Now stand here and see the great thing the LORD is about to do. You know that it does not rain at this time of the year during the wheat harvest, I will ask the LORD to send thunder and rain today. ... So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain. And all the people were terrified of the LORD and of Samuel.
Then Moses went up the mountains, and the cloud covered it. And the glorious presence of the LORD rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from the cloud. The Israelites at the foot of the mountain saw an awesome sight. The awesome glory of the LORD on the Mountain top looked like at devouring fire. Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him. Get up and eat! He looked around and saw some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the LORD came again and touched him and said, Get up and eat some more, for there is a long journey ahead of you. So he got up and ate and drank and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. There he came to a cave, where he spent the night.
So Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, just as the LORD had said. He was buried in a valley near Beth-poer in Moab, But to this day no one knows the exact place.
As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between them, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven,
It was not long after he said this that he was taken up into the sky while they were watching and he disappeared into a cloud.
Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil! For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.
A living sacrifice
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice. The kind he will accept when you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?
Follow Gods example in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him

Dedication
I dedicate the work to Yonatan Yoni Netanyahu, the young Israeli commander of the commandoes unit that rescued the Jews held hostage at the Entebbe airport in Uganda on 4th July 1976. Even before this even, you have variously participated in different conflicts to protect and preserve Israel. You chose to fight and die for your people, forsaking all the personal and family comfort that were available to you from birth. This great Jew came in the mold of David, Samson and Jehoshaphat. You risked all, gave all to your country Gods chosen nation. May God bless your soul Yoni our hero!
I also dedicate it to my sister Lillian Chichi Duru (Née Agbo). You lived a life of Sacrifice. Your works still speak after you. You were a friend to all; ever ready to help the needy and the oppressed. You seized every opportunity to unleash your heart of kindness and love just like your parents. Yes, it runs in our blood. Thank you for being such a shining light. Generations to come will read about you in all major languages of the world. Truly, men and women of sacrifice do not die. Even when they bow out, their actions speak for generations. God bless you Chichi!
