A stressed man was in his office thinking deeply. Suddenly one man ran inside  shouting "Paul, Paul, Paul your daughter Swanta just had an accident and died". Shocked and confused, he jumped out of his office through the window. As soon as he does, he remembered his office is on the 7th floor, as he descends lower, he remembered he doesn't have a daughter called Swanta, still descending, he remembered he's not even married, just 2 floors before

I want to encourage you to live near the Cross. This may seem strange, for a terrible death took place at the Cross and nearly everyone abandoned Jesus. But, the nearer we are to the Cross, the closer we are to a place of victory (1 Corinthians 15: 54). At the Cross: - Jesus was *punished* that we might be *forgiven* (Isaiah 53: 4–5). - Jesus was *wounded* that we might be *healed* (Isaiah 53: 4–5). - Jesus suffered *death* that we might be given

Our main text will be 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Reconciliation happens when two parties are not in good terms. Sin broke our relationship with God and separated us from Him. God in his love and mercy does not want anyone to perish in sin, for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

What God’s voice does, God does. God’s speaking and acting are equated! God’s words have a power enormously beyond our own. We humans may say, “Let there be light in this house,” but then we have to press a switch or light a candle. Our words need actions behind them, otherwise, they can’t achieve their purpose. God’s words, however, cannot fail their purposes because, for God, speaking and acting are the same thing. The God of the

v11- “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” A social dimension to this prayer: For all to get daily bread there must be a thriving economy, good employment, and a just society. Therefore, to pray “give us—all the people of our land—daily bread” is to pray against “wanton exploitation” in business, trade, and labour, which “crushes the poor and deprives them of their daily bread.” The power of this petition to those who do injustices

African Proverb: No matter how long a log stays in water, it will never become a crocodile. Meaning: If you're black, no matter how long you bleach your skin, you will never become white. If you are white, no matter how long you tan your skin, you will never become black. Whatever you are, whether black, white or something else, that is what you will remain forever. We must have the guts and gratitude to accept what we cannot change. In the words
