 I just thought that today, just before we start of this, in faith, looking at Joshua 1 verse 8, God gives Joshua the instruction, so Joshua 1 verse 8, so the book of law of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in a day and night that you may observe to do all that is written in it, for then you will make you a prosperous and then you will have good success. So Joshua faces a situation where Moses is not there as a leader and the Lord gives him instructions, like in person meets with him, gives him the instruction, commands him to be strong and to be courageous, not be afraid, and then in faith he says, you will have good success, you will make your way prosperous. So he seems to objectives saying, you will have good success and you will make your way prosperous. Meaning something that you will do in order to make you a prosperous. And then the thing that he says is this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth. The three things there, that it will not depart from your mouth, that you meditate in it day and night, day and night meditation, which means it's part of your thinking, you're repeating it over and over again, it occupies your space in your mind, you're giving it that importance and it talks about, he gives the third thing is that you observe to do everything according to what's written in it, you carry out the instruction, you obey and the end result is this. So one of the things is to declare, to speak out, it shall not depart from your mouth, let it be part of your speaking. Simply put, you can say, let it be part of your speaking, let it be part of your thinking, let it be part of your doing. So speaking, you want to speak his word. So let's make a color of ecstasy. I know you have your mics muted but then you can declare it and speak it up over your own lives. So I can say it out loud. The blood of Jesus has purchased and redeemed me, brought me near to God and given me boldness to enter God's most holy presence. I am covered and protected because of the blood of Jesus. I am made covenant with God through the blood of Jesus. The blood has set me free. From the wrong ways of my ancestors, I overcome the enemy by the blood of Jesus. Okay, here's one more specifically about prosperity and success. It says, I am like a tree, planted by rivers of water. I bring forth my fruit in its season. My leaf does not wither and whatever I do, prospers. I am blessed in all the works of my hands. I follow the Lord, His word and His ways and He causes me to prosper and gives me good success. As I walk humbly and in the fear of the Lord, He blesses me with prosperity, honor and long life. Okay, last one. My promotion, growth and increase comes from God. It is God who makes room for my promotion. As I submit to the Lord, He exalts me in His time. It is God who sets me in places of leadership, authority and influence. Amen. Praise God. So as we declared, as we believe and as we declare, may the Lord do unto us and may we experience the fruit of what we declared. I propose that even 21 also says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will delight in its fruit or will experience the fruit. So may we experience what we just declared in our own lives. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the power of your word. We thank you that your word is truth and you are the way of the truth and the life. And we thank you, Lord, that you've given us the privilege and the opportunity to speak your word. You've instructed us to speak your word, Lord, over our cells, Lord, over our families, over our situations, Lord. And your word is sufficient God and you are sufficient God to make us sufficient as ministers of the gospel. We thank you for the power of your word. We thank you for, Lord, you are bringing it to pass in our own lives. Lord, may each one of us experience the power and walk in the reality of what we just declared right now. Yes, Lord, we give you all the praise. We give you all the glory. In Jesus' matchless name we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay. In the last class, we looked at some of the hindrances. We've been looking at financials to which we look at things that might come in the way, that might hinder us, that might be a blockage for us. We have an enemy who's an accuser, we have an enemy who's a devourer, and several other things we looked at, which could come. We have wrong motives, wrong attitudes towards finances, wrong understanding. If there is insufficient effort, all this goes against, in a way, what God's plan is for our lives. And we have the ability. So today, let's look at some of the principles that God has already set in place. When it comes to prosperity, when it comes to growth, increase in success that he wants for our lives, we see that, you know, there are some things that he has already set in place, or principles that he's put in place. So when we look at the world principle itself, right, let me just I'm sorry I just lost you guys a bit. Can you hear me now? Sorry, just checking. Yes, but there had been interruptions. There was, oh, it right throughout, is it? Most. Oh, okay, I see, okay, okay. Right. Okay, so can you see what I've put up in the chat, or is the chat cleaned up? We can see most. You can see, okay, fine. So principle, you know, when you look at the word principle itself, it means that it's a it's a fundamental thing. It's a proposition or an assertion, right, a statement that one makes, which is a foundation for either a system of belief, behavior, you know, a pattern of reasoning, etc. It's a principle. So God has put down certain principles that are foundation for, for, you know, for success, foundation for this whole idea of growth and increase and prosperity in our lives. So he has put down some principles in his word. So it's good for, okay, here you see. So all of us, we are invited to, I mean, the reason for God giving us his principle is that, you know, he invites us to live by them. And it's an opportunity for us to put to practice and see the fruit of it, right, enjoy the fruit of it in our own lives, right, you know, as, as he's given us principles in touching all other areas of life. So also when it comes to finances, when it comes to success and growth, okay. So many times, you know, what happens is, you know, we, we give our lives to God and people also, you know, the work and business and everything, you know, we dedicate it to God and say, Lord, you know, we want this, we want this, we want to do it how you want us to do it, right. We pray, we dedicate, we consecrate. And then what happens is that we, we try to operate or we try to do it the way the world does it. Okay. Now, the thing is, with God, there is no darkness. He's good. He's holy. He's righteous. He does not bring in a mixture of righteous and unrighteousness. Like, he does not bring in a mixture of light and darkness. Like, because this is his nature, you know, he does not lead us in parts of unrighteousness. He does not do anything. His principles are righteous and holy, right. So when we, when we try to mix that with the principle of the world, the principles of the world or the ways of the world, which are, you know, opposite of what God says or what God does, which is totally opposite of God's nature. And when we desire to have success, that is where we have problems. Like, we run into problems because we're trying to, you know, mix and match or we're trying to pick and choose. And then, and then we have problems, right. So, so if we are dedicating ourselves to God and if we are deciding that we want to do it God's way, then we need to operate things or do things according to his principles, right. His ways, his will, his word. So let's look at a few of that. Okay. So this is what God says. Isaiah 55, this is 811. When we see that God, this is what he says, you know, he says, my thoughts are not your thoughts. My ways are not your ways. So his thoughts, his way of doing things, are not ours. His ways are higher than the earth is, so are, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher. He says, and my thoughts, then your thoughts. For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven and do not return there, but water the earth and make it drink forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my, goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void or empty or useless, but it shall accomplish or achieve what I please. It shall prosper, it shall be successful in the thing for which I sent it. So the Lord releases his ways. So he's talking about a few things here. You know, the verses before that actually talks about the wicked man. It talks about let the wicked man forsake his thoughts and the unrighteous his ways. Let me just read that also. So we know the context in which it's, you know, this verse is, this instruction has been given, seek the Lord while he may be found. That is verse 6. And then verse 7, let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord and he will have mercy on him and to our God and for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts. So he's talking, he's still talking about the wicked man. He's talking about the man who, you know, lives according to the world and he's saying, you know, let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous his thoughts. So he's talking about the wicked, he's talking about the unrighteous person. And then he's comparing, you know, himself and he says, the Lord says, my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are my ways your ways. Right? So he's talking about his ways, God's thoughts, God's ways, God's will, his way of doing things is very different from the wicked, from the unrighteous. And so he's saying, you know, let the wicked discard, forsake his way and the unrighteous, forsake his thoughts, unrighteous man, his thoughts. So it's very clear that God's ways are different from the ways of the world. His ways are righteous, his ways are holy. And he says, you know, very, very clearly he says, this is what my word does, right? The purpose for which I send the word, it will not, it will fulfill, right? When I release my word, it will fulfill. And we see right from the beginning, right? In Genesis, we see, he speaks, he creates and the scripture over and over again says, he said it and it was so. He spoke it and it was so. And that's our God, the power of his word, creative, changing, life transforming. So God says, this will be, this is how my word is, so shall my word be, that goes forth from my mouth. So when we're looking at his word, when we're looking at his principles, we can be sure that, yes, God's word is powerful, God's principles and his way, his principles reflect his character, right? So when we carry out something, first of all, to identify and to make sure, okay, it is the principle that has its foundation and scripture, okay? So these are, so we know for sure that, yes, this is something that God backed up by God. This is something that has his approval. And this is something that is in line with his character and nature, right? And we go ahead and carry it out knowing fully well that his word is powerful, that his word will not return to him empty or futile or unsuccessful, but it will always achieve and accomplish the reason for which he released it. So with that understanding and with that faith and confidence, we can go ahead and do it, okay? So well, it will not be a shortcut. It will sometimes, it does not happen that instant success or it's definitely not a shortcut, but it will achieve the purpose for which God releases it, the purpose for which he established it, okay? Let's look at a few other scriptures. Okay, Joshua 1, we looked at right now. Let's look at Isaiah 48 and verses 17 and 18, okay? Isaiah 48, 17. Thus says the Lord your Adema, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go. O that you had heeded my commandments, then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea, okay? So we see here the Lord's desire and intent to teach us to profit, okay? So to teach us, you know, he wants to instruct us, he wants to, his desire is, he says, I am the Lord who teaches you. I am the one who instructs you, trains you, who takes you from a place of ignorance to a place of knowledge or knowing, and what is it? I'm teaching you to benefit, I'm teaching you to profit, and I'm the Lord who leads you by the way you should go. So in other words, he's saying, I teach you to profit, I also teach you the method, right? The way you should go in order to reach that end, in order to reach that objective. I teach you, I instruct you, and he says, oh that you had heeded my commandments, okay? Oh, I wish you, you would heed, you would listen with the intent to follow, that you would heed my commandments, then your shalom would have been like a river that flows, okay? Unending, just wave upon wave and your righteousness like the waves of the sea, your shalom, your righteousness, it'll just be flowing, it'll be unending, but I wish you had heeded my commandments. I wish you had heeded my commandments. So this is the Lord's, you know, the Lord's desire and this is what he intends to do Isaiah 48, very clear, talks about that. Eutronomy 29 also, you know, a similar verse, let's go there. Eutronomy 29 and verse 9. Eutronomy 29 and verse 9. Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them that you may prosper in all that you do, okay? Keep the words of this covenant and do them. So keep them, meaning you, you know, you protect them, you receive it, you protect it, you be established in it with the intent of doing it, you know, and then it says and do them, actually carry them out, right? Actually do it so that you may prosper in all that you do, okay? So see, so which means that God's principles, God's covenant, God's ways are really to benefit us, to help us, to reach our, you know, objectives, to reach and accomplish our objectives, right? And they are powerful enough. It's many times we think, no, it seems very simple, the Word of God, it seems too straightforward, right? I wish there were some twists and turns, too straightforward, too truthful, no manipulation, right? No hidden agenda. Will this really accomplish the purpose, right? But the fact is that because it is simple, because it is, it is from Him who spoke things into existence and because it has intrinsic power, it is powerful, it's alive, it is well able, knowing who speaks it, knowing who gives it to us, the Word of God, the principles of God, the ways of God are well able to accomplish. God is well able to accomplish, His principles are well able to accomplish and take us to the destiny that He intends for us, right? So never be in doubt about that, never be in doubt about the principles of God and for some of those of us who are maybe in business or who have been working professionals and, you know, we know the heat of that, you know, the challenge or heat of that trial, right? And the pressures that we might have faced, right? The pressure to compromise, right? So I'm sure sometimes that pressure would have been very, very unrelenting over and over and over again because you wanted to reach the objective, you wanted to perform well, you wanted to make sure the goals are reached, you know, the work goals, the business goals, everything. And the pressure can be unrelenting to compromise on God's standards, right? To compromise on His ways. And so, you know, we sometimes double think or, you know, second guess and think, okay, will this really work? Right? But the fact is, knowing who God is, knowing who says and who asks us to do it, you know, we can go fully, go forward in faith and do it. Okay, let's read another scripture, 1 Kings chapter 2, David's instructions, right? First things, chapter 2 and verses 1, 1, 2, and 3. So it says, now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon and his son saying, I go the way of all the, all the earth, be strong therefore and prove yourself a man and keep the charge of the Lord your God to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn. It says that the Lord may fulfill His word, which He spoke concerning me. So this is the promise of God. And people knew it. People understood it, knew the importance of it. Now, this is some of His last words, right? So it's coming to the end of His life, and He wants His son to do well. And here is the emphasis, here is the weight of the, you know, some of these, the last words are important because, you know, it's like, He knows the time is short and He wants to communicate something which is very, very important. So it's obviously, it's very important. And this is what He says. He says, keep the charge of the Lord, the statutes, the commands, the testimonies, and His judgments to walk in His ways, as it is written, that you may prosper in all that you do, wherever you turn. So we can understand the weight of all this, and we can carry it out. So this is something, you know, God's principles, the importance of God's principles, the importance of operating our business, our work, our profession, you know, out of God's principles. Now, they may not necessarily be in line with the Word of God. I mean, this ends the principles of the world, may not necessarily be in line with the Word of God. But God's principles will ensure that, you know, His righteousness is established and the success or whatever the objectives are, they are reached. So let's look at a few of those things that He has already established. He wants us as believers to reach out and take a firm grip of. The first thing we see is that, you know, to put God first, Matthew chapter 6, verse 33, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. So seek first God and kingdom of God, which means the rule of God, the domain of God, the reign of God, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. So which means don't compromise on integrity, don't compromise on the nature of God or the righteousness of God, don't compromise on it. Many times we compromise because we think that we will lose out. What if I'm not successful? What if I lose out? What if I get the second best? The way of the world seems to be very compelling, so manipulative, so cutthroat. So, you know, it's like it's so aggressive, right? But we can be aggressive in our faith, we can be aggressive in our stand, and we can really dig deep, anchor ourselves and say, no, I will not, I will not change. I'm going to seek God's rule and reign in this matter. I'm going to seek the kingdom of God in this particular matter, seek the kingdom of God, invite His rule and reign in this situation, in this circumstance. I'm going to seek Him. And all these things shall be added into you. And of course, we know this whole, you know, this passage, he's talking about not worrying about what you will eat, not worrying about what you will drink or about food and clothing and so on, right? So not worrying about it, right? So, and in the same way, in the same passage, in the same line of thought, he says, all these things will be added, right? But you seek first. So you need to seek God first, you know, He's going to make a way, He's going to make maybe, He's going to provide in many different ways, right? Through a job, through an assignment, through a project, through people, through His amazing, maybe kindness of God and favor of God, miraculous ways, supernatural ways, I mean, He knows how to do it. But it's also through human effort, it's also through, you know, employment and work. So never forget that, right? But seek first His kingdom, meaning His rule and His reign in life circumstances, in situations, right? Okay, let's look at a few other scriptures. And then probably we'll just see, you know, maybe you can share, how do I put God first, some practical ways that I can put God first, so that we understand it better. Okay, second chronicles and 26 verse five, He sought God out in the days of Zachariah, who had understanding in the visions of God. And as long as He sought the Lord, God made Him prosper. So it's about seeking Him, about searching Him out, searching, you know, seeking His heart and what His ways are, right? So it's talking about, I think it's talking about King Uzziah, right? He was 16 years old and He sought God in the days of Zachariah, who had understanding in the visions of God. And as long as He sought the Lord, God made Him prosper. And it says the very same thing, which the Lord Jesus spoke about, seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added. Okay, but if you go down to verse 16, right, we see that something tragic, right? Something tragic happening to Uzziah because of his pride and, you know, it says here verse 16, but when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord, his God, by entering the temple of the Lord, to burn incense on the altar of the Lord. And then, you know, the rest of the passage talks about how he became a leper and how he died, you know, cutting, being cut off from the community of his kingdom, you know, he died alone. So, cut off from the house of the Lord. So, you know, that's what he tried to do, you know, he tried to go and burn incense, which was set aside for the priests to do. And then he sinned in that manner. And he sinned because his heart was lifted up. He was proud and arrogant and so on. So, but we see two different things here. As long as he sought the Lord, he did what was right. The previous verse talks about that. He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father, Amaziah, had done. And he sought the Lord. So, this is, so, which means I need to put God first, make God priority. Now, that's a precept, that's a principle in his word. Okay, put God first. So, you tell me, you know, in your context and, you know, in, you know, everyday thing, how do you think a person can really put God first? You know, some examples, some thoughts, which will be useful for us. You think of yourself, okay, maybe you're a teacher, maybe you're a, you know, you're a homekeeper, and maybe you're a student. You know, how can you put God first in your life in that situation? Or maybe some challenge that you faced, and you put God first, and you experience the outcome. Or we can even talk about, you know, some things that didn't happen yet, right? Because of putting God first, but we can talk about that also. So, anyone? You can go ahead and share. Subashish, Lubega, Lealama, John, Nicholson, Nikki, anyone? About putting God first, your, your, your exam, I mean, your experience, and how you, any outcome that you want to share. I'll give you a minute to think about it. Okay? And then you can come back. So, as you're, you know, thinking about it, let's get next principle. Okay, I'll just share that, and then we'll come back to this. Because I think that it's, it's important. We sometimes think, okay, okay, I need to put God first, but, but how do I do it, right? Well, how do I do it in, in life's situation? I think if we, if we talk about that, then it'll be easier, you know, or this is how I do it. Okay, it's not about just reading scripture and say, seek first the kingdom of God, but then in reality, this is what it looks like. Right? So, yeah. Okay, so I will come back to this, but I just want you guys to, you know, share something from your life. It should be useful for the entire class. Okay. So second thing that we see is that doing what God wants you to be doing. Okay. So, which means that I do, it's, it's, it's a natural progression, right? I'm doing God's, I mean, I'm putting God first, I'm putting him right at the top in my list of priorities. But I'm also, you know, second thing is I'm doing what he wants. It just goes without saying that I need to do or live out what he wants me to do and in the way he wants me to do it. Okay. So God's will, we know God's will does not contradict his word. Okay. God's word, God's will, they do not contradict his, you know, in any way. God's word is his will. That is, God's, when you say God's will, God's wish or desire, right? There are certain things that we know will happen in God's time, in God's, you know, what he is, how he's willed it, second coming, and, you know, he is, he has the timetable, he has the schedule. Okay. There are certain things that he desires for us that is dependent on our will, on our obedience. So, but this is his desire and it's based on his word, which is based on truth, his principles, precepts, right, and which is his way, right, which means his character, his way of doing things. It's, so it's all together. So, his desire is that we do it. Okay. The way he wants us to do it and what he wants us to be doing. Okay. Because what he wants us to do has our, you know, one is, of course, we fulfilled his plan. We fulfilled the plan and purpose of God. Okay. The reason for which he has brought us, placed us, trained us, equipped us, everything gets fulfilled. And we also know that in doing so, you know, it is for our good. It is for our good. We know that he cares, we know that he's the heavenly Father. So, it is everything comes together. Let's look at one scripture and then we'll stop Genesis 39. Genesis 39 and verse two. The Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful man and he was in the house of the Lord of his master, the Egyptian. Okay. So, here was Joseph. He was, we know what happened. He was sold as a slave. He's here in Egypt, cut off from his family and any other, you know, that influence. He's far away. But who was with him was the Lord. Right. And because of that, he did what was right in God's eyes. You know, he did what God wanted him to do. He kept away from things that God did not want him to do. And it says here that he was a successful man. Okay. We go down to verse 23. Even in, even in, you know, in a different environment, here it's a prison. It says the keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority. Okay. So, you see, excuse me, in different environments, in different circumstances, success was part and parcel of his life. Right. Because his choices were dependent. His choices were influenced by God, God wanted. Because he makes it very clear. When he says, when he refutes Potiphar's wife, and this is what he says, right. He refused, that is verse eight, but he refused and said to his master's wife, look, my master does not know what is with me in the house. And he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me, but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? Okay. So his perspective was always that in doing this, am I doing according to God's ways and will? In not doing this, am I doing it because God does not want me to do it? So he says, you know, how can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? Okay. So verse 23, the keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper. So prosperity, success coming from God. Right. So yeah, so let's go back. I think that's had sufficient time to think. So this let me, maybe you can just share about putting God first. I'm sorry, I think I lost the network there and came back. So yeah, I see Nicky's got his hand also, Abu Bakr. So yeah, maybe Nicky can share first, followed by Abu Bakr. So I have shared this before, but I just make it quick. I mean, instance for our life, we were in a position in Bangalore, where we had to, we felt like that we should leave from Bangalore, which is a very well established city in India to another place called Karwar, where my wife or my skill sets were not applicable in any way. So it was very interesting that we felt like to do that. But we obeyed God and we were also in the time of starting our own business. So we had worked really hard and we were in a point where I would start my studio. She would start us alone. And that's when the Lord said get up and move, which was new to us, but we did it anyway. And it was hard, I would say it was the first few months was a lot of breaking of my own mentality, pride, and because we felt like we achieved it on our own. But God was faithful. Then three months down there in Karwar, we gave up. We said, you know what, God, we're going back to you. So we went back to God and said, do whatever you want, we'll just obey. And so the salary wise, I was getting about one third of water was getting in Bangalore because business is not as much required here than in Bangalore. But miraculously, we were saving, we had more than enough. And it's very contradictory to Bangalore where we had a lot of money, but we are not saving, we are spending everything. And it's very different. But just putting God's will before anything else and just obeying, we've seen, now we've been here for three years. And after two years, we were ordained as pastors of the church, which we never thought will ever happen. So it's a very long story in short, just obeying God's word and following his plans and purposes changed everything for us. So yeah, that's what I would say. Yeah, praise God. Awesome. So yeah, so it's definitely not a very comfortable ride in the sense it's, you know, I guess, knowing Nikki and Benita, you know, it stretched them. I'm sure it pushed them to the very edge where they had to, you know, hold on to God. But then his plans and purposes coming together and something beautiful, something wonderful. Right. Thanks, Nikki. Thanks. So I just wanted to add, we made it uncomfortable for ourselves. I mean, what I mean is if we had just had faith and let God work, I'm sure it had been easier much, much before. Now we completely trust in God, but we over complicated it and try to do our own thing. So it's easier just resting in God's purpose. Yeah. Right. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else? I think it was a worker, right? Go ahead. Yes, sir. The way, putting God first to the level of my understanding and the way I'm participating I believe that if you want to put God first, you must, God must be the first person to talk with when you wake up in the morning. Commit yourself into the hands of the Lord by praying, talk to your God, ask the Holy Spirit to direct you, direct your way for that day. So that's what I'm doing. I will wake up before I talk to anybody. I'll first talk to my God. I mean, anything that I want to do on that day, I put it under his control, under his control, to guide me, to lead me through, to teach me what to do. Even if I want to, I'm a teacher, I'm teaching a secondary school. I see. I normally ask God to teach me what to teach my students. To God be the glory, I'm one of the best teachers in my school because all the students they love listening to my teaching. I put God, that's my own understanding. I never want to do anything about anything in my life. I will ask God first, do I do it or I do not do it. And if I'm doing it, I see that I'm strongly, I will ask God, am I doing what you want me to do? Because I'm not asking you to do that, I will stop. I will ask God, what do you want me to do? And I will go for God instruction. So that's how I live my life and I'm enjoying God. So that's my own confusion. Okay. Thank you for your work. That was the inspiring. The first person to talk to, or the first activity itself is communing with God, communicating with God, getting to talk to him and to hear what he has to say. That's a very practical way again of putting God first, asking him. Yeah, amazing. Anyone else? Yeah, sure. So John Paul, followed by Paul, you go too. Yeah. So when I was working in a secular job before, what I used to do is I used to have a document which named as my declaration at workplace. So I go to the office, read it out. There were challenging times, you know, targets to, it was impossible to achieve. But I kept on declaring that almost every day, the first thing when I opened the laptop. And miraculously, it all worked out. And when I was resigning from my secular work, I got good feedback from managers saying that you carry a lot of spirituality and a positive energy with you. That's what they usually call it. And I praise God because it's not, I truly, when I look back, I see it's not my ability, but God made me to do it. And also in finding a life partner, I always trusted God in helping, you know, getting to getting to get a person who is in God's will and plan and truly trusted God in every aspect. And I now see the blessing of God in that area. Wow. Thank you. Thank you, John. Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. Paul, would you like to share? Paul Evo too. I think we have a minute. Paul, can you hear me? I think you just need to unmute and share. Yes, I can hear you. Yeah, go ahead, Paul. For me, what I do, yes, for me in the area of my finances, I make sure I'm a faithful tither. Yeah. Everything I get, every money I get, I obey the command of paying tithes. And then also in my office, whenever I enter, before I do anything, I first pray, I dedicate the office to God. So that is how I do it. Thank you. Wow. Thank you so much. So useful. So we see that these principles need to translate into everyday things, just pull some things are well-charging, but we, that's how we, that's how we allegedly obey and do it. And then we will see good success. Thank you for sharing. So we'll close here. And yeah, so all the very best. Have a great weekend. God bless you guys. And even as we go forward, let's, whatever we learn, let's put it in practice. Okay. Thank you. God bless. Bye-bye.
