*A Great Father* 

 *Todays Scripture* 

James 1:17, ESV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

 *Todays Word* 

Our God is a great Father. He has gifts in store for you that are more than you can ask or think. Don't be frustrated if you find yourself waiting for what you know He wants you to have. Sometimes God shows His love for us not by what He gives us but by what He withholds. If He provided you with that job, that house, or that baby before you're ready, it would limit your future. He knows what you can handle and when. Keep growing, keep being good to people, keep passing the tests. You may think you're ready, but you can't see how high God is going to take you, how much influence and resources He's going to entrust you with. He not only knows what you're going to need, He knows who you're going to need. Sometimes God is saying not yet because He's still getting somebody else ready who's going to be instrumental in your life. Trust His timing and go through the waiting period with a good attitude.

 *Prayer for Today* 

Father, thank You that You are not just good, but You are my great Father. Thank You that You are constantly showing me Your goodness with every good gift that comes into my life. Help me to be patient when You withhold a gift and to know You are always on schedule. In Jesus' Name, Amen

A leaf is Glorious while on the tree, the moment it drops, it looses its Glory.

You will never drop from God's Divine grace, mercy, favour and protection in Jesus Mighty Name.

May the Glory of the living God radiate over Your life, family and all that pertains to You in Jesus Mighty Name.

May His divine blessings continue to shower upon you and all your loved ones in Jesus Mighty Name.

May you inhale and continually exhale the goodness of the Almighty, everyday.

Good morning and have a wonderful day.

*STAY SAFE*

Ill Hand Over To Tinubu By Gods Grace, Says Buhari

July 20, 2022

PRESIDENT BUHARI RECEIVES ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU 2A&B. President Muhammadu Buhari receives the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a close door meeting during his visit at the Residence Presidential Villa, Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket would emerge victorious in 2023.

The President said this Wednesday at the State House, Abuja, while responding to a flowery speech by Senator Kashim Shettima, the running mate and vice presidential candidate of the APC.

I will respond to your speech when I am handing over to you and your boss. God willing, you are going to win, he said.

Buhari, who received Shettima shortly after he was unveiled by the leadership of the party and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said he was very happy with the choice of the former Governor of Borno State as running mate.

I wish you the best. Your consistency in the party is very respectful. You served your two terms as Governor and finished well. You have kept touch with your base. At every important occasion or event, you are maintaining support for the one who succeeded you. This is commendable, he said in a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu.

In his remarks, the vice presidential candidate thanked the President for his empathy, support and positive role leading to his emergence as running mate to the APC presidential candidate.

He praised the President for having a special place in your heart for Borno and Northeast, adding, I can cite 20-30 instances of support you have rendered, for which you will be remembered.

He mentioned the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and the Independent Power Plant for Maiduguri by the NNPC, after many years of darkness, saying that words cannot describe our appreciation of your support. We will remain eternally grateful.

The former Governor of Borno State requested the President to appreciate his successor, Babagana Zulum who was in his company, along with the Minister of State, Agriculture, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, for spurning recurring mention of him and pressure from his Governor colleagues to bid for the vice presidential ticket.

The candidate promised to remain loyal and devoted to the President, pledging that his Vice-Presidency will not be for the troika of Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri, but for all Nigeria, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or geographical place of origin.
