PSALM 34:4

4:”I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE ANSWERED ME; HE DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS.”

There are real-life issues that can cause fear in this fallen world.

But children of God are overcomers because they belong to a realm that is more powerful.
Instead of giving in to fear, confront it with faith in God and His Word.

Beloved, you doubt God’s ability every moment you entertain fear in your life.
Whatever your fears, take them to God today and begin to live in the reality that you have overcome them.

Lord, help me overcome fear by wholly trusting in You in Jesus might name, Amen.

The newly elected Senate President of the 10th Assembly, Godswill Akpabio, former President Goodluck Jonathan, governors and senators visited President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja on Tuesday.

This is coming after elections were held for the presiding offices of the 10th national assembly.

Sani Tambuwal, the Clerk of the National Assembly, declared Akpabio as the Senate President having garnered 63 votes leaving his rival with 46 votes.

Those present are Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma, and former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, amongst others.

The Electricity Act de-mopolizes Nigeria’s electricity generation, transmission and distribution at National Level, thereby empowering states, companies and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity.

I would say that this is a good step in the right direction towards solving our energy problems in Nigeria.

May the aim of this Act be actualized to the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has disclosed that he advised the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and his All Progressives Congress, APC, counterpart, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to step down for the younger generation.

Soyinka said this during an interview on Arise Television morning show on Wednesday, April 5. Soyinka said: “When Atiku came to my office in Ikeja, he came with Gbenga Daniel, my former governor.

I said to him listen is about the time you people left the stage. Why don’t you just go away? We need an infusion of fresh blood into the system. “For some people, maybe they read it as blood-letting, no I said, an infusion of fresh blood.

I said so I cannot support you. I think your generation should really quit. He was not the only one. I then sought out the current President-elect, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, and I gave him exactly the same message.

“I said whatever you people are planning, I am convinced that when a younger generation, new thinking, new sensibility, new energies, so why don’t you just leave the seat.

“Let’s look for somebody who is a really brilliant individual and use your influence to catapult that person to power.

And this country will see a massive transformation. “We spoke for about one and a half hours, and then Bola Tinubu said no. He said there were still things he could contribute,” Soyinka added.

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.”

Luke 12:15

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.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5

4:Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

5:You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength

Heavenly Father, what amazing grace You have shown to me and the entire human race, that Your love for us is so great that You would send Your only begotten Son to die for our sin.

No matter what it takes, I pray that I may learn to love You with all my heart, and soul, and mind, and strength and with every fibre of my being, knowing that it is only as I die to self and live for Christ, that Your love may be manifested in me. Thank You, in Jesus’ name Amen.

Appearing on Arise TV on Sunday, the governorship candidate stated that he was attacked on Saturday.

He said, “There have been lots of threats. We have gotten a lot of intel about potential assassination attempts on my life. Yes, it happened in Epe.

“We had Honourable Wale Oluwo with us and we also hand Honourable Najid of the PDP working with us and they were also shot at in Epe yesterday.”
