first plan to implement the intention failed,He went ahead to implement another plan so that his original intention as stated above can come into fufilment. The other plan paved the way for the coming of Jesus to the earth. He is referred to as the second Adam. Just as the first Adam initially exhibited the righteousness of God,the second Adam also showcased the same. The second Adam was also tempted by the same tempter who tempted the first adam with the same kind of temptation but the second Adam was fully conscious of God`s commandments/sayings and he was always willing to obey them and he waxed great in God`s righteousness. His death and ressurrection has paved the way for as many people as possible to embrace the righteousness of God. The righteousness provided by Jesus unto us is SUPERIOR to the righteousness of the LAW. *****But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,that according as it is written,He that glorieth.let him glorieth in the lord. *****And be found in him,not having mine own righteousness,which is of the law,but that which is through the faith of Christ,the righteousness which is of God by faith. *****Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,that we, being dead to sins,should live unto righteousness,by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray,but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Jesus is the way to righteousness having sacrificed his life to get it for us. In as much as He has made it available for us,we have to receive him into our lives. We cannot have access to what He carries without accepting his personality. After accepting his personality by believing in what He did for us in fufilling God`s redemption plan for us,we can then have access to righteousness. *****That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead,thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness,and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Furthermore,after accepting him personally into our lives which makes us have access to righteousness,we have to walk in it. It is walking in it that makes us to access the benefits of doing so. Having access to righteousness is like standing in front of a CLOSED DOOR while walking in righteousness is the KEY that UNLOCKS and OPEN the CLOSED DOOR. Many people have access to it via new birth/re creation but they are not walking in it probably due to ignorance. We can walk in righteousness by consciously walking in the footsteps of the one who provided it for us. The question you may want to ask now is that what are the footsteps of Jesus? Obedience to God`s words of course! He was ever conscious of God`s words everytime and everywhere and He was willing to obey them in all situations. He does not do anything that is contrary to God`s words. Satan tried everything to make him disobey God`s words but He replied all his lies with the truth of God`s words having been intoxicated with them to do/obey them. He obeyed God`s words to the letter and this makes him an emblem/epitome of righteousness for every nation,tribe and tongue to follow. So, the only way to walk in righteousness is to follow his footsteps by obeying the commandments of Go as stated in his words. *****For even here unto were ye called,because Christ also suffered for us,leaving us an example,that ye should follow his steps,who did no sin,neither was guile found in his mouth,who when He was reviled,reviled not but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. Even the men of old that lived based on the righteousness of the law(and not by faith) were men addicted to obeying God`s words/voice. Men like... (1).Noah who obeyed God`s word to build an ark of protection for himself and his family. (2).Abraham who obeyed God to leave his father`s house to a foreign land where he had never been to. He also obeyed God`s promise of having a child even when it seemed that the promise was unsure to come. God promised him a child at the age of 75 years and he got it at the age of 100 years. All through the 25 years of waiting,he never doubted the ability of God to make do his promise. He simply obeyed and believed God`s word. Also,when when God told him to sacrifice this same one and only child,he obeyed God without questioning him /asking for reason. No wonder the bible recorded that...Abraham believed in the LORD, and God counted it unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. (3).Isaac obeyed God to stay in the land of Gerar which was plauged with famine. (4).Moses who obeyed God to confront Pharaoh and demand for thr release of the Israelites after 430 years of labour. (5).Daniel who obeyed God not to defile himself with the king`s portion of food which was offered to idols. He also obeyed God by praying/seeking his face in a foreign land even when a decree was made not to do so. (6).Shedrach,Menshac and Abednego who obeyed God not to bow down nor worship other gods beside him cos He is a jealous God. They refused to bow down to the god of Nebuchadnezzar and it counted unto them for righteousness., If all these men made up their mind to obey God`s words uno righteousness which is of the law,there is nothing stopping us from following Christ`s steps to walk in righteousness which through faith is SUPERIOR to that of the law. Having accepted Jesus,the whole saler and distributor of righteousness and walking in its reality/fullness by following his foot steps,then God`s standard of righteousness is met. Anytime a man live up to God`s standards pertaining to anything,He in turn raises the standard of such man high. If a man fufil God`s stand on righteousness,God reciprocates this by showing his own ACTS of righteousness to such a man. When a man is satisfied with the ACTS of God`s righteousness,the standard of such a man is RAISED. Let us look at God`s acts of righteousness to man. (1).PROTECTION/DELIVERANCE ****************************** For the righteous,God delivers him from troubles,destructions and traps targetted at him from the pit of hell. God delivered Noah from the destruction that came to the earth in his time because of his righteousness. Nebuchadnezzar thought that he could cut short the years of existence of Shedrac,Menshac and Abednego on earth but God delivered them out from the fiery furnance but left the men that threw them to die in their unrighteousness. The enemies of Daniel thought that they will see his end in the lion`s den but God delivered him and they died in his stead even in their unrighteousness. Even Jesus could not be killed by anyone before his time because God was always with him. *****Riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousness delivereth from death. The righteousness of the righteous shall deliver them but the transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. The righteous is delivered out of trouble and the wicked cometh in his stead. (2). DISTINCTION/LIFTING/ELEVATION ********************************* Righteousness has a way of distincting/lifting/elevating the righteous out of the assembly of the wicked/unrighteous ones. Righteousness elevated Abraham from his kinsmen and by the time he escaped from their midst,his kinsmen were no where to be found. Righteousness also lifted Isaac in a foreign land(Gerar) to the extent that a whole nation became envious of a stranger who was prospering in their midst. Righteousness also distincted Shedrac,Menshac,Abednego and Daniel who despised/rejected the kings portion of food offered unto idols and went for vegetables. At the end,they looked fairer and better than those that fed from the contaminated idol`s food. Shedrac,Menshac and Abednego via righteousness also stood out from the crowd by not bowing down to the god of nebuchadnezzar and they were promoted openly. Daniel also stood out from the wicked crowd who wanted to stop him from seeking the TRUE GOD of gods in prayer and he was promoted while they were demoted. *****Thou lovest righteousness and hateth wickedness,therefore,thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. *****Righteousness exalths a nation but sin is a reproach. (3). ANSWERS TO PRAYERS. *********************** Righteousness is one of the image and likeness of God in man and so,He cherishes the image/likeness a lot. He loves to hear the prayers emanating/coming from the bowels of the righteous and answers them. Hezekiah was a king in his time that stood out distinctly from other kings on the platform of righteousness. There was a day that a prophet called Isaiah brought the news of his death to him. Hezehiah turned back unto God in prayer making his petition known unto him on the platform/basis of his righteous ways before God and God answered his prayers. He was healed of his sickness and he enjoyed fifteen extra years on earth. Jesus also enjoyed express answers to his prayers because of his righteous ways. ******The lord is far from the wicked,but hears the prayer of the righteous. *****The eyes of the lord are over the righteous and his ears are open to their cries,but the face of the lord is against them that do evil. (4). BLESSINGS. **************** There is nothing that God has in his possession that He cannot give out to the righteous because of his love for them. He is pleased with them readily and it is easy for him to shower his blessings on them. Abraham,Isaac,Israel all enjoyed God`s blessings in a foreign land. Jesus also walked in this path of blessings being blessed with/in all things. *****In his days shall the righteous fluorish and abundance of peace shall be his portion as the moon endureth. *****The righteous shall fluorish like the palm tree.he shall grow like a cedar in lebanon. (5).MERCY. ************* Mercy is a divine arrangement put in place to swallow up judgement which results from errors/mistakes/sins committed by anyone. The righteous among all categories of people have access to mercy because of God`s love and pity for them. In case they mistakenly fall into one error,sin or the likes,God`s mercy is always available to forgive them. David is a man that enjoyed the daily outpour of God`s mercy such that he was pardoned for all the errors he made as a righteous man. *****A righteous man falleth seven times and still rises up again. *****Sow to yourself in righteousness and reap in mercy. (6). ETERNAL REWARDS. ***************** Righteousness guarantees eternal reward(s) even after the physical death of the righteous as they never die spiritually. They do not know eternal condemnation as they are received by God in Heaven. Even on earth after they have passed on,their names cannot be forgotten. Abraham,Isaac,Israel,Noah,David,Enoch just to mention a few have their names still mentioned till date because of the righteous way they lived. Jesus is still celebrated today after what He did 2007 years ago in heaven and on the earth because of his righteous way of life. *****Henceforth,there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the LORD,the righteous judge shall give me at that day,even not to me only,but unto all them that love his appearing. *****Blessed are ye that are persecutad for righteousness sake,for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Having highlighted the righteous acts of God which is directly proportional to the righteous ways of man,it is important for every man including you and me to STRIVE to LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY. The greatest enemy of righteousness is SIN and SIN is basically disobedience to God`s words/commandments. The first adam lost God`s righteousness to sin while the second Adam who won God`s righteousness for us conquered sin tooth and nail. Sin has nothing LONG LASTING to offer except temporary pleasures but the end of those temporary pleasures is SHAME on EARTH and ETERNAL CONDEMNATON in heaven. I will rather choose to foresake the temporary pleasures of sin for the permanent pleasures of righteousness. It is important to daily fight sin(especially disobedience to God`s words) with all our might so as to win the eternal fruits of righteousness. In conclusion,it may be difficult for the flesh to obey the commandments of God but I believe that God will not ask us to do anything beyond our capacity. It is necessary to continually ask God for GRACE to be able to obey all his commandments with ease which makes walking in righteousness cheap. It is my prayer that as you EARNESTLY SEEK God`s face today in FERVENT PRAYERS,He will pour his GRACE on you which will make it easy to FOLLOW THE FOOT STEPS OF CHRIST unto RIGHTEOUSNESS. Shalom!

REALITIES ABOUT GOD.

God is a supreme being that everyone across the globe talks about on a daily basis.That you talk about something does not mean that you have a sound knowledge about that thing.That people talk about God daily does not mean that they know him well.It is the heart cry of God that his creatures especially mankind whom He created in his image and fashioned in his likeness will have a sound knowledge about him so that they can maximize the benefits of being called his sons/daughters.This message is elaborate enough to give you a sound knowledge about your God and my God.It is my prayer that by the time you read through this write up,your eyes of understanding will be opened to the knowledge of God. THEY THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG AND THEY SHALL DO EXPLOITS. REALITY refers to the state of things as they appear to be or as they are,rather than as one might wish them to be.Our wishes cannot change the reality of some things.Reality also refers to the totality of facts concerning something.It sums up the entirety of the truths that wraps up something.It also refers to the actuality,authenticity,certainty,genuineness and validity of things.Whether we like it or not,somethings are real as they are bound to be.We have no choice than to embrace the reality of things.For example.I belong to the male gender,whether I like it or not,I have to embrace that reality.No amount of wishes can turn me to a female.Our acceptance of the reality of God is what will make us strong and consequently make exploits to be part of us.God is real.Although some people don`t believe this but that does not remove the actuality of the fact that He really exists.In fact,it is our acceptance of the reality of his existence that will sustain us here on earth. CREATION is one of the realities about God that we must embrace.God is a creator and He has created all things for his pleasure.The universe is created by him.You are created and fashioned by him in his glorious likeness. *****Everyone is called by my name saith the LORD:For I have created him by my glory,I have formed him:yea I have made him. *

****I have called thee by thy name and I have surname thee. *****You are borne by me from the belly which are carried from the womb and even to your old age,I am He and even to your hoar hairs will I carry you:I have made thee and I will carry and deliver thee. We are his burden and if we can surrender our lives to him,He will surely carry us even till our old age.As God is creative,He has also deposited his creative virtues in us since we are made in his image.This accounts for diverse kinds of creative potentials in people.Our willingness to embrace the creative virtues of God will make us discover ours too.It is the discovery of ours and the ability to trade with them that will make us a celebrity on the face of the earth. RULERSHIP is another fact about God that we must accept.He rules in Heaven and on the earth cos He is in charge.Everything that was created by him is under his rulership.He rules in the affairs of men i.e He rules in my affairs and yours too since He made us.As one created in his image,He has also designated us to be rulers on earth while He rules in Heaven.Our ability to grasp the reality of God`s ruling nature will equip us to be effective rulers here on earth as He has commanded us to be.You have been designed to rule in your school,church,place of work,family etc. *****I saw the LORD sitting on his throne and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. LOVE is another actuality about God that we must hold on to.God is love and everything He is,everything He does is built on the platform of love.The creation of mankind in the beginning is all about love.The redemption of mankind from the cavity of sin and Hell is all about love.The divine idea of rapture and Christ millennial reign has a lot to do with God`s love.His willingness to give us all that we ask of him is based on nothing but his love towards us.His readiness to guide us and protect us,His eagerness to save us,His promptness in helping us,His swiftness to providing for our needs and his aptness in turning our sorrows to joy is indicative of his love towards us.Our willingness to accept and receive God`s love will help us in loving our neighbours and even our enemies. PROVISION is another certainty about God that we have to cherish.God has provisions for every work of his hands.He is JEHOVAH JIREH,the provider of all needs.There is nothing that we need that our heavenly father doesn`t have in possesion since He brought us here.He provides for the birds of the air,the beast of the field,the fishes in the waters and for every of his handy works.If he can take thought of tthe birds,the fishes,the beasts to provide for them,how much more you that is called by his name.He is called the ALL SUFFICIENT GOD i.e He has all things to give us since they are sufficient with him.Before he created man in the beginning,He had made provisions for all that He will ever need.When the children of Israel were on their way to the land of promise,God made daily provisions for them such that they lacked nothing.He is also called EL-SHADDI i.e the BIG BREASTED GOD and He is the only one that can meet all our needs without complaining.For if he can spare his one and only begotten son for our deliverance,how shall he not freely give us all things.If man being evil knoweth how to give good gifts to their children,how much more shall he who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think.not give us good things.He is our shepherd and we are his sheep.Every responsible shepherd knows that he has to provide for his sheep.So is our God. PROVIDENCE is another validity of God that we have to acknowledge.His providence talks about his forseeing protection and care for his creatures.It also talks about his guidiance towards all his handy works.If not for God`s protection over us,we would have been consumed by the snares of the fowlers of life.He is our shield,our refuge,our hiding place,our buckler,our high tower,our rock,our fortress.our deliverer etc.Because of his shield about us,our glory is preserved and not short circuited by our enemies.We are also kept underneath his everlasting arms and thus shielded from destruction.Times without number has He redeem us from untimely death because of his protection over us.Our ability to see God`s providence will go a long way in removing all manner of fears from us. GOD`S ABILITY TO FIGHT is another authentic nature of God that we must applaud.God is referred to as a warrior and one strong in battle.God`s MIGHT that is matchless enables him to fight battles easily and he has never lost a single battle from ages past.When God fought for Israel,Pharaoh had no choice than to let them go by force.He is an enemy to our enemies and an adversary to our adversaries as he fights for us.The LORD OF HOSTS is his name,strong and mighty in battle fighting for his beloved ones.Different gates of life`s circumstances naturally open on their own accord when they come face to face with God.We don`t have to fight our battles ourselves else we die before our time.Since the lord of hosts is for us,He delights in fighting for us as he does it effortlessly. MERCY is another valid attribute of God.God is merciful.It is by his daily outpouring of mercy that we are not consumed.If God is to look at the multitude of our sins and mistakes, no one will be able to stand but his mercies endures forever for all.It is by his mercies that we are saved and to be called his sons/daughters.It is by his mercies that we are preserved from judgement due to our errors. *****And God said,I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt and have heard their cry by the reason of their task masters,For I know their sorrows. *****For the lord hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;neither hath he hid his face from him,but when he cried unto him.he heard. The blood of Jesus that washed us clean is always pleading mercy for us so that we will not be judged by according to the multitude of our inadequacies.We don`t have to live in the guilt of our mistakes forever as we can match bodly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy. HEALING is yet another certain trait of God that we must sanction.His hands are always willing to be stretched to heal us from any abnormalities caused by sickness cos this was not his original plan.In the beginning,God did not create a man with physical,mental and emotional disturbances.Adam was sound physically as it was not written that he was blind,deaf,dumb,paralysed etc.He was mentally sound as he could name all the animals in the garden and the name he called each of them sticked to them.He was sound emotionally and even spiritually as He communicated to God on a daily basis.God is interested in healing us and granting us the kind of health that was in existence in the beginning.He is JEHOVAH RAPHA;the one that heals.It is wise to be conscious of his healing prowess so that we wont be OPPRESSED and DEPRESSED by sickness again. FAITHFULNESS is another facet of God.God is faithful to the extent that his faithfulness reaches the sky.Even when we are unfaithful,God is ever faithful to his words of promises,prophecies,covenants and vows.When He spoke to Noah,he made all do all his words to him.When he spoke to Abraham,Isaac,Jacob,Joseph,Moses,Joshua etc He made his promises true unto them because He is ever faithful. *****The lord thy God,He is God,the faithful God who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandment even to a thousand generation. HOLINESS is another trademark of God.He is holy,sacred and pure.He abhors all forms of iniquities,unrighteousness and sin.Heaven;the residence of God is a place of purity.His throne is referred to as the holy of holies and even his angels carry emblems of purity.The man that was formed by God in the beginning was pure and free from all forms of blemishes before sin came in somehow.God had to use a blood that is free from all forms of blemishes to wash us clean so that we can approach him as one without sin.Without holiness, no man can smell his presence not to talk of seeing him at work in his life. *****He is the rock,his work is perfect:For all his ways are judgements,a God of truth and without iniquity,just and right is He. *****He is not a man that should lie,neither the son of man that he should repent:hath he said,and shall he not do it?or hath He spoken and shall he not make it good. *****There is none holy as the lord:for there is none besides him:neither is there any rock like our God. Since it is a fact that we cannot approach God with iniquities clinging to us,we should therefore try to embrace a life that is free from sin as we flee from all forms of evil appearances. LIGHT is also a peculiarity that is notable with God.Whenever He appears on any scene of life,darkness has no choice than to give way to God`s light.Darkness represents emptiness,barrenness,voidness,formlessness,affliction,oppression,etc but when God`s light is seen,all the afore mentioned manifestation of darkness have to give way to God`s light.That is the reason why in the beginning, when God saw the earth in a shameful and regretful state caused by darkness,He had to speak forth light into existence and darkness was swallowed up immediately in God`s light.When God created light,He was able to create other things with ease having eliminated darkness. *****For thou art my lamp,o lord:and the lord will lighten my darkness. *****By his sneezing,light doth cometh,and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.Out of his mouth goeth burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out.Every shameful thing that we want out of our lives represents darkness and they have no choice than to surrender to God`s light only when we take cognizance of it. OMNIPOTENCE is another feature of God.Omnipotence talks about God`s unlimited power which created and has sustained the whole universe from the days its foundation was laid by God.Omnipotence also talks about God`s invincibility i.e his power is to the extent that he cannot be conquered nor defeated.He can never be overthrown.His omnipotence also talks about his mastery i.e the power of his command or control because He is the commander in Chief and Chief Controller of the whole universe.The sun rises everyday and never forgets to set in the evening because of God`s power.The moon comes out by night and never forgets to disappear as the morning appears because of God`s power. *****Once has God spoken,twice have I had that all power belongs to God. *****He is able to do exceedingly,abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to his power that worketh in us. *****With men some things seems impossible but with God,all things are possible. *****He killeth and maketh alive:He bringeth down to the grave and bringeth up. *****Behold He taketh away,who can hinder him?who shall say what doest thou? *****I know that thou can do all things and nothing can be withhold from you. OMNIPRESENCE is another exceptional distinctiveness of God.Omnipresence talks about God being in all places at all times.God is everywhere.As He is here with me,He is also there with you.He is in heaven,he is on the earth,he is beneath the earth and his eyes are in all places at all times.Jonah tried to run away from the presence of God but God still caught up with him even in the waters.In the belly of the fish,God was still there.Let us be conscious of God`s ever abiding presence so that we can maximize it day and night. *****I am with you even to the end of the world. *****Thou shall not be affrightened for the lord thy God is among you,a mighty God terrible. *****For the lord your God,He is in heaven above and the earth beneath. OMNISCIENCE is the last attribute of God that I will like to intimate you about.It talks about his infinite knowledge and understanding.It also talks about his great and seemingly unlimited knowledge.Today,we have billions of people on earth with different tongues,cultures and languages,yet God has knowledge of all of us.Also,he is the only wise God.The fountain can never run dry.As a result of this,true wisdom comes from him.It is through this attribute that He knows the number of stars in the sky,he knows the number of hairs on your head,he knows the thoughts that goes in the mind of all men,he can screen the intents and the contents of the hearts of all and he can weigh all actions of all men and he numbers the cloud. *****Seeing that times are not hidden from the Almighty,do they that know him not see his days? To him that wants wisdom,He is the only wise God.To him that wants knowledge,He is the fountain of knowledge.To him that wants understanding,He is the one that understands times and seasons. THESE ARE THE BITS OF THE REALITIES ABOUT GOD THAT I AM PERMITTED TO KNOW FOR NOW AS NOONE CAN TOTALLY EXHAUST THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM.IT IS MY PRAYER THAT WE WILL WALK IN THESE REALITIES SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF BEING CALLED SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD.SHALOM!

EDUCATION IS WEALTH.

The common curse of mankind is folly and ignorance said William Shakespeare. The world today is plagued by commotion and strife, but only few men stop to think that these evils stem from ignorance. The value of education is immeasurable. A great philosopher once described education as a companion which no misfortune can destroy, no enemy can alienate and no despotism can enslave. Education does not stop with mere acquisition of paper qualification. It is meant to provide through knowledge and to enable man achieve the far reaching purpose of discovering self. Many people die with part of themselves undiscovered but true education will eradicate this ill. Dearly beloved, if you accord education its rightful value, then no pain must be spared to acquire it.

SUCCESS OUT OF FAILURE.

One very important lesson in life is to get success out of failure. Admittedly, this is not easy. The natural, easy and quick thing to do when one is defeated is to quail in one`s spirit and give up. It takes courage and an iron~will to seek in the ruins of failure, the element of future conquest. To know how to win victory from defeat and making stepping stones of our stumbling blocks is the secret of our success said marden. Most great men known in history came into eminence because of the stern refusal to accept failure as a finality. Rather, they took any temporary defeat as a reason to push into the arena of victory. Dearly beloved, it is important to learn from people who through testy moments became successful. If you encounter any obstacle on your way, find a means of overcoming it. A constant struggle, an endless battle to attain success from difficult circumstances is the price of any worthy achievement.

COVER THAT NAKED MAN.

Text: Genesis 9:20-23. This text is about Noah and his children. Noah being a man that God had blessed in all ramification found himself in a state of mess i.e he was drunk to the extent that he removed all his clothes. One of his sons (Ham) saw his nakedness and he went to broadcast the event to his other brothers instead of him to cover his fathers nakedness. I have discovered that many people are like Ham as they are always interested in broadcasting people that are falling,people that have failed and people that are in need of help.Instead of helping such people to find ways of solving their problems,they escalate it and make it worse. Noah's case was very critical and pitiable because he was not aware that he had a problem not to talk of being helped but one thing that I was able to discover was that Ham(Noah's son) recognized that Noah was in a bad state. He was only interested in forecasting/relaying the news.The implication of what he did resulted to the cursing of Canaan his son by N

oah.I have a message for you this day that you not helping your brother/sister in a state of mess has a very serious implication. Jesus told a parable of a good Samaritan that helped a man that was robbed(Luke 15:25). Before,he came to help,there were several people that saw the man in a bad state but couldn't help.Even a priest saw him and by-passed him.This really show the extent to which people are guilty of not covering their fellow brother's/sister's nakedness. Paul was ever advocating the idea of supporting the weak and comforting the feeble minded.(1st Thessalonians 4:13-14). He knew that there will be some people that are fragile and all that they will ever need are people that will strengthen them and not people that will go about exposing/condemning them. A question to be asked is "How do we help those who are in a state of shame?" The answer to the question was given by Japeth and Shem;the other two sons of Noah who covered the nakedness of their father.The attitude displayed by these two guys implied that their father's nakedness/shame was covered/removed. It also implied that they helped him to overcome his problem which secured them blessing in return.This reveals to us that we can be blessed when we endeavor to cover someone's nakedness. Sometimes,it might not be easy but that is what is expected of us to do in these last days. Let us consider a girl's case who had some problems seeking admission into a higher institution of learning. She was squatting with some people in a hostel close to her school. Many of the people in that hostel realized that she was not getting things right. Instead of them to correct her,they started making jest of her and these people in question claimed to be worshipers of God in Spirit and in truth. All they kept doing was to condemn and mock the girl. After some time,the girl started breaking away from them. She got help from the people of the world and she has turned into something else now. Many of those making jest of her kept complaining that she went astray not knowing that they were the ones that led her astray by not covering her nakedness. All they did was to expose her like Ham did. At this point,it is imperative to stress that God is our help and in turn,it is necessary to help somebody. You cannot win a soul for Christ without you covering the nakedness of someone and I know that by you doing that,you will be blessed like Shem and Japeth. Another case study was Jesus in John 18 covering the nakedness of the woman who committed adultery. All the other people who caught her in the act wanted to stone her but Jesus defended her and covered her nakedness by telling them to cast the first stone if none of them were guilty of the same. They all left because their conscience really pricked them. And Jesus covered the woman's nakedness by telling her to go and sin no more. Jesus had to do this because his mission was to cover the nakedness that we inherited from Adam and Eve when they fell in the beginning. But by his death and resurrection ,our nakedness has been covered. Nevertheless,we have the responsibility of receiving the divine covering because once you are naked,it is a pathway to destruction. Beloved,it is high time we all accept Jesus as our covering and help others by acting as a cover for them.

THE MID~NIGHT SONG.

But at midnight,Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God,and the prisoners were listening unto them"...Acts 16:25.

Times do come,circumstances do appear and situations arise when in our lives,many things seem questionable;one of which is the presence of God in our lives. Times when things seem not to work in our favour,disappointments approach us at every opportunity and failure stands like a close friend;times when the sky seems grey and night seems so long and down within us as we earnestly desire for the appearance of the day even if it would just be for a moment. Times when though we have many people around us but there appears to be a sense of loneliness within. The Biblical promises of providence and protection suddenly seem like a story that wasn't meant to be real and ones spirituality suddenly becomes shallow. Such times are periods that one can describe as the midnight of one's life(i.e the darkest time before day break) when things just don't work the way we desire it to be despite prayers and fastings. To make matters ugly,you cannot really figure out why,since your conscience seems right or pure before God. Many in the scriptures experienced this. David faced such a situation but the scripture recorded that he had to encourage himself while still holding on to God inspite of the ugly situation as he held to God proclaiming his allegiance irrespective of what he was going true. The apostles went through the same but they chose to hold on for they knew the king of kings would step in and help. Many were forced to even hold on even if God won't step in. The good news available is that God does come in when we least expect him.(Daniel 3:25) Times without number in those difficult moments;He is always around but the thoughts of the problems on board make it difficult to see him but if we care to,we can make his presence strong by showing him that regardless of the situation,we will still put our hope in him,praying and singing for the strength to carry on. We can choose to sing,praise or talk of his goodness in the unpalatable situation that we find ourselves in just like lifting his banner in a strange land,then He will see that "our love is genuine" and is constant at all times when things are favourable and when they are not. That is when He suddenly shows us that He loves us more by stepping big into our difficult moments.(phil 4:6). During hard times,let us learn not to grumble(though it is not easy to do so),complain or argue or abandon(give up) or feel bad or speak against God but let us learn to sing,talk ,praise and thank him for what He promised in his words concerning us with respect to our situations and believing in him that He is right with us;ready to put things into shape in his own way and at his own time.(Ecclei 3:11) Though certain circumstances/situations seem irreversible(i.e death of a loved one,operations that claim certain body parts or certain deformations that arise due to certain accidents) but when we avoid complaining and learn to put our trust in him thanking him in/for all things,He does what seem impossible;standing in for every vacuum in our lives and letting us see that He is all that we need. "LET US SING THE MID~NIGHT SONG.
