THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP'S SPIRIT - PART 2

 THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP'S SPIRIT - PART 2

Earlier this week we started a series on understanding the Spirit of Leadership and the Leadership Spirit. We must understand that every human has the Leadership Spirit in him while the Spirit of Leadership is brought to manifest when we come into the consciousness of us being leaders. We made an analogy of a seed and the tree it bears. To be a tree is inherent in the seed but until it comes out as a tree, does it manifest what has been in it prior. This is the way the Leadership's Spirit which is already dwelling in man and the Spirit of Leadership are.

We must understand that for every living thing created to manifest, certain things must be in place. We saw the planting (the placement); the environment and the fruiting as very important concepts in maximizing the potentials of the seed. In Genesis 1, when God created the living things; he placed each of them in appropriate environment that they could thrive, develop and be what he has ordained that they will be. The birds of the air in the heavens; the fowls on the earth; the birds of the sea in the water and man in the garden of Eden. Each of these places paramount to the survival of each creature. This is to let us know that there is a laid down provision for everything that must manifest. God created a man and knew that His presence in the life of that man was essential for the survival of that man, so he placed him in the garden of Eden which in actual sense is the presence of God. You may wonder why till date Eden has not been found. This is because apart from the fact that it was shut to any man following the sin of Adam and Eve, it is the presence of God and not just a place. Man lost this presence, lost an essential part of building up the Spirit of leadership in him. Why? Because he had lost the environment. Hence Christ had to come, so we could gain back this environment and live the life of Leadership that God has called us to from Genesis 1:28. The Bible makes us to know that we are meant to dominate, subdue, be fruitful- all these are attributes of Leadership. We see when God made man, man was able to give names to the creatures in the garden. Yes, because God had put his breath in man. One other thing the breath did apart from give life to the man was to put the nature of God in man. God is a leader and this nature which is the Leadership spirit was put in man; hence Adam knew what was expedient to be done as concerning those animals and he went for it but we saw that man could not sustain this leadership after he fell from what was the most vital to keeping him in that position - The presence of God. 

But when Christ came, this presence was made manifest through Him and into us and then the Spirit of Leadership given to whomever will wish to walk in that path. Eden no longer is a place but it is the portion of every child of God and if it's in us then the Spirit of Leadership will manifest. Whether it's a conscious effort or non conscious, we just see ourselves manifesting the leadership roles with ease. One, because we have the Leadership's Spirit and secondly at salvation, we have been given back the most vital instrument to sustainance. We are placed in the right soil, fed with the right foods - the word of God. It is no doubt that the good fruits will show. 

When man isn't working in the light of the above; he is heading to chaos as we have it in our world today. We have lost essence of true leadership. False use of power and to control people in the name of leadership. What we have today is slavery and not Leadership. This is what happens when the right course is not taken. An orange seed needs a sandy soil to grow amidst other necessary things but if it is placed in a stony ground or amidst thorns; it can never sow good. When a man is planted in the presence of God, the Spirit of leadership begins to unveil. Our being in God brings the manifestation of our true identity.

Without the discovery of self in God, the spirit of leadership will not manifest. The discovery of self is what gives more clarity to the following questions:

Who am i?

Where am I from?

Why am I here?

What can I do?

Where am I going?

If you can answer these questions genuinely, the spirit of leadership in you has begun to unveil.

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP'S SPIRIT - PART 1

 THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP SPIRIT - PART 1

I will like to start this week's article with the analogy of a seed. When you look at a seed, what do you see? If one can look well, one will be able to see a tree in that seed. You will wonder how possible this is. It's jus figuratively. Every seed has a potential tree in it. In any orange seed, there is an orange tree ready to germinate. A seed does not just grow when you see the tree it produces, but as a seed itself, it will become a tree if right environment is in place. This process of becoming is what exposes the real identity of the seed. 

The concept above is much related to our topic this week. Inherent in every man is the spirit of leadership but we must become leaders for this real identity to be exposed. This means if you have not discovered your real identity, you are not becoming a leader; also if you are not a leader, you cannot discover your real identity. It is paripassu.This identity is what is termed the spirit of Leadership. 

Therefore, there is a difference between the spirit of Leadership and a Leadership spirit. The leadership spirit was planted into man from the beginning. It is dwelling in every man, that was why God gave us the instruction to dominate. To dominate means to rule the earth, not over any human being but over the resources of the Earth. The act of becoming a leader is what is now termed the spirit of Leadership . In this series, we will be dealing with what makes a man a leader.To get this, we must understand that God created every living things differently but the manner of growth is the same if we look closely. Let's take for an instance; every living thing needs food to grow; without us eating, certain nutrients necessary for our development are not gotten hence, malnourishment. The same goes for the seed of leadership. It has to be nourished to make a tree of it. To know how a seed become a tree wil give us a clue on how an ordinary man (NB: with the potentials already put in by God) can become a leader.

How does a seed become a Tree?

1. Planting

2. Environmental condition

3. Fruiting

✓The planting or placement is the soil;  i.e. where every seed is planted. As a man, where are you planted? 

✓The Environmental condition has to do with every other thing that makes living possible or the soil habitable. Factors like the sunlight, rain etc. As a man, what really affects your area of location which is our Environmental condition?

✓The fruit is the beginning of a new life of every tree. The proof of a tree is the fruit it produces. It is the launching phase of the tree to its world.  As a man have you discovered the beginning of your life?

 

The above questions are what I will like us to answer in our comment section box so we can move to the next session.

Thank you

FAITH: THE EYE OF DESTINY PART 1

 FAITH: THE EYE OF DESTINY PART 1

Please listen to my story.

     For a while now, I  have been studying a certain family in my church. What attracted me to this family was this; I had noticed that whatever pertains to music runs in the family; from playing musical instruments to singing - the father, the mother and the children all love music. 

When I found this out, I began to follow them as a lover of gifts that I am,  to the extent that I became close with this family; they also extended hands of friendship towards me. 

I also noticed that their second child though a very talented young girl, was battling with Anthropophobia i.e. fear of people. She is so timid and shy; and this gave me a serious concern. I decided to call her and ask her some questions.  One of the questions I asked her was when she wanted to give birth. At first, she was shocked thinking I was asking her when she wanted to have a baby. It was not until I explained that she understood.  I was only asking her when she would give birth to her potentials. After explaining further to her, then she confidently said she will try and perform next Sunday. 

The story above is similar to my experiences every time as a Sunday school teacher in my church. One thing I have come to conclude is this: when a child loves to do something, he will want to joyfully express it in the presence of everyone without being afraid but as they grow up towards teenagehood, they begin to shy away or be passionate about what they love depending on the information that they were able to come across with. 

If they are opportuned to have access to the right information, their faith will grow in order for them to start fulfilling their destiny but absence of this right information is what will cause fear; causing the fellow to feel shy or timid to share. This brought me to a conclusion that the Eye of Destiny is Faith while the blind spot of destiny is Fear.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. From our definition; it is obvious that faith is a spiritual component that contains two important words - Hope and Evidence. Hope which can be likened to expectation and evidence which can be likened to proofs or results. When you hope for anything, the eye of the mind is automatically open. This means you have seen what you are hoping for. There is a saying that the "eyes that see" are few while the "eyes that look" are many. The "eyes that see" brings the evidence or proofs  of what is not seen. When faith is put to action, the hope will sooner turn to results; while the evidences will be clear to everyone. 

For instance, you want to travel to Lagos, a City in Nigeria, the picture of your destination is already on your mind but as you journey which is putting your faith to work, the picture of your destination starts to become clearer.

Destiny is the predetermined end of a person. Every manufactured product has been designed to be useful in one certain way or the other. The manufacturer has already prepared the end of the product from the beginning.

Every product that has a beginning will also have an end. We all have to understand that every human on earth was created in Heaven and sent to the earth to come and rule the earth just as his Creator rules in Heaven. Our ultimate goal should be how to discover what the creator put in us to contribute to humanity. 

The life of a human is  likened to a seed; the destiny of a seed is a plant, i.e.  anytime you are holding a seed you are automatically holding a plant. The seed is a plant but it only becomes a plant by being planted in the right soil, watered with the right water and surrounded by a good weather. The same applies to human life, if we want to become what we are destined to be, we have to stay in the right environment, watered with the right words of life and surrounded with destiny partners i.e right friends. These are what will enable our faith to grow and fulfill destiny in a grand style.

GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 3

 GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 3

HALLELUJAH!!! This week, we have been looking at understanding Godliness as a lifestyle. Until Godliness becomes the way of a man, such a life is never pleasing before God. 1Timothy 2:4 "who will have all men saved and come to the knowledge of his truth". God will have all men saved and come to the knowledge of Righteousness. He will have us come to the understanding of how to live holy. As the scripture admonishes us in Romans 12:1 "that we should present ourselves a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable before God which is our true service". We must understand that we are created to serve the Father. One reason He created man is for service(Ephesians 2:10) and this service to God is daily. A man who will therefore not live holy daily will not be a useful servant unto God. 1Timothy 4:8 makes us to also understand that Godliness is profitable unto all things. 1Timothy 6:6 "Godliness with contentment is great gain".There are no curses in righteousness; only blessings abound. 

Psalm 112:1-3 "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever".

Beginning the week, we see what Righteousness is from God's word. By now, we should understand that if God gives an instruction, there is always a provision for it. If He calls us on an assignment, He has already made the provision for it's fulfilment. Two things we need to do is to then know this truth and ask for the provision. We do not just stop there, we must continue to remain a beneficiary of the source of this provision. If God is the provider of that thing, then to continually be in supply, we have got to stay and remain with Him. Remember a tree cannot abide by itself; it needs the roots to continue growing. The provision for the growth of the tree is in its root but if such a tree is taken away from it's root; though the root may possess all that is needed; the tree however cannot make use of them. We also saw that God's commandments are not grievous. His instructions are gateway to our high places in life. If He has commanded do it, then it means there is a profiting for us in that thing. Isaiah 48:17 "Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit and leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest go". We must understand that every instruction from God is not for Him to profit withal but for us to. He told Abraham "leave your father and mother's house to a place I would show you". It was because there was profit in it for Him. That you are not seeing the blessings now does not mean they will not come unto you. We just must judge Him faithful who has declared the word; knowing that He will never fail. Isaiah 55:11 "so shall the word be that goeth out of my mouth, it shall not return to me void but accomplish that which I please and prosper in that whereto I sent it". Thus, if God says be ye holy for I am holy, then there is a profit to it.

However,  we must understand that for every instruction from God, there is always a war waged against it by the enemy. If God has spoken a thing, the enemy tries to interfere with it. There was a purpose for which God created man and put him in that beautiful garden but the devil, being who he is, came to interfere. We must understand that God and devil are sworn enemies. And for every one who follows after God; that very day the decision is made, you are declared wanted by the devil. He sends all his weapons and instruments out to you to see that you fall. We must understand that the devil never wants blessings for God's people even for humanity as a whole. If a man prospers in ways that are evil, it is that in moments to come, he suffers for all these things. But we see from God's word, "the blessings of God are the true blessings. They make rich and add no sorrow. This means every blessing not from God will come with sorrow. Therefore, we must understand that the enemy has plans to hinder a man from being blessed of God. We see this in Daniel 10 when he stopped the answers to Daniel's prayers. For every believing child of God, know that the fiercest battle we have to fight is against unrighteousness which is Sin. 

Earlier we mentioned the devil deploys certain mechanisms just to derail a man from God's plans for His life. This instrument is the weapon of sin. When Paul was speaking in  Ephesians 6:13-19 "that we should see that we stand firm, having our loins hurt about with truth, the breast plate of Righteousness...". It was in fact against this instrument of Sin. The devil knows God the Father hates sins though he loveth sinners, hence, he puts these in His people and makes them abominable unto God. 1Peter 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil". But God is not cruel neither is He unjust. Hence, he gave man one thing that is the power of choice. You can either choose to sin or choose to live a godly life. This power is given to us after salvation when we are transformed and now by the working of the Holy Spirit in us. We now have the power to subdue the flesh and live according as God instructs. But still we can choose to live in that spirit or in the flesh. Galatians 5 tells us if we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfil the deeds of the flesh. It doesn't mean if we have the Spirit, we will not do the deeds of the flesh but we must see that we live by the Spirit; we also walk in the spirit. And to this, there comes the power He gave us. When we decide to take the stand for righteousness, there is a choice we are making. Yes, the Holy Spirit helps us but also we must be receptive to His helping hands.

We must understand that the same way, there is the Spirit of God which is the Spirit of Righteousness and Holiness; in the same vein, there is a spirit of UNGODLINESS which is the spirit of the devil and which works in man by causing Him to sin. Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience". God's Spirit brings a man to profit, the spirit of the devil brings a man into destruction. Proverbs 14:34 "for righteousness exalts a nation, sin brings shame and reproach". Sin leads a man into captivity from God's word but the righteous is liberated. Psalm 112:1-10 shows us this(please let's read). In Psalm 12:7, we see also that the Lord will keep the righteous and preserve them from the wicked forever.

What then are these tools deployed by the enemy against God's people?

Proverbs 6:16-19; Galatians 5: 19-21

✓a lying spirit: 

✓spirit of pride

✓ a wicked heart

✓ a heart that lusts

✓ a seducing tongue

✓ spirit of dishonesty

✓ spirit of incontentment

✓ sin of stealing

✓spirit of idolatry

✓ sin of witchcraft

✓ spirit of adultery

✓ spirit of fornication

✓ spirit of hatred

✓ spirit of envy, wrath and strife

✓ spirit of covetiousness

✓ rebellious mind

✓ a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations

✓ a heart that loves mischief

✓ spirit of falsehood

✓ a heart that soweth discord

✓ hands that shed innocent blood.

The above amidst many others are weapons used by the devil to lure men out from God's plan and purpose for their life.

GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 2

 GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 2

HALLELUJAH!!! We started the week looking at living the life of Godliness; trying to understand what Righteousness entails. We were made to understand that Godliness is possible as a lifestyle. It is not an impossibility or something that is watched to happen from afar but is actually God's plan for man. We saw from the scriptures man was made in the image and likeness of God. This is the image of Righteousness. God gave man an instruction to walk in Holiness; and only then can His ways be pleasant before Him; only then can he be truly righteous. Understanding also from the scripture, we are made righteous by the Righteousness of Christ. 2Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him". If not by His death and resurrection, the Salvation power will not have been made known to man and UNGODLINESS would have been man's second nature. So, deep in this, we see the grace of Salvation. And today, we will be looking further at Biblical principles of Righteousness.

According to scripture, we understand that It is salvation that brings righteousness. From our short introduction above, it will be agreed upon that at the center of Righteousness comes salvation. Romans 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". Ephesians 2:8-10 also makes us see this. Verse 8 "for by grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God". We are first saved, then the good works are done; not the good works before salvation. Ephesians 2:10 "for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them".

Looking at this last scripture; it shows us that right from time, man was created to live a righteous life; to walk holy. Hence, when God told Abraham in Genesis 17:1 to "walk perfectly". It was in fact not a new law or ordinance but had before hand been ordained. God wants us to live right before Him but the devil wants the opposite. Hence, Jesus Christ had to die; and through this, was salvation made known to man (1John 4:19). There was a re-creation in Christ and the good works ordained beforehand revealed. This is why there is no true righteousness or genuine Righteousness without Christ. Righteousness or Godliness stems from first a genuine repentance. We see from scriptures in Ephesians 1:5,7 "Having predestinated us into the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, In whom we have redemptions through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace". At redemption comes the power to live above sin which is just Righteousness.

In addition, Righteousness stems from a heart filled with love for God. Two people cannot be said to be in love when consistently they hurt each other, whether it is in actions, words or whatever. For two people to be in love, there is some sort of confessions "I will not do anything to hurt you". This is the same way Righteousness is. You can only live a life of godliness if all the way you are a true lover of God. Your love for God will make you live righteously. Psalm 92:15 "our God is upright and there is no unrighteousness in him". It is when you love God that you will love his words and you will be able to follow all that He instructs. It therefore becomes easier to live the life that pleases Him. Jesus did, hence he was able to lay down all requirements for righteousness. When there is love, there is nothing it asks of you, you won't do. John 10:17-18 "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." Love makes it easy to follow through the commandments. This was why when Jesus was asked the greatest of the commandments; He mentioned LOVE. John 15:9-10 "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love". Those that keep the Father's commandments are those who are first genuinely in love with the Father and secondly they stay in love; they remain in that love.

We must also understand that Godliness is ordained to change us into the same image that Christ was. The understanding of this will help so much in knowing that when I walk in godliness; it just means I am living the life of Christ. 2Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from Glory to Glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord". Here is what Godliness does to a man. It changes you. You begin to follow God's instructions carefully - Your love for His word, love for His house and even love for others around. Your mentality is being changed. Whom you were before this great unveiling is not whom you after. This is what Righteousness can do. One is transformed, translated according to 1Peter 2:9-10 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which has not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. There is a transfiguration - "old things are passed away and all things are become new" (the whole point of salvation - 2Corinthians 5:17).

Anoher thing note-worthy is that the concept of sin and Righteousness are not End-points. Many a times, we feel that when certain things are done, then sin comes in as a result. Holiness and sin are both practices (1John 3). And as practices, they are done daily. It is not until Christ comes the second time, then he will say you are a sinner or you are righteous. That very little thing you do everyday is counted as sin everyday. That which you do right everyday is counted as you living right everyday. This is just to tell us that Godliness is the life we live as children of God everyday and sin is the life, the children of the devil live day by day. And for each of them, there is a reward that awaits. The fact that the rewards of our sins or righteousness is not derived as immediate doesn't mean we are not sinning or we are not living a godly life.

GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 1

GODLINESS AS A LIFESTYLE - PART 1

The concept of Godliness, Righteousness and Holiness have been used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Righteousness and Holiness are both attributes of God (Psalm 92:15paraphrased "our God is upright and there is no unrighteousness in him". 1Peter 2:16 "Be ye holy, for I am holy.)

Godliness on the other hand is living a godly life. In every essence, one lives to  please God. Living a life that pleases God. In all definition above, we see at the center of it all, God is the reference point. Whether it's an attribute or a way of life, God is the reference point.

One subject matter that has been preached so often, yet it's understanding is not fully known by men is this concept of Righteousness and Godly living. Understanding of an issue is what makes us outstanding in it. There is a clear distinction between being morally upright and having a life of Godliness. These are two very different things. That a man is morally upright does not mean he is walking in righteousness. But you cannot live a godly life and not be morally upright. 

What then are morals?

Morals can be said to mean behavior or lifestyle that conforms to an acceptable standard in the society. It is just a socially acceptable phenomenon. A principle of right and wrong. When a man is morally upright; there is infact a law that defines this upright nature. Such a person might not even know God talk less of being a believer; but because there have been certain laid down rules and regulations which such a person adheres well to; he is referred to as good.

But Righteousness goes far beyond "good". It's not an acknowledgement by men. Morally upright men are seen as good. But our Righteousness is judged by God. There is a yardstick; a measure upon which this is made. Proverbs 16:2 "All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits". The Bible makes us in Psalm 7:9 to understand that the righteous God trieth the heart and reins. In 2Timothy 2:19"The Lord knoweth them that are his. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ flee iniquity". 

Our righteousness is not self acclaimed. It is different from moral uprightness. While there are natural standards for a person who is morally upright. The standard for our righteousness stems from God and His word. It is supernatural (beyond natural laws). This is why, in the event of certain things happening and the laws are interfered with; a morally upright man could lose his stand. Because to begin with, the laws of the society had this defined. For a person morally upright, he is kept in check by the governing laws and the length of this is as those who have made it. We see in our world today so many who are morally upright but are not righteous.

First, we must understand that Righteousness is of God. To live righteously is to live right with God and His word. The Pharisees in the scriptures were lovers of the law and many times their law would clash with Jesus's teachings and why would this be so? It doesn't mean their law was wrong or Jesus was wrong. The law of the word and law of righteousness are founded on different grounds. While one is ephemeral, the other is eternal. The foundation of God's word standeth sure as we see in 2Timothy 2:19. 1Corinthians 3:11 paraphrased "No other foundation is laid than that which is already laid; Jesus Christ who is the word of God". So many scriptures to explain this to us.

Secondly, we must understand that there is a war against Godliness. There is a striving against us living righteously. Not even in the world as we have it today. Many have missed it and so many are still missing it. People are falling daily into the temptation of sin and ungodliness. And this has now become like a norm. No one sees them as wickedness anymore. No one sees lying as a sin or stealing as a sin. There is now a way to lie without sinning and to steal without sinning. We have been blindfolded and have lost our understanding (Isaiah 5:13 "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge"). 

It is one thing to be faced with a battle; it's another to be faced with a battle and not know. The latter is the worst of it all. A person who knows he is fighting a battle; even though he possesses no spear or arrow. When the insult comes, he is aware enough to dodge them; but for a person who is in fact unaware that there is a war against his life; he is kept in dark of things and he is gone. This is what is happening today. The darkness of sin taking over the world but still God is saying there is light in righteousness. Still, he says Be ye holy, for I am holy. Still he says "Walk before me and be thou blameless". We need no preaching anymore to understand that sin is of the devil and righteousness is from God. Thus, when we commit sin, we are only telling the devil "Father, I have made you proud". The Bible makes us to understand the Father of all sinners is the devil. It was in fact through him, sin came unto mankind. But God is saying; I wish that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of my truth -1Timothy 2:4". What truth is this? The truth of Holiness, the truth of Righteousness; the truth of Godly living.

Thirdly, we must understand that it is possible to live a life to please God always. Note that word "always". It's not that I  please Him when he does so great things for me or I please Him in the mornings and I don't in the evenings. It is possible to live a life of Godliness at ALL TIMES. Whenever God gives an instruction, there is always a provision to make it happen. He will never say a word and not make available what is needed or would have made available what is needed. 1Thessalonians 5:24 "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it". Every instruction is backed up with Grace for accomplishment. God has asked us to live a holy life; live to please Him, then He must have made provisions for us to do this. One of this is the provision of Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

1Peter 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous".God does not speak to put pressure on a man; His word is as a matter of fact accompanied with pleasures. The word of Righteousness with the pleasures of Righteousness.

Thanks for reading through.
