Seasoning Cubes Are Slowly Damaging Your Liver.
Let’s stop pretending.
Those cubes you throw into every pot?
They’re not spice—they’re sabotage.
They’re lab chemicals, designed to trick your tongue into thinking you’re eating something flavorful.
But what they’re really doing is hijacking your brain and exhausting your liver.
Let me break it down.
Most of your beloved cubes are loaded with MSG (monosodium glutamate)—
Yes, the same stuff that overstimulates your nervous system and can make you feel tired, anxious, bloated, and addicted to junk.
That’s not all.
Here’s the cocktail hiding inside each cube:
—Artificial flavor enhancers
—Refined salt (not sea salt o, the cheap one)
—Chemical preservatives
—Hydrogenated oils
—Synthetic coloring agents
Now imagine you’re cooking with this cocktail every single day.
Rice? Add it.
Stew? Two cubes.
Egusi? Add more.
Beans? Spaghetti? Okro?
Na cube cube cube.
You’re not seasoning food anymore.
You’re seasoning disease.
Your liver and kidneys are breaking their back trying to detox what you keep willingly swallowing.
Then you say it’s “spiritual attack.”
No, my dear.
It might be that cube in your pot that’s been fighting your health since 2005.
And worst of all?
You’re raising your children on it.
You’re shaping their tongue to crave fake flavors and hate real food.
You’re teaching their taste buds addiction, not nourishment.
So, what do you use instead?
Real ingredients that your ancestors thrived on:
Garlic. Ginger. Onions. Locust beans (iru).
Curry. Thyme. Fresh pepper. Scent leaf.
Salt your food with wisdom—not shortcuts.
Make your own seasoning.
Give your liver peace.
Let your tongue taste truth.

The most intelligent family in England and certainly in the world, is African and originally from Nigeria. They are in the Guinness Book of Records as the most intelligent family in England.

In the Imafidon family, there are twins Peter and Paula, who obtained the equivalent of high school at the age of 9 and became the youngest to attend the University of Cambridge, where they broke the record for mathematics at this university.

In addition, both are national champions in sports disciplines. The funny thing is that this record was brought before them by their older sister Cristina Imafidon, who had obtained high school at the age of 11 and at 14 was pursuing a masters degree in mathematics and statistics.

But this is not all, there is also sister Samantha Imafidon who was in 3rd grade at 8 years old. And who is the UK national 100m champion? Imafidon children break all records.His father is a famous professor at Oxford University

*NB* Today, we are praying for our children and all your descendants.

Jeremiah 29:11: Pray for God's plans for their future.

Matthew 5:16: Pray for them to be a light to the world through their actions.

SEE WHAT A SLAY QUEEN NEIGHBOR DOES WITH HER NEIGHBORS' SON
Episode 3

Life was slowly beginning to change for Kobe after Auntie Merera’s arrest. The house felt different now. Even though his parents tried their best to smile and joke with him, Kobe could still feel the heavy silence in the air. Sometimes, he would wake up at night to hear his mother crying softly in the living room, whispering prayers for him.

The once lively Kobe was still struggling to return fully to the boy he had been. His nightmares were frequent — dreams where he would find himself trapped in Auntie Merera’s house, unable to escape no matter how loudly he screamed.

One afternoon, as Kobe sat quietly drawing pictures at the dining table, his father, Mr. Omari, came and sat beside him.

"Kobe," he said gently, "do you want to talk to Daddy about anything?"

Kobe put down his pencil and looked into his father's eyes. For the first time in months, he felt safe. But instead of speaking, he burst into tears. Mr. Omari immediately pulled him into a warm hug and allowed him to cry as much as he wanted. He did not interrupt him. He just held him tightly, rocking him gently.

From that day, Mr. and Mrs. Omari enrolled Kobe in a counseling center specifically for children who had faced trauma. It was there Kobe met Miss Clara, a young, friendly therapist who always wore colorful dresses and carried a little teddy bear with her to every session.

"This bear," Miss Clara would say, handing it to Kobe, "is called Brave. And you, Kobe, are Brave too."

At first, Kobe would barely speak during sessions, but Miss Clara was patient. Slowly, with time, Kobe began to open up more — not just about Auntie Merera, but about how abandoned he had felt when his parents were always working.

"I missed you both," Kobe said one evening as his parents sat with him at dinner. "Even before... everything happened."

Mr. and Mrs. Omari exchanged guilty looks. They realized that while they had been busy trying to secure Kobe’s future, they had neglected his present.

From that day forward, the Omari family made a new rule:
Family Time Every Evening.

No matter how busy work got, no matter how tired they were, they all had to spend two hours every evening together — playing board games, reading stories, cooking, or even just talking.

Gradually, the deep wounds in Kobe's heart began to heal. The nightmares became fewer. The smiles became more genuine. The bed-wetting reduced until one morning, Kobe woke up to a dry bed for the first time in months.

"Mummy! Daddy! Come and see!" he shouted excitedly.

When Mr. and Mrs. Omari rushed into his room and saw the clean sheets, they all burst into laughter and tears. They hugged and danced together right there in Kobe’s room.

At school, Auntie Anichi continued to check in on him often.

"Kobe, my champion," she would say, patting his head fondly. "You are so brave. Always remember that."

Meanwhile, news spread in the community about Auntie Merera’s arrest. Many parents became more cautious, and talks about child protection increased in the neighborhood.

One Saturday morning, Mr. Omari organized a Community Awareness Meeting at the town hall. He stood before the crowd and spoke from his heart.

"We almost lost our son," he said with a shaky voice. "We were too busy. Too trusting. And it cost us dearly. Please, let’s not assume that danger only comes from strangers. Sometimes, the greatest danger is someone you trust."

From that meeting, a new Neighborhood Watch group was formed. Volunteers patrolled after school hours, ensuring that children returned home safely. New rules were set: no child would stay alone with any adult without parental permission. The community finally woke up.

But despite the healing happening in Kobe's life, there was still one loose end — the court case.

Kobe was called to testify in court against Auntie Merera. It was a terrifying thought for a 10-year-old, but with Miss Clara and Auntie Anichi’s help, he prepared bravely.

The day he entered the courtroom, he felt his heart thudding heavily in his chest. Auntie Merera sat there, dressed simply, looking nothing like the happy neighbor he had once known.

"Kobe," the judge said kindly, "just tell us the truth. You are safe here."

With trembling hands but a strong voice, Kobe narrated everything — from the beginning to the end. Every adult in the courtroom listened in stunned silence. Some mothers sobbed quietly. Some men clenched their fists in anger.

By the end of the trial, Auntie Merera was found guilty of child sexual assault and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison with no option of parole.

It was over.

Really over.

As Kobe walked out of the courtroom, he felt the heavy burden that had been sitting on his chest lift for the first time. He was free.

Months passed.

Kobe returned fully to the vibrant boy he had once been — excelling in school, winning medals in soccer, laughing freely with his friends. He still visited Miss Clara occasionally, but it was now for happy talks, not heavy ones.

One evening, as he sat outside with his parents, looking at the sunset, he smiled and said, "I'm happy again."

Mr. and Mrs. Omari looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and his mother whispered, "Thank you, God, for giving us our son back."

To be continued...

To Be continued.....

SIGNS THAT HE WILL MAKE A GOOD HUSBAND:

1. "HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS ADMIRABLE DAD"

If his dad is a good husband and father and he looks up to his dad, chances are he will be like his dad

2. "HE SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM BAD EXAMPLES"

If his father was absent in his life or his father did things he is ashamed of, he grows up forgiving his dad, respecting his dad but also not wanting to be like his dad

3. "HE MENTORS AND TEACHES MEN YOUNGER THAN HIM"

A man who mentors others pushes himself to always be a good example

4. "HE IS NOT SWAYED BY PUBLIC PRESSURE"

In marriage, many men mess up their families because of following trends, pressure to please friends or wanting to project a certain image to fit in society

5. "HIS CLOSE MALE FRIENDS ARE OF GOOD REPUTE"

Look at the company he keeps close; that will indicate the caliber of man he is

6. "HE TREATS EVERY WOMAN WITH RESPECT"

Be suspicious of a man who treats his woman well but treats other women like crap; soon, he will treat his woman like crap

7. "HE IS GOOD WITH CHILDREN EVEN THOSE NOT HIS"

How he values and is responsible with other people's children prepares himself to value his own

8. "HE IS PROTECTIVE OF HIS NAME"

A man who upholds his name will keep a good character, after all, the wife and children will carry his name

9. "MARRIAGE IS HIS IDEA TOO"

Many men are forced into marriage, either because the woman got pregnant or the woman pressured him to propose to her after they dated for so long. Is it his idea to marry you lady, or is it only yours? A man who willfully pursues a woman to marry her and is the one excited about marriage will almost certainly make sure he lives up to being a good husband. Where a man takes himself he performs well and gives his all

10. "HE LIVED AN HONOURABLE LIFE AS A SINGLE MAN"

A single man who lives in a manner that shows he is keeping and preparing himself for that one special woman will make a good husband. To him, being a husband is a big deal

11. "HE TREATS THE LADY WELL AS THEY DATE"

A man who acts like a faithful husband even before he marries the woman will make a good husband. But if he is insulting her, cheating on her, rejecting her and taking her for granted when they are dating; he will most likely insult her, cheat on her, reject her and take her for granted when married

12. "HE TREATS HIS MOTHER WITH LOVE AND RESPECT”

A man who appreciates his mother will appreciate his wife

13. "HE LOVES GOD"

Marriage is God's idea. A man who wants to engage in this idea led by the Creator of this idea will strive to please God. The more a man loves God, the more he loves his wife

14. "HE SEES THE WOMAN AS AN EQUAL PARTNER"

This kind of man will not dictate or lord over the woman, it will not always be his way, he will consult his wife, learn from her and teach her too

15. "HE IS HER BEST FRIEND"

Lady, if he is not only your lover but your best friend too, he will be a best friend till the end.; best friends are real with each other, honest, loyal, fun, thoughtful. Take away the romance and things that lovers do, are you and him best friends?

16. "HE USES HIS PAST TO LEARN"

Maybe he messed up in his past relationships, or his past relationships taught him alot. If he paid attention to the lessons learned, he will be a wise husband

17. "HE IS DISCIPLINED"

A man who has control over himself will make a good husband. He is not given to addictions. How can a man lead a family, if he cannot lead himself?

May such man be your portion.

God bless you.

*10 Success and Life Lessons from Billionaire Tyler Perry*
*And Why Achieving Your Dreams Matters Because Other People's Dreams Depend on It*

*Written by Dr. Laide Okubena*

*From Grass to Grace: The Tyler Perry Story*

Tyler Perry’s journey didn’t begin in luxury, influence, or success. It began in pain, poverty, and a broken home. He was born into a household marred by abuse and trauma. As a child, he endured physical and emotional suffering. In fact, he once legally changed his first name from Emmitt to Tyler to distance himself from his abusive father.

But amid the storms, Tyler found healing in writing. He started penning letters to himself, a practice inspired by an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Those letters would eventually birth scripts—scripts no one wanted to see at first.

He lived in his car for months. His plays flopped. Critics dismissed him. Audiences ignored him. But he didn’t give up.

Fast forward years later—Tyler Perry built a $250 million film studio in Atlanta, Georgia, on what used to be a Confederate military base. That land, once a symbol of slavery, now hosts stories told by a Black man for the world to see. He is not just a filmmaker; he is a movement. He is a billionaire today, not because of luck, but because of relentless persistence.

*Now, let’s dive into 10 Success and Life Lessons You Can Learn From Tyler Perry:*

*1. Your Past Doesn’t Define Your Future*

Tyler’s abusive childhood didn’t stop him from rising. No matter your background, you can re-write your story—one choice at a time.

*2. Start Small, Dream Big*

His first play, I Know I’ve Been Changed, had just 30 people in the audience—and many were friends he gave free tickets to. Still, he kept going.

*3. Believe in What You’re Building Even When No One Else Does*

When others told him to quit, he reinvested his last savings into another show. That decision changed everything. Faith in your dream must be louder than the noise around you.

*4. Turn Your Pain Into Purpose*

He used his trauma as the foundation of his characters, especially Madea—a tough, hilarious woman shaped from the matriarchs in his life. Your deepest wound can be your greatest well of creativity.

*5. Success is Inevitable When You Refuse to Quit*

Most people quit when it's hard. Tyler Perry kept showing up when it didn’t make sense. That consistency eventually paid off. Winners keep showing up.

*6. Ownership is Power*

*He didn’t wait for Hollywood’s validation.*

He built his own studio. He owns his content. He licenses, not sells. Never beg for a seat at the table—build your own.

*7. Your Dream is Bigger Than You*

Perry said, “While you’re running from your calling, someone is waiting for you to show up.” Your success creates a path for others. Your failure may block them.

*8. Create Jobs, Not Just Wealth*

His Atlanta studio employs hundreds of creatives, giving opportunities to actors, set designers, and crew members who might never get a shot in mainstream Hollywood. Be a channel of value, not just a container of money.

*9. You Are the Brand—Protect It*

Perry is intentional about his image, values, and mission. Your reputation is the most valuable currency in the long game.

*10. Stay Humble, Stay Hungry*

Even after billions, he remains grounded. He still speaks about faith, family, and his humble beginnings. Stay close to your source. The higher you rise, the deeper your roots must be.

*Why Your Success Matters More Than You Think*

Someone is praying for you to succeed. Maybe it’s your children watching your every move… maybe it’s a community, or even a stranger you don’t know yet. Tyler Perry’s breakthrough didn’t just benefit him—it broke generational curses for thousands of others.

Your dream is not selfish—it is sacrificial. Because once you succeed, you make room for others to rise too.

*Practical Tips From Tyler Perry’s Journey*

1.Write down your vision daily. Keep it in front of you.

2.Start with what you have. Don’t wait for perfect conditions.

3.Be consistent. Show up even when it’s hard.

4.Own your narrative. Don’t let others define you. Not Even Your Parents should define you or a Pastor or an Imam or Even a Mentor you look up to , it is God that determines what you can become, not an Human being like you.

5.Turn rejection into redirection.

6.Invest in yourself. Take that course. Learn that skill.

7.Build your audience. Don’t chase popularity—grow impact.

8.Pray or meditate. Stay connected to your center.

9.Save and reinvest. Use profits to expand your dream.

10.Lift others as you climb. Success that doesn't empower others is short-lived.

*Question of the Day*

What dream are you sitting on right now that could transform lives—if only you dared to pursue it?

*Task of the Day*

Write down one bold dream that scares you.

List 3 small actions you can take in the next 24 hours to move closer to it.

Identify one person whose life could change if you succeed. Keep their name in front of you. Let that drive you.

THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT:
1,500 YEARS, 400 YEARS AND 40 YEARS AFTER HAGIA SOPHIA, ST PETERS BASILICA AND OUR LADY OF PEACE BASILICA

APPARENT LESSONS LEARNT BY BISHOP OYEDEPO

Funding and Doctrine (contd from Part 1):

Bishop Oyedepo has ensured that the Ark project didn't affect any other project in the Church. Notably, the Kingdom Care as well as Transport Schemes were initiated or re-introduced to cater primarily for challenged members of the Church. Also no offering whatsoever is raised in services with regards to the Ark project whether in Canaanland or any branch/parish since inception. I believe that this has never happened for a project anywhere close to this in the history of Christianity. No special offerings, no special group of sponsors, no nothing, yet on a personal note, my biggest givings towards any building project in my life by plain conviction has been towards the Ark project yet I am not 'begging for factory" as so many haters of the Church pretending to love the poor do on social media..

In fact whenever the mention of the Ark is made in church, it's always as a testimony or a point of thanksgiving. Prayers of thanksgiving for the Ark commenced on 17th March 2025.

It has been said that if not that the project is so close to Faith Tabernacle and too big to ignore, nobody would have known that such a gargantuan project was going on. Bishop Oyedepo's mantra remains Matthew 6:33...Seek ye first the Kingdom.... and all these things (that others are dying to get) shall be added..." Thus focusing on soul winning and not fundraising throughout the period of the mega project. He has rather emphasized reaching souls, bringing them to Church and nurturing them to growth. By so doing, souls like the harvest are preserved and the role of the Church as the Barn for harvested souls from the vineyard is maintained. There have been many instances of newly won converts including children bringing in more souls such as members of their families and loved ones to be nurtured by the Word.

Many may ask, how then is the Ark being funded? The answer lies in the first example of the Tabernacle of Moses-Spirit led sacrificial giving. As far as I can remember, during Shiloh 2015, Faith Theatre (as the Ark was then called) was introduced to the Church. It was announced that the annual Shiloh sacrifice of that year would go towards the Ark, the announcement was made again at Shiloh 2023. Personally I disregarded the quietness of the Church and went in search of the Ark Project account details. I succeeded after almost a year as it was eventually made public after 3 years. Never have I seen an organization which keeps project account details away from the public until the Ark project. The aim of keeping the account details away from the people was to keep the congregation away from any kind of pressure.

Oyedepo tells the story of how he and other leaders in the early days of the Church decided to stretch themselves to raise money to pay the Church rent of ₦3000 after a member who pledged suddenly disappointed and announcement could not be made in Church which would embarrass the pledger and put the whole Church under undue pressure.
The Mandate states that:
The Church members or public must never be put under any kind of pressure to give towards any kind of project. Launching and appeal funds are prohibited.

Additionally it says:
All recurrent financial obligations must be given priority over project disbursement.
It goes further to instruct:

On no account should recurrent financial obligations to staff or third parties be delayed due to project execution.

It then concludes on projects:
Effort to provide appropriate facilities shall not be allowed to hinder spiritual growth of the Church.

Today the Ark is heading towards completion with breakneck speed and noiselessly yet none except outsiders, onlookers, the gates of hell and the gates of men such as factory beggars who do not give but want to convert kingdom resources (whose God is their belly) are against the project and hide behind their keypads to type like sons of belial.

Some of the people criticizing the building of the Ark will rather spend time on TV watching football in some of the best stadia in the world then engage also in gambling. Same people will rather see football stadia and betting centres filled than the Church filled. It's not really about the growth of the Kingdom but an anti kingdom and Judas Iscariot mindset.

For these, the response is that the Church of Christ is not built to satisfy the gates of hell...and of men. That must have been why the Lord Jesus Christ Affirmed...

... And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow to it. Isaiah 2:2

Notably, the Kingdom Care as well as Transport Schemes were initiated or re-introduced to cater primarily for challenged members of the Church. Also no offering whatsoever is raised in services with regards to the Ark project whether in Canaanland or any branch/parish since inception. I believe that this has never happened for a project anywhere close to this in the history of Christianity. No special offerings, no special group of sponsors, no nothing, yet on a personal note, my biggest givings towards any building project in my life by plain conviction has been towards the Ark project yet I am not 'begging for factory" as so many haters of the Church pretending to love the poor do on social media..

In fact whenever the mention of the Ark is made in church, it's always as a testimony or a point of thanksgiving. Prayers of thanksgiving for the Ark commenced on 17th March 2025.

It has been said that if not that the project is so close to Faith Tabernacle and too big to ignore, nobody would have known that such a gargantuan project was going on. Bishop Oyedepo's mantra remains Matthew 6:33...Seek ye first the Kingdom.... and all these things (that others are dying to get) shall be added..." Thus focusing on soul winning and not fundraising throughout the period of the mega project. He has rather emphasized reaching souls, bringing them to Church and nurturing them to growth. By so doing, souls like the harvest are preserved and the role of the Church as the Barn for harvested souls from the vineyard is maintained. There have been many instances of newly won converts including children bringing in more souls such as members of their families and loved ones to be nurtured by the Word.

Many may ask, how then is the Ark being funded? The answer lies in the first example of the Tabernacle of Moses-Spirit led sacrificial giving. As far as I can remember, during Shiloh 2015, Faith Theatre (as the Ark was then called) was introduced to the Church. It was announced that the annual Shiloh sacrifice of that year would go towards the Ark, the announcement was made again at Shiloh 2023. Personally I disregarded the quietness of the Church and went in search of the Ark Project account details. I succeeded after almost a year as it was eventually made public after 3 years. Never have I seen an organization which keeps project account details away from the public until the Ark project. The aim of keeping the account details away from the people was to keep the congregation away from any kind of pressure.

Oyedepo tells the story of how he and other leaders in the early days of the Church decided to stretch themselves to raise money to pay the Church rent of ₦3000 after a member who pledged suddenly disappointed and announcement could not be made in Church which would embarrass the pledger and put the whole Church under undue pressure.
The Mandate states that:
The Church members or public must never be put under any kind of pressure to give towards any kind of project. Launching and appeal funds are prohibited.

Additionally it says:
All recurrent financial obligations must be given priority over project disbursement.
It goes further to instruct:

On no account should recurrent financial obligations to staff or third parties be delayed due to project execution.

It then concludes on projects:
Effort to provide appropriate facilities shall not be allowed to hinder spiritual growth of the Church.

Today the Ark is heading towards completion with breakneck speed and noiselessly yet none except outsiders, onlookers, the gates of hell and the gates of men such as factory beggars who do not give but want to convert kingdom resources (whose God is their belly) are against the project and hide behind their keypads to type like sons of belial.

Some of the people criticizing the building of the Ark will rather spend time on TV watching football in some of the best stadia in the world then engage also in gambling. Same people will rather see football stadia and betting centres filled than the Church filled. It's not really about the growth of the Kingdom but an anti kingdom and Judas Iscariot mindset.

For these, the response is that the Church of Christ is not built to satisfy the gates of hell...and of men. That must have been why the Lord Jesus Christ Affirmed...

... And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow to it. Isaiah 2:2
