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.
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.
The Lagos State governorship candidate under the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has raised the alarm on death threats and assassination attempts on his life.
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.”
There was a wave of excitement as the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, donated N15 million to shop owners whose shops were burnt at Akere Spare Parts Market, Ajegunle in the Apapa area of Lagos State.
On Wednesday morning, a fire broke out at the Spare Parts Market, destroying goods worth millions of naira.
In the video shared online, the governorship candidate, who visited the scene, was filmed whispering to the man next to him. The man then announced the donation saying, “ He gave us N15 million naira to ….”
The cheers from the crowd drowned the rest of the announcement as the excited traders lifted Rhodes-Vivour in appreciation.
Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu addressing hundreds of local government workers on Monday at Alausa secretariat
Lagos to increase local govt workers’ salary “No matter how small it is, we will top it.”
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised to “top” salaries of local government workers in the state.
The governor spoke during an interactive session with civil servants at the local government level on Monday at the Adeyemi Bayero Auditorium within the Alausa Secretariat, in Ikeja.
The development comes a few days before the governorship and House of Assembly elections.
“I as governor have promised to increase, no matter how small, the salary of the public servants,” he said.
“The market where the Alausa workers shop, that’s where you shop too. Your children go to the same school, you pay the same fare and all of us are from Lagos.
“I Say No to Cancellation of Results, this election is far from being perfect, just like many before it, but there’s no election in the recent history of this country that has thrown up so much upset like this one.
“If the least expected small parties had upstaged the big ones in their homestead, I don’t see the logic in insinuating malpractice where the big ones are leveraging advantage.
“I, therefore, say no to cancellation of the results. INEC should run the full course and let the process of redress take over afterwards. We will survive this like every other.
“Proposing cancellation is defeatist, and I disagree with the proponents. You can’t celebrate your big wins in some places but challenging those of others in their supposed stronghold. Does it mean you approached the election with a degree of entitlement or mindset? That is double standards. Let everyone lick their wounds, at least, for now!
3: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4: We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus dying on the Cross so that I may be forgiven of my sins. Thank You for identifying with my unrighteousness so that I may be identified with Your righteousness.
Lord, thank You for identifying with my death so that I may be identified with Your life, my new life in Christ.
Help me to keep all that is not of You nailed to the Cross, and I pray that I may live godly in Christ Jesus, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus’ name Amen.
APC National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel has reacted to Peter Obi’s victory in Lagos.
Nobody should do “One million Man March” Oribu kan mo. Focus on door to door. Party excos, youth leaders, councillors, leaders, we have 10days to #SanwoAgain, go and engage your neighbours. #deliveryourstreet, be humble, get off your high horse. Ise wa o.
Any appointee in Lagos who doesn’t deliver his ward on the 11th March should not bother coming to Alausa on the 13th. Everyone should drop their tinted car and start walking the street. Knock on your neighbours door, beg those you need to beg, make peace. Deliver for #Sanwoolu
28 :Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
Our heavenly and loving Father teach us to trust in You and Your Word. Help us to put our faith in You rather than worldly riches.
Let us be right with you, set our hearts on You, and grow and flourish spiritually. Like the rose of Sharon’s display of vibrant bright flowers and healthy green leaves, let us be vibrant in our faith and display healthy spiritual growth. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen
