My dear brother and sister in Christ our Lord, welcome to the fold of our living God, in beloved South Sudan. Our God, our father Abraham, our God, our father Isaac, and our God, our father Jacob, on this blessed morning, by God’s grace to His chosen people in South Sudan from eternity, and may you be well and in good health. My beloved brothers, I am pleased to first of all like you:- To point out this grace from the Holy Bible, and to your readiness to heart it, including what is in your daily lives, from a spiritual perspective, faith, and trust in God alone, without partner. As stated in: Exodus 20:1-21# Brief Overview: The first four commandments: Relate our relationship with God in heaven only. You and I must obey these four commandments completely before God, who has no partner. As for the last six commandments, they relate to our relationships with the world, people, the state, and others, without omitting a single letter or adding a single letter, as stated in the Holy Bible in: Revelation 22:18-19# and also in the Holy Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:14# These are the statutes and the ordinances God gave to us at that time on Mount Sinai through his servant Moses, and to us today in the whole world ((especially today in South Sudan)) You and I are very, very important to us, my dear brother and dear sister in Christ our Lord. Exodus 20:1-17# saying: 1- Then God spoke. In all these words: 2- “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the place of your bondage. 3- You shall have no other gods besides me. 4- You shall not carve for yourself a statue, or make any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. 5- You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. 6- I will show mercy to thousands of those who love me, who keep my commandments. 7- You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain, for the Lord punishes anyone who takes his name in vain. 8- You shall keep the Sabbath day holy. 9- Six days you shall work and do all your work. 10- But the seventh day you shall make a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You shall not do any work on it, you, or your son or your daughter, your male or female servant, your livestock, or the stranger who lives within your gates. 11- For the Lord made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them in six days, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12- Honor your father and your mother, that you may live long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 13- You shall not deceive. 14- You shall not commit adultery. 15- You shall not steal. 16- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17- You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, or his wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to him. Not only this: but the Israelite people accepted all the Ten Commandments spiritually, with faith and trust in God, so that we may find favor in the eyes of God alone, without partner. Therefore we must all fear Him or be terrified, we the people, as stated in Exodus 20:18-21#: 18- And when all the people saw the thunders and lightnings, and heard the blast of the trumpet, and saw the mountain smoking, they trembled. And they stood at a distance, 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself, and we will listen, lest we die while God continues to speak to us.” 20 Moses answered, “Do not be afraid. The Lord has come to test you, so that the fear of the Lord may abide with you, and you will not sin.” 21 While the people were standing at a distance, Moses came into the thick darkness where God was. And not only this: the Scriptures have shown us in Revelation 22:18-19: 18 I testify to everyone who hears this book of prophecy: If anyone adds anything to what is written in it, God will add to him the plagues described in it. 19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are described in this book. 20 And the Scriptures have shown us in Ecclesiastes 3:14: 14 I know that everything God does endures forever. Eternity, nothing can be added to it or taken away from it. God created it so that people might fear Him.

Finally, my beloved brothers: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
