 Good morning everyone. Welcome to this morning's Mentoring Hour. We'll pray and get started. I want to request one of us on the call to please go ahead and lead in prayer after which we will take some time to address questions that may be raised in today's session. So, Brother Sanjay, would you please be able to lead us in prayer today? Yes, Pastor. Heavenly Father, we once again thank you for this time of mentoring. We just pray, Father, that your Holy Spirit will minister to us and lead us through this session, Father. We also pray that whatever you learn, we'll be able to apply the same in our lives and be a blessing to others. We pray for a blessing upon our entire faculty and all the students here attending this session. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much. It's a great joy to welcome all our students and faculty in these sessions every week. As we all know, the Mentoring Hour sessions are interactive sessions where students can put forth questions from whatever they are learning. We have 48 subjects, courses that we run through three years. So, maybe questions from what we are learning or if there are questions from any other subject that you really wanted to learn more about. This is a time to ask those questions. Our faculty is on this call and faculty are on this call and we'll do our best to address those questions. And first of all, hope that each one of you is enjoying your time here at APC Bible College learning and hope it's been an enriching experience. So, if there are any questions, please feel free to ask. I know every week we generally have a subject that we focus on and the questions are invited in relation to that particular topic. But today we are making this a general session where questions can be asked from anywhere, any kind of questions pertaining to Christian life, pertaining to Christian ministry. So, the time is open for all of us. Please feel free. You can ask your questions either on chat or you could please unmute and ask the questions. Even as we wait for questions, we could take some time to just share from what we are learning or maybe the subject that is really impacting you in this season. So, if there's any particular, okay, I think Prat has a question, Prat. Yeah, could you please unmute and ask the question? Okay, good morning pastor. Good morning. I have a question. Yes. Reading from Ephesians 4 verse 11 pastor where the Bible says he gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers. These two ministry gifts, the pastor and the teacher, is there any difference between a pastor and a teacher or is it like pastor and teacher are the two in one, is it two in one gift or they are separate entities? Is there any difference between the calling of a pastor and the calling of a teacher? Thank you. Thank you, Prat. Thank you for that question. So, Prat is asking us if there is any difference between the office of the calling of a teacher and a pastor. So, just like to open this question out to faculty on the call. Prat, I'll share some thoughts. To put it very in a very simple way, a pastor has to be a teacher. But a teacher doesn't need to be a pastor. So, a teacher is a person who's really teaching the word, you know, and explaining the word. He doesn't need to pastor people. So, he's just teaching the word to people. So, typically these would be people who are moving from place to place, they're teaching, having a teaching ministry, they're teaching God's word. They don't need to pastor. Whereas a pastor is a shepherd, he's usually staying among a congregation, he's caring for the people. And he's caring for them holistically, that means in all areas of their spiritual growth and life and so on. But he also has to be a good teacher. And you find this in 1st Timothy chapter 3, where Paul says, if anyone wants to be a bishop, that is a spiritual overseer. And he gives all these things and one of the things is he should be apt to teach. So, part of that spiritual overseer role is he has to be able to teach the word. So, we can sum it up like that. A pastor has to be a teacher, but a teacher doesn't have to be a pastor. So, the pastoral responsibility includes a lot of other things, right? There's a lot of caring for the people, a lot of administration, organization. Which a person who's a teacher doesn't have those responsibilities, they just teach the word, they go from place to place. Now, they may have a big teaching ministry in that sense, then that becomes an organization and they may have lots of staff working and so on. So, example, if you want to think about this, I'm just picking some names as illustrations. You may think about Joyce Meyer. She's a teacher, she's not a pastor. She teaches, she has conferences, she writes books. She has a big organization, maybe several hundred people, but she's a teacher. Whereas, you can look at somebody else who's a pastor teacher, meaning they're pastoring a church, they have a congregation, but they're also good teachers of the world. Hope that helps. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, Pastor Ashish. Thank you, Prat, for that question. We'll take up Deeksha's question here in the chat. And in the meantime, I would like to encourage the others of us who do have questions to please go ahead. You may kindly post it in the chat and we will keep taking up the questions one by one. So, Deeksha says, Pastor, I want to ask one question. In Mark 11 was 13 and 14, why Jesus cursed the fig tree even though it was not the season for figs? So why did Jesus curse the fig tree even though it was not the season for figs? For one, I can think of the fact that he was, of course, teaching a lesson about faith and the power of the authority that words carried. But yes, why did he curse the fig tree when it wasn't the season for figs? So if any of our faculty would like to take that up, I'd just like to open it up. Hi, Pastor Ashish. Hi, Pastor Ashish. So at this particular fig tree, so it bears fruits twice a year, so to speak. And so once in its actual season and then then again during the month of March, I had to go back and study after the geography session on some of the trees. And so I learned that a fig tree also, you know, when they begin to blossom in March, month of March, along with the leaves, they also produce small figs, so to speak. And so although here in this context, Jesus is talking to the fig tree, but we know also in the Bible that from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Luke, that Israel is the nation of Israel, the people of Israel, like a symbol for a fig tree. And so Jesus in a way is talking to the people of Israel, saying you ought to bear fruit in every season. So, and that's, I think, my understanding of, you know, that he is talking to the tree, but then he's also addressing the nation of Israel in a way to bear fruit at every season, so to speak. That's my understanding of it. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Roshan, for sharing that additional insight. If there is any other insight, I want to request the faculty to please go ahead and share, why curse the fig tree when it's not the season for figs. Pastor Ashish, would you have any thoughts on this, please? I just agree, you know, the first part of what Roshan said, which is essentially just a teach, illustrate to his disciples, which was the main message he was getting across, was about faith and how the exercise went. Yeah, so he gave an illustration and then he gave the lesson, which is, here's how we exercise today. Sure. Sure, Pastor, thank you so much. And Ladik Shah, I hope you're happy with that answer. Hope your question is addressed. Thank you. Thank you for confirming. So, there are any questions, any burning questions. Now's the time to put it forward. Okay. So Prat has posted in the chat section, he says, Pastor, is it possible for one to have a dream and confirmation concerning a particular sister in church whom he is considering for marriage, but the sister gets married to another person. Okay, thank you Prat for that question. I want to request Pastor Jaykumar. Pastor Jaykumar, would you please be able to address Prat's question here? Sure Nancy, sorry. Yeah, just wanted to share that. Yeah, I think God speaks, God directs, and here it is a life partner spouse. And let's say God is giving a dream, but ultimately it is the will of the individual, you know, ultimately we choose, we decide, we make that choice. So yes, it's not automatic, because God gives, maybe suggests, okay, of course we are just assuming that is a real authentic case of a God is in the dream is speaking and he's suggesting, okay, this could be a person or this is the person, but then it involves the will of the person as well. You know, so the other person also has to be willing in order to be willing to decide and choose and pray and so on. So yes, it is possible whether the other person could make a choice different from whatever God is showing. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you for answering Prat's question. Prat, is that all right? Do you have any follow up questions to that? I'm okay with that, Pastor Jaykumar. You're okay with that. Okay, thank you. So while we wait for more questions on this call, I just thought we can take some time to share what we are learning. This is something that the Lord is ministering to our hearts in this season. Then you can also please feel free to share that. Okay, again, I think we'll ask Sam Mathews. Sam, is there anything that you're learning in this season? It could be from the subjects that we have here at Bible College or it could be outside, that's fine, but please feel free to share. Okay, it could be on the spot, but I know. No, I've just been listening to a lot of podcasts on leadership. So just been kind of reading and listening to what an effective leader looks like from different aspects. So yeah, I'm also looking at biblical examples of different leaders through different times and how they were leading people and just trying to make that my own in my own context. So that's really been very encouraging and also realizing that no leader is perfect so you can take the pressure off. Yeah, that's just something that I've been kind of thinking about a lot lately. Thank you, Sam. Thank you for sharing, even though it was so sudden, that question posed to you. But yeah, so nice to hear that you're reading more about leadership. That's wonderful. So we'll just wait for a moment for a question or two. Yes, brother Sanjay, please go ahead. Pastor, this is a bit of a controversial question which I'm about to ask. So on April 8th, there's a big event like we've all heard about a major eclipse taking place, a solar eclipse taking place over the United States and there's a lot of ambiguity about it. Some people are saying it's possibly a day of the rapture, some people are saying those don't believe in the rapture saying it's possibly, it's a major event is going to take place on earth. So, I mean, I guess anyone would like to throw some light on it? I did dig into it a little bit but I didn't go too deep into this matter. Is it significant to us as Christians? That's a question I wanted to ask. Thank you, thank you, brother Sanjay. So Sanjay is asking if the solar eclipse that is coming up is significant like in a spiritual sense to a believer, to Christians? And I just want to open out this question to our faculty. I honestly just found out about it from Sanjay just now. Sorry. So Sanjay will check very briefly. So there are natural events that keep on happening. And there are things in the Bible, for example, it says the sun will be darkens, the moon will be turned to blood reds. Now that's language used in scripture. Joel chapter 2, Acts 2, Revelation 8, Revelation, you know, so it's there. Now what usually happens, especially in the Christian church and I'm just speaking in general terms that something is happening like this, like a solar eclipse or in 2019, I think there was the blood moons. You know, so the moon would appear as blood reds. So when these things happen, or I think even in 2019, there was an alignment of the constellations with the stars coming in the shape of a woman giving birth to a man child, which kind of, you know, in Revelation 12, it talks about a woman with a man child, the sun, the moon, the stars. So what we have observed is that every time something like this happens, there's a certain part of the church and not the entire church. They all get excited. They say it is another apocalyptic event happening. And then this event comes and goes and life goes on. And we've seen it happen many times. And so this solar eclipse is just one or other thing like that where there's always this excitement in a certain part of the church, a certain segment of the church. Oh, this is another apocalyptic event. The sun is actually the eclipses passing through now the town of Nineveh and all of these things that create all these stories, so much hype. And some Christian authors will write books about blood moons, have best-selling books coming up, all the things that make a lot of money. And what we've seen time and time again is this comes and goes. So are these things happening? Yeah, it is natural cosmic events. Are these fulfillment of Bible prophecy as we talked about in Joel 2, Acts 2, Revelation 8, Revelation 12? No. Why? Because these Bible prophecies have a context. Joel 2 is fulfilled in Revelation 8, which is happening during the Great Tribulation. So the question we have to ask is, are we in the Great Tribulation? The answer is no. So it's not the fulfillment of that prophecy. Because there's a context to what Joel spoke about, what the book of Revelation talks about. Revelation talks about it in twice, about the sun being dark and the moon being turned to blood red, two judgments, two occasions. But when is it happening during the Great Tribulation, not outside of it? Or Revelation 12, what is that? It's not really talking about cosmic events. It's a picture of the sun, the moon, the seven, twelve stars. It's a picture of it. It's not talking about cosmic events. But there's a correct interpretation of Bible prophecy. If you look at the context, if you look at the great imagery. But when people take this out of context, they create a lot of hype. There's a lot of excitement in certain segments of the church. What we have seen as things come and go, life goes on as normal. So that's what I would say concerning this Solar Eclipse about to happen. Thank you, Pastor Ashish. Brother Sanjay, I hope that answers your question. Yes, thank you so much, Pastor. A lot of clarity in this. Thank you. Thank you. We have no questions in the chat here. Quite a lot of questions actually. So we'll just go to each one. Abdesh Kumar asks, can non-baptised people take Lord's supper in case he was unable to take baptism due to some problem? But he repented and accepted Jesus as his saviour. So can people who are not baptized partake of the Holy Communion? Pastor Jay Kumar, would you please be able to address Abdesh's question? I'm sure. I'm sure. So we see these two sacraments in the Word of God in the New Testament church about water baptism and the Holy Communion. Nowhere do we see explicit instruction that one has to be baptized in water in order to take part in communion. Yes, in the New Testament church, it was one package in the sense people believed they received the Lord and as a demonstration of the inward change, they would go ahead and be baptized to declare that they belong to Jesus, dead to sin, alive to God and so on. So it was one package and we know that over a period of time, it got kind of separated as two separate events. But we know that there's nothing to prevent us from taking part in communion, which is again a declaration of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord. So the Bible gives us the instruction that we need to examine ourselves and see if we are in the faith. And then if we are in the Lord, in the faith, we are acknowledging or we are doing it in a trivial manner, you know, in a manner that not revering what God has done. So that is the only instruction that we have, but nowhere do we see an explicit instruction that we need to be water baptized. But yes, we need to teach the church that water baptism is something that is an instruction from the Lord. It is for all believers to obey and walk in. And when we submit to that instruction, we walk in greater authority and experience the power of obeying and submitting to the Word. And all that is true. But this aspect of, you know, you have to be water baptized in order to take part in baptism. We don't see in Scripture. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, pastor. Brother Abdesh, I hope this addresses your question. Please let us know if it's all right or if you have any follow up questions to that. Yes, sister. Actually, we don't find any connection and Lord supper. There is no any connection. The first Lord supper is a gift to the disciples. So Romans 6-4 is saying that the baptism is that when we come out from the water, we alive with him. So the first disciple, 12th disciple, they took Lord supper, but they don't baptize like that only. So that is why. Okay. Lord supper and baptism. Brother Abdesh, but your question is addressed, right? Sorry? So the answer to the question. You've heard that. Is that okay? Yes, you are. Yes, yes, you are correct. All right. It was not clear can take or not. Okay. So pastor saying that one who is the person, the person is accepting accepting the Jesus as his savior and he also believed everything he want to take baptism. But there is some problem to take baptism like there is no water. There is some persecution. So in case can he can he participate the Lord supper? Yes. Correct. So brother Abdesh, as pastor Jai Kumar answered it, he said yes. A person who is not baptized because of some particular reason can take communion. Thank you. Thank you so much. So we'll move on to the next question here from Shiv Kumar S. So pastor believer is not succeeding in any of the job. Wherever he joins, he will have one or the other problem and end up leaving that job. Why is it and how to go forward? Pastor Ocean, any thoughts on this? Really, I'm not sure how to answer the question. No problem. Thank you, Pastor Ocean. I'll just open it out to our other faculty here. So believer is not succeeding in any job. Yes. And this is a few thoughts and I'm sure others will have something to say. One is that we must be confident that God wants us to be successful. God is for us to be successful. Someone says that as His people, as we meditate in His Word and follow Him, we will be fruitful. We will bring forth our fruit in its season. So God's will is for us to be successful. Psalm 35, 27. Let them shout for joy that they were my righteous cross. The Lord delights in the prosperity or in the success of this service. So God delights in our prosperity, in our success. So we are confident of that. So the question is why is somebody not being successful? It could be many reasons and so we need to look at the reasons. From a spiritual perspective, we know God wants us to be fruitful and successful. The reasons could be many and we need to examine that. One could be maybe the person needs to improve their skills, learn some skills. Maybe the person needs to find the right kind of job. Maybe they're in a job where they're not really meant to be there. So that's why they're not really seeing good outcomes. They need to be in the right place. Sometimes it could be an attitude problem, how they work. Sometimes it could be a people relational problem, how they relate to other people. Because to be successful in a job, in a role, some roles, they require that you need to work with others. So maybe their relational skills are not great. They need to learn how to do that. The answer to your question is we need to find out. First, we need to convince God wants the person to be fruitful, successful, no doubt. Second, find out where are the gaps? Where are they lacking? And address those. And if you put the right person in the right place with God's help and them doing their part, they will definitely be successful. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding Shiv Kumar's question. Shiv Kumar, did that address your question completely? Please let us know. Okay, he says, thank you, Pastor. We'll take up the questions in the chat first and we saw a hand raised. So if you have sufficient time, we will come back to you. The next question here in the chat is from Prince. Good morning. In the Old Testament, the priest and the people accepted that the lamb as an offering that cleanses them and they sacrificed it. But we know Jesus was rejected, right? Then how can he be the sacrifice or offering that cleanses us? So Prince's question is in the Old Testament. The offering of a lamb was people accepted that lamb and then the offering was made and so there's acceptance there. But we know that Jesus was rejected. So how can he be the sacrifice or offering that cleanses us? Yeah, I think the response is very simple. First, God has accepted Prince's offering. Isaiah 53 verse 12, he shall see the suffering of his soul and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many. So first, God has accepted this offering. Second, for us to be cleansed, God is inviting each one of us to accept. So the answer is we have to accept each one of us that I receive personally what Jesus did on the cross. Then when we accept, we experience the cleanser. So even in the New Testament, we have to accept, then we will experience the cleanser. Thank you, Pastor Prince. I hope it has addressed your question. Please let us know if you have any follow up questions to that. I think we'll just move forward with the next question. And Prince, if you have anything more to ask, you can always let us know. Going to Lucy, Samuel, she says, during my course at APC, I've been strengthened in my spiritual life, knowing more of God, who is all powerful, experiencing conviction to correct myself, learning scriptures to understand my positional truth in heavenly places, to speak with authority and also made an effort to share for 30 minutes on praise and worship, which was an impossible act in my life. Thank you for sharing, Lucy. We truly rejoice with you in what God is doing in your life. Glad to know that you are being enriched in every way and also that you had this opportunity to share the word of God. God bless you. We'll go on to Pratt's question in the chat here. He says, Pastor, could you please throw some light between the church and the kingdom? The church and the kingdom. I think I'll go ahead and request Pastor Jaykumar to please answer Pratt's question. Sure, Nancy. Thank you. The church and the kingdom, we know by definition that church is the ecclesia, the gathering of the people sent out once, people gathering together for a purpose. And we also know that the church, as we see it, the local church is an expression of the ministry of the authority of Christ in a particular place. And we know that we also have a local church and the global church. So it is the people who are the hands and feet and carrying the anointing and the power of the Lord and expressing the love and expressing their administering in that place as the Lord would. So of course there are many other aspects of the church being the living stones put together to offer a spiritual sacrifice and so on. And kingdom by definition is the domain of the king, the rule and reign of the king. Well, so we know that when we say, Lord, your kingdom come, you will be done talking about the rule and reign of the king, of the law, of God, individually in our lives and also corporately together as a church. So by definition, this is something that we see. Also, we know that as part of the local church, we know that God has a specific plan and purpose and vision for that body of believers. And at the same time, we also need to understand that yes, there are different local churches, but we are also part of the kingdom of God and all these local churches are part of the kingdom of God. So we, as we've been learning, we need to have that kingdom mindset and kingdom values in order to bring forth kingdom purposes. Yeah, I hope that helps Brad. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Jekumar. Thank you, Brad. Brad, I think Pastor Jekumar has addressed the connected questions as well. I know I didn't read it out. Correct. Yes, so for the sake of all of us, I'll just quickly read out those connected portions. So, Brad had written, firstly, he had asked through some light about church and the kingdom. Then he said, there are so many churches and Christian ministries with various teachings and revelations, especially in Africa, how can one live a life rooted in the kingdom of God? And Pastor Jekumar has addressed that for us. I'll now request, Asapu, I saw your hand raised. Could you please go ahead and ask your question? Then we'll come back to the others who have posted and also want to ask. Can you hear me, ma'am? Yes, we can hear you. It's a follow-up question from the previous question that I have asked. Okay, yes. The question is like, in the Old Testament, we see it's the priest who takes a lamb and make a sacrifice. But we see that Jesus was not sacrificed, but priests and Pharisees, they rejected and gave him to the Romans to be crucified. So, it's like a murder. So, will it, how come it can come into the category of sacrifice? Because it's not the priests who are doing it, right? So, that's my question. All right. Yes, Asapu. Yes, Pastor Jekumar. So, just quick answer. The book of Hebrews, chapters 8, 9, 10. Bring this out. Actually, from chapter 7 itself. So, in the book of Hebrews, we see that Jesus is the high priest. And Jesus takes his own blood into the very presence of God, into the tabernacle. So, in Christ's death, his physical death, yes, when you look at what happened, seems like a murder. The Romans nailed him to the cross. But on the spiritual side, the high priest, the great high priest, Jesus, took his blood, the blood of the spotless Lamb of God, and offered it before the throne of the Father. Hebrews 9, 12 to 14. He entered in the holiest with his own blood, not with the blood of lambs, bulls and goats, but with his own blood, he entered into the holy place. So, Jesus is the perfect. What we see in the tabernacle is only a copy. Thank you, Pastor. And Prince, I hope that it addresses your question. Thank you. Thank you for confirming. We'll go back to the chat here. And Radha Videsh writes, thanks so much to answer the question. I like APC, believe in doctrines and like to read the books written by you. It's very useful for my ministry. Thank you for sharing Radha Videsh. And Rupa has a scripture here. I think it's connected to what we had spoken about the fig tree earlier. She says, I found the scripture from Hosea 910 says, I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first fruits of the fig tree in its first season. So, Rupa, I'm thinking that this is connected to the earlier discussion that we had. But I'll right now come to Jeffina's question. She says, Pastor, if a person takes part in the communion in an unworthy manner, is it a sin? We see a reference to that in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 27 to 29. To not partake of the holy communion in an unworthy manner. So, if one does so, is that a sin? That's Jeffina's question. I think I will request Pastor Ashish to kindly address this question, Pastor. Yeah, the Bible does say that, you know, we read in 1 Corinthians 11, we have to judge ourselves. So, we will not be judged. And if you don't, you will be condemned. And the answer to the question is yes, it is sin. That's why there are instructions on how to do it. And we should not do it. And the consequence of one of the things that Paul says there is that they become sick. They die early. These are the things that Paul mentions right there because of not participating in a worthy manner, which would have brought the blessing of good health and long life. Because they were doing it unworthily, they were seeing the results of it, which was sickness and early death. So, the answer to your question is yes. And that's why there is instruction on how to do it right. Thank you, Pastor. And Jeffina, I hope that answers your question. Please let us know. Good morning, Pastor. Yes, yes, please go ahead. Yeah, so what do we mean exactly when we tell it's an unworthy manner? We know in that context that they were all coming for the sake of food, just to eat and all this. But in our time and in this generation, what do we exactly mean as an unworthy manner? I'm asking this because I saw once someone like in a teenage, a teenage girl who took the Communion and someone pointed out to her what she has been doing throughout the week. And she said, like, you're not taking it in a worthy manner. You're not respecting. You're not following Christ in your life and you're still taking part in the Lord's table. So exactly what do we mean when we say as an unworthy manner? How do we examine ourselves, whether we are taking it in a worthy manner or in an unworthy manner? Thank you, Jeffina. Thank you for that question. Okay. Yes, Pastor, please go. Yeah. So Jeffina, the same passage tells us how to take it in a worthy manner. Firstly, just examine yourself. So very simple. I say, Lord, I'm judging myself, right? The context there. If you judge ourselves, we will not be judged. So to examine myself means I judge myself. So being honest about it, does any sin? I confess if I'm not living right, I can. Now, it's not to self-condemn, but it is to be honest with God. So that's first one. Examine yourself or judge yourself. Second, it says discern the Lord's body. If you discern the Lord's body means understand what Jesus did for us through his body on the tree. As I say, Lord, I understand. I discern. I see. I discern. I'm seeing, understanding, perceiving. I discern. I understand that you bore my sins. That's why I'm forgiven. So when I examine myself, if I find that I've committed 10,000 sins last week, doesn't matter. The next step is I understand that Jesus paid for all those 10,000 sins. I'm forgiven. I receive the cleansing and I take part. So just because I have a 10,000 sins last week doesn't mean I should not take part. I just follow these two simple steps. I examine. I discern. Part of discerning is I receive cleansing for my 10,000 sins. And then I'm worthy to take part. And for somebody to point finger at someone else and say you are not fit, that's wrong. Because in Paul's instruction, he's not saying examine your neighbor. He's saying examine yourself. He's not saying judge your neighbor. He's saying judge yourself. So they're not following the instructions. In fact, I would say the person who was pointing out to the other person saying you're not fit to take that person is not following instructions. The instructions are examine and judge yourself. Two simple instructions. Second, discern the Lord's body. Understand what he finished for us on the cross and receive it. Then protect. So I receive it by faith. Then when I eat the bread and drink the cup, I am acting out my reception when I discern the Lord's body. It's very simple. Thank you, Pastor. Jafina, I hope that has answered your question. Thank you. Thank you for confirming. And as Roshan connected to what we are discussing right now has mentioned that the house of God ABC publication carries a chapter on the sacraments chapter 19. That is also something you might want to refer to. There are three more questions. I am not too sure if we can accommodate them on this call. So we'll address Lucy's question briefly. And if you don't mind coffee and Rupa or Rupas, we will take up your questions in the next mentoring hour. So Lucy is asking how do I have a check on meditating God's Word in daily life, which I'm not able to practice regularly. So a few thoughts, Lucy. Firstly, to set aside time to do it, because if that is important to us, then we need to determine. We need to make up our minds and set aside time to do it. And also, you know, have the Bible and some other helpful resources that can help us meditate on God's Word. In addition to this, you know, thanks to technology these days, we can listen to God's Word, even as we are traveling. So there are there are ample resources that we can access because of technology to also keep doing that throughout the day. And that would help us to meditate on God's Word because meditation of God. So what what is it, you know, as we know that Greek word, it simply means to to matter to to repeat to yourself to to let that word soak into us. And the more we expose ourselves to that word and spend time in the word, we will be able to, you know, take it in and also see the fruit of the power of that word. So I hope that helps you please let us know. And with this, we will wrap up this morning's mentoring our session. We'll take up coffee and Rupas' question in the next mentoring hour. So as we conclude, let's wrap up with the word of prayer. I want to request one of us on the call to please go ahead and pray please. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this hour of mentoring. Lord, we thank you for all the questions and the answers. Further for the light which you've shed. We thank you further for even our instructors. Thank you for the pastors. Lord, we ask that you continue to grant more grace and wisdom. Further, we give you all the honor and all the glory. We ask all this in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen. Amen. Thank you, Prat. Thank you, everyone, all faculty and students. God bless you. Have a wonderful day. Bye for now.
