28:And now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
Heavenly Father, the promise you gave to David, that there would always be a Man to sit on his throne, is indeed wonderful. But the most wonderful and glorious truth is this; You loved me so much that you sent Jesus to pay for the price of my sin and that by His Resurrection, He broke the power of sin in my life and caused me to be called a son of God and a joint-heir with Christ. Lord, for this I will continue to be eternally grateful.
May all I say and do be to the honour of Your name, for You alone are worthy. Thank you, Father. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
28: And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been called according to Your plan and purpose, for it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all should come to faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thank You, Lord, that You are causing all things to work together to finally achieve Your great redemptive plan and purpose for mankind. And thank You, Lord, that so often I see Your gracious hand working in my life and in the lives of all Your children, as You gently transform us into the lovely image of the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
No fewer than 500 women of the Peoples Democratic Party from across the 13 Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State sought the cancellation of the governorship poll held in the state on Tuesday.
The group of women all dressed in black and led by the state women leader of the party, Stella Oboshi, with other non-party members stormed Lafia, in a peaceful protest, demanding for the cancellation of the March 18, 2023 polls.
While speaking with newsmen, the women leader said that the Independent National Electoral Commission went ahead to announce a winner of the governorship election even though there was contention in the results that emanated from Gayam and Ciroma electoral wards in the state capital.
Oboshi said, “What we are doing today is a peaceful protest and it is allowed in Democracy. The reason for our protest is that in Nasarawa State, two electoral wards cannot hold the whole state to ransom.
“The governorship election and that of the House of Assembly were done the same day, the same time and with the same election materials. But the governorship election was announced, and that of the House of Assembly has not been announced up till this moment because it was declared inconclusive.
“If Gayam and Ciroma electoral wards results from Lafia LGA were included in the results that INEC announced for the governorship election but the Assembly elections were inconclusive in the same electoral wards, then INEC should also declare the governorship election inconclusive so that we can start afresh.”

1:If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2:And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3:If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Heavenly Father, keep me ever humble before Your throne of grace, I pray.
Help me to use my spiritual gifts and graces to encourage and edify my brothers and sisters in Christ and to glorify Your name.
May I live my life in love. In Jesus’ name, I pray,Amen.
6:Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege, responsibility, and joy of the children You have placed in my life.
I humbly ask that You would guide me in the way that I should teach them and train them and pray that they may grow up in the fear and nurture of the Lord.
May they grow in godly conduct, make wise choices, and learn to be both responsible towards others and accountable to authority.
Keep them from worldly ways, direct and govern their lives, and may they never depart from the way of righteousness. In Jesus’ name, I pray Amen.
15:And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Loving Father, keep me from covetousness, carnal behaviour, and envying the wicked who seem to have everything in this world, while so many of Your children often seem to be so deprived.
Help me to realise how short this life is and the futility of living for earthly possessions. Help me to live my life in spirit and truth so that by dying to self, I live for Christ and to His praise and glory, which will produce a great reward in heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
1:The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
Heavenly Father, my understanding is so limited of all You are and the untold mysteries that surround the triune Godhead and the incarnate Word of God.
Yet You loved me so much that You came in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ to die for my sins so that I might receive the good tidings of great joy which have been given to all people; the joyful news that by grace through faith in Him, I have been forgiven of my sins.
Thank You that the Holy Spirit indwells me, comforting me and binding up my broken and bleeding heart.
Thank You that in Christ, I have been set free from the bondage to sin, from the curse of the Law, and from enslavement by Satan. Praise You, Lord Amen.
23:Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
24:knowing that from the Lord, you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Heavenly Father, as I undertake the daily roles and responsibilities in my life, I pray that I will undertake everything willingly, enthusiastically, and to the best of my ability.
I pray that in all I say and do, I may do it unto You and for Your praise and glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray Amen.
