SDL render text issue - not appearing

text not appearing, is it z-indexed behind other layers? compile is fine.
maybe need to make placeholder sprite and then render text to it, and then to screen?
is

SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, Message, NULL, &Message_rect);

placement right in the code?
need to check it out.

EDIT:
Seems the font is not loaded ! Getting errors...
Need to make own renderfunction, only load font one time and reference to it.
..found this need to check it out:
