*ALL COUPLES SHOULD BE PATIENT TO READ THIS WRITEUP TO THE END* Susan attended a funeral service of her friend who lost her husband at Langata Cemetery. Susan held her wailing friend strongly as the casket was lowered into the freshly dug grave. Susan's friend was screaming "My husband don't leave me, please, don't leave me!" as people looked on feeling sad for her. The children were screaming too. Losing a father is not an easy thing. If not for Susan, the friend would have thrown herself into the grave to be buried with her husband who died of suicide. Because, the husband found no meaning in life and he killed himself. Susan remembered the many times the friend would say she is tired of her good for nothing husband and here she is screaming and feeling lost because the husband is no more. The friend cried till she fainted. Susan and others there carried the devasted woman to an ambulance for first aid. As Susan watched the spectacle of broken hearts crying for a man who will never ever come back, Susan remembered her husband. Susan remembered how much she takes her husband for granted. How she talks to him however she pleases. How she gives him prolonged silent treatment over issues they can easily resolve. How she denied him sex many times. And she asked herself "What if it my husband that is buried today how would I feel?" Susan thought. Susan remembered that she argued with her husband and he left the house with tension between them just because after all these years, he still leaves his plate in the living room instead of taking it to the sink after eating. "God forbid that my husband die, but what if as my husband went out in anger and never returns and passes on, is this the last memory I would like my husband and I to have?" She thought again. Susan began to remember all the wonderful things her husband has done in the past, which she never taught of before except complaining. Now, in her heart, she began to appreciate him for all his efforts no matter how small it was. At that moment, she realise her areas of improvement, and said to herself "there is no other man I would rather share my life with than my loving husband." She thought of life without him and it scared her. And said, "I would rather have disagreements with my loving husband than to lose him to death. I prefer his sense of humour and laughter than to cry for losing him." That evening, after Susan took her widowed friend to a safe place, she passed by at the supermarket and bought her husband a card saying "Thank you for being in my life" And when she got home, she cooked her husband's favourite meal and asked her children to join her in celebrating her husband. That night, her husband came home expecting a fight from Susan, but instead, he got greeting and hugs from Susan and the children. He was welcomed with songs, dancing and laughter, cute drawings of him with warm messages from the children, a home cooked meal, pleasant conversations. And Susan's husband bust into tears when Susan and the children told him how much they love him and then surrounded him to pray for him. A grown man cried like a baby because of love. He felt needed and he asked them "Is today father's day?" Susan looked into his eyes and said, "No, it is lovers day. Because, everyday is special with you around me from now on, we will do nothing but love each other. I don't know how long we have to live together, but it will not be wasted by fights, misunderstanding, complains and lack of appreciation. In case you have forgotten, "I love you" "I love you too" said Susan's husband as he kissed and hugged Susan, the children dancing and cheering on. Children long for a home where mom and dad give each other warmth. Since then, both Susan and her husband have been a stronger and more loving couple after realizing that tomorrow is not guaranteed. ~ Sometimes the death of someone wakes us up to the reality of life. ~ Don't let the death of your spouse wake you up to the reality of life, it will be too late. ~ God forbid, if your spouse die today, will you regret how you have been treating him/her? ~ Do you think living alone without your spouse will be joyful to you? ~ Will you be able to transfer your children to another man or woman whom they have not grown to know? ~ If you decide to be a single father or mother, will you be able to do the job alone? ~ Can you stand the pain of your kids asking why they don't have a father or mother like others? ~ What is it that you cannot mend in your marriage? ~ No doubt its not easy, but prayerfully love your spouse while he/she lives. It rubs on the children as well. So mend your home, don't destroy it.

How to Show Love Without Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words Love is a language that goes beyond words. While verbal expressions are important, the most profound ways of showing love often lie in our actions. Sometimes, your gestures, attention, and thoughtfulness can speak volumes about your feelings, building a deeper connection with your partner. Here’s how you can express love without saying a single word. 1. Be Present and Attentive One of the greatest gifts you can give your partner is your undivided attention. In a world filled with distractions, being present in the moment is a powerful act of love. Put down your phone, look into their eyes, and truly listen. When you show that you value their thoughts and emotions, it communicates care and respect more effectively than words ever could. 2. Perform Small Acts of Kindness It’s the little things that count. Bringing them their favourite coffee, cooking a meal, or simply doing a chore they dislike can brighten their day. These acts of kindness show that you pay attention to their needs and want to make their life easier. 3. Physical Touch Non-verbal communication through physical touch is a cornerstone of expressing love. A warm hug, holding hands, or a gentle pat on the back can convey comfort, security, and affection. These simple gestures remind your partner that you are there for them, offering support and love. 4. Quality Time Spending quality time together strengthens the bond between you and your partner. Plan activities they enjoy, go for a walk or watch a movie together. By dedicating time to shared experiences, you show that their presence is a priority in your life. 5. Thoughtful Surprises Surprises, big or small, are wonderful ways to express love. It could be as simple as leaving a handwritten note or as elaborate as planning a surprise date. These thoughtful gestures show that you’ve been thinking about them and want to make them feel special. 6. Body Language Your body language speaks volumes. A loving glance, a soft smile, or even sitting close during a quiet moment can express feelings of love and comfort. Non-verbal cues are subtle but powerful ways to show how much you care. 7. Support Their Dreams Encourage your partner’s passions and goals. Being their cheerleader and offering your support, whether it’s attending their events, helping them prepare, or simply showing interest, is a profound way to demonstrate your love. Your belief in their abilities can inspire confidence and strengthen your connection. 8. Be Thoughtful and Observant Noticing the little things about your partner shows how much you care. Remember their preferences, pay attention to their mood, and anticipate their needs. For example, offering comfort when they’re stressed or celebrating their small achievements shows that you’re attuned to their life. 9. Acts of Service Actions often speak louder than words, especially when it comes to love. Help them with a task, run an errand, or fix something around the house. These acts of service show your partner that you’re willing to put in the effort to make their life easier and happier. 10. Respect Their Space Sometimes, love means giving space. Respect their boundaries and allow them time to recharge when needed. This shows that you value their individuality and understand their need for balance in the relationship. 11. Express Gratitude Showing appreciation is a beautiful way to convey love. A genuine smile, a nod of acknowledgment, or a small token of gratitude can mean the world to your partner. Gratitude fosters positivity and strengthens emotional intimacy. 12. Be Consistent Love is not just about grand gestures but also about consistent efforts. Small, daily acts of love build a foundation of trust and affection. Whether it’s making them a morning coffee or simply being there when they need you, consistency reassures your partner of your unwavering love. Final Thoughts Love is an art that doesn’t always require words. Through actions, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness, you can create a relationship that thrives on mutual respect and understanding. At the end of the day, love is about making your partner feel cherished, secure, and valued. Speak through your actions, and you’ll discover that the language of love is truly universal.

**HOW TO LOVE AND HELP YOUR HUSBAND 👱‍♀💃** *"An excellent wife is the crown of her husband." - Proverbs 12:4* 1. **Respect Him Unconditionally.** Listen to him and ask for his opinion. Value his advice and follow his guidance. Men have a deep need for respect, so show it in your tone of voice during conversations and how you approach him, especially when you disagree. Ensure your children respect their dad in the same way. Prioritize him over the children and teach them to do the same. Let him know his thoughts matter and that you truly value his input. 2. **Accept Your Husband as Your Spiritual Leader.** Men are created to lead the family, which doesn’t imply that women are any less significant. It means God has equipped men with certain skills to effectively guide their families. As stated in Ephesians 5:22-23, “the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church.” Accepting your husband as your spiritual leader involves recognizing and supporting his role in guiding the family’s spiritual life. Allow him to lead in prayer, Bible study, and spiritual decisions while also contributing your own insights to enrich your family’s faith journey. If he’s struggling in this area, offer your support and encourage him to seek guidance from trusted sources or professional help if necessary. 3. **Listen More.** Engage and listen when he speaks. While you might want to make him smile, your willingness to listen can be even more impactful. 4. **Be the Best Version of Yourself.** Show love by striving to become the best person you can be. Your happiness will positively affect your husband’s well-being too. 5. **Contribute Financially.** Marriage is teamwork; be willing to share your financial resources to help pay the bills. Avoid being stingy with your money. 6. **Be Caring and Compassionate.** Support him when he has a bad day or celebrate with him on a good day. Show your love and care without waiting for him to get sick or need assistance. Simple gestures like a cup of coffee in bed or a cuddle can mean a lot. 7. **Support His Dreams.** Be flexible and willing to sacrifice for your husband’s goals. A supportive wife allows a man to push his limits and achieve success. Stand by him as a team, working together toward daily routines and long-term ambitions. 8. **Love Him Unconditionally.** Be there for him through good times and bad, demonstrating unwavering love. 9. **Give Small Gifts.** Make your husband feel special every day, not just on special occasions. 10. **Maintain His Wardrobe.** Wash and iron his clothes, including underwear. 11. **Celebrate His Achievements.** Recognize and celebrate his successes, no matter how small. 12. **Discipline Your Children Together.** Avoid saying, “I will report you to your daddy.” Work as a team in parenting. 13. **Spend Money Wisely.** Utilize any money he gives you judiciously, showing you value his contributions. 14. **Submit to Him** as your lord and king. 15. **Pray for Him Regularly.** Let him know you’re praying for his well-being, demonstrating care for his spiritual life. 16. **Comfort and Console Him.** Be there to provide strength and support whenever he needs it. 17. **Be Intimate.** Prioritize your physical relationship and do not neglect your s€xual intimacy. 18. **Keep a Clean Home.** Maintain a tidy and organized living space. 19. **Prepare Timely Meals.** Ensure he is fed and nourished regularly. 20. **Show Appreciation.** Praise him and express gratitude. Encouragement can motivate him to go the extra mile for you. 21. **Make Him Laugh.** Lighten the mood by making him laugh daily. **COUPLES WHO HELP EACH OTHER CAN NEVER BE HELPLESS** You will not fail in marriage, in Jesus' name. Please share this message with your loved ones. 🙏

Check your wife. Not just if she’s okay, but really okay. Did she eat today? Did she get to rest, or did she spend the day chasing little feet and cleaning up little messes? Did she get a moment of silence, or was her head filled with crying, calling, and chaos? Check her heart. Is it heavy? Is she overwhelmed but doesn’t want to bother anyone with her feelings? Is she tired of being strong all the time? Check her eyes. Are they tired from all the things she’s trying to hold together? Are they longing for a little affection, appreciation, or just a simple, “Thank you, love”? Check your wife. She’s not just the mother of your children, She’s still the woman who once dreamed of her own life too. And sometimes, all she needs is someone to say, “Love, I see you. I’m proud of you. How can I help you today?”

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has gifted brand-new Changan CS55 SUVs to all Local Government Chairmen across the state. The Changan CS55, named Nigeria’s Car of the Year 2024, boasts modern safety features like lane-keeping assist and traffic jam assist. Sources also confirm that similar vehicles will soon be presented to Local Government Vice Chairmen and other key appointees. Governor Seyi Makinde’s bold gesture of gifting Changan CS55 SUVs to all Local Government Chairmen has drawn admiration for its symbolism of leadership empowerment and appreciation. However, keen observers may ask; Is this strategic empowerment or a subtle reinforcement of political loyalty? In a state where grassroots development remains crucial, some may wonder how such a high-profile move aligns with the pressing infrastructural needs of rural communities. Moreover, as expectations of leadership evolve, are we gradually normalizing luxury as a defining symbol of public service? Still, it cannot be denied that Governor Makinde has consistently raised the bar in responsive governance, his proactive style and people-centered policies continue to set him apart as one of Nigeria’s most visionary leaders. Congratulations to all LG Chairmen.

✍️ *Introduction:* *Ancient people* recognized the *Rainbow* 🌈 as a sign of peace 🕊️ and of harmony ☮️. The ancient Hebrews recognized it as a sign given by the Creator that he wants all living things to live and to flourish 🌻 in peace and harmony; all clans, all tribes, all colors, all faiths, all nations. That between us there should be no division but mutual respect and appreciation 👏🏻 of one another's gifts 🎁 as well as of our differences. In this way we enrich one another by reflecting to one another the beauty and magnificence of the Creator.... "When the Rainbow 🌈 appears in the clouds ☁️ I will remember the everlasting promise 🤝 between me and all living beings on Earth 🌍." 💁🏻‍♀️ Once upon a time, all the colors 🎨 in the world started to quarrel; each claimed that they were the best 🫶, the most important ✊, the most useful 🫴, or the most favorite ❣️. *Green 💚* said, "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for the grass 🌿, the trees 🌴 and the leaves 🍃. Without me all the animals would die. Look out into the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority." *Blue 💙* interrupted, "You only think about the 🌍, but consider the sky 🪂 and the sea 🌊. It is the Water 💧 that is the basis of life and this is drawn up by the clouds ☁️ from the blue sea. The sky gives space, and peace ☮️ and serenity. Without my peace you would all be nothing but busybodies." *Yellow 💛* chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety and warmth into the 🌍. The ☀️ is yellow, the 🌙 is yellow, the stars⭐ are yellow. Every time you look at a 🌻 the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun 🥳." *Orange 🧡* next started to blow its own trumpet, "I am the color of health and strength 💪. I may be scarce but I am precious because I serve the inner needs of human life 🧬. I carry all the important vitamins. Think of the carrots🥕, the pumpkins and the oranges 🍊. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise 🌄, or give you a majestic 🌇, to admire, my beauty 💫 is so striking that no one ever gives another thought to any of you!" *Red ♥️* could stand it no longer. Red shouted 🗣️ out, "I'm the ruler of you all. Blood, life's blood🩸. I am the color of danger and bravery 🤺. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire in the blood🩸. Without me the 🌍 would be as empty as the moon 🌙. I am the color of passion and of 💕, the red 🌹, the poinsettia and the poppy." *Purple 🩷* rose up to its full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power 👑. Kings🫅🏻, chiefs and bishops ✝️have chosen me, for I am the sign of authority and of wisdom. People do not question me. They listen and obey." *Indigo 💜* spoke more quietly than the others, but just as determinedly. "Think of me 😇, I am the color of silence 🤐. You hardly notice me but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep waters💧 You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer 🙇🏻‍♀️and inner peace." And so all the colors went on boasting, each convinced that they were the best. Their quarrelling grew louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash⚡of brilliant white lightning; thunder rolled and boomed out. The suddenly Rain 🌧️ started to pour down relentlessly. The colors all crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort. *Then Rain 🌧️ spoke:* "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the other. Did you not know that the Creator made you all, each for a special purpose, unique and different. The Creator loves 😘 you all, he wants you all. Join hands 🤝 with one another and come with me. He will stretch you across the sky 🌤️ in a great bow of color as a reminder that He loves you all, that you can live together in peace ☮️, a promise that he is with you, a sign of hope for all for tomorrow 🗓️." So whenever He uses a good Rain 🌧️ to wash the world He puts the Rainbow 🌈 in the sky, and when we see it we should remember that He wants us all to appreciate 👏🏻, and live with, each other in peace ☮️ and not try to fight and dominate 🤜🏻 everyone.

WEEK OF SPIRITUAL FOCUS AND EMPOWERMENT UPDATE JUNE THEME: *PREPARING FOR THE KING'S RETURN* DAY TWO: *VITAL PREPARATIONS REQUIRED TO MEET THE KING OF KINGS* SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION AND PRAYERS Revelation 19:1-9 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. PRAYERS 1.

WEEK OF SPIRITUAL FOCUS AND EMPOWERMENT UPDATES JUNE THEME: *PREPARING FOR THE KING'S RETURN* DATE: SUNDAY 1ST JUNE- TUESDAY 3RD JUNE 2025 DAY ONE *AWAKENING YOURSELF TO THE REALITY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.* SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION AND PRAYERS 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. THE GREATEST SERVICE YOU CAN DO TO YOURSELF IS TO GET YOURSELF READY FOR THE LORD'S RETURN. IT IS FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR PERSONAL READINESS FOR THE LORD THAT YOU CAN BE USED TO PREPARE OTHERS FOR THE LORD'S RETURN. PRAYERS 1. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCIES AND GRACE IN SAVING MY SOUL FROM SIN AND FROM SATAN'S BONDAGE. ACCEPT MY SINCERE GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION IN JESUS NAME. 2. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, HELP ME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND TO BE READY IN EVERY WAYS FOR THE FLIGHT, HELP ME TO ALSO AWAKEN OTHERS FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD'S RETURN IN JESUS NAME. 3. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, USE ME AS YOU PLEASE TO DRAW MANY SOULS TO YOU IN THIS REMAINING SHORT TIME BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND HELP ME TO NOT LOSE MYSELF IN THE PROCESS IN JESUS NAME. HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME! JOIN US TODAY FOR CORPORATE PRAYERS IN CHURCH OR ONLINE BY 5PM. SHALOM, MARANATHA!
