For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (KJV) Jesus paid it all by paying a debt that he did not owe, and He replaced Himself for our sins at the cross. He became an ultimate sacrifice, and through it all He never said a mumbling word. Jesus was bruised for our iniquities, and giving us an opportunity to the tree of life.

We have been properly equipped with the B. I. B. L. E. , my Pastor Larry Chavers, St. James M. B. Church, Osteen, Florida says, Basic Instructions Before Living Earth. Jesus did not leave us comfortless because we are blessed to have His precious Holy Spirit. Now that is love, and we can search all over, and we will not find anybody equivalent to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

There is a song written by Thomas Shepherd (1693) Must Jesus bear the cross alone And all the world go free?

No, there's a cross for ev'ry one, And there's a cross for me.

Despite of our Savior's mistreatment and darkest hour, "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."(Luke 23:34).

We are grateful that is not how the story ends because on the 3rd day he rose again.

He is Lord of Lords and The Kings of Kings, and He rose with all power in His hands.

Prayer: Lord, we love you, and we want to thank you for paying a debt you did not owe. We are nobody without you, and we know we cannot find anybody like you. You have demonstrated your unconditional love toward us, and we thank you for loving us despite our faults and failures. We thank you for allowing your purpose to be fulfilled by "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. (Luke 22:42). Our prayer is that you will teach us how to say, "yes to your will, and yes to your way." Thank you for fulfilling your purpose in our lives every day. Please help us to never forget what you have done for us way back on Calvary, and help us to remember what you are doing every day.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

DANIEL "SAXMAN" FUQUA

INTERVIEW BY THERESA JORDAN

I had not been exposed to this type of instrument. It was intriguing to hear, see, and experience this magnificent sound.

Deep down inside, I desired to acquire this unfamiliar skill for myself. My success was not going to be easy, and it would come with some challenges.

First, it would take time convincing my parents, Danny and Muriel Fuqua, because they were accustomed to me not following through from prior encounters such as The Boys Scouts, football, Triumphant: When did you discover your passion for playing the Saxophone?

and soccer,

They wanted to know that I Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I discovered my passion for would unequivocally the Saxophone at 11 years old while attending my commit to this new church. A young lady was playing the sax, and this instrument was fascinating to me; even though, endeavor before investing

Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 8

money into my new passion. One year later, which fell on my 11th birthday, February 13, 2001, my parents bought my first Alto Saxophone, and this is something I will never forget.

Triumphant: Did you face any challenges learning how to play your Sax? Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: Yes, I was horrible! I was so horrible my parents, Danny and Muriel, had me playing in the garage. I would play intensively throughout the day and night, and sometimes I found myself getting frustrated because I was eager to learn and conquer this unfamiliar territory.

One day my mother stopped by, and she recognized my sincerity and passion toward perfecting my craft. She asked me, "Do you want to do this? I replied by saying, "yes, I want to do this." My mother, Muriel, proceeded to pray for me, and she touched my ears, and she said, " you will hear the notes." She touched my eyes, and she said, "you will see the notes.", she touched my hands, and "you will play the notes, and then she touched my mouth and said, "you will be able to blow the notes.", and my chest and "you will play from your heart when you are led by the Holy Spirit." My transformation was activated immediately by the power of my praying mother.

Triumphant: What a powerful testimony! There is power in having a praying mother, so we would like to thank your mother for stepping out on faith and rendering such a powerful prayer to the Lord. The bible says, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8).

Triumphant: How long have you been a distinguished Saxophone player?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I recently celebrated twenty years being a Saxophonist on February 13, 2021.

Triumphant: Have you been working on any special projects this past year?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: On February 13, 2021, I released my new album called, "The Sound of Love", and it can be purchase through several platforms: Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, Amazon MP3, Spotify, Google Play, DEEZER, Tidal, and many more.

Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 9

Triumphant: How did you come up with "The Sounds of Love" for your latest album?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: Back in 2009, the Lord gave me a prophetic word to release the sound of heaven, and throughout my research and study the Lord began to tell me, "each of us carries a sound, and it is our responsibility to release it."

The scripture says, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10). The Sound Of Love was released to let everyone know it is about the love of Christ that is within all of us.

"It is our responsibility to begin to release the sound."

Triumphant: Do you have any upcoming projects you are working on in the next few months?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I am a worship leader at my church called, "Fire to the Nations Global Ministries, Inc., under the leadership of Bishop Kim R. Holt & Pastor Benjamin Holt. Our church is located at 1301 Beville Road STE 3, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114. We are planning a mission trip to Africa this upcoming June 2021, and we will be serving in several capacities. Our first goal is to establish a food program while completing mission work there.

Triumphant: What are some things people may not know about you?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I am a singer, and I embarked on this gift recently.

I have a heart for the children, and it is my goal to establish a nonprofit organization that would focus on Music & Arts. This will be my focus because it appears to be dying within our school systems and our communities. There are not enough programs providing guidance, training, and development for our youth today. The absence of more bands, theatres, and drama locations is vanishing at rapid speed, so it is imperative to incorporate this missing component before the end of 2021, or the beginning of 2022. This program is necessary to encourage our children by helping them to enhance their untapped gifts and talents, and it would help with maximizing their capability through proper training and diligence.

Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 10

Triumphant: It is commendable that you are willing to empower others. We wish you insurmountable success with your nonprofit organization. May the Lord open the floodgates of heaven, and bless you with everything you need to make this happen in the year 2021 or 2022.

Triumphant: Who motivates you?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I would have to say, "my beautiful wife, Kyara Fuqua".

We have been married for 3 years, and she is my greatest inspiration. Kyara is my number #1 motivator, and she is consistently praying and interceding on my behalf. My wife pushes me in every possible way because occasionally I would

Daniel "Saxman" & Kyara Fuqua wedding date:

August 18, 2018 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

(Proverbs 18:22) Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 11

find myself comparing myself to other musicians by saying, "I don't sound like that particular musician, or sometimes I would feel like my music was not working effectively as I wanted it to be." My wife often reminds me that I am better than I can imagine, and I should not compare myself to others. I love these wonderful attributes about my wife, and she keeps my momentum going by helping me to stay focused on God's plans for our lives. I am grateful God blessed me with a good thing in my wife, Kyara Fuqua, and she is a phenomenal helpmate.

My wife works as an elementary teacher, and she is a praise dancer. We have collaborated on several occasions, and I would play my Saxophone, and she would praise dance. This past Easter, we ministered together with "Total Praise"

by Richard Smallwood, and you can check out our performance through our church Facebook at Fire to The Nations Global Ministries, Inc. Triumphant: Will you be working on any more new albums soon?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: Yes, I will be working on another album called, "Sound of Worship", and my expected release date is September 2021.

Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 12

Triumphant: What has been your most memorable moment playing the Saxaphone?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I played at a Jazz Festival in Daytona Beach, Florida.

During this time, I began questioning myself, and an older gentleman approached me, and he had tears in his eyes. He began telling me, "he had been married for over 50 years", and he proceeded to say, "that I sparked a fire in their marriage." "He continued to thank me for what was accomplished, and he could not imagine the magnitude of his words. The gentleman's words, not only reignited his relationship with his wife but helped to reconfirm my purpose and calling. Unknowingly, he sparked a fire inside of me because it helped me to refocus on my "Why" statement for performing with a sincere heart. My motto was created from this encounter, and it is "Touching Lives One Note At A Time."

My philosophy is, "If I am not touching one person's life during my concerts and various events, then I am not effectively doing my job."

Triumphant: Do you have any last words for Triumphant Magazine's audience?

Daniel "Saxman" Fuqua: I love people, and I would like to let everyone know there is a sound within you, so release your sound, and allow the Glory of the Lord to be magnified through your sound.

"Saxman" Fuqua is notorious for undeniably releasing powerful sounds.

Proverbs 31:8-9 (NIV) "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the nights of all who are destitute.

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

As He hung on the Cross for our sins, Jesus spoke to defend those who were killing Him. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[a] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Luke 23:33-34 (NIV) Today the Christian is much too silent in the face of great adversity and grievous behaviors.

Sometimes, it is the so-called leaders in the world of "Christendom" that are siding against the poor and voiceless. This world has become a harsh place for people who are not rich and are viewed to have little or no value in the world of commercialism. If we look through the lens of clear vision, we find that a highly organized mission to roll back the clock on humanitarianism and Civil Rights is taking place across the country. The very acts against basic human rights, that Americans hold other countries accountable for, are taking shape in the "Great Democracy" and too often, we debate the merits. We discuss amongst ourselves all the horrible things we see on television, social media, and worse, in our own communities, but cannot find the time nor the fortitude to take a position and "Say Something". It seems that we are always waiting on someone else to speak up. We are afraid to place ourselves in the position to be questioned or to go against the grain on a popular position even when we know it is wrong. We don't want to step outside of our comfort zone.

Triumphant Magazine | April 2021 | Page 17

or to not be liked by others. For years Black people have been killed by the police and no one cared. That is why there is a BLM Movement. It grew out of our silence. Like the protests against the Vietnam War, the outrage about the death of George Floyd had to be served up on national television, so that we could watch the horrible death of this human being, for it to matter. The murders of all of those who were killed before him, were explained away, and forgotten about as the perpetrators were set free by a "jury of their peers". We were silent.

Today, we are listening to debates about stemming the flow of automatic weapons and the NRA is banking on our silence again. After all it is "not the guns that kill" .....REALLY. Even the killing of our children by mass murderers was not enough to convince the Congressional leadership that there should be some kind of method in place to make acquiring artillery more difficult than just having enough cash to buy it. You can get major fire power easier than you can get a voter's registration card. Think about that. Yet, we are silent. Is it more important that we have all the guns we can carry than making our children feeling safe in school? We worry about going back into the classroom because of COVID-19, but how about being safe from shooters. As a Christian is our ability to have access to guns that can kill hundreds of people before reloading more important than "thou shalt not kill" Silence means you agree.

Many people will say that these are not the topics for Christians to discuss. I guess we should just go back to the church and shut up. The athlete's need to just play their sports and shut up. The Fortune 500 companies need to just "stay out of politics" unless they are donating money to political campaigns and shut up. That is what is being said by the socalled "powers that be." I say that if we find our voice, we are "the powers that be", and our voices need to take the position of healing this illness of hatred and discrimination that seems to be permeating the atmosphere.

Lastly, to our Asian brothers and sisters, we see you. We cannot continue to try to justify the heinous crimes against the Asian community. These acts are led by hatred and ignorance that was left by past leaders. It is time for the words of our Lord to be more important to us than our selfishness and fear. (Proverbs 31:8, NLT) Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. If you see something, say something.

If you trust God and believe His word, you cannot sit silent in the face of injustice and believe that you are being obedient to His word. Silence means YOU agree.

The legacy continues....
