I am with you always
Similarly, we all need God to hold our hands at crossroads or important junctions of life. This statement is often appropriated as a word of comfort or a source of confidence amid the travails of life. If we cultivate a sense of mission, we shall enjoy the benefits of divine presence. Let us separate ourselves emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually from the encumbrances of life that hinder us from obeying the Lord. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

According to him, “I was the first, accompanied by my brother, Wole Olanipekun, to apply because we thought we were qualified to sit at the Supreme Court. This week may also present another potentially-embarrassing moment for the Court of Appeal as the Nasarawa gubernatorial dispute will be resolved by the apex court on Tuesday.
