Immigrant Affairs

Peninnah could be as wicked as she would, but as long as Hannah hid in the LORD her wickedness was useless. So long as Hannah had a shelter in the LORD the devil’s darts were fruitless. Hannah would not bear the affliction alone, it was too severe and relentless, but when she went to the house of the LORD she got help. What you are facing right now might be too much for you to bear, take it to the LORD. Many times I have hit a stonewall and more often than not I could not do anything on my own to help myself. There are times when I knew clearly that all possible efforts had been exhausted. But thanks be to God because every time I turn to Him, He helps me. I bless His holy name. Do you know how to turn to Him? He can hear the cry in your heart. He can see your wounded heart. When you...

Q.

Dear Editor:

Things like electricity, safety, fresh food, running water and so much more. What brought this home more powerfully is the recent senseless killings of young people on national service in Nigeria as a result of dissatisfaction with the presidential elections in some quarters. This happened in a country that has the Military as well as the Police. Life is so meaningless to some people that they take other people’s lives at will. I am grateful to God for the...

Headache is a loosely used word that it is not uncommon to hear parents say to children when bothered, “don’t give me headache”. In medical terms, headach
e is pain or discomfort that arises from anywhere above the eyes or ears, in the head or the upper part of the neck (towards the back). It is so common that almost everyone has had one form of headache or the other at some point in their lifetime.

The severity and duration of the headache, the presence or absence of associated symptoms, age at which the headache begins and other background medical problems are some of the things that determine the seriousness of headaches in general.

There are so many types of headache that they cannot be exhausted in this write up. One way...
