2 Timothy 3. The dangers of the last days

1You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.

2For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.

3They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.

4They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.

5They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

6They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of* vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.

7(Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)

8These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith.

9But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.

10But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance.

11You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—but the Lord rescued me from all of it.

12Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

14But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.

15You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.

16All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

My eyes are focused and clear. I can see exactly what God is calling me to do

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians 1:18, Good News Translation (GNT)

18 I ask that your minds may be opened to see His light, so that you will know what is the hope to which He has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings He promises His people

In Ephesians 1, the Apostle Paul described the spirit of wisdom and revelation as the “eyes of your understanding being enlightened.” The spirit of wisdom and revelation makes it possible for us to see the mystery or unseen realities of our redemption.

Ephesians_2-10-3: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them
Ephesians_2-10-3: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them

In Christ we have been launched into heavenly places to be able to clearly see God’s plans and purposes. When the spirit of wisdom launches us into orbit for a closer view or clearer picture, we can then see what God sees!

CONFESSION:
My eyes are focused and clear. I can see exactly what God is calling me to do. I am grasping the immensity of this glorious way of life He has for Christians!

 

 

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

HONESTY

HONESTY

Truthful lips endure
forever, but a lying tongue last only a moment. The Lord detests lying lips,
but He delights in men who are truthful (Proverbs 12:19, 22 NIV)

For more than 30 years, I have stressed that the bottom-line
to real Christianity is having a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus
Christ. I have consistently worked at this. I spent three hours daily with
Jesus Christ in morning devotions; attended prayer meetings and church; taught
the congregation in the church about Jesus Christ; walked two miles, five days
a week; and even become a vegan all in an attempt to connect with Jesus Christ.
But something was missing.

And then it happened. I found the missing link: HONESTY! A personal, intimate
relationship with Christ Jesus isn’t possible unless you are completely honest
with yourself and God. For the first time, I cried out “Honestly” to the Lord,
begging Him to cleanse me of every sin in my life. I thought I was a pretty
good person until the “little skeletons” started falling out of my closet and
then the big ones. My soul was crushed, yet I begged God more and more to show
me what I needed to do to “come clean” in my relationship with Him.

What has this experience done for me? As I have recognized
how my Heavenly Father has blessed me “over and beyond measure” despite my
sinfulness, not holding me in captivity but showering me with so many
undeserved gifts. The question comes to my mind: what will He do now that my
heart is totally surrendered to Him and ready to receive His grace? The thought
just blew my mind!

2ndly, I now try to see people through the eyes
of Jesus Christ. I see what they are becoming, not as they are now! Gone is the
legalism. The whole world looks different!

My plea is, don’t just lay in church and miss eternal life,
as I almost did. Be honest with yourself and God.   As
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I’m free at last; thank God Almighty, I’m free at
last. And it feels so good.”

Have you been honest with God or are you harbouring some
secret sins in your life? Ask God what it will take to “come clean” with Him,
and see what skeletons fall out of your closet. – By Olujoba

 

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria
and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Overcoming Life’s Challenges in Christ

WHO SHALL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST? FOR WE ARE
MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US (ROMANS 8:35-37)

As long as you’re in your physical body, you’re going to
face crises in life. You’re going to have to contend with forces of darkness
that’ll seek to destroy you. You mustn’t do that from the position of a victim,
it has to be from the position of a victor. This is why the teaching of the
Word of God is so important. As you learn God’s Word, you’ll discover you were
not made to be a victim. You’re born a victor. Let that be the standpoint from
which you view life; cultivate the “giant killer” mentality because that’s who
you are – more than a conqueror, an overcomer in Christ Jesus!

Ignorance of God’s Word has been the undoing of many of
God’s people. It is ignorance that gets some of them searching for deliverance
from one place to the other. You have to come out of that position of a
sufferer. According to the Bible, the true testimonies aren’t, “I was in
trouble, but God brought me out,” or “I was sick, but now I am healed!” The
true testimony is the declaration of God’s Word. As you mature in Christ,
you’ll discover you’re not poor trying to get rich or the sick trying to get
healed; you’re the blessed of God!

Healing belongs to you, prosperity is yours; your life has
been adequately furnished with every good thing necessary for you to live the
divine life. Stand tall in Christ Jesus; you’re not a victim but a victor. You
can never be disadvantaged in life; it doesn’t matter what comes your way, the
Bible says all things work together for your good! You’re not a child of
chance; predestination is at work in you and your life is for the praise and
glory of God, Amen!

PRAYER

My Dear Heavenly
Father, I thank You for making me more than a conqueror; a victor and an
overcomer in this life. Therefore, no matter what comes against me I stand tall
in Christ Jesus and remain a victor and a bundle of success in Jesus Christ
Name, Amen!

Run Your Own Race: Embrace Your Journey

Posted on by

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US,
LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH

Wherefore seeing we
also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witness, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2)

In life, you must never compare yourself with others;
rather, run your race and be the best of you. The Bible talks about “the race”
that is set before us; thus you’re not called to run someone else’s race.
Hence, it’s needless to engage in any kind of unhealthy rivalry or competition
with others. You’re only permitted to compete with yourself and outdo your
past. Never allow yourself to be discouraged when it seems as though those
around you are making more progress than you are; you’re not running the same
race.

That someone else is succeeding doesn’t mean you’re failing:
it all depends on individual aims, targets, and objectives. Success is
relative, and is measured at different stages. Take for instance, two men who
are building their houses. While one lays a not-too-deep foundation and starts
erecting a bungalow, the other one takes his time to dig deep because he wants
to erect a five – storey building. The former may finish his building and even
start living in it while the latter is yet digging his foundation.

Now, the first man may even jeer at his colleague and
mockingly ask him, “Hey! Are you still digging? I’ve finished building my own
house!” but what he doesn’t realized is that they aren’t aiming for the same
thing. The fellow who spent a long time digging knew that his foundation had to
be deep enough to support the tall building he intends to put up, for the
higher you want to build, the deeper your foundation ought to be.

At the end, when both houses are built, the difference will
be clear between the two buildings. So in life, focus on your race! Compete
only with yourself based on God’s plan for your own life. When you have this
consciousness, your life will be full of rest, and you’ll learn to measure your
success through the Word.

PRAYER

Dear, Lord, thank You
for showing me how to run with patience the race that you’ve set before me. My
gaze is on You Lord Jesus and my energies are focused on fulfilling Your plans
and purposes for my life; I refuse to compare myself with anyone else, but
measure my success in life with Your Word. Amen!

O Lord save Your Nations
Nigeria and Israel from all their enemies to Your glory alone in Christ Jesus,
Amen!

My Life Is Hid With Christ In God

My Life Is Hid With Christ In God

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
Colossians 3:3 (KJV)

This powerful scripture should encourage you today. We are living in a world that is filled with satanic activities, especially in modern times. It is easy to throw up your hands in complete surrender and helplessness given the terrible things happening all around. But beloved, I come to encourage you. No matter what is happening around you, remember that your case is totally different. Heaven has you completely covered. Let me remind you that when you invited Christ into your heart, you became heaven’s project.

Our text today says your life is hid with Christ in God. What is the implication of this scripture? It means that for the devil and his cohorts to succeed in their plots against you, they have to first attack God Almighty and destroy Him, then attack Jesus Christ and destroy Him, before they can pull you out to destroy you; and you know as well as I do that this task is absolutely impossible. God created Satan as Lucifer before iniquity was found in him, and as you already know, a creature cannot be greater than its creator.

However, the devil has a trick that he has successfully used over the years and that is to get you to doubt the word of God. He knows that ignorance of, or unbelief in, the finished work of Calvary will keep you from exercising dominion over him. The devil thrives on your ignorance. That is why he will always use the age-old trick he used on Eve and Jesus by asking, “Hath God said . . . ?” He knows that if he can plant the seed of doubt and continually water it, pretty soon, he will have you where he wants you-in total doubt and unbelief. Then you will be susceptible to whatever he throws at you.

Today I challenge you to refuse to live in ignorance; take hold of the word of God, believe in the word of God, and walk in total victory. Accept and celebrate God’s record for you and put the devil and his cohorts on the run today.

Psalm 91

1 John 4:1-4

Isaiah 14-16

Ephesians 5:1-16

Thank You Jesus!

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Joy Unspeakable

Nehemiah_8-10: Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength
Psalms_98-4: Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise .Thank You Jesus

Joy Unspeakable

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith…
I Peter 1:8,9

Joy unspeakable and full of glory is the bridge between believing and receiving. Psalm 2 says that God sits in the heavens and laughs. The Bible says the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The Kingdom of God is the realm of God; the place where God rules and reigns. If you want the Kingdom of God to break loose in your life, then joy is the supernatural battle strategy. Get full of joy and the dominion of God will break out. Healing and blessing will break out. You cannot have joy and be unhappy. One thing about it, I don’t think the devil can hang around happy people. The faster you get happy, the faster the devil is out!

Confession:
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

Romans 14:17

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Galatians_5-22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith

I Love You Dear! In The Hands Of God, My Words Will Be Used Like Nails To Secure My Spouse’s Self-Esteem

Posted on by

Ephesians_5-25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it
Ephesians_5-2-2: And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour

I Love You Dear! In The Hands Of God, My Words Will Be Used Like Nails To Secure My Spouse’s Self-Esteem

The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails.
Ecclesiastes 12:11

When your marriage relationship hits a trouble spot, it may be difficult to find much to praise about each other. Yet those are the times we need praise the most. So I urge you to initiate praising your spouse. Make it a deliberate effort. Bring the power of positive words to him or her in the midst of trouble.

In the verse above, Solomon gave some very descriptive characteristics of well-spoken words. When you choose to encourage and praise your spouse, your words carry the ability to prod, or goad, him or her in the right direction. And notice the result: Those words become like “well-driven nails,” the kind that secure all types of building projects.

In the hands of God, your words can be used like nails to secure your mate’s self-esteem. Your wise and truthful words bring perspective to his or her life, to your relationship and to your situation as a couple. They make finding solutions to your problems a real possibility.

You may be asking, “What if all this praise goes to my spouse’s head? Won’t he become prideful?” There’s a difference between truthful praise and flattery.

Flattery gratifies a person’s vanity, but praise is based on a person’s character and deeds. When you truthfully praise and applaud your spouse’s choices, you reinforce the value of building godly character.

Paul exhorts us, “Speak truth each one of you with his neighbor” (Ephesians 4:25). A keyword in that phrase is “truth,” which is the only real standard for bringing value to another person. Truth results in assurance and security, in worth and value. It becomes the compass during the storm that confidently steers us in the right direction.

So praise your spouse in all situations, using wisdom to meet the need of the moment, speaking truthfully to help construct character. Your words of affirmation can help rebuild what life has torn apart.

PRAY

Pray for a heart that longs to build up, not tear down.

Hebrews_10-24:And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

God Loves Me, And He Is Always Looking Out For My Eternal Benefit

Isaiah_55-8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD

Isaiah_55-8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD

God Loves Me, And He Is Always Looking Out For My Eternal Benefit

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! – (2 Corinthians 4:17)

To give thanks, we must realize as Christians that God is in control of all circumstances that surround our lives, both good and bad.

In 2 Corinthians 4:17–18 we are told, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”

The apostle Paul also wrote, “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” (Romans 8:38). God loves you, and He is always looking out for your eternal benefit. God is wiser than we are. And if He tells us to not do something, He does so for good reason.

Now, the Devil doesn’t want you to believe that. He would whisper in your ear, “God hates you. God wants to ruin your life. All those rules in the Bible are just there to make life miserable. You Christians serve an oppressive God who doesn’t want you to have any fun.”

What a bunch of nonsense. I’ve lived apart from Christ. I’ve had the so-called fun this world has to offer, and it wasn’t fun at all. I’ve also found that a life with Christ is a life of fulfillment and purpose.

We must realize that God loves us and is always looking out for our eternal benefit, even if what we are presently going through is difficult.

Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Thank You Lord God Almighty

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Thank You Lord God Almighty

“So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard me.’” – John 11:41

Jesus had a friend named Lazarus who died of an illness. By the time Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus’s grieving sisters, Mary and Martha, Lazarus had been dead for four days, and his body was sealed in a tomb with a large, heavy stone.

Jesus did something that puzzled and then astonished the mourners. He asked for the stone to be rolled away, and He thanked His Father for hearing His prayer. Then Jesus commanded Lazarus to come out, and he did—wrapped in grave clothes, but alive as the day he was born!

Jesus gave thanks before God raised Lazarus from the dead, but sometimes you and I get things turned around. We pray for those who are in prison, spiritually dead, to turn away from hard-heartedness and find new life, but we only give thanks after we have seen them change. We pray for families who grieve the loss of their loved ones to a prison sentence, but we only give thanks after they are healed and restored. We beseech God for the passage of restorative criminal-justice reform, but we only give thanks after new laws are enacted.

Jesus’ thanksgiving wasn’t just a token of gratitude to God; it prepared the way for miracles that would follow. Today, I challenge us all to follow Jesus’ model. Let’s give thanks before we see the miracles of resurrection, transformation, and healing. Let’s praise Him for hearing us all the time, and then watch with expectation for Him to bring the spiritually dead to new life through His Son.

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

God Did Not Save You To Be A Disgrace

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

God Did Not Save You To Be A Disgrace

“Be Careful For Nothing; But In Everything By Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God.”

Philippians 4:6 (KJV)

The Children Of Israel Were Supernaturally Brought Out Of Egypt By The Mighty And Outstretched Hand Of God. God Is Always Doing Something Even If He Is Not Speaking. When Heaven Appears To Be Brass And The Earth Iron, There Is Still Something Moving In The Circumstances Of Your Life. He Is Not Leaving You, For He Said, “I Will Not Leave You Or Forsake You.” He Is With You Until The End Of The World. God Always Brings You Out To Bring You In. He Didn’t Save You To Be A Disgrace. He Didn’t Save You So That You Would Become A Question Mark Or A Reproach. He Did Not Save You For People To Mock You. God Has Prepared A Great Destiny For You; You Will Fulfil It. Do Not Worry Even If It Seems Like Things Are Not Working. God Can Change Where You Are Overnight! Something Is About To Happen In Your Life. The Beauty Of It Is That When God Gets To Your Case A Miracle Will Take Place. He Will Hasten To Restore The Wasted Years. Your Salvation Will Not End Without You Fulfilling Your Destiny.

Jesus, Despite The Raging Of The Storm, Was Not Anxious. Everything Jesus Did Was A Lesson In And Of Itself. Remember That He Stripped Himself Of The Honour And Glory To Be Totally Human. He Slept While His Disciples Were Anxious. You Should Sleep, Because You Can’t Work Out Anything By Yourself. Let God Do The Work.

He Knows What You Are Going Through; Even Our High Priests Can Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities And Can Be Tempted Like We Are. This Is Why Jesus Came. He Came Down To Sit Where You Sit So That He Would Be Qualified To Die On Your Behalf. He Couldn’t Have Stayed Comfortably In Heaven And Told Us How To Overcome Temptation, Anxiety, And Pressure In An Effective Manner. You Can’t Understand How Others Feel Until You Sit Where They Do. So He Came And Sat Where We Sat And Felt What We Felt.

Enough Of The Anxiety! Your Hands Cannot Be Where God’s Hands Are At The Same Time. He’ll Never Share His Glory With Another. Your Part Is To Carry Out Every Instruction He Gives You. Leave Everything In His Hands.

 

Mark 4:36-41

 

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Hebrews_13-5:Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God Make My Life A Little Light

Within The World To Glow;
A Little Flame That Burneth Bright
Wherever I May Go.

God Make My Life A Little Flower,
That Giveth Joy To All;
Content To Bloom In Native Bower,
Although The Place Be Small.

God Make My Life A Little Song,
That Comforteth The Sad;
That Helpeth Others To Be Strong,
And Makes The Singer Glad.

God Make My Life A Little Staff,
Whereon The Weak May Rest;
That So What Health And Strength
I Have
May Serve My Neighbours Best

God Make My Life A Little Hymn
Of Tenderness And Praise,
Of Faith That Never Waxeth Dim,
In All His Wondrous Ways. Amen!

Oh, How He Loves!
His Is Love Beyond A Brother’s,
Oh. How He Loves!
Earthly Friends May Fail Or Leave Us.
One Day Soothe – The Next Day Grieve Us,
But This Friend Will Never Deceive Us,
Oh, How He Loves!

‘Tis Eternal Life To Know Him,
Oh, How He Loves!
Think. O Think How Much We Owe Him,
Oh, How He Loves!
With His Precious Blood He Bought Us,
In The Wilderness He Sought Us,
To His Fold He Safely Brought Us,
Oh How He Loves!

We Have Found A Friend In Jesus,
Oh, How He Loves!
‘Tis His Great Delight To Bless Us,
Oh, How He Loves!
How Our Hearts Delight To Hear
Him;
Bid Us Dwell In Safety Near Him?
Why Should We Distrust Or Fear
Him?
Oh, How He Love!

Through His Name We Are Forgiven,
Oh, How He Loves!

Genesis_1-26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth

I Want To Be Like Jesus.

So Lowly And So Meek
For No One Marked An Angry Word,
That At Ever Heard Him Speak.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
So Frequently In Prayer:
Alone Up The Mountain Top,
He Met His Father There.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
I Never, Never Find
That He, Though Persecuted Was
To Any One Unkind.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Engaged In Doing Good;
So That Of Me It May Be Said
‘He Hath Done What He Could,”

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Who Sweetly Said To All,
“Let Little Children Come To Me;”
I Would Obey The Call.

But Oh I’m Not Like Jesus,
As Any One May See;
O Gentle Saviour, Send Thy Grace,
And Make Me Like To Thee. Amen!
