3 CONGREGATIONAL HYMN 1 Holy, Holy, Holy by Reginald Heber ( ) Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

4 CONGREGATIONAL HYMN 2 Daniel Brink Towner ( ) 1 When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Refrain: Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 2 Not a shadow can rise, Not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt or a fear, Not a sigh or a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey. 3 Not a burden we bear, Not a sorrow we share, But our toil He doth richly repay; Not a grief or a loss, Not a frown or a cross, But is blest if we trust and obey. 4 But we never can prove The delights of His love, Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor He shows, And the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey. 5. Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet, Or we ll walk by His side in the way; What He says we will do; Where He sends, we will go, Never fear, only trust and obey.

5 CONGREGATIONAL HYMN 3 Higher Ground Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. 1. I m pressing on the upward way, New heights I m gaining every day; Still praying as I m onward bound, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. Refrain: Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 2. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 3. I want to live above the world, Though Satan s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. 4. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I ll pray till heav n I ve found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

7 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters (Psalm 29:3 KJV) Voice is the sound produced by the modulation or vibration of the vocal folds (larynx) to verbalize the Words organized in communication. Without the voice, no words will be communicated; one will be inaudible, unclear or incommunicado. Voice characteristically delivers or conveys one s Word. It aids our communication and interaction. The magnificent and notable effect of voice is highlighted when someone loses his/her voice ; a condition described as laryngitis resulting from viral infection occasioned by flu, cold or other ailing condition. The unease motion of using other means to communicate or gain attention could be excruciating and agonizing. The sometimes few words uttered quite so effortlessly with a voice could take lengthy time to be expressed in some other ways including writing. Voice is thereby a suitable and magnificent enabler that makes our life including verbal communication seamless and grand. We shall not lose our voice in Jesus Name. Voice is also a unique identifier. Quite readily, in our daily interaction we recognize friends, families and relations, colleagues by their respective and unique voices. It is this unique element of voice that has made the technological innovation of voice recognition possible in computational linguistics allowing devices and security gadgets to gain recognition or identification to grants security access or clearance. Voice is a marvelous and insightful creation of God. We thank God, He gave us voices. Praise the Lord. It is cruelly irrational therefore, to imagine that God who so marvelously created Man with Voice would be inaudible or voiceless. It will be inadmissible to further imagine that His voice is not identifiable, distinguishable or recognizable. We must be able to identify God when He is the one speaking. About Himself, Jesus said, I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (John 10:14,27 KJV) Notice, Jesus was definite and clear about His being identifiable by His Voice. This is the urgent and important task for His sheep therefore to be able to identify His voice among many or various voices. Consider what the Bible says about The Lord and His Voice, The voice of the Lord is over the waters (Psalm 29:3 KJV) This is a major and important clue on how to identify, locate or recognize the Voice of God. The Bible says, The voice of the Lord is over the waters inferring one can locate, recognize or trace, identify His voice over the waters. Where then is the waters? The Psalmist says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalm 1:1-3 KJV). The Words of God, copiously bound together in the Bible is typified as rivers of water and everyone who mediates on the Word of God as tree planted by the rivers of water. Everyone who reads the Bible often so regularly will doubtless recognize the voice of God as His voice is over the waters. Have you heard God lately? Turn to your Bible. Olusanya Adewusi

8 WEEKLY REVIEW Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 8:47 Communication is the life of every relationship. We cannot claim a relationship with God our Father if we don t know or hear His voice. God speaks and wants us to hear Him. It is our responsibility to hear from Him and this must not be outsourced to anyone. Our God is alive and calls us to a place of worship where His voice speaks peace driving away every worry and fear. Steps to Hearing God 1) Desire to hear- Ps 85:8 2) Incline (tilt/position) your ear before coming to Him- Is 55:3 Hearing God brings restoration and repairs everything that may seem broken in our lives. As has just been said: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion. Heb. 3:15 Beloved, God speaks, He talks and He desires to communicate with you and me. He desires that we know and hear His Voice. He wants to engage us in meaningful conversation. Bible said, And they heard the voice of the Lord God. Let us awake to knowing and hearing His Voice too. Pray for this encounter. Sister Kachi Odumah Holy Convocation
