Amen. I mean, for the past two weeks, we've been looking at the five solace. Hallelujah. The five souless. And we said the solace are the Latin word for alones. And the five solace became necessary because in the 1500s and the 16th century, the church went into so much error. There were many practices in the church that were not in conformity with scripture. And number one reason for this practice was that the Bible was in Latin and the ordinary people couldn't speak Latin. Latin was understood by the priests. You know, so you realize that people couldn't read the Bible. Even if they had access to it, they couldn't read it because it was in Latin. And that was what brought a lot of error. So there were now practices in the church. One of them was the sale of indulgences, which was that you can buy forgiveness. So if you had a lot of money, you can pay in advance three years. You got what I'm saying. Like, and then sin to cover for it. And you know, and that was not justice, there were penances, what we call penances. You know, penances were acts prescribed by the church to atone for sins after confession. So, yes, there was confession of sins, so you go and confess your sins to the priests. But after that, they prescribed fastings, prayers, and alms giving, you know, giving money to the poor or the church, pilgrimages and acts of self-denial to atone for sins. But they were being done. I think some time ago in this country, there was a prophetic word that someone was going to die. And the prophet said the person should go and give to the orphanage, right? It is only Jesus, hallelujah, that is able to save a man or woman. So the reformation came about because all these things were happening in the church, right? All these practices, there was a departure. And you know, what was being done was church practices. So what we do in church, this is what edify does, and it's in the body of Christ as we speak, and that's why we are going back to what reformed the church, to what we have it now. The Protestant movement, you know, brought a lot of revival and reformation and a return to biblical practice, the scriptures. So we said there were five core pillars of that reformation, they're going back to what the church stood for. And we spoke about two of them solar scriptura, or what the scriptures and the scriptures alone. Solar means alone. You know that whatever we we've come to believe about God, whatever the parameters of spirituality would be, is determined by the scriptures and the scriptures only, not by a man of God, not by a prophet, not by a dream. Do you God? I'm saying if I wake up tomorrow morning and I put on the church page I had a dream, please, if it's not in conformity with scripture, throw it away. It's fit for the trash can. Hallelujah. Any practice in the church which does not align with apostolic teaching and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ is fit for the trash can, even if it produces results. Now we have a generation so hungry for results that anything that gets it done, we are willing to do. So we have received our babies from water spirits. Because once you are able to deliver a baby, then we are willing to do anything. There are women and there are families at all sorts of places. They are Christians, but because what we want is results and not God, we are willing to do whatever it takes to be rich. I watched a funny video, I think uh it was a movie, one of those old movies, the Nollywood movies. And was being asked that you know he should sacrifice his mother or something for my his sister for too much, too much money. He said, Oh, if this is what is needed for too much money, I can sacrifice my younger sister and all her useless friends. Do you go to say the the his friend was surprised? His friend who took him to their deity was surprised. He said, If what I need is my sister, he said, the brains of my sister, then I'm willing to add all her useless, her useless friends. So you realize that there were practices, there were acts, even if they are not in conformity with scripture. Right? Your man of God wants to sleep with you so that you can have a baby. It's not scripture, you know. So the scriptures and the scriptures only. Last week we did solar fide, and we said fide is the Latin for faith, and we said faith and faith alone. Whatever you are trying to get from God outside faith is useless, it's fit for the trash can. Whatever spiritual thing you are seeking for outside the parameters of believing in Jesus is fit for the trash can. Today we are continuing with solar agratia, which is grace and grace alone. Hallelujah! Grace and grace alone. So and the question the reformation was trying to answer is how is a man made right with God? How is a woman made right with God? Because we all know what happened in the book of you know Genesis, the the falling of man in that garden. There was a separation between man and God, you know, or there was wrath. And the question is, how do we repair a broken relationship with God? And that's why the five soulers became necessary. How is a man or woman made right with God? Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8. It says that for by grace are ye saved through faith. It's by grace, through faith. So that's where the teaching of the reformation came from. By grace through faith. Let's all say it through faith, by grace, through faith, and not of yourself, it is the gifts of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. There is one hero in the Christian story, and that one hero is Jesus Christ. There is no prophet, no major or minor prophet, no major or minor apostle, no major or minor bishop, no major or minor pastor. There is one hero in our Christian story, and that that hero is Jesus. So salvation is by grace through faith, not of ourselves a gift of God. And you know, when we talk about the grace of God, what are we referring to? What is the grace of God? Titus chapter 2, verse 11 says that for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared unto all men. The grace of God is the person of Jesus. So when we talk about grace, yes, grace is unmerited favor, right? As we all know the definition of grace is unmerited favor. But that unmerited favor is the person of Jesus. He was giving us a gift to us that we did not deserve. It's just like meeting a street child and giving that street child a Lamborghini. They have not worked for me, they don't have a relationship with me, they've not given me money, they will not give me any money. And I've given a Lamborghini. They may not have deserved that gesture. So you realize that that gesture is an act of my grace, right? So the Bible is saying Titus was writing and said that for the grace that brings salvation has appeared unto all men. Jesus appeared. So grace is not some mystical thing like something spirit, it is the person of Jesus. Grace is defined by the person, the works of Jesus Christ has appeared unto all men. Then 12 says that teaching us. So grace came teaching, right? So you are looking for a job, and then favor came upon you, and you got the job. That's not what we are talking about. We are saying that the grace of God appeared unto all men, and that grace appeared, teaching us that denying ungodliness. So grace is not a license to sin. It is not like, oh, God has forgiven your sins, so no matter what you have done, grace has covered it. When grace comes, it teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly last. So your cravings are out of control, and you say you are walking in grace. No, then the grace we are walking about is the grace of our or maybe the grace of something. It is not the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, because the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly cravings, worldliness, that we should live soberly. You should be level-headed, righteously. So, whatever grace you have, if it is not pushing you towards righteousness, it is not the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he says that and godly, you are supposed to live godly when you receive grace in this present age. That is the grace of God. The person of Jesus, when he comes into the hearts of a man or woman, teaches you. Looking forward for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Grace is the person of Jesus coming into the heart of a person. And that gift, the Bible says that, you know, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. The gift of Jesus is the gift of his grace to us. We don't deserve him. What have you done to deserve the gift of Jesus? And his death on the cross. The people he was dying for, right, were the ones crucifying him. Were the ones telling him that save yourself and you know, save us. You cannot save yourself. How can you save us? So you realize that it was unmerited grace that we received, the gift of eternal life. We did not merit it, we did not work for it. It is not because we are good people, none of us are good. If anything at all, we are evil, and God still gave us forgiveness. Some of us will not forgive any sin unless the person merits it. How is it that we who have received so much forgiveness cannot forgive? The Bible says that he who is forgiving much loves much. How is it that you've been forgiven so much and you cannot love him? Hallelujah. Who gave himself for us that he must redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself his own special people, zealous for good works. What grace produces in a person is good works, a zealousness, a passion to love God, to pray for his word, for his church. So that grace we have received is not so that we can get jobs and cars. He says that what he might redeem us. So first the grace saves us. Then number two, he redeems us from every lawless deed. And then number three, he purifies us. Even if you are living in sin, the person of Jesus is able to purify you, he's able to wash off the stains of sin from your life. And then he says that his own special people, you become special. You know, some of us are not special to anybody. Do you get what I'm saying? If you fall in love, you become special to someone. Wow, they think of you, they buy you gifts, they pray for you, hallelujah. You become special. But if no man or woman says you are special to them, you are a special people for God. Hallelujah. The most important person in this whole world says you are a special people. And he says that that produces good works. I pray that in your life there will be evidence of good works, good works everywhere. Because the grace of God or the person of Jesus Christ who appeared unto all men, it means that there are no special people who have grace. And someone says that my grace. You know, and and you you are not graced at all. Let me let me give you some of my grace. The grace on my life. Bible said the grace that brings salvation appeared unto all men. Pastor Albert doesn't have a greater grace than you, it appeared unto you also. It's like the sun. Wherever you are in this world, when it is day, the sun appears unto all men. The sun doesn't shine only in my house. If you are seated here this morning, you have access to the grace of God. Just to see that is what levels the playing ground. Someone may have a Lamborghini in their house, and I may not have a Lamborghini, but the sun shines in the house of the poor and the rich. No one here is disadvantaged in any way. My prayer life doesn't make the sun shine brighter in my house than any other person's house. My Bible study life doesn't make the sun shine brighter. Whether a poor man, a homeless man, a rich man, whether in America, whether in Africa, that same sun comes out every morning. His mercies are new every morning. For the criminal, for the matter, for the sinner, for the righteous man, the sun would appear unto all men. And that is why Prophet Malachi said that the sun of righteousness would arise with healing in his wings. He appears unto all men. No bishop has more grace than any other person. We all are unfailed face, beholding us in a mirror, the glory of God. The same glory. We see that same glory. The grace that brings salvation has appeared unto you. Whatever works I can do, you can do. Because the grace that is available to me is available to you. The grace that forgives me is the grace that forgives you. The men of God that you have exalted in your mind, the same grace saves all of us. It is the same grace that purifies us. It is the same grace that strengthens us. It is that same grace that is making me preach. It means you can preach too. It means you can love God too. Because the grace that brings salvation has appeared unto all men. Glory. Glory be to God. Now the grace is not appearing only to the righteous, to all men and women, everywhere in the world, not only the West. Even the people in the Middle East, the people in Africa, the people in India, in the Antarctica, wherever you may be, the sun shines for everyone. The grace that brings salvation appears unto all men. It means today, if you need him, by that roadside, you can lift up your voice and say, Thou son of David, have mercy upon me. And I pray that the mercy of God will locate someone. Oh, hallelujah. So point one, grace is God's favor in Christ. Grace is God giving sinners what they did not deserve through Jesus. Romans chapter 3, verse 24. He says that for all have sinned and are fallen short of the glory of God. All everybody has sinned. The apostles, the bishops. I'm just mentioning our name because sometimes we feel like we are out, out of the league. He said, All have sinned. The 24 center being justified freely by his grace. Who has ever paid for the sand before? Who has ever paid for more sun? There are some things that money will not buy. And don't you see all the all the most critical gifts in this life are free. Yes. All the most critical gifts in this life are free. Let's mention them. Life. Who pays for it? You can't even pay for one more second when your time is up. You can't. It's free. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. He says that being justified freely by his grace. The grace that justifies, the grace that makes you right with God is free. Through the redemption that is in Jesus. It is in Jesus that we have access to grace. Let's lift our two hands and say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Because it is free. Bible says that we are made right by you know by the sacrifice of Jesus and it's free. Free food. You know, when we're in the university, those days they used to do a promotion at the end block. They bring next cafe and boys who buy bread. It was the next cafe they were giving in cups. But come all boys who buy bread from the market at the back, and then we'll go to the end block. So they realize that that's where breakfast and lunch is. It's free. Hallelujah. Everybody can get some. I pray for you this morning that the grace which is in Jesus Christ, which is free. Whatever, how many people need grace here? When we say, we know we I need grace for these exams, it is available and it's free. Hey, I need grace for this job, I need grace for this marriage, I need grace for this life, I need grace for this relationship. Hey, I wanted to ask how many people need grace for relationship, and he says that it's available and it's free. What a blessing. It's available. Tell your neighbor it's available and it's free. Wow, what a blessing! What a blessing. Available and free. Hallelujah. It should be one of the topics for this week's devotion, available and free. Wow. Romans chapter 5, verse 17. It says that for if by one man's sin, I like the version that says sin, but offense is also great. If by one man's offense death reigned through one, how much more those who receive the abundance and the grace which is available is not small. It says the abundance of grace and the gifts of righteousness will reign in this life. I see someone reigning in life. I see someone reigning in your finances. And it says that what makes men reign is grace. Hey, you see, sometimes the rich people, when they look at poor people, you think they are lazy. When you see excellent students, you think people who are not excellent are lazy, they are not too that people who work hard. They are dooming like that's located you. Sometimes it is some strategic positioning that things happen. There are some things that when you call, you get access to them. There's a program I've been trying to buy online, you know, and they said it was 900 pounds. Then when I look at you know, in America, it's thousands nine hundred pounds, you know, thousand nine hundred dollars, right? This morning I woke up just before church. I just went on Facebook and there was a link. Oh, buy Mayo Clinic, something, something. I clicked on it. 150 dollars. If you ask someone, I've I'm downloading it, I've left I've downloaded a file. It's like I said, 150 dollars. How one thousand I think one thirty something. So when I use when I bought it with my credit card, 1500 was withdrawn from my account. I said, How it is free and it's available and it's abundant. It says that the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness would reign. I see someone reigning, someone who used to be under. You see, the grace we are talking about make men and women reign. Whatever you've been struggling with, you don't need to continue struggling. If you can understand the grace of God, the Bible says that you reign in life through the one Jesus Christ. Listen, we are not sinning because we are we are we are we are bad people, it's because we are made sinners. The Bible says that therefore, as through one man's sin, judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation. Even so, through one man's righteous act, our righteousness is not because we pray, it's not because we fast, it's not because we are good. No, it is because of one man's acts of obedience. That's what saves the grace of God. It's not because the spotlight is not on Mr. Nyan. All our boogab, boog, boogab, boog, the spotlight, the Bible says that all that is sort of rad. But when God looks at Jesus, oh hallelujah! Some time ago I gave you the example. When you look at national science and mass quiz, you know, the school is being charged on the two people who sit there. So be careful, the people who represent your school. Because if they are there and they call the riddle and they can't answer, then it means that your school is trailing. Oh, hallelujah. I think it was some time ago that we were doing this national science and mass quiz, and the school was winning, and they were saying, guys, say the chale. We won, we won, we won. Say which cause you say visual arts. Science students are doing national science and mass quiz. Visual arts students is claiming the victory. Why are they claiming the victory? Those two people represented at Motor, they represented Adissa, they represented Wesley girls. So when they win, Wesley girls win. You know who represented you before God, you know who starts in that in that on that stage, answering the questions on your behalf. The bracking rights is for prist, not the individual. So they said they've won eight. They've won it. It's not the whole prist that won the eight, it's those two individuals who sat in that box, who answered the questions, so that even the one who is bumping in prist. Can't rise up and hit his chest. We want it. I pray for you that the spotlight will no longer be on your acts and your failings and your weaknesses. It will be on the one who is in that witness box answering the questions on your behalf. Bible said that dear children, I pray you do not sin. But if you do, we have an advocate. We have an advocate. We have someone who is standing on our behalf, someone who represents our interest. The man Jesus Christ. It is his grace. It is his love. It is his grace. It is his love. So I don't need to be smart. All the best to those who want to be smart. We thank God for being smart. But if we look at the one who we have confidence to win, and I tell you, you win. You win because if he is the one representing you, there is hope for the future. I want you to live through this week knowing that listen, no matter the many faults and many weaknesses, many things have gotten wrong. There is one who stands on behalf of us before the Father, the righteous man Jesus. Not the spotlight is not on us. We are not the heroes of this story. We are not the heroes. We are not the ones to clap for. He is the one to clap for. And that is why one of the soles is to his glory alone, to his glory, not to our glory, not for our efforts. We thank God for our efforts. Hallelujah. But the glory goes to him because he lives. Because he lives. You too can find love. Hey, hallelujah. In this wilderness with reptiles, because he lives, we can also succeed. Hallelujah. Because someone should say amen to that. Hey, hallelujah. Grace is necessary because man cannot save himself. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 1. He says that and you he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins. We are dead. Thus, a dead man cannot save himself. We are hopelessly sentenced to the fact that how many people have tried? You know, sometimes if you meet a prayerless person, the problem is not a lack of effort or a lack of good intentions. Sometimes we are just powerless to save ourselves. Sometimes you meet someone who is in a form of sin. And it's not like they necessarily enjoy it. The problem is that we cannot save ourselves. You see, you will get to a place in this life when you realize that you cannot save yourself. I'm telling you, when you realize that you cannot even breathe a single more day without him. You know, when you are younger, you feel like there are many things that depend on me. When you start growing small, you realize that many things are out of your control. I can assure you. When it comes to falling in love, you realize that, see, you can find a good person, but it is out of your control that they remain good. You can have someone from a good home, but it is out of your control. It is out of your control the kind of children you would have. Hey, I've met good people whose children didn't turn out well. I've seen bad children come from good homes. I mean, when I was doing pediatrics, I had a good family. Beautiful, man, beautiful woman. They gave birth to a child with hydrocape fallows. They could not just come, you you soon realize how much you need God. I'm telling you, you know, in another phase, you can act like you don't need him. But when you when you walk small, you realize how much things are out of your control. And I pray that you discover it very early in your life how much everything about your life depends on him. Okay, you can get a good job. My colleagues at work, the treachery, the the sabotage, and everything that comes, the work that I pray for is now giving you hypertension. And you he made alive. We were dead. There was no chance, we were dead. We there was nothing we could do for ourselves. And very early in your life, if you know how much you need Jesus to go through this life, that's where wisdom comes from. We are helpless, we cannot save ourselves. John 14, verse 6 says that then Jesus said to you, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one, no one, none of us are that smart, none of us are that intelligent to find our way. Sometimes it feels like, oh, I know a few things. Fall in love and let's see. You know, you are doing a vetting process, so you are asking questions. What's your best food? You know, what's your best color? Then you ask that, oh, what do you like doing? So I like sightseeing and traveling. So I like traveling too. That marriage will happen, and you will not take a trip outside your home. It is not, you see, no one, you see, the the the earlier you detect, no one comes. You see, when we say to the father, it's just the ape's office. The other ones there, we are helpless. We are helped, no one comes to the except through me. And I pray that what this service should teach someone is how much we need Jesus. The conversation about the grace of God is how much we need these gifts of Jesus, that there should be nothing that moves the church away from him. There should be no time where we come to a place where we can have church without Jesus. No one comes to the Father except through him. Number three, grace saves through Jesus, not works. Titus chapter 3, verse 5. It says that not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his grace. Other verses and mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. It's not by works, it's not by works. You see, we are not saved by works, we are saved for works. Hallelujah. It is a salvation that now empowers you to do the works, but in the beginning, it is an act of God, it is an act of his mercy, it is an act of his grace that saves us. See, no one would go to heaven because of works. Anyone who has gone to heaven has rejected a person. When you look at the Hebrews 11, they're on a grandstand, how many people there were perfect? Did you see the people who were in a grandstand? Hebrews, go where reading Hebrews 11 and look at the background. Rahab cry is there. Hey, hallelujah. Rahab is there, Jacob is in the grandstand. It is not to limit the impact of works. Works are important because those are the evidence of the works that have been done by grace. So we are not negating the place of works, we are just saying that it is not works that qualify us. It means everyone is qualified. Oh, you don't get what I'm saying? You know, you want to get into a school and they say there is an entrance exams, an aptitude test, and you realize that you cannot pass. And this one they say, everyone has failed. Do you got what I'm saying? Before we even take the exams, no one will pass these exams. So it means that they're intelligent, they're unintelligent, they're damp, whatever you are, they're very intelligent. We all have one criteria, and that's the person of Jesus. I pray for you that we realize the gifts that he is, the amazing gift. Jesus is everything for Christianity. And I pray that you get to the place where you see how he is everything for us. We will treasure him, we'll love him, would exalt him, we'll pursue him, we'll lay hands on him. Hallelujah. And then number four, it says that grace and works cannot be mixed. Romans chapter 11, verse 6. It says that, and if by grace, then it is no longer of works, if by grace, if by grace is no longer of works, otherwise, grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, then it is no longer grace, otherwise, works, work is no longer work. So you cannot mix it. You cannot say it's some of my effort or some of my prayer or some of something. No, no, no. It is either an act of his grace or your works, and we are saying that it is grace that saves a man. Hey, hallelujah. Seven says what if by grace, then it's no longer of works, otherwise, grace is no longer grace. You cannot mix grace and works. Salvation rests on Christ's finished works, not on our works. So when we talk about the grace of God, it is the grace of his works which have been finished that grants us access to God. Uh, seven says that what then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks, but the elect have obtained it. You see, those who were seeking God through the law have not attained it because it's not by works, it's not by paying tithes. Hey, hallelujah! It's not by fasting, it's not by prayer. The Bible said that those who up who tried to get it through works did not get it. But the elect, oh hallelujah! But the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. I pray you are not blinded to this reality that whatever you are seeking for in this life, there is grace available for it and it's free. Hallelujah. There is grace. There is no need to be hungry when there is food available. How are you starving? How are you looking for something which is available? It's free. So now we'll get to how to have access to grace. Number five, grace produces good works. Works follow salvation, they do not cause it. So, what we've been talking about is how is a man or woman made right with God? Right? How are we saved? That's the conversation we are having. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10. It says that for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works. We are created for, we are not created by good works, created in Christ for good works. So the grace that saves us what creates us for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. There are works that your life must accomplish, and they can only be accomplished by his grace. There are things that you've been born in this stage of your life, there are things that you must be doing. I pray that your eyes will be open to them. I'm telling you, because you have not just been saved for nothing. You have just not been saved so that you can come to church, read your Bible, sing hymns once in a while. No. He says that we are saved and there are works prepared beforehand. That we should walk in them. Paul said that by this time you ought to be teachers. It means that in God's calendar, there is a stage when you must be in class one, class two, class three, class four, class five. There's a stage when you must be in the university. Some of you are supposed to be in the university, you are still in cage. Because there are things that you must be able to do at this point, which you are not doing. But we thank God for his grace. That his grace produces good works which God has prepared beforehand that we should work in them. Number six, grace removes all boosting. Grace removes all boasting. It says 1 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 29, that no flesh should glory in his presence. None of us can come before God and hit our chest, that it is by any doing of ours. None of us. None of us. If we look up to Jesus. So when you look at the Hebrews chapter 11, it ends with looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. We look to him for everything, we look to him for salvation, we look to him to live the Christian life, we look to him for deliverance from sin. We look to him for going to heaven. Everything that we need, we look unto Jesus. This week, may you look unto Jesus. You see, when Israel was walking through the wilderness, you know, to the promised land. And you know, there were serpents in the wilderness. What was God's remedy? He put one of the serpents on the cross. He told Moses to put that serpent on the pole. And he says that anyone who looks unto it would be healed. The problem was not because the snake was poisonous, it was not because the snakes were big, it was not because they were dangerous. No, the vellums were not too poisonous. The problem is if you can look after the pool. And there were people who perished in that wilderness because they never looked up to what was lifted up on that pool. And Bible said, as Moses lifted up that serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted. And the Bible said, If I lift, if I'm lifted up, I'll draw all men to myself. Lift up your two hands with me. This morning I want you to say, Jesus, I look to you. Ah, I want to hear it. I look to you, I look up to you, I look up to you. Ah, anyone before the mountains, from whence come our help? Our help comes from the Lord. Bible says that case is a man who looked to the hand of flesh. This morning, I don't know those who need healing, those who need restoration, those who need, you know, those who need answers to questions they've been asking. Sometimes life can give you many questions and no answers. This morning, the answers are unto Jesus. I want you to open your mouth and begin to pray. If you are a businessman or woman, look to him. If you are a pastor, look to him. We are looking unto God. Life would bring you to a place where it is only your looking up to him that brings you out. So this morning, you want to lift up your voice and say, Thou son of David, have mercy upon me. Blind Bartibius has been blind his whole life. One day he heard that Jesus was passing by that way. And Bible says that with a loud voice, with a loud voice, don't be quiet. Bible says that those who were by him told him to keep quiet. But the Bible said he shouted them all, Thou son of David, have mercy upon me. This morning, lift up your voice and say, Thou son of David, look, have mercy upon me. Thou son of David, have mercy upon us. Come on, lift up your voice. Thou son of David, have mercy upon us, thou son of David, have mercy upon us in the name of Jesus. So, Father, we give you praise, we give you honor, we give you adoration. We don't take for granted your mercies that has kept us. This morning, we exalt you above all others. We say thank you for your grace. We say thank you for your amazing gifts. We say thank you for your love. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Oh, hallelujah.
