• “People know me as Osuofia. They láugh when they see me in movies, but many don’t know the other side of me.

    Growing up, I saw how póor children sûffered just to go to school. Some had no shoes, no books, and no food. I told myself, “One day, if God blesses me, I will do something.”

    Now, after all these years in Nollywood, I finally did it. I built a free school in Enugu — no school fees, no uniforms, nothing! Just come and learn.

    I named it "Osuofia Foundation Academy" because I want to give back to the same society that gave me fame.

    For me, true success is not in how many cars you drive, but in how many lives you touch.

  • 25 SURE SIGNS YOU ARE READY FOR MARRIAGE


    Marriage is not for boys and girls. It’s for adults—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and financially. Many people walk into marriage unprepared and end up walking out confused. So before you say “I do,” here are 25 signs that you are truly ready for a lifelong commitment:

    1. You are emotionally stable.
    You're not ruled by anger, lust, jealousy, or insecurity. You know how to express emotions in healthy ways.

    You no longer struggle with addictions, irresponsibility, or patterns that could damage your future home.

    3. You have a strong spiritual foundation.
    You can hear God's voice, discern His will, and walk in obedience.

    4. You are mature in age and mindset.
    Ladies, you’re at least 23. Men, you’re at least 25. Not just biologically grown but mentally mature.

    5. You are financially responsible.
    You have a job, a business, or steady income that can sustain you and a family.

    As a man, you don’t live off your parents. You pay your own bills and live in your own space.

    7. You know how to care for others.
    As a woman, you can manage yourself and others with joy—not with stress or complaints.

    8. You love children.
    You don’t just tolerate kids; you look forward to nurturing the next generation.

    9. You’re domestically skilled.
    Cooking, cleaning, and organizing are not strange to you—they’re part of your daily life.

    10. You can thrive far from your family.
    You're not emotionally dependent on mummy and daddy to function or make decisions.

    11. You take full responsibility for your life.
    You own your choices and can deal with the consequences maturely.

    12. You are not controlled by your parents.
    You honor them, but your life isn't dictated by their preferences.

    13. You don’t yield to peer pressure.
    You do what's right, even when it's unpopular.

    14. You’re $exually disciplined.
    You can say NO to premarital $ex—not because you’re forced, but because you value purity.

    15. You honor authority.
    Ladies, you're respectful and submissive—not just to a man, but to God and legitimate authority.

    16. You respect women.
    Men, you love your mother, honor your sisters, and treat every woman with dignity.

    17. You understand money.
    You know how to earn, save, invest, and manage finances without being reckless.

    18. You are generous and kind.
    You give with joy—not grudgingly. You're not stingy with your time, love, or money.

    19. You are faithful.
    You're not dating two or three people “just in case.” You're loyal and intentional.

    20. You are purpose-driven.
    You know what God has called you to do, and you’re taking steps daily to get there.

    21. You desire to build others.
    You're not just looking for someone to make you happy—you want to help your spouse fulfill destiny.

    22. You have control over your $ex drive.
    Your body doesn't control you—you control your body.

    23. You have healed from past relationships.
    You’re not bitter, wounded, or suspicious. You’ve forgiven, grown, and moved forward.

    24. You’re willing to learn and grow.
    You’re teachable, open to correction, and you seek wise counsel.

    25. You understand that marriage is ministry.
    You see marriage as a place to serve, grow, and honor God—not just to be loved or have sex.

    Marriage is not an emergency. It’s a journey that requires maturity—physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and psychological. Don’t rush into it because of pressure, age, or loneliness.

    Wait until you’re ready. You’ll thank yourself later.

    May God grant you the wisdom to prepare and the grace to build a godly home when the time comes.

  • *"I will always keep my promise to him, and my covenant with him will last forever".*
    _Psalm 89:28_

    In the remaining days of this Month of July, I decree that your desired glory shall be released to you in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
    I bless you with the blessings of the Lord today. By the power in the *Blood of Jesus, I invoke the best of luck towards you and provoke help from above upon your life in the precious Name of Jesus Christ* I speak as God's mouthpiece, an oracle and profess that *God's grace and peace shall be your portion and you shall find favour with God and all men and women in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.*
    Whatever that the devil has programmed into your life to destroy you, die now by fire in Jesus' Name. I pray that everything that the devil has taken away from you shall be restored in millions of folds in this month in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Every pollution in your spiritual life, be purged out with the Holy Ghost fire in the Name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit will visit the dark room of your life and destiny and expose every unwanted material that could destroy you in the Name of Jesus. I crush every satanic foundation in your family, that has said that your destiny will not be reached in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Every evil decree and curse issued against you shall bounce back to the enemy now in Jesus' Name. Let every impossibilty fashioned against your elevation receive permanent failure in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
    Every satanic agent deflecting your blessings shall stumble and fall to rise no more in Jesus' Mighty Name. I pray as I command every evil power drinking the milk and honey of your life to begin to vomit them now in the Name of Jesus. Let every satanic decision and judgement against your life be rendered null and void in the Name of Jesus. Every astral projection against your life shall encounter failure this day in the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ the Lord I Pray. I decree fruitfulness in every area of your life through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

    _Have A Glorious And Prosperous Monday And Week._

  • Discover Your "Why":

    Your "why" is the core reason behind everything you do—it's the foundation on which your goals stand and the source of true meaning in your actions. It represents the deep, personal motivation that fuels your dreams and ambitions, giving them life beyond just tasks or outcomes.

    When you clearly identify your "why," you uncover the values, passions, and beliefs that drive your journey. This understanding becomes a powerful tool that helps you push through obstacles, stay focused when distractions arise, and bounce back stronger after setbacks. It’s not just about reaching a destination; it’s about embracing a purpose that makes every step meaningful.

    Your "why" acts as both an emotional compass and a philosophical anchor. It links your daily efforts to your core principles and long-term aspirations, ensuring that your pursuit of success is not just effective but also deeply fulfilling and sustainable. In essence, knowing your "why" transforms your path into a purposeful journey of growth, resilience, and lasting achievement.

  • Just be honest with me or stay away from me. It's not that difficult.
    I'm not asking for the world—I’m asking for something simple, something that should be the foundation of every connection: honesty. If you can't be real with me, if your words are coated in lies or your presence is just a disguise for manipulation, then please don’t waste my time. I’ve dealt with enough mixed signals, half-truths, broken promises, and people who only show up when it's convenient for them. I’m not here to decode your silence or question your motives.

    If you can’t give me clarity, then give me space. If your loyalty is conditional, if your intentions shift with the wind, if your words and actions don’t match—then walk away. I’m not begging for effort from people who treat consistency like an option. My peace is more important than your confusion. I value genuine energy, straightforward communication, and people who know how to mean what they say.

    So don’t come into my life if you don’t plan on staying with honesty. Don’t pretend to care if you’re only here to benefit yourself. Either show up with truth and transparency—or don’t show up at all.

  • *OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

    *DATE: SUNDAY, JULY 13TH, 2025*

    *THEME: HELPMEET INDEED 1*

    *MEMORISE:*
    *“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.” - (Proverbs 31:11)*

    *READ: Proverbs 31:10-31 (KJV)*

    10. Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

    11. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.

    12. She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.

    13. She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.

    14. She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.

    15. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.

    16. She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.

    17. She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.

    18. She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.

    19. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.

    20. She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

    21. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

    22. She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

    23. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

    24. She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants.

    25. Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.

    26. She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

    27. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

    28. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:

    29. "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."

    30. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

    31. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.

    *MESSAGE:*

    A helpmeet is a wife who complements and supports her husband to fulfil God's purpose for their lives even when it is not convenient.

    God ordained marriage as an institution where a wife helps her husband instead of competing with him, as the world paints it today. Just as the individuals in a team cannot compete against their teammates and expect to win, couples who compete against each other should not expect a successful marriage. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). A husband and his wife are one and should work together as a team to achieve success in their marriage and in life (Mark 10:7-8)

    Some highly successful women have allowed pride into their hearts such that they stop submitting to their husbands. Up until today, my wife cooks my meals. When the situation permits, she irons my clothes, and I iron hers too. When I was a teacher, and we were living in a remote location, she used to cut my hair. Just like the virtuous woman's husband in today's Bible reading, my heart safely trusts in her. She is never too busy to help me, and she upholds anything I uphold.

    I remember when we were building the Mount Carmel Prayer Village. It was a massive project, but I went there only thrice - the day the foundation laying ceremony was done, the day I decided to take my grandchildren there, and the day the completed project was dedicated. Throughout the duration of the construction, my wife supervised the project diligently - that is a helpmeet indeed! She is always willing to go through the necessary rigours to see that I achieve my goal. She has stood by me through thick and thin, which is why she has full access to everything God blesses me with. When a responsible man has a true helpmeet as a wife, he'll go the extra mile to protect her and make her comfortable and happy. I often say that a fellow can slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek, but if anyone touches my wife, such a fellow will have my God, the Consuming Fire, to contend with.

    As a wife, can your husband rely on you? You must be able to make up for his weaknesses, celebrate his successes, and be his number one cheerleader. If you are a man that has a helpmeet indeed by his side, you must nourish and cherish her. She is a priceless gem and must be treated as one.

    *PRAYER POINT:*
    Today is my wife's birthday, please join me to pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and uphold her.

    *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
    Song of Solomon 1-4

    *AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE*

    *HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS*

    1. I want to be like Jesus,
    So lowly and so meek;
    For no one mark'd an angry word,
    That ever heard Him speak.

    2. I want to be like Jesus,
    So frequently in prayer;
    Alone upon the mountain top,
    He met his Father there.

    3. I want to be like Jesus,
    I never, never find
    That He, though persecuted was
    To any one unkind.

    4. I want to be like Jesus,
    Engaged in doing good;
    So that of me it may be said
    "He hath done what he could."

    5. I want to be like Jesus,
    Who sweetly said to all,
    "Let little children come to Me;"
    I would obey the call.

    6. But oh I'm not like Jesus,
    As any one may see;
    O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
    And make me like to Thee.

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. 11. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. 12. She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. 13. She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands. 14. She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar. 15. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants. 16. She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard. 17. She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms. 18. She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night. 19. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle. 20. She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. 21. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet. 22. She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. 24. She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants. 25. Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come. 26. She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. 27. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: 29. "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all." 30. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. *MESSAGE:* A helpmeet is a wife who complements and supports her husband to fulfil God's purpose for their lives even when it is not convenient. God ordained marriage as an institution where a wife helps her husband instead of competing with him, as the world paints it today. Just as the individuals in a team cannot compete against their teammates and expect to win, couples who compete against each other should not expect a successful marriage. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). A husband and his wife are one and should work together as a team to achieve success in their marriage and in life (Mark 10:7-8) Some highly successful women have allowed pride into their hearts such that they stop submitting to their husbands. Up until today, my wife cooks my meals. When the situation permits, she irons my clothes, and I iron hers too. When I was a teacher, and we were living in a remote location, she used to cut my hair. Just like the virtuous woman's husband in today's Bible reading, my heart safely trusts in her. She is never too busy to help me, and she upholds anything I uphold. I remember when we were building the Mount Carmel Prayer Village. It was a massive project, but I went there only thrice - the day the foundation laying ceremony was done, the day I decided to take my grandchildren there, and the day the completed project was dedicated. Throughout the duration of the construction, my wife supervised the project diligently - that is a helpmeet indeed! She is always willing to go through the necessary rigours to see that I achieve my goal. She has stood by me through thick and thin, which is why she has full access to everything God blesses me with. When a responsible man has a true helpmeet as a wife, he'll go the extra mile to protect her and make her comfortable and happy. I often say that a fellow can slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek, but if anyone touches my wife, such a fellow will have my God, the Consuming Fire, to contend with. As a wife, can your husband rely on you? You must be able to make up for his weaknesses, celebrate his successes, and be his number one cheerleader. If you are a man that has a helpmeet indeed by his side, you must nourish and cherish her. She is a priceless gem and must be treated as one. *PRAYER POINT:* Today is my wife's birthday, please join me to pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and uphold her. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* Song of Solomon 1-4 *AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE* *HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS* 1. I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak. 2. I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there. 3. I want to be like Jesus, I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To any one unkind. 4. I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said "He hath done what he could." 5. I want to be like Jesus, Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call. 6. But oh I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee.

    1. Use the "3 Rs" of apology: Regret, Responsibility, and Remedy
    Regret the hurt caused, take responsibility for your actions, and suggest a remedy for moving forward.

    2. Be sincere and genuine in your apology
    Authenticity is key. A half-hearted apology can often do more harm than good.

    3. Listen actively to your partner's concerns
    Give your partner space to express their feelings and truly listen without interrupting or defending yourself.

    4. Validate your partner's feelings and experiences
    Acknowledge that your partner's feelings are valid, even if you didn’t intend to hurt them.

    5. Offer a specific solution or plan for change
    Demonstrate your commitment to improving by offering a clear solution or changes you’ll make moving forward.

    6. Follow through on your commitments
    An apology is only meaningful if it’s backed up by action. Ensure that you take steps to avoid repeating the same mistake.

    7. Show empathy and understanding
    Show that you truly understand how your actions have impacted your partner, not just in words but in actions as well.

    8. Be patient and open to feedback
    Healing takes time. Be patient with your partner and open to hearing how they feel, even if it takes time to forgive.

    TIPS FOR MEN

    1. Swallow your pride and admit fault
    It takes strength to admit when you’re wrong. Let go of your ego to foster a deeper connection.

    2. Use "I" statements to take ownership
    Phrases like “I am sorry for…” rather than “You made me do…” put the responsibility on you.

    3. Avoid making excuses or justifying
    Resist the urge to explain away the mistake. Just apologize and focus on your partner’s feelings.

    4. Show vulnerability and emotional intelligence
    Being open about your emotions builds trust and shows that you care about your partner's feelings.

    5. Be willing to make amends
    Your partner should feel that your apology is sincere, so be prepared to make real changes if necessary.



    TIPS FOR WOMEN

    1. Communicate clearly and assertively
    Share your feelings honestly and directly, avoiding passive-aggressive behavior or withholding.

    2. Specify what you need from your partner
    Let your partner know what will help resolve the issue or what you need moving forward.

    3. Avoid being critical or judgmental
    Offer a soft, loving approach when addressing the issue, rather than criticizing or pointing fingers.

    4. Show appreciation for your partner's apology
    When your partner apologizes, acknowledge their effort and express gratitude for their sincerity.

    5. Encourage open and honest communication
    Foster a space where both partners can freely express their feelings without fear of judgment.

    WHEN TO APOLOGIZE

    1. After a conflict or argument
    Don’t wait for too long to apologize. Address the issue as soon as possible to prevent lingering resentment.

    2. When you've hurt or offended your partner
    If your words or actions have caused pain, it’s important to recognize that and apologize immediately.

    3. When you've made a mistake or error
    A simple acknowledgment that you were wrong goes a long way in healing wounds.

    4. When you've broken a promise or commitment
    If you’ve failed to keep your word, apologize and demonstrate that you can be trusted moving forward.

    5. When you've disregarded your partner's feelings
    Apologizing when you’ve been insensitive shows respect for your partner's emotional well-being.

    Saying sorry isn’t just about saying words; it’s about understanding, acknowledging, and healing. By apologizing effectively, you strengthen your relationship, deepen trust, and build a stronger foundation for the future.
