جز الله بالخيرات عنا إماة لنا نقل القرآن عزبا وسلسالا فمنهم بدور سابعة قتوى ساطط سماء العلا والعاد لزهرا وكمالا now inshallah in this episode we're going to be speaking about the meaning of الأحرف السبعة when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم I said أنزل القرآن على سبعة أحرفين that the Quran was sent down in 7 أحرفs what did the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم mean by that before I go in to explaining the سبعة الأحرف السبعة I want to do 5 things inshallah that I believe is very important that the listeners and the viewers understand prior to commenting and explaining the views regarding الأحرف السبعة and whichever view is closest to the truth the first point that inshallah I want to clarify before going into the meaning is أن القرآن السبعة that the 7 قرآن that we have today ليست هي الأحرف السبعة that it is not the 7 أحرف the 7 قرآن that we have today with us that we hear people recite in that the Imam Ash-Shatibi mentions in his Kitab الحرز الأماني ووشو التهاني في القرآن السبعة that he talks about the 7 قرآن the 7 قرآن these 7 قرآن are not the 7 أحرف that we will be talking about and I'm going to mention 5 great imams saying this إن شاء الله تعالى يعني pointing this out the first imam is مكيم أبي الطالب رحمه الله and he said فأما من ظن أن قرآن كل واحد من هؤلاء القرآن كنافع وعاصم وأبي عمر أحد الأحرف السبعة التي نص النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فدالك منه غلط عظيم إذا يجب أن يكون ما لم يقرأ به هؤلاء السبعة متروخا مكيم أبي الطالب he said whoever believes whoever thinks أن قرآن كل واحد من هؤلاء القرآن that these 7 reciters يعني these 7 قرآن يعني and he gives an example like نافع وعاصم أبي عمر who are the 7 قرآن he said anyone who thinks that these 7 قرآن أحد الأحرف السبعة they think that each قاري represents one أحرف that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم stated in the hadith فدالك من غلط this person is mistaken because by saying that for example if you say نافع نافع's قرآن is one half عاصم one is another half أبي عمر is another half and then you count the 7 قرآن and each قاري you make it one half so what you're in essence saying is that any these 7 قرآن are the only أحرف that they are the only أحرف and anyone other than these 7 their recitations can be abandoned and left and we know the قرآن are not just 7 they are more than 7 there are 10 and I mentioned previously I will read القاسم السلام mentioned 25 قرآن in his Kitab so that's what you're saying in essence if you say that the 7 قرآن are the 7 أحرف that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم stated أبو العباس المهدوي who died at 440 this is the second Imam he says لقد فاعل مسبع السبعة ما لا ينبغي له وأشكل الأمر على العامة بإيهامه كل من قل لن نظرو أن هذه القرآن هي المذكورة في الخبر وليته إذا اقتصر نقص على السبعة أو زاد ليزيل الشبهة أبو العباس المهدوي who died at 440 he says that this issue when people thinking that the 7 قرآن are 7 أحرف he said this comes from an Imam by the name of أبو بقر ابن مجهي this mistake came from who أبو بقر ابن مجهي why? he authored a book where he called it السبعة and so people when they saw this book of his and this book was of course in قرآن they thought that the قرآن and the 7 أحرف are the same so he made this ambiguity or vagueness or even confusion come to the general mass because of his doings and then he said وليته إذا اقتصر نقص على السبعة why didn't he either reduce and make it 6 so he doesn't confuse the people or why didn't he at least add an extra one and make it 8 ليزيل الشبهة so he can remove this doubt from the hearts of the people يعني make it 8 like ابن غلبون بيت رحمه الله أبو الحسن ابن غلبون ابن غلبون هو تكتاب كود التذكرة في القراءات الثمان he made it 8 so he doesn't confuse the people the third Imam is أبو شامة المقتصر رحمه الله أبو شامر رحمه الله he said وقد ظن جماعة من ما لا خبرة له بأصول هذا العلم أن قراءات هؤلاء الأئمة السبعة هي التي عبر عنها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بقوله هو انزل القرآن على سبعة أحرف فقراءة كل واحد من هؤلاء حرف من تلك الأحرف ولقد أخطأ من نسبة إلى ابن مجاهد أنه قال ذلك أبو شاما said that a group of people who have no understanding or deep comprehension of these the science of علوم القرآن قراءات people who don't know this they thought that the seven علوم قراءات that we have today are the seven أحرف that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was referring to in the Hadith أنزل القرآن على سبعة أحرف and so what they thought was each قاري is one half of the seven that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mention and he also clarified that it's wrong on behalf of those who think that to attribute this view to أبو بكر من المجاهد said that the seven قرآن are the seven أحرف he said they are wrong and they are mistaken because all أبو بكر من المجاهد really did was he wrote a book in قرآن and he mentioned seven قرآن and it happened to be the same number as the أحرف that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned صلى الله عليه وسلم now I'm going to mention the fourth Imam is ابن الجزري رحمه الله ابن الجزري who died 833 he said it is not permissible أن يكون المراد هؤلاء هؤلاء السبعة القرآن المشهورين وإن كان يظنه بعض العوام لأن هؤلاء السبعة لم يكونوا قلقوا ولا وجدوا ابن الجزري رحمه الله he said أن يكون المراد هؤلاء السبعة القرآن المشهورين وإن كان يظنه بعض العوام it is not permissible that the intent behind the Hadith أنزل القرآن على سبعة أحروف to assume that it is referring to the famous Qur'an the seven great Qur'an that is referring to them it is a mistaken belief it's an error on the side of the person who thinks that وإن كان يظنه بعض العوام and the scholars what you tend to see is that they refer to the people who think that the Qara'at is 7 and the أحروف is 7 they refer to them as عوام they are not scholars لأن هؤلاء السبعة لم يكونوا قلقوا ولا وجدوا because if you say that the سبعة أحروف are the Qara'at 7 then when the messengers these seven Qur'an weren't even alive they weren't created yet they didn't come into existence ابن الجزري رحمه الله says the earliest of them all ابن عامر ابن عامر was the earliest they said he was born on the 21st يارده الجريه رحمه الله الامام الشاطبيه رحمه الله he said وما دمشق الشاب دار ابن عامر فتيلك بعبد الله طابط محللا الامام ابن عامر was the earliest he was the earliest he was a student of أبو درداء ربي الله تعالى the best student of أبو درداء حد in Quran was ابن عامر رحمه الله so he was the earliest and even he wasn't at the time of the Prophet ﷺ saying that the Qara'at 7 is the أحروف السبعة is a fallacy it's a mistaken belief and it's an error finally the fifth and final Imam I want to mention is none other than شيخه الإسلام ابن تيمي رحمه الله ابن تيميه he said فتبين بما ذكرناه أن القراءات المنصوبة إلى نافع وعاصم هي الأحروف السبعة التي أنزل القرآن عليها وذلك بالتفاق العلماء السلف والخلف شيخه الإسلام ابن تيميه he said it has become clear as we had mentioned أن القراءات السبعة تنافع أن عاصم هي الأحروف السبعة it is the seven when the Quran was sent down is a mistaken belief it's wrong and that is by consensus of the علماء السلف and the خلف so the scholars they excused أبو بقر ابن المجاهد for four reasons they mentioned four reasons to excuse أبو بقر ابن المجاهد in doing such a thing the first reason I mean the first excuse they gave for him was that he authored these seven قراءات in accordance to the شيوخ he took from يعني الله سبحانه وتعالى facilitated for أبو بقر ابن المجاهد to be able to take the Quran in these seven قراءات and he didn't get more and the شيوخ he received the Quran from with these seven قراءات and so the seven by the قدر الله سبحانه وتعالى happened to be the seven of the أحروف السبع so this was in accordance to his chains of قراءات it was just seven it happened to be seven and the أحروف السبع happened to be seven and that's where the قدر الله سبحانه وتعالى came about so this they say this adad is just موافق it just agreed with one another I hope that is clear these seven deliberately in accordance to the أحروف السبع he did it deliberately يعني these seven قراءات he chose them he had more than this he had more than seven so again this is contrary to the first view it's in opposition to the first view the first excuse that was given for him the second excuse is that he did it these seven because he wanted he was looking for the Prophet said seven here and he selected seven and he wasn't to say to the people that these seven are these seven but he saw the Prophet mentioned seven here and he thought why not make a قراءات and choose seven of them and he selected and he chose seven of those قراءات and authored a book in it this view and Abu-Shama said this was the reason why he did it the third excuse that the subscribers gave is or the reasoning of why he did it is that they said the the he sent it to the seven places seven cities there's a view that says it was seven and Abu Bakr ibn Mujahid what he did was he what he did was that he رحمه الله رحمة واسعة he wanted to make the قراءات in accordance to those seven that's a view that some scholars have said so again he's not in any way shape or form trying to say that قراءات السبعة and the أحرف السبعة are both the same he's not saying it in any way shape or form the fourth reason among the fourth excuse or the fourth explanation that the scholars have given and put forward is that أنه لا يؤخد عالم كبن مجاهد بفهم العالم that we can't hold Abu Bakr ibn Mujahid account for the ignorance of the general mass and say that the people understood it like this so it's your fault because of the people's understanding he's a scholar, he's an Imam he's entitled to truth whatever number he likes and it's upon the general mass and the people to study their religion and understand it so those four reasons are the قراءات the excuses that the scholars have put forward to explain his reasoning and why he did it so I've mentioned the first point that I said I wanted to go through before I go and indulge and clarify and comment on the meaning of the أحرف السبعة I've clarified one point I hope so which is that the seven قراءات are not the seven أحرف I hope I've clarified that for you all the second point I want to mention is the أحرف السبعة the أحديث that have come regarding it the أحديث that have come regarding it have reached a level in علم الحديث known as متواتر it has reached mass transmission multitude narration mass transmission it's متواتر and when we say that a حديث reaches متواتر it means that it benefits our certainty it's no longer speculation and assumption it's now based on certainty and then the حديث related to أحرف السبعة is متواتر and the scholars that mentioned that it's متواتر are a lot but I'm only going to mention three the first one is أبو ربي القاسب المسلم who died in the year 224 he said it's متواتر the second Imam I'm going to mention is أبو عمر الداني who died in the year 444 he clearly categorically stated that the حديث الأحرف السبعة have reached متواتر multitude narration mass transmission the last and final Imam that I'm going to mention which is the third is ابن القاسح who died in the year 801 he said that the حديث الأحرف السبعة متواتر the third Insha'Allah point that I want to bring to your attention before I explain what it means أحرف السبعة is this حديث الأحرف السبعة that we have and we see it's not a matter that we Muslims are hiding and that we're trying to throw a wool over the people's eyes and hide it from them it's only mentioned in private circles no books have been written on it and these books have become volumes if you bring them together their volumes their hundreds of pages thousands of pages from the Muslims it's not that orientalist and the non Muslims are the ones who brought it out I'm going to give you some books that have been written on it for you to understand that this is not something that the Muslims are hiding it's something you can research these books you can download them online and read about it and it also I want to bring to your attention is that I will not be able to go over this topic in great details as I would love to the reason because it's thousands of books we're talking about hundreds of books that have been written on it I will say to you there is not a book that talks about ألوم القرآن except there is a chapter in it that speaks about الأحرف السبعة every book but I'm not mentioning those books I'm mentioning books that have specifically been written on just ألحرف السبعة and if I count and I mention the other books that have in their chapters related to ألحرف السبعة then I will mention بخاري which brings it مسلم, أبي داوي, ترميدي, من ماجل مسائي, مسلم أحمد, مسلم الطياليسي what do you call it مسلم أفبن أبي شيب I will mention all of the دواوين السنة because all of them state the Hadith but I'm talking about books that have been specifically been written on it the first one is أبو عبيت الغاسم من السلام he has a book on the ألحرف السبعة ابن قطيبة رحمه الله who died a year 270 6 هجريات he has a Kitab on ألحرف السبعة we have أبو الفضر أروازيو who died a year 454 هجريات he has a Kitab on ألحرف السبعة أبو شامة المقدسي he has written a book on ألحرف السبعة الإمام الجزري الإمام ابن الجزري الإمام ابن الجزري الرحمه الله he has a Kitab on ألحرف السبعة الشيخ محمد بخيط المطيع who died a year 1354 هجريات has a written a book on it these are all the متقدمين the early people the early scholars let me now mention some of those who are still alive and recent books that have been written on it الدكتور عبد العزيز القاري who is the عميد كلية الحديث I think إنجامة أسلامية he has written a book on it الدكتور حسن ضياء الدين عتر he has a research رسالة علمية he has written onول شيء يتِّأخرureme من يف lijول المم miteinander أ رZein sesi حكاية من يفرق حكاية إن молод وحكاية إن م用 بشكل جيد عشان صراحة مو� كافة ويجب أن يكون هناك مجموعة جديدة لتذهب أكثر ونقرأ about it إن شاء الله الثالث هي الخلاف هناك اختلاف عن الحروف السبع، نعم نحن نقل هناك هناك خلاف، هناك اختلاف عن الحروف السبع، المجموعة ليس جميلة المسلمين لديوا مختلف في هذا السؤال سأتكلم بعض الأمام يتكلم هذا الأمام ابن العربي رحمه الله المالكي، المجموعة المالكي قال لم يأتي في معنى هذه السبع هذه السبع الأحروف السبع الأحروف السبع لديهم قال نصن ولا أثر لا يوجد تكشف أو أي حروف أو أي حروف أو أي حروف يتكلم لنا what this أحروف السبع لا واختلاف الناس في تعيينها وانا لها السكول يختلف عنها لأنه لا يوجد نص ونحن لا يوجد أثر اختلاف عن الحروف سأتكلم إن شاء الله هناك اشياء هناك اشياء لماذا هذا السؤال هناك اشياء واحدهم إبن العربي فقط قلت وهذا لا يوجد نص ونحن لا يوجد أثر في هذه السؤال أذكرنا المسلمين عندما نتكلم عن ماتا ما نتكلم نقول إذا نتكلم وما اختلفتم فيه من شيء فحكمه إلى الله إذا إذا تتكلم على one another في ماتا فالله المسجد سأتكلم الله يقول يا إله إذا تتكلم فإن تلازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر إذا كنتم تتكلم في ماتا وكنتم تتكلم في ماتا نحن تتكلم لنعود إلى القرآن في السنة لذلك هذه الأحروف السبعة لا يوجد نص أو أثر لنعود هذا why the difference of opinion okay that's one reason the second reason why I'm going to mention إن شاء الله تعالى the second reason why there is a difference of opinion ألمام جلال الدين الصيوطي he said this حديث الأحروف السبعة he said there is a difference of opinion regarding it على نحو من أربعين قول 40 views يعني الصيوطي جلال الدين الصيوطي he researched and he observed and he looked and he looked he said there are 40 views regarding الأحروف السبعة ملأ علي قاري came and what did he do he made it after الصيوطي he came he made it how many views he made it 41 views so he added an extra view on to the issue يبنو حبان what did he say he said اختلف أهل العلم في معنى الأحروف السبعة على 5 و 30 قولا يبنو حبان at least time there was 35 views صيوطي he said it's 40 ملأ علي قاري came he made it 41 this issue has become so disagreed upon that ابنو الجزري إيمام هذا الفن the imam of this field what did he say رحمه الله he said ما زلت أستشكل هذا الحديث و أفكر فيه و أمع النظر من نيف و 30 سنة حتى فتح الله جزري رحمه الله this and it's become very vague and ambiguous he said I thought about it I ponded over it I contemplated over it I looked at it multiple times he said for how long 30-something years I've been looking at after that what did he say حتى فتح الله بما يمكن أن يكون صواب ان شاء الله . هذا ما أتمنى . أتمنى أنه سيكون بشكل صحيح . إبنه تايمة رحمه الله يأتي بعد ذلك . الشيخ الإسلام إبنه تايمية . هادي مسألة كبيرة . this first of all بلا حرف السبعة is a very very complicated issue . تكلم إذا ما فيها أصلاف العلماء . many scholars have spoken about it . have discussed it . he said من الفقهاء the scholars والقراء and the scholars of قراءات و أهل الحديث والكلام and the scholars of حديث and the scholars of علم الكلام و شرح الغريب وغيرهم and the scholars who've looked at strange words يعني غريب الألفام . يعني this word is strange what does it mean . he said the فقهاء looked at this حديث . the قراء looked at this حديث . the أهل الحديث they looked at this حديث . أهل الكلام they looked at this حديث . the scholars of the language who the dictionaries they also try to look at this حديث . all of these people looked at it . it was a matter that all of the sciences did not hold back everybody threw what they could say about it . this by the way brothers and sisters shows us something very important which is our scholars their sincerity and their honesty if they didn't know something they would say I don't know . it also shows us how they didn't hold back in trying to look at the حديث and understand it and digest it . number five this point I think is very important that every single person understands this which is after I mentioned the difference of opinion some of you might be taken back and say wow you just mentioned Ibn Jassari you just mentioned General of the Necessity you mentioned Ibn Arab you mentioned Ibn Haban you mentioned Ibn Taymiah you like if these people were saying that this is complicated how would you be able to give us the strongest opinion and how will this ever be resolved what I want to say to you brothers and sisters who are watching who are viewing this episode is that the أمبيوتي ومعرفة في الحديث عن هذه الحديث لا يوجد شيء to do with the preservation. لا يوجد شيء to do with the preservation of the Qur'an. يوجد شيء to do with the meaning of this حديث and what is understood from it. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. None of those imams that I mentioned looked at this حديث and said I'm questioning the preservation of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is not preserved because of the fact that this حديث is understood properly or the confusion in this حديث because of it. I believe the Qur'an is not preserved. None of them said that. They said the confusion is regarding what this حديث means. I also want to say to you brothers and sisters that the صحابة knew what it meant. The صحابة رضوان الله العليم أجمعين. They knew what it meant because the حديث I mentioned to you as موطواتر. Multi-tune narration. When عمر ربي الله وعنه and the مخاصمة the dispute argumentation that took place between عمر ربي الله وعنه and هشامل حكيم and the Prophet ﷺ told them both that the Qur'an came down in seven أحروف. It was to judge between the two of them. That what you read is right and what you read it was right. And then the Messenger ﷺ told him that the Qur'an was sent down in seven أحروف. عمر understood that what seven meant. And هشامل حكيم understood it. Because the Prophet ﷺ was judging between the two of them. If they didn't understand عمر ربي الله وعنه said يا رسول الله I don't know how that works. هشام is reading it wrong. You said they're seven أحروف. What do you mean by seven أحروف? عمر ربي الله وعنه asked if he didn't understand. هشامل حكيم would have asked if he didn't understand. Rather, if you look at the narration ألمان محمد mentioned in his Musnad that أبي ربي الله وعنه he heard a recitation being recited. It confused him. He started to have a doubt. And the Messenger ﷺ after that told أبي ربي الله وعنه after that he told him أبي the Qur'an has been sent down in seven أحروف. أبي ربي الله وعنه the doubt that was in his heart left. When the Prophet ﷺ hit him in the chest, the doubt left his heart. أبي was told that this different recitation you're hearing is all from Allah سبحانه وتعالى. It's the seven أحروف. أبي didn't look at the Prophet ﷺ and said يا رسول الله I'm still confused. I don't know what you're saying. He understood what the Messenger ﷺ was saying. Because the Prophet ﷺ said that he didn't understand. And the Messenger ﷺ was saying. Because the صحابة رضوان الله علي مجمعين. Many of the Ahadith what we see from them is that when the Messenger ﷺ said something they said يا رسول الله what is this? They questioned him. They asked him in order to know more. The people who the ambiguity came to and were not able to understand what the الأحروف السبعة meant is those who came after the Sahabas. They were the ones who became confused by it. And didn't understand it. I already mentioned to you one reason why they didn't understand. The people came after they didn't understand it. Because there is no narration. There is no narration. What the أحروف السبعة means. There is no narration. And this is another thing. Why did the Sahabas not transmit something? Because the Ahadith I just said is موتا واتر بلطة ناريشن. Why did not one companion say This is what's meant by it. The reason why they didn't is because it was known by necessity. It was something that was well known. They didn't think it required explanation. And I'm going to insha'Allah تعالى expand on that more when we go into the meaning of الأحروف السبعة. Those five points keep it in your mind. As we go through the views that are out there things will become clear insha'Allah. تعالى for you. I'm going to stop here for now. And I'll see you guys in the next episode. بذن الله الكريم. رزاكم الله خيرًا فلسن و بارك الله فيكم. السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و باركاته.

The study analyzes sea ice conditions and navigability along four typical routes of the Northeast Passage using remote sensing data from 1979 to 2019, and finds that the annually averaged sea ice concentration has decreased over the past 41 years, with the fastest rate of decrease occurring in the Kara Sea. The study also shows that air temperature is becoming a significant driving force of melting ice in these routes, while surface winds are crucial for navigability in certain areas.

All right, Cyber Traders, welcome on back here this Tuesday afternoon, shortly after 2.30 p.m. Eastern. Great to see all of our students and members alike. Finally out on Wisa here. Looks like finally just took me out here beginning to break a little bit lower, or it seems like it wants to. So let me just get a quick sound check just to begin, make sure everyone can hear me loud and clear. Have Leda with us just before I had Suzy. Wendy just a moment ago, Roger at Brent Abdul and all of our students and members alike. Now Charles, I was just chatting with him a moment ago. He did pretty nicely just before Wisa. Grant, Bob, great to see him. One of our new members, it seems like. And that said here, I mean, hey, for this stock, Wisa, the whole market's pulling back. And we'll talk about the S&P, just the markets alike in just a moment. But A, it goes to show that not every stock is going to follow the market. There's stocks that are going to move on their own accord, on their own news. In this case, I think that there was some news out on this Wisa trader earlier today. But as we learned in Traders Talk, this was more of just a short squeeze than anything. The stock has been reversed split over and over. So, you know, it's even possible. This might even make one more pop heading into the afternoon. But at this stage, if it's not flipping resistance into support, right? That's the whole key to what we were just talking about in our live workshop earlier today. So if you missed that on that, pretty much, just, you know, we have that on recording as a trial member. I know that we'll be doing a bit of an introductory webinar coming up this Thursday. I believe Fausto and myself, as far as new trial members joining our room, just, you know, knowing what it's like to be a member and just kind of everything that's included, just a little bit easier to onboard you. But now that's where we could tell you, well, hey, for resistance to not get flipped into support, if we're not going to see the stock play by our rules, then you'd better make sure you get out. You know, look what I wrote here 127 earlier. I'm just kind of reposting it for like Roger, Wendy, Laurence, all of our students here. Said Wisa needs to flip seven from resistance to support, then do the same with 762. Went right up to 762. It was a strong rejection and then ever since it never went back up there. So even now at this point, I actually just pulled back down towards my next support line, but I'm not trying to hang on for, you know, any longer than if anything's breakeven or even just slightly profit there. So, you know, this was a phenomenal push from earlier today, was able to get half out right off of like 825. And then from now at this point, we'll see if this can make one more pop, but here's the thing. You stocks are not going to move up forever, right? We know that we went over that earlier, but if there's one stock that's up like 300, 400% oftentimes you'll tend to get, you know, other groups of traders to try and pump up the next stock, the next trade. So, you know, I'll add this to our list, but I'm hoping to see even like, you know, some other stock that can move just in a moment here. Maybe something that we haven't even looked at just yet because outside of Wisa really here throughout the afternoon, things a little slow. You know, we were calling that AMC, AMC Movie Theater just earlier. That actually had a pretty decent day against the market there. But looking at the spy right now, just something I want to show pretty quickly. Actually, let's see if I can just make it easy on my own computer here. There we go, so my platform doesn't crash. Basically the spy, you were talking about this earlier just in our workshop over the last couple of weeks at this now at this point. So, we have a gap fill opportunity and the lower we go and the more likely, the more likely that we are to fill said gap. Back from the end of February here, pretty much encroaching it right now. I mean, really I'd say a full fill would be down towards like 498, 497, even as much as, I don't know if we'll get that low, but you know, we were calling this out over the last week. So, at least with the way the spies looking here heading into the early to mid-afternoon now, you know, popped up before, but then it just slammed right back down. It was a rejection. So, you know, it seems more and more likely we're gonna get the test down to 500, perhaps. That's all. So, we'll see if there's any good shorts that we could work with here heading into the afternoon or maybe otherwise a stack of like Visa, you know, another crazy or so, as we had said, that can make a bit of a mover to here so far. So, let's go from the gainers to losers list right now. So, we got Visa here again on needs to hold this support line, basically 565-ish, 560. But mostly a lot of trades look like this, right? Look at the upwick here on SXTC. That's crazy. So, in a pop drop, they normally don't make a second wind type of move that's worth our time at least. So, yeah, we'll pass on the trade. We're probably passing a lot of trades that look like that. Now, Jeff was asking for GOEV, asking for support. Well, that was a nice run from earlier today. We did go over that in our workshop also earlier this morning. You know, if Alisto was head on with that stack, it was a perfect call out right before 1030 as we finished up our commentary. It's all about teamwork, right? So, that was like not really too active at all prior than all of a sudden he caught it and it was a great trade from there. You know, the Visa was the one that I was on. And then on top of myself and Fausta, there's like, you know, over extremely successful students. Of course, I'm not speaking to Jeff because Jeff is one of those students. He makes some great call outs himself. I'll check out Visa or I'll check out a GOEV as he had mentioned in just a bit. But plenty of us in our room. You know, I see calls from you folks all the time, let's look at that trade. So, with that said, Jeff asking for support. Here's the thing on this one though, we were looking for this earlier here off of 275 or 280ish, whatever this was. 285, 288, I think that we said. Past iceberg resistance there, right? So you figure flip into support. I, you know what? It's tradable. It has a good spread, good order book. Doesn't hurt us to put this on our watch list, right? It was a great trade from earlier today. But normally though, this is where I'll say, let's just come back to this at the end of this meeting. Let's just go another like five, 10, 15 minutes here if we may and see if there's anything looking even better, something at the highs right now perhaps or maybe a short. So a coin base down big earlier today, and Bitcoin took a bit of a hit. So, you know, it's not getting crushed and say right now as long as we're holding over like 60,000, 59,000, at least we're looking pretty good. We're going right into the habit. So for any of my crypto heads out there, well, pretty much it's to say that like, this is the strongest Bitcoin has been going into a having event that's every four years. So, you know, it's like very close to all-time highs though. It's a little profit taking beforehand, perhaps. Maybe market makers trying to stop and liquidate traders out on crypto. That's always doable. But I would think that we'll get a balance on coin base over time soon. Perhaps in line with that spy gap fill, right? And I could always play out pretty synonymous. Enough kind of just yapping here right now. I've been going across this gainer side here. There's not much else that's looking too good, right? So, Peabody, BTU, this is actually looking pretty decent up four plus percent. The stock we've done well on in the past, right? I could add it to our list for now, but I don't know if this is gonna make that big like dollar, $2 run that you'd wanna see. It may be like, you know, it's been steady, decent trade, can't complain with, you know, what it's done so far. All right, we're kind of dipping below 5% already at this point, right? OSCR here, Oscar, you know, nice morning, it's stolen out now. Lunar, you know, familiar name just with the space launch. Not terrible, not a terrible chart this is making. And then also AMC like we had brought up before. This one's a lot slower. So if I'm comparing the two, I'd rather actually slip the Lunar trade on our watch list in hopes of a run. Kind of like that there a little bit. So yeah, we got Riga Tony, Riga Tony Alba, RGTI Righetti computer being at the stock. So it's like a one of those quantum computing companies. We traded this with QS in the past, neither are really doing too much. So I'm gonna pass on both. I'll come back to that Go Web trade again, like we had said if we need to, but let's hop over to the loser side. Maybe there is a good short. Let's see if Coinbase is still dropping off at the time being. ACB, Jesus, I got smacked. Hey, AVL, not a surprise. This one got smacked. What goes up comes back down. That stayed pretty much. Indo, same thing there. A lot of those energy companies, ETUs doing good, but the other energy companies are probably different subsector there, but yeah, CONL's the Coinbase ETF. So let's take a look at Coinbase potential short to work with on this one. Not looking too good. It's just down percentage-wise, that's all. If it was closer to the lows, much like the stocks on the gainers that are closer to the highs, that's one thing. But I'll tell you, I mean, hey, we're beginning the new wave of earnings season. We'll definitely talk about that more as we resume the audio commentary coming up. This will be later on, but we'll post the earnings calendar and we'll go over at least what's ahead for this afternoon, tomorrow and whatnot. But I think that we just did a pretty good job scanning and I only have three stocks to work with. Let's just go back to Go Web and we'll probably slip that on our list at this point, Jeff. Little process of elimination, right? That's all we had to do there. So we'll kind of slip it on our list now. GOEV doesn't hurt. What else we got? Anything else looking good on YouTube? Facebook Live, et cetera. Jeff says, yeah, let Go Web trade. Thinking of a new support is 280. I mean, for me, these were past iceberg levels. So as long as it's holding above this over time, you're looking decent and the fact it's just tradable. We'll give it a shot. We did well on it earlier and honestly for the last few weeks we did pretty well on the stock. So kind of a familiar name. All right, see if there's anything else looking just as good though. Lagavoon, long ever in this stock. Not too big of a fan of the order book but it's definitely moving better today than it was doing yesterday. So I'll kind of slip this to the back end of our watch list right now. LGVN, Bob saying thoughts on TRV into earnings tomorrow. So I'm not familiar with TRV, Traverse Companies. Let's look at the long-term chart. I don't know anything about their financials. So as far as like day trading that we can give you like different iceberg levels to work off of come tomorrow morning. As far as just like a historical level to work off of here if you're looking for like potential support to work off of. Well, company's been pretty damn strong of late. So yeah, I mean, if there was just bad earnings, lower guidance wouldn't shock me if you end up getting like a pretty deep drop. I mean, to get down to 200 would be 10% drop a little bit more. So that's not too far-fetched for bad earnings, for bad earnings report, lower guidance, if that. Again, I don't know the first thing about this company. So I'm just drawing up a complete hypothetical but otherwise if they have good earnings it's on a solid chart. So you're right where you want it to be as far as like, if they deliver pretty good going into tomorrow, Bob. But yeah, that's as much as I can give you, unfortunately I wish I can give you a more fluid answer or more concrete answer about it. More informative answer, how about that? All right, so I think that's just about it folks. Not a whole lot to work with really. Lace, I'm gonna pass on this straight for now. Bad spread, not a bad move from earlier this morning but BSGM, yeah, if I'm working on recommendations like this, I think that we're pretty much all settled. That's kind of our cue. So hey, for the meantime, I'd like to keep it simple here folks, right? I always say that one of the differences between Fausto and myself is that exactly that. I see the opportunity in a lot of trades and sometimes I'll put out a watch list that's pretty big and 10, 12 seconds. And Fausto could do that at times too but he does a better job at keeping it simple. And today we kept it pretty simple myself here. So about five stocks to work with altogether. If the market ends up pulling back a little bit more there could be some shorts to work with. But I know otherwise, hey, I'll jump back on the mic going into three o'clock, probably 305. I'll be back on for Bob and Jeff and Kathleen, Charles, Brent and all of our students here coming up, all right? But best of luck trading going to the market clothes on all of a sudden social media, hey, let me just post this up as always here at the end to add cyber trading you if you're not following just yet, what are you waiting for?

Deck. Teams use the Deck Project Management app in NextCloud to collaborate efficiently. Deck works with boards, as you can see on the left. I have my private board, a board with the tasks shared in my team, and a project-specific board. You can easily create a card by using the plus and typing the description of what needs to be done. Then, set details like who works on it and the due date. You can attach files by drag and drop, selection, or sharing directly to a task from the NextCloud files app. You can also leave comments and track what happened to a task in the timeline. When you start working on a task, you can move it to another stack, but you can also move a card to another board. And if you need to make sure your colleagues ignore the notification when you assign the task, you can share it into your team chat.


Today I'm standing outside a 13.5 million rand four bed six bathroom three garages Absolute feast for your eyes right here in Cenderwood Bedford View the interiors designed by Stefan Rich and George Zaharst Come with me as I take you through this Avangard masterpiece. My name is Chad Viveros This is the private property home shopper's show. Welcome home Coming through these glass double doors We find ourselves in an entrance hall that doubles as a dining room area And it is in a spectacular place to be above me a skylight and then draping down from that skylight You find this Avangard chandelier that is such a statement piece coming through those glass doors Surrounding it on the upper level is a glass enclosed walkway They're gonna show you a little bit later, but take a look at this dining room table It must be one of the biggest dining room tables we featured on the show 14-seater 16 at a pinch if we take these chairs on either side as double chairs But it is absolutely massive really cool statement piece, and then I'm sure you guys have noticed Ho ho ho merry Christmas. We've got a huge Christmas tree just to my left So you guys know that most of this house is not only gonna be decked out incredibly in terms of interior design But we can have those added touches of that Christmas feel now coming off into this spectacular kitchen Center Island right here and another absolutely incredibly large center island Iceberg marble is what this island is made out of again We've got these arty chandeliers or drop-down lights hanging from the bulkhead ceiling This center island is slightly different from ones we've seen before you've got your stovetop integrated in it Industrial extractor just above and then right over here chef's sink integrated in your center island What center island is complete without a chef's sink more of that you'll find the design element of windows Reflected on the other side of the kitchen both above and below all the storage spaces you can see how much storage space there is I love how bright the kitchen is I love how much natural light it is then in kitchens We've got a talk appliances We've got two ovens one of them being a steam oven We've got an integrated coffee machine like I said the sink over here and another really cool gadget We've only seen a couple of times is this water dispenser right here instant boiling or chilled water So all you water fans or your tea fans, you know you're taking care of with that But take a look at all of the storage space and then framed behind it with that glass window letting in all that light And also give me a view of the stunning greenery in the wraparound garden coming into the back of the kitchen You find yourself in the scullery area. This is where all the business happens You've got under counter storage for all your appliances both on my right as well as on my left-hand side We've got a game continuation of that marble countertop and a double sink this time adjustable faucets Let me not bang that about too hard and then over here your pantry area That's framed with this frosted glass allowing you to close it off if you've shift all these panels giving you a nice clean look But also being a very functional space and this house has got a lot of functional spaces Then behind this door you'll find your servants quarters a Beautifully equipped a bathroom and then down this flight to stairs is your garage area We'll show you in some cutaways here right now three car garage Pleasure space some of that space is being currently utilized as a gym area So it is nice to know that if you're into your fitness, that's taken care of with all that garage space Now this home being located in bed review has easy access to some of the most upmarket schools in kiting You've got Saheti st. Andrews as well as King David just around the corner But yeah, we are your first I'd say a formal sitting room area And it has to be formal for one reason or one reason only is take a look at this Fantastic grand piano right here in the corner behind it It's framed by that beautiful window again looking out into the garden But this is really where those design elements coming to play so beautifully You can see this home is it being designed in the interior has really been kept front of mind when doing all of this We've got this inbuilt wall unit right here with all the back lighting through the different squares and panels It looks stunning beautiful cream matches the area rug above us You'll see Intermittently not only air conditioning but also surround sound system that's controlled from a central panel So you've got music no matter where you go and one place you're gonna need music is your bar area What a cool space. I love that. It's indoor and outdoor again You've got that beautiful white Ceasar stone countertops again another chef's sink right over here Stunning faucets on display. I think every single Fitment you'll see throughout the house really is top-notch All along this area are your fridges as well as your ice maker and then on this side again another really really RT wall unit place for you to store all your wine and then this massive LCD television right there in the center, so if you're watching sports enjoying a drink This is exactly where you're gonna want to do it again dotted in different areas You're gonna find your speaker system and then this area right here You've got those stackable frosted and insulated windows and doors that fold all the way up and enclose you from that outdoor space Now coming out from the bar before I leave it one last thing I need to mention is that this whole strip of bar is illuminated You can't really see it right now with the lighting But it's got lights in it really cool really fun little area to relaxing and then we come to this spot right here And what could I call this? This is the lounging area the relaxing area the Sociable area the reason being is it stuck between the bar and that area right there that we're gonna get to in a Moment, but plenty of space above us for speaker systems dotting the ceiling and this bulkhead ceiling has illumination Lining it all the way around so it catches your eye regardless of where you might be entering this home from or this area from Love how larger is love how much space there is two air conditioning units Just in front of these Frameless glass doors that come all the way over and turn your garden into a work of art when closed But when opened I mean guys how stunning is that I'd have to say that massive feature wall just on the other side of the pool It's incredible. We're gonna get to that in a moment But what I really like about this area is right here behind these sliding walnut panels or might be cedarwood panels Beautiful panels will show you an insert of what it looks like when this area is all closed up But behind them is what you see right now We've got a gas fry a teppanyaki area But the gas fry can also be turned into a charcoal briar and on the inside of here is another set of Industrial extractor fans so you can briar with us all closed or you can open it up and really turn this into an entertainer's specifically with the music dotted up, but when it's not in use you never need to worry about it Subtracting from just how incredible this interior is because we'll close this all up And you'll see what it'll look like nice and clean shots underneath two warming drawers You never need to worry about when you're gonna eat because this house has got you covered So right now where I'm standing is the Pagole area, but let's talk about this wall one last time We've got this beautiful Rusted metal that gives such a tactile feel and then it's broken up with where the succulents are recessed into this wall The green the brown looks absolutely incredible and now with these frameless glass doors that separate your house From your outdoor area it really does turn this into an absolute work of art as soon as I walked into this home And I saw that my eyes were immediately drawn to the outdoor area So I love what they've done there. We've got more greenery in this whole section over there including over there Shade netting, stunning chandeliers, plenty of space here You can see this outdoor dining room table fits easily and right over here We've got some lava rocks that makes up our first outdoor Fireplace and one of the four fireplaces you'll find within this home We'll show you the rest as we continue journeying around it, but I love the wood I love the fact that you've got a place to sit here and enjoy your outdoor area in the shade But on a cold winter night you can put that on get nice and warm feel nice and cozy and enjoy an outdoor dinner Right over here. We've got the first bathroom and the first guest bathroom We're going to be showing you so let me take a look inside you guys can come with me Let's talk about it. Your guest bathroom comes with some cupboard space You've got a single vanity freestanding base and under counter storage and then your hidden system toilet tucked away right next to that Then coming out of your bathroom turning right You'll find yourself in a lash garden area on wooddecking and right in front of you will be an outdoor shower For you to enjoy it not only outside but also in privacy, which I think is very very important Beautiful shower head just above it rainfall shower head so you can wash off just after enjoying the heated pool now heading back inside We've got a couple of things to touch off on the ground floor level before we move upstairs and take a look at the bedrooms The first is this informal lounge area This is probably where you can be spending most of your time watching TV again We've got a feature wall that not only goes up behind me But across the whole ceiling again bulkhead ceiling with recessed light And we've got windows both there and behind me letting in some natural light and you can put your couch I'll shape couch in the corner making it feel really cozy making you feel tucked away From the rest of the home and being able to enjoy yourself while enjoying a movie But we mentioned fireplaces and again You've got another gas fireplace right here in the corner making up the second of the four fireplaces within this home Now once we've talked about the TV room the other thing we need to mention is we've got a huge storage closet Just you are my left beautiful marble stairs heading all the way upstairs and we're gonna go there in a moment But behind me another guest bathroom. Let's take a look at it coming into your guest bathroom You're greeted by a one-of-the-kind vanity area You've got wood backing with recessed mirror just behind it and a tap that doesn't start from the basin But in fact from the ceiling itself coming all the way down as one long chrome pole And then that water falls from it into that cool looking base And you've got stunning wallpaper all the way around and then in the one corner again another toilet Hidden system and then plenty of windows letting in lots of natural light But all of them being frosted coming out of the toilet on your right hand side You'll find an office space this office space is framed on one wall with windows letting in natural light And then it has shelving as well as cupboards and building above you've got another one of those unique chandeliers You've also got plenty of downlights and air con to keep you cool while you're doing all that important work Then talking about lighting each and every one of these marble steps are individually lit on the left hand side of the steps Acting as a balustrade is a frameless piece of gloss running all the way up Love how that's been developed and implemented in this home But another thing that you have to mention is this right here floor to ceiling window space and just behind it You've got all that greenery acting again as an odd piece But let's journey on up and here we are on the top level now coming through this entryway right over here You'll notice the recess and that makes way for the security system drops down Completely sealing you off from the downstairs area But again, we're in a incredibly secure area with not only beams security and alarm system But also with guards at the front gates so you know you're never really gonna need to worry about security But how cool is this upstairs area instead of balustrade or railings? We've got floor to ceiling drop-down glass except if you possibly drop a phone It's gonna drop a floor all the way down because there are gaps, but I love the design element I love our openness looks, but let's start right over here first bedroom And we're gonna journey all the way around until we find ourselves right over there on the other side in the creme de la creme The master suite take a look and here we are within the first bedroom in the smallest of the four We're gonna find upstairs, but it is still quite a large and spacious bedroom on this side is all your cupboard space A beautiful white mixed with the wood elements below It's kind of a common theme for design in this home above us air-con position just above the bed Plenty of space here for bed as well as whatever else you would like to mix into this room Windows right over there are not only tinted but also insulated so you know you're getting privacy But still just the right amount of light and then an en suite bathroom leading off right here Stunning Victorian Albert bathtub all the bath tubs throughout the home Victorian Albert over here We've got your floating vanity standalone sink beautiful taps mirrors right around take a look at this How the gloss has been angled on each side giving you I just making this place feel cooler making it feel unique We've got a toilet tucked away hidden system soft-clothes seats and then rain for Shahid right over here Beautiful tiling right around that makes up this en suite bathroom, but this is only one or four Let's take a look at the rest and Next up isn't even a bedroom This is your indoor cinema area and here is your indoor cinema room just off the staircase Pitch black all the way around blackout curtains 4k Epson projector just above me and in front of me.

Oh Throw a drink in and just enjoy yourself while you watch some some movies on the big screen behind me You've got a superhero center right there so you can put some design elements and then all the way around surround sound Really must be a nice place to kick back and enjoy some movies But we've got a lot more to explore so let's leave the cinema room And let's take a look at the next bedroom located just around the corner And here you are within the second bedroom of this incredible home And the first thing you'll notice is how the design element has completely shifted from what we've seen before Yeah, plenty of wood plenty of mirror We've got this divider over here that turns one side of the room Into a bedroom and the other side into a study area beautiful glossy white countertops Mirrors lining each and every one of the cupboards and this does form part of what I'd have to say you're walking closet above us Bulkhead ceiling beautiful drop-down lights air-conditioning and then right over here is your bedroom TV Send mounted front and center so you know all your connection points are just behind that Windows on both sides again tinted and frosted and space for this absolutely Gigantic bed right here love how this room's been designed But what makes it really cool is not just this hanging chair and definitely not just the fact that half the wall is Frosted glass that would separate your ensuite bathroom to the rest of the bedroom What makes it so cool is just how bright airy and Functional this bedroom is right behind me is your walk-in bathroom We've got a huge mirror taken up the majority of the space under counter storage floating basin beautiful faucets Victoria and Albert floating bath tub right here in the corner with these windows of here letting you enjoy the outside air and the outside Like but recessed into the wall on the left hand side is another one of those rainfall showers Gloss door opens up for you to step in and enjoy Probably one of the best shards of your life, but that sums up the second bedroom So let's head on out is go across the walkway and take a look at the third So coming out of this bedroom we go along this beautiful pathway Now yeah, we are within the third bedroom of the four located upstairs just before the creme de la creme The first thing we need to talk about is two frosted sliding doors Separating your walk-in closet area from the rest of the bedroom.

Friends, you are all students with exceptional abilities. After all, you pass one of the toughest exam, the GEE, at the age of 17, 18, and then you came to IIT. But there are two things that will enhance your ability even more. One is flexibility. Other is humility. By flexibility, I refer to the possibility to stand out and fit in. At no point of your life must you shed your identity. Never be a light version of someone or something. Be the original version. Champion whatever values you believe in at the same time. Never hesitate from fitting into a team. Individual efforts have their limits. The way ahead lies in teamwork. Teamwork brings completeness. The second is humility.  Very few people have done what you have. This will make you even more down to earth. Friends, it is important that one keeps challenging oneself and continues to learn each day. It is also important that you treat yourself as a student for life. Never think that what you know is enough. In our scriptures it is said, sattam gyanam anantam brahma. That means, knowledge and truth are infinite like Brahma. All the new innovations you do are all based on the knowledge of truth. That is why, for your innovation, for the nation, for the residents, for the poor, for the native, there is no other way.


You know the thing with failure is that you never know why you're losing or why this is happening to you Until you look back at it. I've watched a lot of Jack Ma interviews and You know, there's a specific clip that I saw That maybe was like in the early 90s where he he for some reason He'd like to videotape everything like from the early meetings that he had and he was kind of pitching this idea about Ali Baba and Taobao to people that were not internet savvy and you can tell there was a lot of question marks and a lot of the staffs face but you know That man has gone through so much failure that he talks about openly about how he applied to KFC And he got rejected and how he applied to all types of different jobs and he got rejected and he is one of the most Biggest leaders and the forefront of our movement of this generation And I think that you look at that and you look at Steve Jobs How he got kicked out of his own company. Can you imagine like how crazy that must have felt and Then just to come back and rejoin it years later and create the best gadget of the world the iPhone or Elon Musk, you know where he's still operating maybe the company at a loss, but he's making you know Moves for mankind with sustainable energy and renewable energy and rockets in the moon. So I think that You know, my failure is probably not as big as theirs But I do remember when I first, you know, organized Kanye West and concert in Hong Kong And I really wanted to do it for the society and like oh, I'm this is my opportunity to bring music or hip-hop To a wider audience and at the end, you know The project lost money and I was like, ah, like how could this be because I spent so much time and effort Into doing this But it just wasn't as ideal on ticket sales as I wanted it to be and you know You could take failure one or two ways You can either just close up and just close up shop or you can continue and use that as momentum for your next project and just like Really kind of I mean, I I don't know why I'm using all these video game references But you know, I think that that applies to kids is that you know, if you play a game You don't expect to win the first time, right? You have to die like 20 times to actually win So with that, you know, if you like what you're doing just keep on doing it Being able to find your own niche is interesting And you know, I remember Steve Jobs said something is that you can never really connect the dots looking forward You can only connect the dots looking backwards. I know a lot of people that overthink Before they do something and they're like, ah, what if this happens and what if this happens and But what if you don't start and if you don't start nothing will happen So I think that when you're young you have the quality of you have the benefit of time because even if you make mistakes You still have time


So we see in the scripture that she is about to let them go and They make this promise at first. This seems a very good promise. This is what you would do if somebody is helping you They're climbing down out of her window on a rope the Bible calls it a scarlet rope Scarlet red collar as about there's they're about to get down there They're making her a promise.   Because the Bible says her house was in the wall Not in the city So imagine the dilemma you're making a promise. Yeah, we will attack the city will keep you safe Oops, I forgot we don't know how to attack the city. God will do that and well, we got to let him know your address That's one of the reasons why I believe prophetically they did not even know what they were doing when they were telling her Leave the scarlet out of the window not for us for him Because it's he who will destroy your city The number one lesson I want us to learn from today is the blood of Jesus Protects us from the wrath of Jehovah But the real salvation is when you and I are saved by God from God Now it may sound weird. It may sound strange Why would God save us from himself does God has a bad cup good cup day kind of deal Where he cannot figure out what he wants to do whether he wants to be loving or wants to be holy But actuality the Bible says that we are saved from the wrath of God Many times when we read the Bible when we read the Old Testament and we see the holiness of God being so Exemplified and we come to the New Testament and we feel like that kid in a story who came to his parents I said dad I read the New Testament and I read the Old Testament was the New Testament the time that God got saved Because he was pretty rough in the Old Testament and he's like in the New Testament is it's obvious. He had a change of heart God did not get saved in the New Testament And the cross of Jesus did not change God Somehow we have this feeling that God in the Old Testament we see his wrath being you know exemplified in many Situations, but in the New Testament we see Jesus playing with babies and children. We're like well This is really God. He is really soft and he's really you know I'm kind of on the loving edge the Old Testament is God kind of like overboarding on holiness and the New Testament is God Overboarding a love and the cross somehow made a little shift Metamorphosis God went from holy to loving but cross did not change God cross revealed God Because if God would not be holy there would be no need for the cross and if God would not be loving He would never let Jesus hang on it. He would put me and you there Therefore cross is the best revelation of who God is. It's not the best indication of who God was the cross reveals that the high beam speaks of God's unwavering standard and holiness and The horizontal beam speaks of God's unconditional Stretching all inclusive love that says if all four corners of the earth will come I will forgive them somebody say amen When God saved Noah from the flood I want you to notice that demons were not behind the flood God did not tell Noah build the boat because Satan is getting pretty ticked off about all of you And he's gonna flood the earth No, God says I'm ticked and I'm gonna flood the earth. I'm a holy God and we have problem with God's holiness Only when we sin But when we are sinned against Whoo, I Won't God to be holy and right now Not tomorrow not at the judgment seat of Christ not when they die right now All of the holiness and that's when we sing with angels.  But when you are the one committing sin then the scriptures and holiness you look man, that's kind of rough That's gonna that's that's gonna that's gonna overboard really anger wrath man. I definitely not gonna share that story with my children But God's love and God's holiness go together When you are in sin your problem is not the devil the devil is your last problem your problem is holy God When you are living away from God you don't worry about the devil Worry about your God the fact that he is holy and whatever you are doing is not taking good with him And I know sometimes we have this idea the well I will appeal to God's compassion and God will be unholy trying to be loving to me But if there was ever a time God would be Unholy trying to be loving it would be at the Calvary When his son Loaded with my sin looked at his father and say dad Why have you done this to me if there was any time during the history God could bend the rule and God could bend his identity It will be at that point if he didn't then he will not do it now and he will not do it for me And he will not do it for you


Let me begin by bringing the very warm felicitations of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, President Mohamed Muhari, who has asked me to extend his congratulations to the governor and the government and the people of Imo State today. It's a very special pleasure for me to join you at this historic flag of the hydrographic survey and dredging of the proposed sea route from Oguta Lake, Orashi, Degema to the Atlantic Ocean. This project is a vital collaboration between the state government, the Nigerian Navy, and a consortium of technical partners. It was initiated and approved under the stewardship of President Mohamed Muhari and Governor Hope Uzodima. As we've heard almost as far back as 1914, the British, understanding its strategic importance in connecting the hinterland to the coast, utilized this route to facilitate the smooth export of produce, such as palm oil, timber, and coal from Oguta and its neighboring regions. The route has always been a vital component of our national potential for increased trade and economic prosperity. Today, we aim to revive this one's vibrant and economically strategic channel, furthering job creation and sustainable growth in Imo State and the entire Southeast region and indeed our nation. By enhancing coastal connectivity and facilitating seamless transportation, the project will promote trade and investment and spur growth in multiple sectors, including shipping, manufacturing, agriculture, and also offer numerous opportunities for the people. But the good news doesn't end there. The President, only a few days ago, as we've heard from the Honorable Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, granted Governor Hope Uzodima's request to declare Oguta, Ohaji, Egbeema, an environs as an oil and gas free trade zone. This proposed free trade zone this proposed free trade zone has one of the largest hydrocarbon deposits in the country. Again, this is another clear winner. The synergy between the dredge sea route and the free trade zone will deliver enormous commercial benefits. Also, with the dredging project, the Navy will be better equipped to protect our coastlines, thereby curbing crude oil theft and illegal bunkering and other criminal activities that appear to have taken advantage of the very difficult terrain for the operational use of naval platforms. A secure environment paves the way for thriving business and increased revenue for all parties, including states and the federal government. As improved access to the sea stimulates exports and imports, the coastal communities in these parts will be better positioned to reap the benefits of increased trade and income. And there is no better time to have set this emotion than now. You can rest assured that the federal government will continue its support to the state in ensuring that we bring this project to fruition and realize its full capabilities. But none of this can be done without the full support of the community, who without doubt remain invaluable partners in unlocking the vast potential of this region. Your participation, understanding and cooperation are essential in overcoming any challenges that may arise during the implementation phase. I therefore urge you all to join hands with the state government and stakeholders to ensure a seamless execution that benefits everyone. By working together, we can create a vibrant economic corridor and transform our community and benefit all of us for generations to come. Let me especially commend the foresight and political pragmatism of your dynamic governor, His Excellency Hope Uzodima, who I call the Great Hope Always. Aside from the numerous infrastructure projects that he has undertaken in barely three years, and I've been here to commission several road projects, he has also mastered the art of close collaboration with the federal government for the benefit of this state and the southeast region. This project, for example, could not have been done without the blessing of the president. The oil and gas free zone also needed an obtained presidential approval. Again, on the governor's application as we've heard and his request, the president approved the complete takeover of the Alvin Ukoku College of Education Awareness, as well as the conversion and upgrading of the Federal Medical Center Awareness to a teaching hospital for the training of doctors by the Federal University of Technology Awareness. The last time I was here in IMO, it was to commission a government industry-shared facility for IMO young people, also donated at the urging of the governor, by the federal government, under our MSME clinics program. Not long after, His Excellency Mr. President also graced this land personally to commission key road projects. But this project that we are here today to flag off is a unique one. They are projects and they are projects. This is an economic transformation project. It is a game changer. It is a game changer for IMO state, Nigeria, and the west coast of Africa. It is one of those one-of-a-kind projects whose benefits have always been glaring. But vision, courage, and tenacity were required to bring it to fruition. And we all owe Governor Hope Uzadima gratitude for bringing hope to our nation and our subregion. I will commend him for his wise, creative, and focused leadership. Your Excellency, I urge you to keep up the great work. This state and our nation will be all the better for your purpose-driven governance and leadership. It is now my very special pleasure and privilege to officially flag off this historic endeavor, the Hydrographic Survey, and dredging of the proposed sea route from Moguta Lake to the Atlantic Ocean. This project will fulfill its promise of radical transformation, not only for this economy, but the economy of the southeast, our nation, and our region, and also for the benefit of all of our peoples. Thank you all very much for listening.
