All His ways are ways of righteousness and all His paths are peace.
How blessed are we to have God who upholds righteousness and is mighty to do so lest we be under the perpetual foot of the powers of darkness.
Our God is perfect and altogether beyond reproach who made a public spectacle of the powers and authorities of darkness.
In doing this, the Lord also made a way for us so that we who were lost in the domain of darkness could be redeemed into God's awesome kingdom of light.
Amen.

O LORD, OUR STRENGTH AND OUR REDEEMER
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Call upon the name of Lord and He will save you.
You may believe that you are unsalvageable. Your belief is wrong. The Lord Jesus is the infinite eternal God who paid the full price for the salvation of your soul and your particular condition is included in the purchase price.
A very high price was paid by God to ransom the people who are His so that if they believe in Him, they are redeemed from the kingdom of darkness and translated into the kingdom of light.
How does one call upon the name of the Lord?
The first thing to know is that the bible says that God is very near to us. You don't have to travel on a pilgrimage to call upon Him.
Wherever you are, you can find a quiet moment and say out loud, "Jesus, I am lost. I am trapped. I heard that you suffered and died for me and that you paid a high price for me. I call upon you because I believe that it is true. I ask you Jesus to forgive me and cleanse me from my sins so that I can leave darkness and move into your light."
It is that simple and it is your first step towards a life of peace and righteousness.

OUR LORD OUR SANCTIFIER
The Lord is our purifier. He is a refiner's fire. He purges us like gold and silver.
Place yourself under His santifying authority so that He can sterilize your vessel and make you into a usable utensil in His kingdom.
Amen.

OUR GOD YOU REIGN FOREVER
You are our God. You are our righteous King.
You are the wisdom before time began.
You made a way where there was no other way.
You are the wisdom before time began.
You will return in great glory and power.
You are the wisdom before time began
You are the great Judge who'll judge all the earth
You are the wisdom before time began.
You reign forever and Your name is ever great.
You are the wisdom before time began.
(Some lyrics by Theophilus)

OUR GOD WHO PROVIDES
The Lord our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He owns everything that is. He has no shortage of materials or provisions that He can dispense to those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
He is judicious in His allocations by giving more to those who are faithful in managing what He has given them.
He lavishes His bounty on those who trust Him and cast their cares upon Him.
Bless the Lord who blesses us so richly.

OUR GOD OUR HEALER
In the passage of our lives, we human beings run into circumstances where they contract illnesses both physical, and mental. As well, we sometimes run into physical and mental injuries because of trauma that we encounter.
In many cases, especially in modern times, human specialists can intervene and repair the effects of these various illnesses and injuries. A doctor could mend your broken leg or a psychiatrist could prescribe drugs to alleviate mental anguish.
In many more case, people find that they cannot afford medical intervention or that their problems exceed the capabilities of the medical practitioners around them.
It at these points that desperation can lead some to call out for metaphysical intervention. Some may seek the assistance of tribal medicine men or witch doctors. Other will see spiritual practitioners of traditions like Reiki or New Age practices.
It is however, the Christian culture of calling on the creator of the universe to heal our infirmities that raises a profoundly stirring question. Could asking the creator of the universe and the creator of our bodies and minds be inclined to assist with the repair of us when we need help?
Christian history is replete with examples of otherwise hopeless cases being redeemed by miraculous intervention. In the bible, the gospels record a man born blind suddenly sees and a woman with a terrible back injury is suddenly able to stand up straight and walk normally after being stooped over for 18 years.
In fact the whole bible lists a large number of cases where people called uppong GOd to heal them of ailments and these ailments would be remediated immediately. In rarer events, people who had been described as dead were revived from death and returned to life.
If the God of the Universe has proclaimed his willingness to heal people, would this not be an irrefutable proof of His authorship of the universe and of human life and is in fact deeply involved in the affairs of men?
The healing of humans is a calling card of the Most High God. If you seek His promises pertaining to healing and press Him for intervention, you will be astounded by the immediacy and efficacy of God's response.
