Mr. Ibru called on the younger generation of Ibrus to work with other shareholders to continue to carry on the torch of excellence for which Ikeja Hotels has been k

  The Gift Of God's Approval   A daily devotion for February 20th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Ecclesiastes 9:7-10       Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do (Ecclesiastes 9:7).       Verse 7 is a most remarkable verse, because there is a statement in it of what we call in the New Testament the  New Covenant,  God's new provision for living. It is clear from the New Testament that God has given us a gift of approval, of righteousness. Because we already have that by faith, we are freed, and no longer do we have to struggle vainly to try to please God; we live in a way that does please Him because we have already been accepted and approved by Him. Notice how clearly that is stated here in verse 7:  Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do. This is recognition, even in the Old Testament, of a relationship of

At an inauguration ceremony at the national stadium on Saturday, Barrow vowed to turn the page on Jammeh's often cruel and dysfunctional 22-year rule, which was marked by the detention and torture of opponents, rights groups say. New Agriculture Minister Omar Jallow was a longtime and public critic of Jammeh. That got him jailed repeatedly and tortured on four occasions, beatings from which he still has scars, he told Reuters in an interview. Jammeh lost a December election to opposition leader Adama Barrow and refused to accept the result, but flew into exile under diplomatic pressure and after West African Ecowas troops crossed into Gambia. His supporters denied torturing opponents. "Today, I have been vindicated,&quo
