Weekly Devotional March 14th, 2017 Why Won't God Heal Me? Lessons about God's healing through the Life of Paul Series: Weekly Devotional But He replied, 'My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.' So if Christ keeps giving me his power, I will gladly brag about how weak I am. Yes, I am glad to be weak or insulted or mistreated or to have troubles and sufferings, if it is for Christ. Because when I am weak, I am strong. — 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 There are many wonderful stories of healing in the Bible. Jesus healed many people of leprosy, blindness, lameness and other ailments.

Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa state, has attributed his arrest and perceived persecution to his desire to run for president in 2019. This was disclosed by his chief press secretary, Umar Kyari, in a chat with The Vanguard on Monday. He said the current state governor, Mohammed Badaru is “scared stiff ” of Lamido’s ambition and clout and “raised a false alarm” as his party might lose the local elections slated for July 1. “But it is rather too late for anyone to stop Lamido from achieving his political ambition come 2019 since the people have already seen that he has what it takes to rule Nigeria and lift it out of the woods.” Lamido, according to the Force public relations officer (PRO), Moshood Jimoh, was arrested and is being investigated after the “state government complained against his directive to his supporters to cause trouble and we had to wade in.” Meanwhile, the Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded...

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party.
