 It's October welcome to the teens cornerstone connection lesson this month. We begin a new quarter with the theme reality Bible With Shawnee on the mission story Amy on the violin Joyce appealing to the deaf community Steve Seth Misati and her wonderful teachers as our panelists enjoy My name is Shawnee. I'm gonna be reading the mission story and our story comes from Cameroon about an 11 year A small young girl named Immanuel Ten-year-old Immanuel was sound asleep in bed in the African country of Cameroon But the dream was like real life in the dream Immanuel saw a woman speaking with men with long knives Go the woman said to them Then she spoke directly to Immanuel I'm sending my sons to get you said Immanuel saw the man coming toward her. She felt a sharp pain Then she woke up. She was scared and crying while she couldn't see anything in the dark bedroom She could still hear the voice of the woman. I'll send my sons to get you. I will send my sons to get you Immanuel struggled to breathe but suddenly mother and father were standing over her bed They had her sobbing in the next room while sleeping and they dropped on their knees beside their bed Our Lord our God give you glory because you have allowed us to have this child mother prayed Now we are presenting her to you We pray that the enemy will be sent far away from her and that she will be restored in the name of Jesus. We pray amen When mother finished praying Immanuel could breathe again her tears stopped and she no longer felt afraid Immanuel told her parents about the scary dream. She thanked mother for praying. I know that God will answer your prayer She said After her parents left Immanuel prayed silently. She had learned to pray when she was little But she had been so scared that she had forgotten to pray Lord, I want you to help me. She prayed. I pray that she confused those who want to destroy me Fight for me forever and ever amen Then she fell asleep But the next night she had the same dream again again. She saw the woman And she felt a pain. She woke up scared and crying. She couldn't breathe. Mother and father rushed to the bedroom Mother prayed Immanuel could breathe The dream repeated the next night and the next she had the same dream every night for two weeks Immanuel became scared to go to bed at night. Mother didn't know what to do So she went to the church pastor when the church pastor heard about the dreams He organized the special time of prayer for Immanuel He and several church elders came to Immanuel's home and prayed for her It was then that the bedroom the bad dream stopped Sorry Immanuel doesn't understand why she kept having bad dreams after she prayed She didn't understand why she she didn't understand why She did the bad dream stopped after the pastor and elders prayed But she does understand that God had all their prayers and that there's something special about the intercessory prayer And people are praying for someone else A year has passed since the bad dream and Immanuel is no longer afraid of going to bed I have the assurance that any time I call upon the name of the Lord We will be there to answer me The Immanuel says we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and he helps us Part of this quarter's 13th Sabbath offering will help open a seventh day Adventist school in Cameroon Where children will be able to learn about God who takes away bad dreams.

Good morning From wherever you're watching my name is Seth Ruben Mokaya and I'm Happy to be here. I am Miss Satinyamvane and I'd love to welcome you for another banger Hello, everyone, my name is Steve and I'm so happy to be here with us today Great. Great.

Amen ladies and gentlemen. We have a wonderful lesson and turn it around turn it around and Just to start us off. We're going to start off with a question Just to find out what you think what you think and I and I want to involve my co-panelist here Have you ever done something or have you ever made a decision and you think that there are no consequences? Or you think that you know the consequences here if they're any they'll be very minimal, you know, or maybe they'll be delayed You know, or you've done something and immediately you know The consequences are immediate. I don't know What we do get say would you would you would you tell us some of the decisions that you have made perhaps? Where you think that you know the the consequences are either delayed immediate or no consequences at all I don't mean I'd say like one particular thing is like when I never used to have like a Consistence sleeping schedule to be delayed, but then when the consensus is here to the heat heart You got the money. I'm like, huh? Is it morning? Yeah, what's happening? Yeah, that sort of thing. Yeah Yeah, a lot of times we think that you know, especially when you're young you think that you can stay awake forever You know, and there will be no consequences, but it's actually cut it up with you, right? All right, what would you guess like? Okay, my name is a funny one When you forget to pray for your food Ah So even the process of eating Yeah, yeah, you say are they are there any consequences for not praying for your food? I think a thing would be Okay, I'm wondering with would they actually be a consequence. It's not like you're going to get bad gas because Yeah I mean because if the food is Maybe God can like cleanse the food or whatever Yeah I think the thing is if you do forget to say the grace at the end say thank you Jesus Please bless the food as it sits in my stomach. Yeah Oh, you know for the next minute like I never pray for the previous means well Thank you God for the food that just digested in the one I'm about to digest. Yeah Yeah, so, you know and and the reason why I asked this question is because in the lesson that we are trying to learn today You know, there are times that we do things and we think that they there wouldn't be any consequences You know, there are times that we do things and we think hmm. Well It's going to be all right. Anyway, we can just keep over, you know But that's not the case. That's not the case as we're going to see in the story And I just want to invite me sat just to take us briefly through the story And we so we can see if there are consequences to the actions that were purported here in yeah And the story starts out with the Israelites in the Philistines such an interesting wrangle now the philly the Israelites Yes, I read a benesah the Philistines Are at affect now they go to war and I wonder why they went to war with the Ark of the Covenant Anyway, they went to war with it interestingly enough. They probably thought it there would be any Exactly So they went to war with it an odd habit honestly, so I went to war with the Ark of the Covenant Then during the war the Israelites were soundly beaten as 30,000 men were killed Now there is the Philistines took possession of the Ark and then they now placed it in the temple of Dagon I think Dagon was some fish god. Mm-hmm. Look like a fish or a mummy or a man or something Look like a mom and that's sort of thing so they placed The Ark of the Covenant with Dagon Just let me stop you right there. Do you think that that might be where the legend of mom is come from? It's a possibility But for Dagon for Dagon, I think the fish was on top and then the bottom was a man or something like that Yeah, I remember reading it was that the top was a man the bottom was a fish the bottom just like a mermaid I think in this case, it's a man. It's a mama man. Yeah, a mama. Yeah If I was to correct you on something When you talked about the easterly it's going to work with the Ark of the Covenant first of all They had in Govni with it that going without consulting God Ah, then they realized they were losing the battle. So eventually they they sent someone to come for the Ark of the Covenant With the Ark of the Covenant and when it arrived remember those are great shout These times are scared. They thought they were going to win now They thought they were going to win because they Yeah, they viewed the Ark like God like a good. Okay. Yeah, and now when they went to war Of course, as you said, they were soundly and soundly 30,000 men dead Yeah, and right there they placed Dagon and the Ark in the same place Then overnight they wake up in the morning and they find that Dagon's arms have been broken And then it's just like only his body has remained and he's lying on the floor and they're like What's happening? And I think they were even scared at age Like this God of this Israelites, he never saved them in war. He enabled them as this broke our God So they're like let's place this God and the interesting thing is that God struck these people with tumors Oh my goodness, I've done with tumors and for them They had this belief that if you have an illness and you make a model of the illness The illness goes away. So they actually had made gold tumors and gold rats So they placed the Ark of the Covenant with gold tumors and gold rats and then sent it on its way Now towards the border of Beth Shemesh Now at the border of Beth Shemesh There were people there who were curious because you just see some you see a golden looking Ark with some rats and some tumors beside it And then you're like, okay, let me go peep. So they go peep like this and they're like I Like 70 people who are just struck dead right then then because of their sort of curiosity So to speak and that's that sounds it seems cruel, but it's like I never knew any better, but You're dead. Mm-hmm. Okay. That's the thing. So then the Israelites do get their Covenant back They are back and once they get it back. They're like Some well, please so we are ready to go back to to God and so what does someone do someone decides to set up a memorial between Shen and name and Name it a benesah this far the Lord has brought us That is and from then on the Israelites are deep the Israelites overcame and the Philistines were defeated Wow, wow, what a story and you tell it so well And and here we have so much going on we have so much going on so maybe we can just break it down a little bit So you've told us about the God Dagon and the the the Ark of the Covenant there And I just wanted to ask you what is the significance? What's the meaning now that you know, you told us that, you know The heart broken What was actually going on there? Yeah, I Think it just shows it just clearly displays The power of God that God is saying there is no other God like me Yeah, that is and in essence what we could see is like Dagon was this some weird demon like entity somewhere Made that look like rathom. Maybe assume that form I think God showed that even in the hands of Pagan's He still shows his power. He's still God. He's still good You know and so and so you know the the Philistines as you rightly put it The Philistines had put the Ark of the Covenant and their God side by side, you know And they were saying oh, you know and because Tagu Dagon I was looking upon the Ark of the Covenant And if you remember how the Ark of the Covenant was structured in the book of Deutronomy and Exodus You remember there was the two angels and then there was the most holy place there in the middle You know and so now Dagon was looking at it and in the morning when they come They find that it's on its face and the hands have been broken, you know, and they wonder what's going on You know, they can't really tell Another aspect of the story that you brought up Steve was, you know How the Israelites related to the books or rather to the Ark of the Covenant? How did they relate to the books because at this time I don't know if it represented God To them as much as it should have Maybe you can comment about that and then we said you can come in. Yeah, I believe they viewed it as more of a God was mostly Because that the God had taken its presence from them You see and first of all, they didn't go into the world without consulting God So that was already a bad thing to do. You see they're not consulted God or something Yeah, and then they saw that they were being beaten. Yeah, they thought that the Ark could help them get rescued Win the war against the Philistines. Yeah, and so you find that They viewed it as more of a God Yeah, as like the ark is what will save them. Yeah, and not God rather than being God himself Yeah, the person will save them from Yeah, yeah, it reminds me of the verse that says, you know, I am the Lord God and my glory I shall not give to another very true very true Now the last part that you brought out of the story is Samuel, you know and sort of asking for the turnaround and I just like to refer Set set if you could read for us the book of first Samuel chapter 7 verse 3 And this is really our key text actually for this week the book of first Samuel chapter 7 and verse 3 correct First Samuel chapter 7 was 3 it says and some will speak Spoke unto unto all the house of Israel saying if he Didn't return unto the Lord with all your hearts then put away the strange gods and astronaut as short Asteroid from among you prepare your hearts and Hearts and to the Lord and save him only serve him only He will deliver you out of the hand of the Israel's so Philistines so what I get from this Key text is that remember the Philistines had an affair with the Israelites and before that I Guess where this part where God says that The Philistines had a mighty God and that God was actually an idol that God with small G and We are specifically told that we should not bow down to any other gods but him Yet the Phoebe Steins decided to create God That's the God of the God the God called the Dagon That he will he will actually answer their prayers their prayers and it was not Actually true that Dagon actually answered their prayers. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Seth But before we actually interrogate that something I just come to mind from out of the story Sorry that we did not cover it and it's the people of Beth Shemesh that you actually told us and looking into the looking into the The chest you know, I think you draw about I did very well. You know the chest comes and they keep Maybe but you can just illustrate that and I think the thing is it just seems it just is like I think that's like Who's that was I like was like yeah, I keep going then like Rectifies itself and just drops dead to the ground. Yeah, I think these people were curious Yeah, because I think they had had some legends like Oh Aaron's run that budded. Yeah, they Did the 10 code the town the 10 commandment commandment? Then they see like the pot of manna pot of manna. Hey, even I would want to see that would never go back And I would want to see manna. Yeah, I think I think is when they regarded it as something like Secular come on. Yeah, it's like age like it's like when you see if it's not something you're used to Like I think it's like what when you hear Oh a certain musician is coming in like age I want to see yeah, and you're around. Yeah, if there's like They say there's a football match and you know, you can't get in. Yeah, an opportunity like a small peak They're like, yes, I must Taking it right now she's getting at us. Yeah. Yeah. There was track. Yeah, if I might even wait Also, go ahead. Like you've talked about the case of loser for him It was more of trying to save the Arc of the Covenant, but I was unfairly struck down You are my side. Yeah, but for a case of the easterly, you know They've lost the arc of the coin and sad. Oh, no, then it shows up, right? Or of nowhere with bulls, right? So everyone is excited. Even if they then, you know You always have this one friend who loves taking risks. Yeah, you say, let's let's let's let's let's try it and see You know, let's see what you say there. What's the worst that could happen, you know? Yeah, no Yeah, I was struck. I thought it was struck. Yeah, but I think I think the key thing to distinguish is that although it was not God God it was a holy object, right? And God took it seriously when you tried to profane it You know even Uza, you know even Uza, he had been instructed. They had been instructed for a very long time I know you said, you know, probably you see that it might be a little bit unfair You know, it was toppling over and David gets very scared and that's in a later chapter But then you know he here, you know here you see that that these guys are actually Joking they're actually playing with an object which God has said is holy, you know And I think the thing is the Bible is not very descriptive Yeah, I mean for just like to subject it to our human where we would behave. Yeah It's like you're just seeing Let's let's what good example can there be or let's say for example, yeah It's like the arc comes with an open cabriolet or an open sports car, so to speak Yeah, and it's just cruising around town slowly. Yeah, you can actually see the arcs. It's just cruising around town So you're like, hey, what's this? Yeah, but they could this yeah, so then they decide to make it a show So like a freak show. Yeah, he's a box that has rats. Yeah Wow You know the way I saw it it's sort of like human mischief. It's just you being mischievous You know, it's you playing really with the things of God. Yeah, go ahead. Interestingly if you look at the Into the story. Yeah, the vast it's a there's a vast it's a but God struck down So the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh put in 70 of them to death because they looked into the Ark of the Lord Now if you think about it 70 people looking into a box Like it just seems have you You know, you know, I actually re-donate with this one, you know, have you ever noticed that whenever you're with your friends You're just a little bit more rowdy, you know, whenever you're alone you wouldn't do those things, you know You'd have a bit more respect, but no you're 70 people and you're thinking Because 70 of them look yeah, they look and they got struck see some of other people would have noticed Yeah, you know, it's you know, it's in the vast that you read actually it follows, you know The people mourned because of the heavy blow that the Lord had, you know So when those 70 people died you can imagine if you know it I'm thinking about it like a traditional village You know, probably your brother would be there. Your sister would be there. They went they looked and You know, they were there was struck. So now you have a mass funeral in Beth Shemesh just for that little thing Yeah, but now let's move on to to the key text that Seth read very well and even he elaborated on it And it's really the essence of our lesson today and it's that Once all these things that happened, you know, they had been fighting for over 20 years They have been fighting with the Philistines previously. They had judges, you know They had Ellie's bad sons, you know, they've just been in a turmoil tumultuous, you know sort of environment You know and now Samuel has finally come of age In fact, this is that maybe the third page of first Samuel now He has come of age and you know, the Israelites are experiencing a sort of revival There's a there's a revival in it, you know, and just as the text said, I'll just read it again Although Seth had read it earlier He says so someone said to all Israelites to all the Israelites If you are returning to the Lord with all your hearts, then read yourselves of the foreign gods They're asteroids, you know and commit yourselves to the Lord and serve him only and he will deliver you out of the hand Of the Philistines, right? And so they have just witnessed this great miraculous victory The Ark has been brought back, you know, there's this peace for over 20 years And now Samuel comes up and he's saying if you guys If you guys have really decided to follow God Then remove all the other foreign gods, all the other false gods and serve him and he will deliver you even farther Having said that, I just want to bring in Steve on the flashlight And just what the Spirit of prophecy said about this Okay, if I can read it from the flashlight It says, there is no, there's need today of such a revival of true heart religion as was experienced by ancient Israel Repentance is the first step that must be taken by all who return to God No one can do this work for another We must individually humble our souls before God and put away our idols When you have done all that we can do, the Lord will manifest to us his salvation Very true, and this is really just, you know, telling us that, you know We ought to individually humble ourselves there And really just as Samuel was saying, just to turn back from our sins as it were Before we read the punchline, just let's get a little bit of insight on the discussion that we're having prior From the did you know part, Mr. Atif, you could just read the did you know About the Ark of the Covenant and what it was So this Ark of the Covenant was a sacred box that God had told Moses to build It was made of wood, Kezia wood, specific, and covered in gold On the top of the box, such two gold-covered angels with their wings raised, facing each other God's glory and presence dwelled between the angels God was very particular about the Ark of the Covenant It was housed in the most holy place No one was to look at it except the High Priest once a year When he traveled, it had to be wrapped in a veil Bunger skin, and a blue cloth to keep it hidden from human eyes To keep it hidden from human eyes So you can just imagine the transgression of these guys from Beth Shemesh To actually open and look at it I don't know if they succeeded The Bible doesn't say if they succeeded, you know They said, you know, it said looked into the Ark You know, they just, I don't know if they succeeded in looking into it But you know, you can just see how important it was So right now I just want to bring in Seth once again Just with some of the punchlines And just in relation to this story Seth, if you could read, and maybe we can do it all together If you could read for us the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 10 It's right at the top in the lesson 2 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 10 Go right ahead Okay, 2 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 10 It says, Repentance that leads to salvation and lives On not reject to, but wordly sorrow brings death What I get from here is Let's say if you have rejected most of your friends who do drugs And such stuff that you're not supposed to take at our young age Even if, you know, even if you're in that age of taking that drug Of which it's supposed to, like let me take alcohol as an example When they advertise alcohol, they usually say that alcohol Not suitable for the children under the age of 18 I think it's not right to take alcohol at that age Because it will affect your body And eventually you can die because of taking alcohol or smoking Because smoking, it really affects a part of your lungs And if your lungs block all of a sudden, you would be able to breathe And by the time you call for help, you're already halfway dead Gory, you're already halfway dead That is like the effects of smoking a lot of weeds as an example Because weed is most popular used all over the world I get what you're saying, I'm going to bring you a little bit back But this is a very good verse that you've read actually It says, Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret But worldly sorrow brings death And so here in the story and the key text that we've just read What someone is asking the children of Israel to do really Is to repent and to return to God And this verse particularly tells us that such repentance brings about salvation It actually will save you And it has no regret You won't even regret it You won't even be like, oh no I shouldn't have It brings about salvation But we're told that worldly sorrow brings about death And I don't know, I've had quite a few friends I had, at least I can think of one friend who committed suicide And that's just a good example of worldly sorrow that leads to death All right This verse has reminded me of something I read in the Spirit of Prophecy It was about, I'm mainly going to focus on the bodily sorrow part When the Israelites, when the Ark of Covenant returned And the Israelites realized what they had done They wanted to go back to God, you see And so through the help of some more they were able to repent And they were able to go back to God and they were restored, you see And this is an example of Godly sorrow because they realized the sin of their error They realized the sin of their ways And thus it brought them back to God the way the verse clearly states Very true, very true, I think you've said it very well Misati, perhaps if you could read for us Isaiah chapter 1 verse 18, Isaiah chapter 1 verse 18 Come, now let us settle the matter, says the Lord Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow Though they are red as crimson, they shall be as wood Thank you very much And before I invite you just to comment on that verse You know, it's saying that really, you know, God is looking for us to repent He's actually, it's an invitation, it's an open invitation for us to repent And he says, you know, though your sins are like scarlet You know, though you might have done, they aren't thinkable Though you might have done, they aren't thinkable You know, he's willing to forgive Perhaps maybe what have you gotten from the verse yourself I think the thing would be like Guys saying, come now, let us, not let him As he says, like, let us reason Let us logically think this through That you may be doing this You may desire to do this But now the question is, like, let's see Is what I'm offering you better than what you are trying to offer yourself So that your sins, what you're trying to do Though they may be as scarlet Though they are tainted in pure and mud Like, I can do something better I can do one better than what you can do Amen, amen, and that's so true Steve, if you could read for us the book of 2nd Chronicles, chapter 7, verse 14 It's the very last verse there It's just that if my people who are called by my name Will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from the wicked ways Then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land Yes, and you know, just before I invite you as well, just to comment on that You know, this is an open invitation You know, God is saying that he will hear from heaven You know, he's listening, he's listening He will hear from heaven and he'll forgive their sin And he will heal their land I don't know what stands out to you from that verse Well, what stands out to me is the aspect of humility But to go before God we need to reduce as man We need to lower our ego And we need to present ourselves to God in the most humble manner That way he can be able to hear us Very true, very true As we almost come to the conclusion, Mr. Ati If you could just read for us the father insight From steps to Christ by Ellen G. White As we draw near to him with confession and repentance He will draw near to us with mercy and forgiveness And it's just again another promise from God You know, ladies and gentlemen, really God is really looking He's constantly soliciting us just to reach out to him You know, when you solicit, when you solicit You do everything You litigate, you arbitrate, you mediate, you negotiate You even threaten sometimes, you know Just to say, come, come All I want is you, all I want is you And this is really just what we want We'll move on to the Friday part And I just like Seth, perhaps if you could read for us The book of Proverbs chapter 16 verse 3 Proverbs chapter 16 verse 3 It's unfortunately it's not there If you have your Bible, you can just turn With us to the book of Proverbs chapter 16 verse 3 Are you there? The Proverbs 16 3 Ah, go ahead Put God in charge of your work Then what your plan will take place Put God, that's such a powerful verse You know, 16 verse 3 it says My verse says, commit thy works unto the Lord But I like the way it says Put God in charge Put God in charge Let him be the managing partner You know, let him be the CEO Let him be the one to say what happens, you know And then what's the promise that comes there? And then, thy Then what your plan will take place Then what you have planned will take place Is there any other shorter word? You know, for you to be successful What do you need to do? Put God in charge of your work Put God in charge of your work Really, you know And it's a promise that we have been given, you know And the lesson is just trying to tell us And this is really Samuel's call That if we are able to turn around If we are able to stay with confidence Right, that God is in charge, you know And put God first Then we shall experience success I'll just read the Friday part It says that, you know, when we turn from doing things our way And begin doing them God's way God will bless us, you know He blessed Israel with deliverance from the Philistines When Israel repented They were heard by God and were helped by God All right, all right So ladies and gentlemen, I think Really, we have come to the end of our lesson But I just want to give maybe two minutes Two to three minutes each Just for our panelists Just to tell you really What they have learned from this lesson really And what has really stood out for them So we'll start at the very end there With Seth What have you learned in this lesson What would you like What message would you like to pass on And what can you really say At the closing, parting short I think my parting short is Whenever you're in trouble Or whoever you may need something Just go direct to God Because you might be in trouble And you don't know how to solve it by yourself And remember God is that kind of person who When you ask him anything He might say Yes, no or wait But if it's that serious You can just say He can just say okay I'll grant you your wish as The way he granted Hannah's wish to have To have been given birth to somewhere Yeah Yeah, thank you so much The thing that strikes me is right here Consequences Consequences can be nice Consequences can be bad At times consequences can happen At times consequences can be delayed And notwithstanding God offers a bar He offers a requirement He's like You need to repent You need to turn away from your sins In short he's just saying You know, you guy You girl Look at this Leave the luck Leave the many devices you're seeking I think that's where Solomon Jamsen says like God has made man upright But man has sought many devices In short God has just said You know what The way I've made you If you follow the exact blueprint of how I made you And live your life with the blueprint I'm offering you You'll be happy You won't be worrying like What if whatever Whatever, no You'll work with my confidence You'll work like you know what you're doing Without second guessing yourself And that's the thing Like you may make mistakes Because what human is to err But you'll make mistakes confidently And you'll ask forgiveness confidently And you'll live your life confident That is Thank you so much That's so insightful To humanist To to to err is human Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Steve What have you learned? Yeah, in line to what Misati just mentioned We are all subject to sin Now I can agree The question is Are you able to recognize That you have done sin Are you able to acknowledge that you've done sin And be able to be of Be able to return to God And ask him for forgiveness Do you have that humility Are you able to Consciously go before God And ask for forgiveness that you may Be forgiven of your sins I think it takes courage It takes a lot of courage for you to Admit that you're wrong And to say that You know God forgive me God forgive me But as you rightly say It also takes a lot of humility To do the same You know to recognize that You know you're a sinner You know And that you're not that great You know and that you do things wrong sometimes Ladies and gentlemen What I have taken away from this lesson You know Is that there is always an opportunity There is always a room For you to change things Right As long as God has given you life On a particular day In a particular moment There is always room For you to turn it around You know And really that's the story And ideally the consequences You know we started by talking about consequences The consequences of turning around But both immediate delayed The consequences of turning it around Is essentially victory Victory You will win To quote Donald Trump You will win so much You'll get tired of winning You might even say You know you might even say Please I'm tired of winning God I'm tired of winning You know But he's going to tell you No we must win more Let's keep on winning And really that's the story That's the story The Israelites over here Were trying things their own way You know They were trying it their own way They were saying You know We can fight the Philistines Bring the Ark of the Covenant It will give us victory You know Until they had to put their trust in God And that's the only time that They were actually able to see results Right And so I'd just like to admonish you And really just encourage you And tell you You know the only way you can do it Is with God There is no other way There's no other way Right And with those few words I think My name is Bishmak Lumbah We've had a wonderful lesson together And we wish you all the best As you go on I'll just invite one of our panelists Over here to pray Sir, if you could pray for us Let's pray Thank you Lord for this day Thank you for life Thank you for another quarter Now as your departing Guide us, protect us And give us a very wonderful week ahead of us For this we pray Trust in me, living in just name We pray Amen Amen Amen Thank you so much And have a wonderful week
