Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Seek the Lord [inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life], all you humble of the land who have acted in compliance with His revealed will and have kept His commandments; seek righteousness, seek humility [inquire for them, require them as vital]. It may be you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger.

If a man vows a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break and profane his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

Also when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already.

The Miracle

Sarah, a pious and accommodating woman lived in a land where very little believed in her. She was known throughout the community for her faith in the gospel and her incredible stories of answered prayers.

Sarah had faced her fair share of trials and tribulations. At a young age, she lost her parents in a tragic accident, leaving her an orphan. But it was during those difficult times that she discovered the power of prayer. She would often hide in her room to pray where she felt closest to God, and pour her heart out in prayer.

One fateful afternoon, a day that was shining so brightly turned dark for Sarah when received heartbreaking news. Her beloved and only child, Stephen, who had been her faithful companion since adoption, had fallen gravely ill. The local doctor had done all he could, but his efforts seemed futile.

With tears in her eyes, Sarah rushed to the hospital and knelt beside the bed her son was laid. She prayed fervently, not for a miracle, but for strength to endure the inevitable loss. She asked for guidance and comfort during this painful time.

As the days passed, Stephen's condition worsened, and Sarah's heart grew heavier. She continued to visit the hospital, finding solace in her conversations with God.
Then, one evening, something remarkable happened. Sarah heard a soft sneeze from Stephen's room. Rushing to his bed, she found him sitting up, his eyes bright and lively, the little boy who was once affected with cancer was back to life like nothing happened.

The doctor was called in quickly, he was in shock and couldn't explain what happened to Stephen. Stephen's recovery was nothing short of a miracle. He went on to live many more happy years growing to have his own family whom he taught to stay with God.
Sarah's life was a powerful story, she left a legacy behind that reminded everyone that sometimes, in the most unexpected moments, faith could move mountains and bring forth miracles beyond imagination. That's exactly when God comes in, stay in GOD!

Accordingly, say to the Israelites, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you from their bondage, and I will rescue you with an outstretched arm [with special and vigorous action] and by mighty acts of judgment.

Farewell

Last Friday marked a significant chapter in my life as I embarked on a four-hour journey to move from one house to another. The sun was just beginning its routine, casting a warm color on the familiar street I had called home for years. It was a day filled with remembrance and bittersweet farewells, especially from the neighbors we had grown close to over the years.

The morning started early, with the sun's rays gently waking me from my slumber. The to-do list loomed large in my mind as I sipped on a cup of water, taking in the familiar view from my old kitchen window. The sound of properties overturned and furniture being disassembled filled the air. My heart felt heavy with the weight of change, but I knew it was time to move on to a new chapter in life.

As the clock neared noon, friends and neighbors began to gather around our old house. It was a close-knit community, and we had shared countless moments and evenings of laughter with them. They offered helping hands, moral support, and even some tears as they saw us packing our memories into boxes.

One of our closest neighbors, Mrs. Onyi, who had lived next door for as long as I could remember, approached with a plate. Tears welled up in her eyes as she handed them to me. "You'll always have a piece of this neighborhood with you," my heart was moved by her farewell words.

As the final properties were loaded onto the moving bus, our neighbors and few church members gathered for a group photo. It was a snapshot of the bonds we had formed over the years, a picture that would forever hold a special place in my heart.

The journey to our new home felt like a whirlwind of emotions. I couldn't help but think of the memories we were leaving behind and the adventures that lay ahead. Just before sunset, we arrived at our new house. It was an empty space waiting to be filled with new memories and experiences. Unpacking felt like unwrapping a gift, revealing pieces of our old life to be re-assembled into the new. The neighbors in our new community greeted us with warm smiles and open arms, making us feel welcome from the very beginning.

As I settled into my new home that Friday night, I couldn't help but reflect on the day's events. Though I had left behind a house filled with cherished memories, I knew that the bonds we had formed with our old neighbors would endure. They would dearly miss us, just as we would miss them.
