Appreciating The Cell Church System

My post will focus on What is the Cell System, and Why the cell system. This is the only strategy for HEALTHY Church growth.

It is Easier to commit to something once you know why it is so...be blessed.

By Definition, a cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life (Wikipedia.org). ...The Body grows by multiplying and dividing of cells.

The Command/Advice from Jethro;
But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten. Ex 18:21 (NLT)

Early Church.
The Early Church was birthed in Acts with Cells. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity. Acts 2:46 (NLT)

Examples of New Testament Churches in Homes.
And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: “Jesus is the Messiah. Acts 5:42 (NLT).

Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home...Romans 16:5 (NLT)

..Please give my greetings to our brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house. Col 4:15 (NLT)

...and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your house. Philem 1:2 (NLT)

Mission of Cells
 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Eph 4:16 (NLT)

Rationale for Cell System Strategy
(1) Healthy Growth; Cells are the Outreach force in Church. A Member invites neighbor/friends to share with them the gospel and encourage them. In this arena, the church has innumerable opportunities for growth.

(2) Preservation of the Saints; (Being your brother's Keeper), in a scenario where neighbors attend each church/fellowship/cell, most likely a member won’t do the wrong thing for fear of being castigated. Even then, he can be corrected in time.

(3) Care Unit of the Church; Members are in touch with one another, they know one who is travelling and for what purpose,  and when they intend to come back, did they leave a family behind? Who is looking after them? Why has member x not attended cell? who is sick? Who is having financial problems? The Cell members should be able to come in and help.

(4) Leadership Development Platform; as the Church grows, Cell leaders, Zone, District leaders, their assistants emerge, when these are empowered. They develop into empowered leaders and this creates a resource for the Ministry. It also helps advance the maturity rate of the church.

(5) Platform for Spiritual Growth; Facilitates rate of spiritual growth of members.  World Over, there is no Church Service where members ask questions; most are made to accept beliefs that they do not understand. The Cell system presents an opportunity for;
(i) Asking questions on matters of Dogma and tenets, and scripture for more enlightenment and understanding,
(ii) Making contributions and suggestions,
(iii)The leader gets an opportunity to correct member's beliefs, even with discussion should they have been twisted by earlier wrong teachings,

(6) Replication of the Presence of God in Houses (For Location Providers); The Bible records, …The Ark of the Lord remained there in Obed-edom’s house for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his entire household. 2 Sam 6:11 (NLT)

Are you hosting cell? Are you a Location Provider for God's Work, brethren, you have the presence of God in your house, take the un-usual blessing.
If you are not hosting cell, be quick and host a cell group of your church today.

(7) Enhances Spiritual productivity of the Leader/Pastor; the leader flees up time to enable him concentrate on spiritual growth. The simple cases among the sheep are solved at lower levels and only challenging cases reach the Pastor. Ref. Exodus 18.

(8) Enhances Communication; Suppose a Pastor has a message he would like to pass on in the middle of the week/any day, in these times, he does not have to wait for Sunday service, he will send say an sms to his district leader, who in turn sends to regional leader,...to zonal, to cell leader and to members within say 15 Minutes. What a blessing.

Quick help:
>A Cell meets Once a week preferably in the Middle of the week
>A Cell Reporting System should be in place to track attendance and participation, and for purposes of follow up.
>It’s preferred that cells be drawn from the Neighborhoods where it won’t be costly to meet and effective in checking in on each other. 

>A Basic Cell has 10 Members on Average (breaks into 2 when members hit 12)
10 Cells Make a Zone
10 Zones a Regional
5 Regional s a District

I Hope you will go out of your way to start cells/attend cells and above all, host cells and to grow them, more so to explain to your church members why.

Remember; the plane can’t fly without its pilot…the spiritual leader always takes the lead.

Go and win souls using the Cell System Strategy.

JESUS IS LORD

HE has redeemed us of all oppression of the devil,

To be a Christian, you must be born again,… John 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

((Isn't it absurd that we have people who think they are Christians simply because they go to church or they found themselves there because their parents were going to a church - almost 90% of the so called Christians are not because they have never made that decision despite the baptisms, etc))

To be born again, you must confess that Jesus is Lord,… Romans 10:9-11 (ASV), because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Christ has redeemed us

Galatians 4:3-7³ So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. ⁴ But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. ⁶ Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Galatians 3:13¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,…

The 8 Biblical Cevenants

Wednesday 13th Marks the Beginning of Lent, through out to 31st March which is Easter.

We will be sharing more about Christianity and its tenets and dogma.

To begin with, lets share the covenants through the times and also remember that the last covenant was the New Testament which ushered us into the Kingdom of God thru acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Dont enter any other covenant now for its finished already.

The Noahic Covenant

·         Found in Gen 9:1-18, the Noahic Covenant is an unconditional one that God made with Noah and his sons after the flood waters receded and everyone left the Ark. The Bible says that God caused a rainbow to appear in the sky on that day and used it to promise Noah, as well as all of mankind, that he would never again destroy the earth and all its inhabitants in a worldwide flood.

The Abrahamic Covenant

·         The Abrahamic Covenant is an unconditional covenant in which God makes a promise to Abraham that he would be the father to many different nations of people and that he would prosper and be blessed. Through Abraham came the race of the Jews, and the sign of the covenant is circumcision. The details of the Abrahamic Covenant can be found in Genesis 12:1-4;13:14-17; 15:1-7; 17:1-8.

The Mosaic Covenant

·         The Mosaic Covenant was a conditional one that God made between himself and Moses. Found in Exodus 20:1 - 31:18, this covenant contains the commandments that God gave to the Israelites for uncovering God's will and for governing the people. In Christian theology, the terms of the Mosaic Covenant, which are commandments, ordinances and judgments, expired on the cross when Jesus died for the sins of men, which started the "New Covenant."

The Land Covenant

·         The details of the Land Covenant are given in Deuteronomy 30:1-10. Some people have referred to this covenant as the "Palestine Covenant," however the Bible does not refer to this covenant in that manner. Here, God makes an unconditional promise to the Israelites that he will give them a land of their own. This covenant also includes a provision that when the land is given to that nation, the people will all be united once again in serving God and their enemies will be destroyed.

The Davidic Covenant                  

·         The Davidic Covenant is God's unconditional promise to David that he would have an eternal dynasty. Found in 2 Samuel 7:4-16 and 1 Chronicles 17:3-15, the provisions of the Davidic Covenant center around three major components: an everlasting throne, an everlasting King (Jeremiah 32:21) and an everlasting kingdom (Daniel 7:14). Christianity traces David's lineage to Jesus Christ, who was a descendant of David many generations removed, and see Christ as the rightful heir.

The New Covenant

·         The New Covenant is one that is mentioned many times throughout the Old Testament to promise a future Messianic Age. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah who presides over the New Covenant. The main mention of the New Covenant is found in Jeremiah 31:31-40. This is an unconditional covenant that was established between God and all of mankind who choose to partake in a life of obedience to a new source of eternal salvation (Hebrews 5:9), read in Christianity as the promise of Christ. One of the provisions includes freedom from the laws given in the Mosaic Covenant.

Be blessed and share with friends.

The Call: Emmanuel Tugume-Pastor, The Praise Chapel

My Name is Emmanuel Superior Tugumetushabe, 

Born 9^th January 1983 in Mbarara

I am an Economist with Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, and Education Service Commission.

I am also the CEO of Elle Limited, a financial management and Investment firm located at Greenland Towers.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting) (MUK) and am still pursuing a Masters in Banking and Investments Management (MUK).

I got born again when I was 12 at Mbarara Municipal Primary school, I was then a member of scripture union Uganda, I believe this is when the seed was planted in me.

I would then backslide, coming back, going back and forth during my high school at Mbarara High School, Gombe SS and Valley College. Even then, holding onto my beliefs as a Christian and remaining active in church activities.

I however recommitted my life to Christ in my adult life in 2007 shortly before finishing University and have been born again since, fellowshipping at Watoto Church Central and East,

The Call

I was in between jobs in 2009, when God showed me his power beyond what I ever felt, his word delivered me, on a day when all hope was gone, he personally talked to me to serve him, that day Wednesday, November 04, 2009, I posted his calling to me on my blog, http://www.etugume.blogspot.com/2009/11/gods-calling.html, from then I knew that it was a matter of time, I began to pray and ask him for confirmation of his calling for I was not sure how to serve him.

In 2011, while I was doing my masters (Banking and Investments Management), it happened that I was good at discussing the most complex topics of the course one of which was financial engineering, to my classmates and they would keep coming back to me on how to go about the concepts and questions, some even acknowledging my gift in teaching, although I passed the paper, I discovered shortly after the exam, that I had personally failed the questions I had been discussing for my colleagues before the exam, it saddened and troubled my spirit that I could not eat or even sleep that night, all the while asking God Why this kept happening to me (it wasn’t my first time, but this time it hit me hard) some of my friends even suggested I had been bewitched but I held onto my faith, my aspiration then was to make it as a lecturer so I badly needed the grades. I must admit here too that at some point I lived in sin for a while.

That night, the lord revealed to me, ‘you are teaching the wrong things’. In a trance, God spoke clearly to my spirit that my priorities were upside down, that he had given me the gifts necessary to discern and teach his word but I am using these for my own benefit. When I woke up the next day, I knew exactly what to do and what my life was about. I even dropped the Masters save for the fact that It was my final set of papers which I passed and I was left with only thesis.

I then started telling my cell mates to pray for me and started looking for a place, reading books and buying DVDs and CDs about ministry, but getting a place was proving to be hard, for almost a year, hotel after hotel, building after building we would be rejected or asked to pay too much that I could not afford and this shook my faith and brought doubt, occasionally, I even put the whole idea aside as an illusion but God would find a way to bring it up, was i the modern day Jonah? This also came to me in a summon. Then I told God, if you have truly called me, find me a place.

I had just shifted to Najera, Ntinda on 28^th October, 2012. The first hotel I went to, Nob View Hotel, they said yes and welcomed us, it has wonderful conference facilities for us to use and on 4^th November, we opened the Praise Chapel Ministries in our first service with 8 people and God is moving in us since,

I have never felt the presence of God like I do now, I breathe it, I depend on it, or privileged as I am that God can choose to use me in my generation since I said here I am send me, “Also I heard a voice of the lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said I, here I am, send me (Isaiah 6:8)” now I live for him, I belong to him, everything I have and own is for him.

Let’s Praise the Lord, Preach His Grace & Faith, Discern and Teach his Word and Win Souls. Welcome to The Praise Chapel Ministries.

Real Power

Real Power Luke 22:31 - "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."

I was taught at a young age that the devil was very powerful. We were taught that the devil had power over us and could make us do stuff. But to read the bible and really walk with God has taught me something different. If the devil was defeated at Calvary and is still defeated, and if Jesus rose with "all" power, then that can only mean one thing...........The devil does not have any power over us! How could Jesus have all power and the devil still have some over us? If Jesus has all power then we have it too! We get power from the Holy Spirit of God because of what Jesus did on calvary. And the enemy is powerless against it. He can only deceive, manipulate, and use the power that he steals from us! You see, because of what we say, what we do, or where we go, he finds opportunity to enter into our lives and rob us of the God given power that we have.   In this passage in Luke, Jesus spilled the beans on how things operate in the heavenlies. Satan desired to sift, or "riddle" Peter. This word is telling us that the devil wanted to set Peter up for a fall, but Jesus says that he prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail and once he turned back to him again, he would help others. Wow! Okay, let's back up. Jesus said that Satan had asked permission of God to test Peter. God says, go ahead. Jesus says, I have prayed for you so your faith will not fail. And then Jesus gets prophetic and speaks a word of prophecy by saying, "When it's over and you come back to me, help others that go through testing times!" You see, if the devil had power over Peter, Peter's test would have been his end! But God only allowed the enemy to test Peter so he could lose his pride and help his brothers with their testings! The devil had to ask permission, and I'm sure God was like, "well, go ahead cause i need to work something out of Peter so he can stop being so hard nosed and unfeeling." So, God gave him permission to test Peter. But the test was fixed because the outcome of the test was already spoken by the Word himself! Peter wasn't being tested to see if he would fail or not. He was being tested so that he could know what a test felt like and he would have compassion for God's people while he ministered to them. You see, Jesus had already declared that Peter would pastor the first church, so Peter wasn't going anywhere. And had Peter not had pride in his heart, he would not have denied Christ and would not have needed to go through this testing period. The devil sought an occasion against Peter because of the pride that Peter had in his heart. But without that, Satan would not have been able to test him. There would have been no occasion or reason for the testing!   Suggested Reading: Matt. 28:18, 1Pet. 1:7, 1Pet. 4:12, Rev. 1:18

Timing Is Everything

About Our Daily Bread     |      RBC Ministries     |      Donate
Timing Is Everything October 4, 2012 Our Daily Bread is hosted by Les Lamborn READ: Psalm 37:3-11 All things work together for good to those . . . who are the called according to His purpose. —Romans 8:28 It was quite a few months before I realized that what I thought was a coincidental meeting had been good timing on my future husband’s part. From the balcony of the church, he had seen me, deduced which exit I might be using, raced down two flights of stairs, and arrived seconds before I did. As he casually held the door and struck up a conversation, I was oblivious to the fact that his “impromptu” dinner invitation had been premeditated. It was perfect timing. Perfect timing is rare—at least where humans are concerned. But God has specific purposes and plans for us, and His timing is always perfect. We see that timing in the life of these Bible characters: Abraham’s servant prayed for a wife for Isaac. God answered his prayer by bringing the young woman to him (Gen. 24). Joseph was sold as a slave, falsely accused, and thrown into prison. But eventually God used him to preserve many people’s lives during a famine (45:5-8; 50:20). And we marvel at Esther’s courage as Mordecai reminded her, “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Est. 4:14). Are you disappointed in the pace of God’s plans? “Trust in the Lord” (Ps. 37:3). God will open doors when the timing is perfect. —Cindy Hess Kasper Have faith in God, the sun will shine Though dark the clouds may be today; His heart has planned your path and mine, Have faith in God, have faith alway. —Agnew God’s timing is perfect—every time!

Richman Borrowing

 

A man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going overseas on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the man hands over the keys and documents of new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?

The man replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Praying in the Spirit (Tongues)

Quite often, Christians (born-again) may feel that they do not qualify to speak in tongues or worse, they may feel they are faking it when they try...i say go on, have courage saint of God, its the devil that is trying to confuse you...go ahead and pray in the spirit, pray in tongues. Below i discuss a few scriptures that show why.

^{1 Cor 14:2}

² For anyone who speaks in a tongue^[a] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

Acts 1: 4-5

⁴ On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. ⁵ For John baptized with^[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with^[b] the Holy Spirit.” 

 (Note that it did not matter that they had spent 3 yrs with Jesus, he warned them to wait for the holy spirit)

Acts 2:4

⁴ All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues^[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

Acts 19:6

⁶ When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues^[a] and prophesied.

Acts 10:45

⁴⁵ The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in tongues^[a] and praising God.

So why pray in Tongues?

 

-Interceding for us:
Romans 8:26-27

²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

1 Cor 2:11-12

¹¹ For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

 

^{Eph 6:18}

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

^{1 Cor 2:11}

¹¹ For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God

 I hope these scriptures have provided you the keys and the confidence to speak in tongues, its your inheritance, its just a form of deeper prayer...just like fasting, etc

When in prayer, try it out, even when u feel as if u are faking it, go ahead and pray in tongues...soon, the holy spirit will edify himself in you and you will be there...the word says he who asks, is given. May the Lord grant you the grace to speak in unknown tongues for it confuses the devil and its the master key to the mysteries of God.

Be POSITIVE

Gye Muli?

Reminds me of P-square's line, "....there is no positivity, all negativity"

1. If you are SINGLE and keep on saying "I DON'T TRUST MEN OR WOMEN!"remember... your mates are getting married every Saturday. Let me ask you, are they marrying spirits? Wise up!

2. If you are MARRIED and keep saying "I HATE THIS MARRIAGE!" OK! Is it not married people like you that are celebrating Gold, Silver and even Platinum jubilee? 

3. If you keep on ranting, ''I'M LEAVING MY MAN, HE CHEATED ON ME!" Please, go to town and see all the fine, cute, sexy, hot, hungry and desperate chicks waiting to snatch your man's money and property, they don't even mind sharing. Make it work, my friend! 

4. Stop saying "I HATE MY JOB!" Look! 20million people are jobless and can't even find any not to talk of keeping it! Do you want to join them? 

5. You keep saying "I HATE WHERE I LIVE!" Oh please! *tears* Try visiting those locations that are flooding now, people leaving in tin/zinc shacks in winter or people living/sleeping under the bridge at night and you will be grateful to God that you even have a place to stay! 

6. Some say "I AM TIRED OF THIS LIFE!" Well, go to the hospital and see people fighting for their lives! Go to the mortuary and take a look then tell me what you feel after that! 

The point is, be positive and believe in God, that's all that matters.

Be Blessed.

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

MEETING AT MENGO HOSPITAL

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
(A Sacred Romance)
25th May 2012

Bible study: Hosea (Hosea and Gomer)  

Understanding Relationship
 Definition:  Webster's New World College Dictionary defines it as "the quality or state of being
related, a continuing attachment or association between persons.“

 Which came first? Man's need for a relationship with God or
God's desire for a relationship with man?
  (the chicken or the egg?)

1John 4: 19
  We love because he first loved us.  John 3:16
  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

God instituted this relationship with man.
He made man in His own likeness. (Gen 1:27). Man was created to be like God,
think, speak and act like Him.   Man was to have total dominion on earth
while God rules in heaven. (Psalm 115:16) 
He created man to fellowship with him.
God would come and fellowship with
Adam in the garden in the cool of the day.
(Gen 3:8)

WHAT WENT WRONG?
God Creates man in his image for fellowship
Man sins and is cast out of the Garden of Eden
Man becomes so wicked and God Contemplates destroying
all his creation 
( And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen 6:6-7 )
Noah finds favor in eyes of God for he was a righteous man (But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. Gen 6:8-9)
Man still forgets to keep the laws of God,  God sends Jesus to reconcile man to himself once again

NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS 

  (Romans 3:9-20)
  “None is righteous, no, not one;
11
    no one understands;
    no one seeks for God.
12
All have turned aside; together they have become
worthless;
    no one does good,
    not even one.”
13
 “Their throat is an open grave;
    they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14
     “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15
 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16
    in their paths are ruin and misery,
17
and the way of peace they have not known.”
18
     “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
  …..20
For by works of the law no human being will be justified
in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart
that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved,  for with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 (ASV)

But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even
to them that believe on his name: John 1:12(ASV)

"I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people" (Leviticus
26:12)

The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. 
He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, 
but will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

I have seen servants upon horses, and
princes walking like servants upon the
earth Eccl 10:7 (ASV)

Wake up and take your place

God Bless You.

COMMISSIONING MEETING:

1 Timothy 4:14 - 'be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee

The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷ When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  

Luke 4:18

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
¹⁹     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

The Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27)

²⁴ “The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
²⁵ the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
²⁶ the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”
