VOLUNTEERISM IN WAR SITUATION

In times past, when the question of reason for existence of certain populations were objects of any mention, many offered to freely serve in organised groups to defend their very right to not just living but having a quality life; gone are the days, in especially our part of the world-Africa, when such slogans as `freedom` were opium for the brain and natural alkaloid-like analgesics for the body no matter the pain. In our days, Volunteerism in the real sense of the word, has often lost out of many minds and in essence, conscription mainly in the guise of artificially created economic hardship, to compare people to consider the armed forces, has often now been the stimulus informing most minds to be recruited to fight a cause they will woul,d otherwise, have hardly considered. Therefore, the battle is often times even lost by some percentage before it is started. Well that is not to deny the fact that a couple still wilfully opt to join the armed forces.
But perhaps, the lack of honesty in the armed forces and the alleged love of money to the point of betraying one`s troops and country at large may have contributed much more to the volunteerism phobia` than may have been openly admitted recently. It is not uncommon to hear, among enlightened youth, nowadays, that they had rather joined and died in the Israeli or American military than to quell into the blood soaked unending war fields in Nigeria. Sad as this may sound, it`s harder to antagonise these opinions than to accept them, giving the realities on ground.
Volunteerism in war situation can take different forms. It ranges from the wilful submission of once self to serve in war torn Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, through offering one`s self to serve in the armed forces like the police, the army, the Navy and indeed the Air force. Yet another form of volunteerism is the wilful acceptance to serve in non-governmental organisations in war torn areas. It is important to note that whatever the choice one may prefer among these listed organisations, volunteerism has suffered setback in regards to persons subscribing to it in one form or the other.
Looking at the armed forces for example, most people if properly informed, and indeed a lot are already informed; prefer to join either the Air force (most preferred from sampled opinion) or the naval force. Less people would want to join the army in Nigeria. The reasons are not far-fetched. Even from entitlements, the take home of most soldiers at pal in the force with their sister forces is less than the take home of their contemporaries in the other forces. Needless to remind us, that, the police recently had an increment in their salary scale, while the dyeing soldiers have so far been left to hope at best. Needless, also, to say the land army is supposed to be a formidable fighting force that should be high in morale in every regard, the case is far from that however. As earlier introduced, a couple still wilfully opt to join the army, especially, solely for the love of it but a good number often end up dying from what one can comfortably call `preventable causes`. For instance what does one make of it to hear than a conventional army like that of Nigeria are less logistically, and otherwise, equipped than the invading insurgents? Why for that matter is it that the army, instead of attacking and taking the war to enemy territory is rather on the defensive? With these questions in mind and with the glaring reality of the loss of promising young men in the army, volunteerism as a phenomenon is looking less a recurring idea to the teaming population. This is further exemplified by the recent refusal of some police officers to be posted to the northeast even after a recent increment in their stipends, an event that saw wide welcome.   One would have reasoned that such individuals should gladly volunteer for the task however the exact opposite was the case; they didn’t only offer to reject the salaries, but to entirely leave the police force as we read on the pages of newspapers. Therefore, is there hope for volunteerism in war situations…?
Let’s take a careful look at the civilian world. Civilians can volunteer to either work in voluntary non-governmental organisations or to serve in such governmental organisations like the national youth service corps (NYSC) in war torn areas. Well, it is worthy of reminder that these non-governmental organisations pay fairly more than the government agencies available in the country. Despite that being the case, one hardly finds individuals who agree to work in war torn areas because of the somewhat loose nature of the security infrastructure. An African proverb has it that what affects the eyes can also affect the nose and nostrils; with even the armed forces being at the verge most times of losing territory and their very own lives, one wouldn’t need to reason much to see the reasons why many will not volunteer to work in these areas-their security is not guaranteed!
As such, where one already has empathy and sympathy for a suffering people, the second thought reminding them of the like-hood of harm coming to them; the said  helpers, is a pretty stronger antidote than the said humanitarian tendencies.
But is all hope lost…? Is there no way forward….? By the very nature of man, there`s always that aspect of a person that commands humanity in the guise of empathy, sympathy and manifest love, that is to admit that people will always be willing to be of help to the suffering innocent. The catch to that however is that these individuals must be guaranteed of reasonable safety. Therefore if volunteerism is a virtue that should be promoted, then the government must ensure that it does everything possible to, not politically by way of propaganda, stay on top of the security situation but to realistically and provably; based on facts on the ground, stay above the security situation. Anything short of this is likely to be consequent in a situation where the government may, one day, resort to bringing in foreign armies to keep it politically relevant! We pray it never has to be the case, but prayer without good works is likely to be mere sayings!

NIGERIANS: WE NEED TO TALK TO OURSELVES

Sometimes when I contemplate on the current situation in Nigeria, it suggest to me that something is fundamentally wrong with us. We generally point an accusing finger on our decision makers as to the cause of our problems and challenges as a nation. Particularly for us as political scientists, we take chunk of time in our intellectual excursion into Nigeria's situation by analysing the leadership gap in the country. While it is true that we have leadership deficit in the nation, we sometimes tend to forget that, our so-called political leaders evolved from the Nigeria's environment. The Nigeria's environment is the bakery of the leaders we have. In other word, our leaders don't come from the moon. They are the product of our environment. In looking at the leadership problems of Nigeria, it is necessary for us to begin from the environment. What then is the Nigeria's environment? What's its nature? What's its constituents? What are its values?

Nigeria's environment in this context refers to the various organizations, agencies and institutions that exist in the country. It comprises of the family system, the religious institutions, the educational institutions, the business environment among host of others. Yes, these bunch of institutions and systems, are what made up the Nigerian state. It is from them that our leaders emerge. In my humble opinion, two out of these institutions (the environment) plays the most significant role in molding the kinds of leaders we have, Viz; the family and the religious institutions. If these two institutions or environment will begin to say the truth, offer the required leadership training, etc, then there will be spillover effect to all other sectors and institutions of the state. Hey common, Nigerians let's talk to ourselves. What values are we promoting in our families, in our Churches, Mosques and 'shrines'? Aren't we promoting greed, deceit, lies, hatred, corruption, selfishness and all manner of wickedness? I mean, come to think of it, all our political leaders in this nation without exception attend one religious gatherings or the other on a regular basis, be it Church or Mosque. Similarly, all our political leaders came from specific families. They aren't vagabond! Buhari, our President, has a family, or better still came from a family, he also attend Mosque for payers & sermons. What about our vice President Osinbajo? He was even a very powerful RCCG Pastor before ascending the throne. So applies to Bukola Saraki, Dogara Yakubu, Abba Kyari, Mamman Daura, Burutai etc, amazingly even Nasir El'Rufai and all our Governors in the nation associate themselves to one family and religious institutions or the other. My question is what are the values been promoted in our families & religious institutions today? For instance, at the grass root level, exam malpractices is one of the major pandemic and epidemic ravaging us in this country. The values of hardworking, honesty, discipline are eroded from our school system. WAEC & NECO  exams that  qualifies students to gain admission into tertiary institutions are theatre of corruption. Quote me any where, over 60% of the secondary schools we have do write exam for their students(popularly known as expo)- how I wish the authorities of these exam bodies will task me to proof this by engaging me. Even the best secondary schools you can think of do the same. Painfully, even religious based schools mostly does the same. Let's tell ourselves the truth,  what kind of a governor, a minister or a commissioner do you think we can produce from such dubiously earned certified students? Regrettably, parents, Uncles & Aunties from various families are the key promoters of these destructive acts. I mean, common, where are we going with all these?

What do parents teach their children at homes? What do our Pastors, Bishops, Imams & Mallams teach their followers? What are the dominant values, culture, principles and   traditions that are been promoted in our families & religious institutions? As I write this article my heart bleeds for the situation of Nigeria.

Needles to say, I am one of the firm critics of this present administration, but I also firmly believe that mere change of government will not mean anything to this country so long as our values remain the same. Am also a firm promoter of the necessity for youth participation into the political leadership of this country, however, nothing positive will come out at the end of the tunnel if we have a vibrant young man as the President of Nigeria that has similar dominant values that seem to prevail in this country. But come woo, how then do we solve our problems in this nation? Having Christians as leaders? Absolutely NO! Having Imams as President, law makers, & Governors? NO! May be having Professors as our leaders? Noooo...! All these has proof abortive over time. So how then can we address our problems? Could it mean that there is no solution? NO! There exist solution to any problem, Nigeria's problem inclusive.

To my humble opinion, the solution is that, we Nigerians, we need to begin telling ourselves the truth. And of course, this must begin from our families and religious institutions. We must collectively admits that the current status quo has failed, is failing and will continue to fail unless something is done about it. THE SOLUTION IS SO SIMPLE AND SO HARD AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY. For instance, every family be it Muslims or Christian families should teach their kids that stealing public funds brings about decadence to all of us; both to the rich and the poor, Christians and Muslims, Yoruba's, Hausas and Igbos, everyone suffers from it. Anything at all you obtain through fraudulent act is evil and will witch hunt you sooner or later.

Nigerians are truly religious, so the religious institutions in my view will play a vital role on this. All the proprietors of schools that does exam malpractices attend religious gatherings; so we must tell ourselves the truth, that EXAM MALPRACTICE  is evil as much as STEALING PUBLIC FUNDS is. This as I said earlier will automatically spillover to all other institutions, hence bringing about a complete overhauling of our leadership psyche in the country.

Nigeria could be great again, may be great, will be great & must be great indeed if we can come face to face with ourselves and tell ourselves THE TRUTH. If you're going to address a given number of people by way of a sermon, either Christian or Muslim clergy  or under whatever guess, please I admonish you to keep speaking to the conscience of Nigerians on the need to tell ourselves the TRUTH. Americans, Britons and indeed all the Europeans and all the inhabitants of the newly industrial nations of Malaysia, United Arab Emirate, China, North and South Korea etc are not better than us in anyway. We could be like them, if we can begin from the stand point of telling ourselves the truth. I believe if we revolutionise  the baking ground of our leaders (institutions/environment: family system, religious institutions, schools,...), Nigeria and Nigerians will experience a great lift. CATCH NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS AT THE TOP!!!

YOUR LIFE ISN'T YOURS

Right from antiquity, humans have been involved in one freedom struggle or the other. In fact freedom struggle took a much more new dimension for  over a century. The wave of freedom has been blowing all over the world. Individuals under slavery has sought for freedom, countries under colonial subjugation, suppression & oppression has fought for independence, nations under one form of dictatorial government or the other have also sought for liberation and even countries under monarchical authoritarian rule in some part of Asia and Middle East are clamoring for freedom. In fact the quest and or desire for freedom seems to be inherent in every human being. Generally, men(& women) are aggressive to any suppressive or oppressive tendencies. This perhaps explain the reason for the rapid spread and acceptability of democracy as a form of government in most part of the world. In spite of all these quest for freedom and liberty humans have remained and will remain under one subjugation or the other. However, in this short piece, I don't intend to focus on socio-political freedom.

The fact is that, no mortal man is actually free. As a renowned English thinker, Jean Jacques Rousseau rightly put it "man is born free, every where he is in chains".

The question therefore isn't about whether you're free or not, but about under whose control or lordship are you? If you have not receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour, sure you're under the slavery of the devil who comes only to kill, steal and destroy. If however, you're lucky to have received Him(Jesus) you're a new creature old things have passed away behold all things have become new. Every believer is under the leadership of Christ, he/she don't live his life the way he want.

Some Christians do say that, well, my body belongs to me so I have the right to leave the way I want. I could go to any where I want. I could do any thing I so wish. But on the contrary, we are not our own, we are owned by God.

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1Cor. 6:18-21)

This clearly clarify that we don't own our lives. Our body, our knowledge, education, money or whatever resources we have isn't ours. It belongs to God. Seeking for absolute freedom is therefore a mirage. Of course Jesus came to bring freedom for the oppressed but not a freedom to do whatever we want. It's a freedom from living a sinful life.

The reality is that, all men are 'slave' to something. For an unbeliever, he/she is of course a slave to the devil. He will naturally find himself fulfilling the yearnings of the evil one whose three points agenda are killing, stealing & destruction. This explain the activities of terrorist organizations, corrupt politicians, thieves, kidnappers, arm robbers, burglars, sexually immorals- when young men take away the dignity of young ladies by sleeping with them outside marriage- among others.

On the other hand, to a Christian, he is under the authority of Jesus. He/she really don't have the leverage to do anything as he/she deems fit. Paul speaking in Gal. 2:20-21 said,

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

In other word, Paul is saying I don't have the freedom to do whatever I so like because my life isn't mine any longer but Christ's. You can't for instance marry any person you so wish. You can't undertake any job you so like if indeed you want to please God. We must therefore have it clearly in our mind that our lives isn't ours. It must be owned by either Jesus Christ or devil. The only freedom we really have is that of deciding under whose lordship we will live our lives. I suggest therefore that you place your life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ because His yoke is light just as He opined in Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

LOVE MATTERS!!! 6 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WOW

One of the greatest ability that God has given to man is the ability to relate with his own kind. Though this ability isn't an exclusive reserve of mankind as animals also relate with their own kind, but that of human is usually more organize. By relationship here I mean "the way in which two people or two groups feel about each other and behave towards each other" (Longman Dictionary). But basically in this short piece I am referring to a relationship between a young man and a young woman(lady) working together toward getting married. Or a strong feelings, sense of care and concern that exist between an unmarried opposite sex.

Relationship with the opposite sex is one of the most amazing relationship among all other forms of relationship among humans. God has naturally implant something in the inside of virtually every human being with the innate desire to relate with the opposite sex. This is even irrespective of whether they are on a journey to getting married or not. It is just natural for instance, for a lecturer in a university to prefer talking to his female rather than male students even without any string attach. This innate desire begin right from the teenage stage. This natural craving is what use to lead to what is called 'boy friend/girl' friend relationship right from primary or secondary school.  While this desire is innate it's important to note that, the desire in it own self isn't anything bad because God consciously created us with such desire. Just as I pointed out in chapter one of my book "TEN ESSENTIALS FOR RISING TO THE TOP" that, human beings are creatures of desires. However, this innate desire must be carefully control in such a way as not to lead to self destruction.

I have carefully noticed right from my senior secondary school days, that this kind of relationship I am referring to in this article is responsible for so many bright individuals full of amazing potentials not reaching to their dreams in life. This is largely because both the teenagers and even the matured young people seems to be carried away by the sweetness of the relationship to the detriment of their future. It even somehow make relationship to be some kind of 'bad thing' in way. While I must confess that Godly relationship with the opposite sex is such an awesome deal, but that's only if you know how to play the game very well.

If you're in a relationship or planning to begin or even married, then this article is absolutely for you & your fiancée/fiancé. Because I will expose you to six key ways on how to make your relationship wow(amazingly sweet, fruitful, productive and profitable). Therefore, follow me closely as you grasp this wealth of ideas that will skyrocket you and that of your intended spouse to the TOP.

1. Clearly define the purpose of your relationship.

It was late Dr Myles Munroe of blessed memory that says "When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable". In other word if you don't know the purpose of a thing then it becomes certain that you will abuse it. This therefore call for the need to clearly define the purpose of your relationship. Why are you in the relationship you're? What are the values that drive your relationship? There are so many reasons why people enter into relationship with an opposite sex. Some go into relationship for economic reasons. For instance accepting to 'love' a young man or a young lady simply because she/he is financially buoyant- has a lot of money to throw around for you, is economic. That's to say the purpose of such a relationship is simply to satisfy your economic needs. Some people go into relationship on political grounds. For instance, a young man that has political ambition may like to go into relationship with a lady whose father is a well known influential politician. A lot of 'amazing' reasons abound for going into relationship. Some could even be to gain social acceptance. If all your friends are into relationship, you may find out that you need to be in one for you to flow with them. The most tragic one is the one predicated on satisfying sexual needs. In my humble opinion, the leading purpose of any  relationship should be to marry. Going into relationship on economic, political, social or sexual reasons will be disastrous because ones such desire is fulfilled, the relationship is likely to brake off. But relationship on the ground of wanting to marry is good because marriage itself is a life long journey. At this point, I must say that you need not go into any intimate relationship with the opposite sex so long as you're not ready to marry. A students in secondary school or in his early university or collage days has no need for dating/courtship. All he/she direly need is to focus on attaining academic excellence & developing sound relationship with God first.

2. Control the frequency of your communication.

As I made mentioned from the introduction, it's always nice talking to an opposite sex, particularly the one you love. The necessity for having a smooth regular communication can therefore never be overemphasized. However, this must be regulated. It isn't uncommon to find young people spending nights chatting with their boy friend/girl friend. Some don't even have time for any relevant or productive activity other than talking/chatting with their 'love'. In the mornings, afternoons, nights & in fact every time is OK for them to communicate in as much as there is air time or data in their mobile phones. Tragically sometimes this happen even in worship centers like Churches & other fellowship gatherings. It's very common to find some chatting with their 'love' when lecture/class in going on. Having no concern on whether they understand what their teachers,  or  pastors are teaching or not. Our mobile service providers 'made' this worse by providing some bonazas on calls & data.

At this point I must say that, if you want to have a fruitful relationship you have to limit the frequency of your communications. For instance you could collectively decide that you will be communicating daily within the limit of one to two hours & be disciplined enough to abide by it. Failure to this may land your relationship into the den of poverty, life failure & destruction. Limiting how much you communicate will help to make you desire each other more, let you have adequate time for your personal development, be it academically, financially, spiritually & any otherwise.

3. Developing your individual self.

To enjoy a fruitful relationship, you must individually work at developing yourselves. What happens in courtship or dating relationship & indeed any kind of relationship is separate individuals coming together to share their experiences, gifts, talents, knowledge & resources . The quality of your relationship therefore is the reflection of the quality of your individual lives. As in the word of a relationship expert "God has sent you — your faith, your gifts, and your experience — into other believers’ lives for their good". That's is to say your entire life is sent to another person to make him better. A person that's struggle with sins like lust, mastubation, prayerlessness, stealing etc & academic or business failure is likely to inject such virus to his partner. If the activities that characterize your relationship is too casual or even sinful, that simply explain your lives at an individual level. But if you develop yourself in personal prayers, Bible studies, general studies, business, academics & your general relationship with people such will naturally showcase in your courtship/dating. If you have love, respect & value for people generally, you're likely to do same to your spouse. If you're impatient as a person you're likely to be impatient in your relationship. If you're a failed person in life you're like to have a failed relationship. Therefore work at developing yourself.

4. Have a balance between romance & other self development activities.

Romance is inarguably crucial in dating/courtship. But certainly relationship must not be rooted on romance. Learn to inculcate other activities that will enhance your lives such as praying&fasting together, studying Bible and other inspirational books together & where possible invest in business together. This will build in you similar thought pattern and general world view. You will begin to think & act in the same direction. You will be having less arguments & disagreement because you're building your minds, spirits, souls & bodies together. You could decide for instance to be reading at least two books in a month together, pray & fast ones & twice in a month regularly etc. I must however state that all these are easier said than done. It requires a lot of discipline. If you base your relationship on romance you will definitely discover by the time you marry that, you need more than romance to keep the marriage going healthy. I must say here that, you need to heavily invest in knowledge acquisition together. Though this may not be that easy but is really very sweet. My fiancée & I for instance have benefit so much on this. Recently we studied a book titled "The Power & Purpose of Love & Marriage". It was too fantastic reading & discussing the book together.

5. Set a boundary for your action & inaction

Don't accept to be doing just anything your heart so desired in the relationship. You have to set limits. Should you entertain kissing, hugging, caressing, sex, etc? You have to clearly define what to do & not do. Following the precepts of God as written in His word will be a good guide on this.

"Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1Thes. 5:22

Anything that is evil or look like evil you must desist from it. Sex & caressing for instance should be a no go area. "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality..." (Eph. 5:3).

Kissing in it own self isn't a sin but it could lead you to sin. So you have to decide whether you will permit kissing or not. Asides studying Gods word, seeking for counsel from godly & matured people could help a lot.

6. Discuss your life purpose/future ambition together.

Discussing your life purpose and or future ambition will also help you have a fruitful, productive & effective relationship. This you will do by helping yourself with advice on how to achieve them.

THE BRIGHT ONES ARE NEEDED!

"It's a mistake to suppose that a dull and second-rate man is good enough for the heathen. The worst-off need the very best we have. God gave His best, even His only-begotten Son, in order to redeem a lost world. Christianity will advance over the earth with long, swift strides when the churches are ready to send their best men, and the best men are ready to go."

   - Robert Liadon in 'God's Generals, The Missionaries' pp. 191-192

In order word, the fact you're looking handsome, beautiful, intellectually bright, wealthy, rich, influential etc doesn't make you unfit for advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather it even makes you more profitable and qualified for the work. Normally, people that are extraordinarily gifted mostly believe that certain works of God's kingdom isn't theirs. Church people mostly believe for instance that, it is the academically failed ones, economically less advantaged, and socially backward ones that should become missionaries, pastors, prophets, apostles etc. The bright and opportune ones should get something "better" to do with their lives. This erroneously warped  believe left the leadership of the body of Christ in the hands of the "handicaps"- pastors and church leaders that doesn't in most cases know what they are doing- most of whom are intellectually bankrupt, economically bedridden, politically dull & ignorant that stop at nothing but deterring Christians from participating in politics, among others. These has for a long time reduced the influence of Christ in our society.

But come to think of it, who are those really fit for the Kingdom task? When God thought of rescuing the earth who did He sent? Was it one failed Angel at the backside of His Kingdom? NO! It was Jesus the Most Excellent One He sent. That's to say that, we need the bright ones in Church to step up and take responsibility in the Kingdom. It's an error indeed to leave the work of the gospel in the hands of illiterate, ignorant and poor ones. We need the academically sounds ones, the economically well placed, and the politically influential ones to fully participate in Kingdom task.

The Church is the most influential entity in the entire world, hence it most not be left in the hands of the "handicaps".

In Nigeria for instance, before, during and shortly after our independence, it was only the the academically dullards that were enrolled into the army. Because people believe no bright child should go into the army. But with the take over of power by the military juntas starting from 15th January, 1966, the military eventually became the leaders of the country in every aspects. It has almost become impossible for anyone to become a President of Nigeria without first been a retired military general- the sector that was previously despised. This to me explained the kind of inept leadership we have in the country. Because only the "failed ones" were pushed into the military and eventually the leadership of the country.

So also, in similar vain, if we allow the leadership of the Church in the hands of the inept ones, we will eventually have them leading every aspects of our lives which will result to a lot of catastrophe. Moreover, doing so mean, leaving our eternity under threat.

However, am not suggesting that, the less intelligent ones shouldn't go into ministry as missionaries, evangelists, pastors etc but that, the bright ones are also needed. The so called good ones shouldn't shy away from taking full responsibility in undertaken Kingdom task. I look forward to seeing governors, ministers, presidents serving as pastors, apostles, prophets, evangelists or even resigning their jobs to serving as missionaries where necessary. A friend to one of my friends who was the best students during his school days told his friends that God has called him to preach the gospel (pastor). His friends in great surprised responded by saying, 'you want to waste all your brilliance...'. It was like him going into ministry is a waste of his intellectual prowess. But glory be to God because there seems to be a shift now. You see first class students, PhD holders, wealthy individuals, politically placed people giving their all for Jesus and His work. There's indeed a great improvement. However, I believe more need to be done, particularly the so called Orthodox Churches. Honestly large number of some pastors, particularly among the 'Orthodox' circle, in my opinion are not knowledgeable enough both the knowledge of the Word of God and general knowledge which is also pivotal in the work. Remember that whatever you think you have is given to you by God purposely for advancing the gospel of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  You may not need to leave your studies (higher degrees), your career or any of your life pursuit necessarily but know that it's all for the singular task of;

"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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matt. 28:19-20).
