2 Chron 14:1-11;
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. 2 Chronicles 14:1
“…the land was quiet ten years. “
Under the reign of Asa the king, the land was quiet ten years; the kingdom was at peace – no civil war, no external aggression; no natural disaster; no loss in business; no marital distress; no plague or epidemic – just peacefulness.

Dear Anambra Youth,

I'm writing to address a crucial matter concerning our state's future. As you may know, Valentine Chineto Ozigbo, a prominent figure in Anambra politics, left the Labour Party to join the APC. This move has raised concerns among many of us who believe in the Labour Party's vision for a better Anambra.

As young people, we have the power to shape our state's destiny. We cannot afford to sit on the fence while our future is being decided. I urge you all to join me in calling on Valentine Ozigbo to return to the Labour Party. His leadership and experience are needed in a party that truly cares about the welfare of Anambra people ¹.

If Ozigbo refuses to return to the Labour Party, I'm afraid we may have to reconsider our support for him. As young people, we cannot compromise on our values and principles. We deserve a leader who shares our vision for a prosperous and equitable Anambra.

Let's make our voices heard and demand that Ozigbo returns to the Labour Party. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.

Sincerely,
[Hon. Uzoghelu John clement okwudili
The Political Ambition leader Labour party

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES - DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: "TAKE YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST"

SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
-------------------------------------------------
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39)

What we just read brings to mind what the Bible says in Romans 3:24, that we've been justified freely by grace through the redemption that's in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ we've received remission of sins, the complete removal of sins, and by Him we've been justified from all things, from which we couldn't be justified by the Law of Moses.

That means we've been declared acquitted, free from all charges and accusations. Blessed be God! Jesus made it so. He took your place so that you might take His place. Taking your place in Christ is what Christianity is about. Take what He gave up for you; take the place He has given you your new place in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Take your place of righteousness and express the will and nature of the Father. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." This is your new place the place of wealth and abundance.

Also, read Ephesians 2:4-5 and see your place: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)." You've been raised up together and made to sit together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. This signifies a place of authority; you're recognized in the heavenly realm as a man or woman of dominion. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank You for the place You've given me in Christ-a place of glory, dominion, wealth, abundance and power. I walk in the consciousness of this reality, expressing Your will, nature and purpose as I reign and rule in life, exercising authority over circumstances, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Customs intercept N398m cannabis sativa in Lagos


Customs intercept N398m cannabis sativa in Lagos
The Nigeria Customs Service, Western Marine Command, said it intercepted 53 sacks of cannabis sativa weighing 1,958kg with a duty-paid value of N398m in Lagos.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Lomba Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, Feb. 21.

The Customs Area Controller in charge of the command, Paul Bamisaiye, said that the contrabands were intercepted at Ilase Sea Beach, about 200 nautical miles from the Lagos Anchorage.

He said that the smugglers tried to run away but were overpowered by the officers, so “they abandoned the boat and jumped into the sea.”

“The boat was quickly secured and brought to the office where it was found to contain 3,793 loaves of cannabis sativa divided into 53 sacks and weighed 1,958kg. The duty paid value of the seizure is N398m,” he said.

He stressed that the contrabands, which were intercepted on Thursday, Feb. 20, at about 11pm, were a result of the intensified efforts by the ever-focused and eagle-eyed officers of the command.

He said that the interception was the highest single operational seizure of cannabis sativa under his administration.

Bamisaiye added that two months ago, the command made a seizure of 15 sacks containing 1,021 loves of cannabis sativa weighing 538kg worth N107m.

He added that in line with the established procedures, the hard drugs will be handed over to the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

He said that the command will continue to partner with other sister agencies in ensuring that the nation’s borders are well protected.

10 Powerful Advice for Anyone Seeking to Marry in 2025

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and choosing the right partner is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. If you are considering marriage in 2025, here are ten powerful pieces of advice to guide you:

Marry for Character, Not Just Chemistry:
Physical attraction and feelings can fade, but a person’s character, their integrity, kindness, and values will determine the success of your marriage.

Know Yourself First:
Before you commit to someone else, understand who you are, what you want, and what you bring to a relationship. Healthy self-awareness leads to healthier choices, you can choose the right partner if you don’t know yourself and your purpose in life.

Be Aligned in Values and Vision:
Discuss the big things like faith, family, finances, career goals, and parenting styles. Shared values and a common vision create a strong foundation.

Observe How They Handle Pressure:
Marriage isn’t without its challenges. Watch how your partner deals with conflict, disappointment, and setbacks. Their reactions under pressure will show their true character.

Don’t Ignore Red Flags:
Disrespect, infidelity, dishonesty, or a lack of accountability are major warning signs. Don’t enter marriage hoping that these issues will improve, they usually get worse.

Build a Friendship First:
You know the saying “Marry your best friend”, Passion may spark the relationship, but friendship will sustain it. Marry someone you genuinely enjoy being around, laughing with, and sharing life with.

Prioritize Emotional and Spiritual Compatibility:
A strong emotional connection and shared faith can help you navigate the ups and downs of marriage. Pray together, grow spiritually, and invite God into your relationship. A relationship and marriage founded on God will pass the test of time.

Discuss Finances Before Marriage:
Money issues are a leading cause of marital conflict. Be open about your financial habits, debts, and future goals. Agree on how you will manage finances together. Do you want Joint accounts or not, how will you share financial responsibility and who will manage the finance of the home?

Listen to Wise Counsel:
Seek advice from happily married couples, mentors, or spiritual leaders. They can help you identify potential challenges and guide you in making the right decision.

Pray and Trust God’s Timing:
Marriage is too important to be rushed. Pray for discernment and trust that God will bring the right person into your life at the right time.

In conclusion, marriage is a journey, not a destination. It requires love, commitment, sacrifice, and grace. Enter it with wisdom, and you will build a union that lasts a lifetime.

Be wiser than your rivalries

You are loved, you are valued, you are enough, just as you are.
