 Good morning, everyone. Welcome to this morning's Mentoring Hour. We will begin with a word of prayer. I'd like to request any one of us to please lead in a word of prayer. Divya, would you be able to lead us, please? Sure, Pastor Nancy. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father, for this wonderful time that you've given us, Lord. Thank you, Father, for this opportunity, Lord, to ask questions, Lord, to get, Lord, your wisdom, Father, into all the questions that we are having, Father. Thank you, Father, for the pastors. Thank you, Lord, for all those who are joining. Father, Lord, bless each one of us, Father. Let your presence be with us throughout this time. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Divya. So, as we're all aware, the Mentoring Hour is a great time for us to ask questions. These questions can be pertaining to the things that we are learning in the course, or they can be questions outside of the course. It can be questions from daily life. So, if there are any questions, then please do post it on the chat, or you could please unmute your mics and go ahead and ask these questions. So, even as we wait for people to share their questions here, I just thought I would ask what different ones of us are learning in our journey with the Lord. So, if there's something new that you're learning, it would be great if you can share it with all of us. So, this time is open. Anyone who would like to share what you're learning from God's Word. Okay, once again, I think I will ask Divya. Divya, is there anything new that you're learning in this season? Actually, in my reading of the Bible, I was getting more into each words, trying to understand the meaning of the words in a deeper way. So, I think it's not like a peripheral kind of reading that I'm doing. So, the Bible College has helped me to have interest in that way, to really understand. And, currently I'm reading. Yeah, one thing that really strikes me was in Hosea. I was reading Hosea, and one thing was like, without the lack of knowledge, the people perish, that particular verse. That strikes me a lot, because if I stop learning and understanding more of God, and trying to have a deeper relationship, then I feel like our growth will be stunted. Because we do not, that relationship with God is so important. And I really loved, in the course, Developing the Human Spirit, Abbas Rajesh had told us about seven disciplines that we can use for our growth. Like Communion and reading the Word, Praying. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's helping me in my personal spiritual growth. Wow, yeah, that's really wonderful Divya, and thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm excited to know that your course, your study here at APC Bible College is also helping you in your journey with the Lord. So, yeah, thanks once again. At this moment, I want to ask all of us once again, if you have any questions, if you have, then please do go ahead and post on the chat, or maybe ask by unmuting your mics. Yes. So, actually, I have a question. I don't know if it's a very, you know, it's a question that has an answer already, but I thought I would just pose it for us here. So that in the current scenario, some of the things are happening in the world. So I was just asking myself this question, you know, how do you understand the things that are unfolding? Currently, we have a situation that is happening between two particular countries. So I just thought I would, you know, place it and maybe, you know, one of our faculty could share your insights on this. How do we understand the events that are taking place currently? Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Yes. I'll just share some thoughts and others can also share. So, thank you. So we're seeing Russia invade Ukraine. And we're seeing just one other European country, Belarus, who's kind of feel just aligning themselves with Russia. And then of course we're also seeing some other countries that are non-committal like China, India. Who are not, you know, they're just taking, trying to take a neutral stand, especially China. So, and then of course we're seeing how, you know, a lot of the European Union, the countries in the European Union as well as North America and who are, you know, coming together in a very, very united way to counteract what Russia is doing. So I think all of this is very interesting, especially when you look at what will be played out in Bible times, sorry, in the end times, as given to us in Scripture. When we, especially when you look at the buildup towards Armageddon, the final war, we know that, you know, the scriptures to reveal to us that, and this is in Revelation 16, that towards, you know, the end of the seven year tribulation, the nations of the earth will be, will move against or towards Israel as a nation. And that's the buildup of the war towards Armageddon. And, you know, and if you just see how all of that plays out, how the Antichrist comes into power and how he actually unfolds that. And you look at what Daniel Rebelle, he talks about 10 leaders coming out of the former Roman Empire, which largely is the area, you know, that covers the European Union as well as other parts. 10 leaders coming there and then one leader coming out who will then subdue three others. You know, and I'm not saying Putin is an Antichrist, but I'm just saying you can see that kind of dynamic already happening how Putin has in some way subdued the president of Belarus, meaning he's just having him like a puppet. So very much like that, the Antichrist would subdue three of these 10 leaders, they will just fall in place with him. And they will give him, you know, the means to come into power and the Antichrist and then his all out attack is against Israel. And now here, today we are seeing Putin just going against Ukraine, the Ukrainians, for whatever reason. But, you know, you see so much of that in the Antichrist going out against Israel. And then we see Ezekiel 38-39 shows how Russia would move from the north against Israel. It'll have its allies, including Persia, which is modern day Iran, Turkey. Today Turkey is somewhat opposing Russia, but maybe Turkey will come into alignment with Russia according to Ezekiel 38 later on. We see Turkey, we see parts of Germany. We see all those nations mentioned there in Ezekiel 38 that fall into alignment with Russia as it moves in towards Israel. As Revelation 16, 9 and 10 talks about the armies of the east, which most likely would be, you know, big nations in the east of Israel are obviously Russia and China. So they're moving in towards Israel. So we see all of the, you know, what's playing out today in some ways like a miniature version of the Battle of Armageddon. So, you know, just the dynamics between nations, the alignment of nations, you know, towards a foreign against each other. All of that is very interesting to see as we see, you know, as we see things given to us in the Bible in Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation. So from that perspective, I think it's just interesting to observe. Of course, what is happening is not nice, but it is interesting to see these things. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you so much for helping us understand what is going on right now through the eyes of Scripture. We have some questions here on our chat. These questions are from Herbert. So Herbert asks some, some people say the first day of the week is Sunday, whereas others say it's Monday. And I think some others say Saturday. Who are most correct? So that is Herbert's first question. So maybe we'll take up this question and then I'll go ahead and read Herbert's next question. So which is the week's first day? Who is correct? So that is his question. Would one of our faculty like to answer this question? Pastor Paul, any, any insights, thoughts on this question? Hi, Pastor. I'm not really sure about this. Sorry. All right. All right. Yes. Thank you so much. So then I'll just leave it open to any of our faculty to please take this. Pastor, would you? Yeah, but so if you want to go biblically, biblically, Sunday is also referred to as the first day of the week. That's the resurrection day. And so in the New Testament, Sunday is referred to as the first day of the week. So that's biblically. Also, if you look at it from a calendar standpoint, we know all our calendars start with Sunday, Sunday to Saturday. So from a calendar practical standpoint, Sunday is also the first day of the week. So now, of course, Monday is considered the first day of the work week. So it depends if somebody is talking about the work week, then obviously they're referring to Monday in most parts of the world. In the Middle East, you know, they have Friday as their day off. So their work week may start on a different day, either Saturday or Sunday. That just depends on their part of the world. But generally speaking, if you want to look at biblically, biblically, the first day of the week is Sunday. If you look at it from a calendar perspective, the first day of the week is Sunday, or the first day of the work week is Monday. So that's fine. Thank you, Pasta. Thank you, Herbert. The next question that Herbert has here for us is, Ash Wednesday, is it when Jesus went in wilderness for 40 days? So Ash Wednesday, like how does that come about? Is it correlated to the fasting that Jesus took, he went into the wilderness for 40 days? Pasta, would you please like to answer this question as well? I don't know too much about Ash Wednesday. Yeah, I think the Ash Wednesday is actually 46 days before Easter Sunday. But when you don't count the Sundays, so it's a 40 day season and it's basically represents Christ's time of temptation in the wilderness. So these 40 days is, you know, people just spend time with repentance, fasting, and just focusing on Christ's finished work, what he's done, you know, just kind of time of personal growth, time of personal reflection, one's own life, taking time out to just, you know, look into their own lives, just spend time with the Lord. And this Ash, I think, is basically about, you know, like the Old Testament, when people used to repent of their sins or when they're mourning or, you know, when they're grieving, they used to shave their head and they used to put on sackcloth and they used to sit in ashes, basically resembling or, you know, symbolizing that they are repenting of their sins. Ash is like, you know, when you burn something that is dead, so, you know, and so you just are in a time of mourning, of a time of repenting of their sins or grieving. So it just symbolizes that, yeah. So it's a time when the church will celebrate or take time off to just focus and, you know, time of repentance, fasting, and focusing on the Lord. Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much, Pastor Selina, for sharing. Thank you, Pastor. Yeah, thank you for also asking these questions. We'll go further. If, you know, any others have things that you would like to ask, then please do. Yes, Divya, I see that you've raised your hand. Please go ahead. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Nancy. My question is from Hebrews chapter 9, which I'll just, it's talking about the tabernacle and how the lampstand, the table, showbread, all these are arranged. And in verse 4, it talks about the altar of incense and the Ark of the Covenant within the most holy place. In Hebrews 9 verse 4, I'll just read the verse 4, which had the golden censor and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid on all sides with gold. Yeah, and it just keeps telling about those things in the most, in the tabernacle sanctuary. Right, so my question is, like, when we read the Old Testament, we get to see that the altar of incense is outside the most holy place. Like, it is in front of the veil, but here in Hebrews chapter 9, it is mentioned that it is within the most holy place. So I had a question, why is it, has the author deliberately mentioned that way? Is there any importance? Thank you. Yes, thank you, Divya. Thank you so much for that question. So, Divya is asking about the position of the altar of incense, whether it is in the holy place or, you know, the most holy place. So why has the writer of the Hebrews included it here in the most holy place? Any of our faculty would like to answer that? The golden altar of incense, it stood at the veil before the holy of holies. So that is where it was placed. It was placed at the, you know, just stood at the veil before the holy of holies. I think in the, in the holy of holies was just the Ark of the Covenant. So if you look at various translations, I don't know which translation she's read. Maybe we can see various translations and see. This is NKJV. But this, the golden altar of incense is just placed at the, it stood at the veil before the holy of holies. It was used to burn incense. And I don't think it's, you know, in the holy of holies because the high priest would go only just once a year to make the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the whole is the right race. So, and he would make a sacrifice for himself first before he goes in. So, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. In Hebrews 9.4, it is not very clearly mentioned, at least in my version here in NKJV. It seems as though it has been mentioned. It is within the most holy place. Yes, you're right. Because even in the NIV, it says that behind the second curtain was a room called the most holy place which had the altar of incense. So, but actually it was placed there. Okay, I'm just, you know, I'm just guessing. Okay. This is not a, I wouldn't call this a Bible answer. So what I mean, what we are pointed out in this very good observation is that in the tabernacle of Moses, in the inner court, we had the table of the showbread, the altar of incense and the candlestick. And then in the most holy place that is behind the second curtain, there was just the Ark of the Covenant that was in the tabernacle of Moses. Whereas in Hebrews 9, as Divya is pointing out, you can see very clearly the right of Hebrews is talking about the altar of incense as being behind the second veil, which obviously means the most holy place. So, it seems to be a little contradiction because we know in the tabernacle of Moses, the instructions God gave him, the altar of incense was actually not in the most holy place, but it was in the inner court. So, whereas here he's positioning the golden sense as being in the most holy place. So, I don't know, you know, what the writer of Hebrews, why he was doing, I mean, why this discrepancy. But what I would like to say, I'm just taking a guess here, I'm not saying this is the right answer. But what we know is when Moses was instructed to build the sanctuary, he was instructed to build a copy of what was already there in the heavens. So that means the heavenly tabernacle was already in place. That means the way God had set up the heavenly, his throne room and his place or ship in the heavens was already there. And Moses was supposed to make a copy of that. So, and this is my part that when God gave the instructions to him, he intentionally positioned the altar of incense outside the most holy place. He placed it in the inner court and say, you put it there because everything has a meaning. It's telling us that, you know, this is how you do it, and it has a meaning. So the high priest would come on a regular basis, on a weekly basis. And I think actually multiple times a week into the inner court where he would, you know, trim, and that the candle stands, of course, gave light to what he was doing. He would replace the showbread and he would work on the altar of incense, make sure that the fire kept on burning. So it was something that he would do on an ongoing basis, telling us that these things, which is eating of the bread, when the showbread and the altar of incense is something that's always ongoing, you keep on doing it. But the high priest would only go into the most holy place once a year, right, by the Ark of the Covenant was. He would go there only once a year. Whereas this, the inner court where he would be doing these things was happening every week, not every day, but every week. Now he was engaging and there's something that is an ongoing thing. Whereas things have changed in the New Testament. For the New Testament believer, these three partitions no longer exist in the sense that we know that Christ has rented the veil. He's opened away and so everything has changed. And the New Testament believer can learn from the Old Testament tabernacle as giving some meaning. But the New Testament believer is encouraged to come boldly. We have the Hebrew stand in the next chapter. He says, we have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Meaning is like, hey, there's no more of these partitions and divisions. And unlike the Old Testament, they had only certain times where they can go into the most holy place. The New Testament believer just walks right in. So there's no longer is of any importance. And yet to the New Testament believer in Hebrew stand, he's saying, he's kind of drawing similarities. He says, wash your conscience, sprinkle your conscience from dead works, which is what they would do in the outer court when they would use the wash basin to wash themselves. So everything has changed. There are these partitions to no longer exist, which means that in heaven. Those partitions are not of any importance. Hebrews 5 says our hope goes right into the veil. So it means, you know, it's no longer there. Hebrews 10 is saying we come right into the holiest, most holy place. And yet he's drawing some comparison like he's saying, you know, you sprinkle your heart from an evil conscience. You enter in with a pure heart. So he's drawing some similarities. So I think, and this is only my guess that the reason Hebrews 9 is not really very specific. It's not really paying attention to where the altar, the golden sense of which is the ultimate sense, which represents the prayer of the saints, which we, you know, we see in Revelation 5. It's not so important anymore is because these partitions no longer exist, although we engage in the spiritual type of spiritual ministry that these things represent. So it is the believers always involved in what the ultra friends and symbolizes, which is the prayer of the saints. The believers always involved in what the wash basin represents, which is cleansing his heart of dead works. The believers always involved in the praise and altar, which is a sacrifice. He offers his body as a living sacrifice. He and he also offers up spiritual sacrifices. The believer is always involved in the table, the showbird, which represents the word of God, he partakes of the word of God. And the believer always is always in the most holy place, which is in a very presence of God, the very throne room of God, where the art, which is the other government. So for a believer, he's always engaging in all of these. So where these things are located really doesn't matter. And so the reason he was nine is positioning the golden sensor in the most holy places because the believers always involved in it. And it no longer matters to us. So that's why this is my guess. I'm not saying that we can prove it from scripture. But you know, when we look at Hebrews 5, 9, 10, where they talk about how the believer engages with the heavenly sanctuary. There is no longer these clear, clear set demarcations of out of court in a court most holy place. So that's why I think the altar of incense or the golden sensor is placed in the behind the wheel, because we enter there behind the wheel. This is my guess. You can take it or leave it. It's free. Sure. Buster. Thank you. Thank you. I was also thinking, is it also because the wheel has been torn? No. Yes. So for the believer, yeah, there's no more demarcation. There's no way it's been torn. You understand. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the question. Thank you, Buster, for explaining it so well to us. John Paul has a question. He says, can a believer invest in cryptocurrency? Okay, so anyone who is familiar with cryptocurrency, one of the faculty, if you could kindly answer John's question here. John, this is just my personal opinion. Again, this is not chapter inverse. This is not viable. So basically, you know, if you just go back to the very basic ideas, why do we invest? We invest to make our money grow. That means you're letting money do its work. You know, you make that money multiply money, and that's what it does. So whatever it was, we keep your money in the bank. Yeah, they may give you one, one or 2% in interest in a regular account. But you know, the reason they give interest is they're saying your money can grow if you keep it here. If you move to a fixed deposit, they say, okay, yeah, your money can make 5% to 6% interest if you keep it for a certain period of time. So again, they're encouraging money to grow, money is doing its own work without you doing any work. And that's another form of investment. If you put it into the stock market, the mutual funds there, they promise, you know, anywhere between 9% to 12%, 15%, 17%. And sometimes they may crazy people may say 30%, which usually never happens. But so again, there's an incentive there that is your money can grow by multiplying itself. If you invest, of course, there's all risk. There are different kinds of funds and the risk involved in different things. So they just saying, you know, if you if you are willing to take risk, well, you may get a higher return. It may multiply the higher rate, but it's a higher risk. So similarly, why do you buy property, why do you buy land? It's again, an investment that you put money into buy a property. And then the value of the property increases. And so the value of your money increases and then maybe, you know, five years, 10 years, 20 years, whatever you want to do, you could sell the property, whatever. So basically you're making money grow by letting money do its work. So every form of investment, whether you know, these things are under nowadays, there are so many other kinds of investments that are available. For instance, you can invest in commercial properties. And so, so many, so many kinds you can invest in in gold or, you know, precious metals or you can whatever so many different kinds of investments that are available today. So the answer cryptocurrency, the name sounds bad crypto, but it simply is another form of investment that another place where you could put money and expect money to grow. And because of that, maybe the last five, maybe 10, maybe more recently five years, because it seems to be, you know, you could get high returns, so on so forth. It's become a place of interest. So the answer question is it's entirely up to the believer where he or she wants to invest money. Basically, where do you want to put your money so that you can make your money grow. You can keep it in a regular bank account for one or two percent. You could move it in a fixed deposit for five or six percent. You could move it into the mutual funds for 11 or 12 percent or 15 percent. You could move it into bonds. You know, you're going at a different rate. All of these options are there. It's entirely up to you where you want to invest your money, depending on the risk and so on. I mean, the only thing we can see from the Bible is that Jesus encouraged us, you know, in Luke chapter 19, when he gave money to those, to each one of the three people. He said to one, he gave 10, 5, and 1. He told them to go and invest. I mean, he didn't use the word invest, but he told them to go and engage, you know, occupy till I come, multiply this, engage in the financial system and multiply what I've given you. So, you know, we could see that, that the Lord is interested in us. And for the one person who came back and said, Lord, I didn't do anything. He said, at least you should put my money in the bank. So, you know, got it back with interest, you know, that's how we rebuke that person. So, from the Lord's side, from God's side, yeah, he wants us to be good stewards with the finances. But where you invest is entirely up to, you know, the individual. And the only thing we should avoid is doing something that's wrong, unethical, illegal. But there's nothing, you know, necessarily wrong, unethical, with cryptocurrency, except that it is deregulated. It's not regulated by governments as opposed to the other forms of investment. So there's a higher risk. It's like a free market. There's nothing wrong with free market. People are just trying to create something that's open and accessible for everybody. So that's a huge difference. It's unregulated, whereas other forms of investment are regulated by governments. So there's a higher risk here, but they talk about higher returns. So the answer to your question is, you know, you're free to do whatever you feel. Okay. Sorry for that long lecture. Thank you, Pastor, and thank you, John. I think your question is answered. I can see your comment here on that. So we'll continue. We have, we still have some time. So if there are more questions, then please do ask them and our faculty is here to answer them for us. Pastor Nancy, did we raise the hand up? Yes. Okay. Is that a new question that you have? Thank you, Pastor Ina. No, sorry. I think it's my hand raised. Yeah, it is raised. Oh, sorry. No problem. Any other questions? Anything that's anything about, you know, personal lives, I walk with the Lord or anything that's going on around us. Yes, yes. Ami has a question for us. Ami, okay, she's posted on the chat. She says, Pastor, can you explain? Colossians 2, 17 through 23, focusing on verse 18 and then verse 23. Does it have anything to do with the length season? Okay. I'll quickly get this passage for us. Please give me a moment. Just looking it up. Okay. For some reason I'm stuck with the amplified version. It doesn't seem to change. So I'll just post it in the same version here. So that's versus 17 through 19, 23 from Colossians chapter 2. So this passage says such things are only a shadow of what is to come and they have only symbolic value, but the substance, the reality of what is foreshadowed belongs to Christ. Let no one defraud you of your price, your freedom in Christ and your salvation by insisting on more humility and the worship of angels going into detail about visions, the claims. He has seen to justify his authority, poked up in concede by his unspiritual mind and not holding fast to the head of the body, Jesus Christ, from whom the entire body supplied and lit together by its joints and ligaments grows with the growth that can come only from God. If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why as if you were still living in the world, do you submit to rules and regulations such as do not handle this, do not taste that, do not even touch. These things all perish with use in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men. These practices indeed have the appearance that popularly passes as that of wisdom in self-made religion and more humility and severe treatment of the body, but ascitism, but are of no value against sinful indulgence because they do not honour God. So Ami, your question with regard to, you said more specifically was 18 and 23. Okay, so basically what Ami is trying to say is that Mama, I just wanted to know, this is what we see in the length season. They abstain from eating certain foods. They go into repentance for a season and all this. Is it commanded in the Bible or because this passage, if you see it says that, I forgot to mention 16th verse, it says do not, so let no one judge you in food or in drink or regarding a festival or new moon or sabbaths. It starts with there and then it goes on to say that they are shadow of things to come. So I just wanted to know if there is any connection of length season with this passage or this is separate and length is a separate thing. So just wanted to know that. Okay. Yes, thank you Ami. So basically what Ami is asking is now that we have freedom in Christ Jesus, Paul is letting the collusion believers know that they must not get, they must not lose that freedom by entangling themselves in certain practices which are not really necessary for salvation. And also he goes on to explain the way he talks about certain practices that people held, but they again in no way really are required in our worship to God. So that is Ami's question and she asks whether the length, the practice of length is something that this passage is talking about. So if one of our faculty would like to answer Pasasalina, would you have any thoughts on this? Actually in verse 16 Paul is saying here that much of the ceremonies of the law of Moses consisted in distinction of meat and days. And it appears that those who keep those distinction, you know, it's not necessary now because crisis come, he's cancelled all the ceremonial law and we don't have to keep it. So Paul is writing and saying that that man not imposed these things upon you because God has not imposed them and that the life that is centered on Jesus and what he did on the cross has no place for legalism, you know, whether it's food, drink or special days or festivals. So that is what he's basically trying to tell them here and about the angels. There was this false teaching that was happening at the church at Colosse when they felt that being humble was a way of humility was actually, you know, worshiping of angels. But Paul is saying that it's not the worship of angels but worshiping Jesus and what he has completed on the cross. When it comes to thinking about, I mean, looking at this context and, you know, what it has to do with Lent. Yes, we don't have to celebrate this Lenten season but actually the church does, I think because it is a time when, you know, we can get people's attention to focus on the cross and what Jesus has basically done on the cross. So when Paul is writing in to the church at Colosse, he's saying don't have, celebrate these special days and, you know, and about how to fast and, you know, observance of food and other rituals and the kind of meat that you have to eat which is accordance to the law of Moses. But, you know, focus on what Christ has done in the finished work of the cross. So I think what the church is really doing during this Lenten season is, you know, they are focusing on the cross and what Jesus has done. So on various topics around the cross and drawing people's attention. So it's a good time of learning for people, especially the traditional church where topics like sanctification, redemption, justification is not taught or people don't know. It's a much detailed study that they do during these, the Ash Venice days and during the season of Lent. And also for people to give up certain things and, you know, just focus on the cross and what Jesus has done is also, in a way, a good thing because some of us also go into, you know, some people take a 20-day fast, 30-day fast or 40-day fast for themselves, just to seek the Lord, just to wait upon the Lord. And so in one way, yes, it's a good thing. But if you look at it in this context of what Paul is saying and to the church at Colosseis, don't, you know, hold on to the mosaic rituals. Like even Paul writes to the church at Ephesus, you know, because the, the Judaizers, those who are Jews, who are becoming Christians were bringing in this whole rituals, Old Testament rituals, Jewish fables, myths that they were teaching that were becoming, you know, like a false teaching that was happening. Also about, you know, a circumcision, they were saying that those who believe in Jesus, all of the Gentile believers have to be circumcised and it was, and Paul was saying, it is not necessary. So in that way, yes, there are certain rituals which we don't have to follow of the Old Testament law. But if you look at it, even what God had given them regarding food and all, it is basically for our own health, for our well-being, for our wholeness, the kind of meat we need to eat, the kind of food we need to eat. So we focus on those, you know, nutritional kind of aspects and we can still follow those mosaic laws. But, you know, observing days just like ritual, becoming a ritual is not something that this is going to help, but something that is going to really bring about repentance, focusing on the cross, what Jesus has done for us and can also, you know, get back people to, they walk with their Lord, with their time with their Lord and also, you know, that if they've gone back on their old ways to come back to the Lord. So it's a good time that we could see that in a positive way what Lent can do in the life of the church and the life of believers. Yes, yes, thank you so much. Thank you. I hope I answered. Sorry, Pastor Nancy, I hope I answered any question if anyone else wants to add in, they can add. Yeah, Avni, is that all right? I hope you got your answer. Yes, I think I got it. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you Pastor Selena and thank you Avni. We have another question here, because we don't have time. I think we would need to take this up in the next mentoring hour, which is next Thursday. So Paul, if you don't mind, you know, we will take up this question in the next mentoring hour. Is it right for married couples to have their conjugal rights when they are fasting? So we will begin with this question next week. Let's pray and close right now. I would like to request someone to please go ahead and pray, please. Pastor Selena, would you? Yeah. Father, we thank you for this day. We thank you, God, that we can learn so much from your word. Thank you for your word. That is true. That the truth sets us free. Thank you for the revelations that we receive from your word. Thank you Holy Spirit for teaching us, for guiding us. We just commit the rest of this day into your hands. We pray and thank you for each of our students. We bless them in your name, Father. We pray for your grace and your wisdom to be imparted even as they learn and even as they study. We pray for all of us as faculties, God, that you would enable us, strengthen us, give us your wisdom so that we can teach and use your word effectively, God, to minister to the lives of people that we are ministering to. We thank you for hearing our prayer. We give you all the glory and honor and praise. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Selena. Thank you, all faculty and students for joining in this morning's mentoring hour. God bless you. Have a wonderful day and we will meet again tomorrow for the supernatural hour at 8 a.m. So please do join in. Thank you and bye for now.
