*RECEIVE THIS DECLARATION BY THE PROPHET OF GOD!*

This is your season to function fully in your calling. As you walk in the plan of God, nothing shall be lacking.

You are anointed, covered, and positioned for influence. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The oil on your life shall not be stolen. You rise from glory to glory, with greater doors, greater heights, and divine connections opening to you.

You are a wonder-established by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name.

*START YOUR DAY WITH GOD...*

*SHINE AS THE LIGHT*


*Isaiah 49:6*
_"And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."_


God never calls us without a purpose. He raises us, heals us, transforms us, so we can be carriers of His light to others. We are called not only to receive light but to be the light. Our opening scripture reveals a divine assignment: God did not save us to sit in silence. He saved us, so through us, others can come to Him, and be restored to their original identity in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, you must know that soulwinning is not just the work of the pulpit, but the duty of every believer. God has positioned you as a light in your home, workplace, school, and community. Through your words, choices, and lifestyle, others can find their way back to God. Whether you’re walking through a mall, sitting in traffic, attending a gathering, or just living your daily life; these are all moments where your life can reflect His goodness.

Today, ask God to help you see those around you through His eyes. Pray for courage to speak, and wisdom to act. Let your light be a spark that ignites hope in someone else. Do not keep it hidden—shine! Hallelujah!

So today, let the restored you rise. Walk with confidence. Live from a place of freedom. And embrace all that is yours in Christ. Hallelujah!

WHY AFRICANS PRAY MORE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS BECAUSE IN AFRICA, GOD DOES THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT!

1. ELECTRICITY
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, let there be light! Even if it’s for 2 hours!”
EUROPE:
“This LED bulb is too yellow, I’m returning it.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, power supply is a prayer point.
In Europe, it’s a basic right.

2. WATER SUPPLY
AFRICA:
“God, let it rain so we can fetch water!”
EUROPE:
“My shower is too cold. Fix it or I sue!”
TRUTH:
In Europe, taps flow.
In Africa, faith flows.

3. JOBS & EMPLOYMENT
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, bless me with any job. Even volunteer, I’ll manage!”
EUROPE:
“I’m rejecting that role. The salary doesn’t reflect my worth.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, unemployment is a fasting topic.
In Europe, it’s a policy issue.

4. SECURITY
AFRICA:
“Father, may no stray bullet locate me today!”
EUROPE:
“There’s a suspicious sound outside, police arrived in 4 mins.”
TRUTH:
There, safety is law.
Here, safety is prayer and luck.

5. ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE
AFRICA:
“Lord, don’t let this pothole swallow my destiny.”
EUROPE:
“This small crack on the road is unacceptable!”
TRUTH:
In Africa, a smooth road is a testimony.
In Europe, it’s standard.

6. HEALTHCARE
AFRICA:
“Jesus, let the injection work, and not the side effect!”
EUROPE:
“Therapist booked. Medication free. Follow-up scheduled.”
TRUTH:
One gets healthcare from government.
The other gets hope from prayer warriors.

7. EDUCATION
AFRICA:
“God, let WAEC release results with mercy I sowed a seed !”
EUROPE:
“Government paid for my Master’s. I got a scholarship too.”
TRUTH:
There, education is an investment.
Here, it’s a miracle.

8. PENSION & RETIREMENT 👴🏽
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, don’t let my pension be swallowed by corruption!”
EUROPE:
“I retired. Government sends monthly check.”
REALITY:
Here, retirement is fear and fasting.
There, it’s relaxation and benefits.

9. VISA REQUEST
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, break every generational curse stopping this UK visa!”
EUROPE:
“I need a break. Might fly to Ghana for the weekend.”
REALITY:
In Africa, travelling = fasting, faith, and fire oil.
In Europe, travelling = booking.com and a suitcase.

BUT HERE’S THE REAL PROBLEM…

High death rates

Joblessness

Poor security

Land battles turning spiritual

Sick people dying at church crusades instead of hospitals

…because African leaders ENJOY it when you dump your problems on an imported god instead of holding them accountable!

Why should they build hospitals when you'll run to prayer camps? By his stripes you're healed right?
Why fix the road when your busy praying for travelling mercy on a deadly road?
Why create jobs when your faith says “God will provide”?

They know you won’t protest. You’ll just pray.
And that’s how they win.

AFRICANS WILL RAISE MILLIONS TO BUILD A CATHEDRAL……but won’t donate a dime to upgrade the clinic where their own mothers give birth on rusted beds with no gloves.

We’ll buy:

Imported church instruments

HD projectors

Shiny marble altars

Designer suits for “Papa”

And bulletproof cars for “Daddy G.O”

Meanwhile, the local hospital:

Has no electricity

No running water

One nurse doing the work of five

And a doctor using a torchlight to deliver babies.

AND HERE’S THE PLOT TWIST:
The pastor you’re funding for “God’s work” won’t even treat malaria in that same country.

When he's sick?
Private jet to Europe.
When you're sick?
Pray. Fast. Sow a seed. Hope the hospital has Panadol.

FINAL THOUGHT:
God is NOT your governor.
Angels are NOT civil engineers.
Your miracle is called good governance.

Stop calling on jesus/allah about things your local government chairman should’ve done.

This is why most religious Africans tend to be less or non-religious

I told Jesus I’d build 1,000 churches before I die — Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, says he made a vow to Jesus that he’d build 1,000 churches before leaving the earth.

*OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

*DATE: MONDAY 9TH JUNE 2025.*

*TOPIC: CLEAVE AS ONE, PART 1*

*MEMORIZE*
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 (KJV)

*BIBLE READING: PROVERBS 5:15-21*
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.

*MESSAGE:*
We live in a fast-paced world where many people are chasing wealth and riches at all costs. As a result, many marriages are suffering. In some cases, a husband works in a different state or country while the rest of his family lives in another state or country. Long-distance courtships have existed for a long time, but now, we have long-distance marriages. In truth, however, a long-distance marriage isn’t healthy for any family. A couple can have a short-term arrangement for them to be apart for unavoidable reasons, but this should not be for long.

Many cases of infidelity in marriage result from the absence of one spouse. Sometimes, even married couples that live together practice long-distance marriages. This might be because one spouse leaves for work very early in the morning and gets back very late at night. Such couples are living separate lives, and one or both of the spouses are likely to form connections with the people they spend most of their time with in their spouse's absence. Such connections can turn into ungodly affairs.

As a married fellow, if you notice that you prefer talking to other people than talking to your spouse, there is fire on the mountain. When you prefer spending time outside your home rather than with your spouse, there is trouble. When you prefer discussing intimate issues with your 'friends' of the opposite sex instead of your spouse, you should retrace your steps and work on fixing whatever issues that exist in your marriage. Don't deceive yourself by saying, "I'm not doing anything with that fellow; we are just friends." Most extra-marital relationships start from casual friendships, and after a while, the devil introduces temptations that can lead to sinful acts. I pray that you will overcome any temptation that can destroy your marriage, in Jesus' name.

If you're married, spend more time with your spouse and make him or her your confidant. Go out to fun places and take frequent walks together. At least once a month, dress up and go on a date. Book a hotel room or a private lodge for a weekend at least once every year so you can spend quality time with your spouse, away from all distractions. After your relationship with God, your relationship with your spouse is the most important in your life because God has designed you both to become one, as today's memory verse points out. Be intentional about cleaving to your spouse, and God will bless your marriage, in Jesus' name.

*KEY POINT*
Married people should be intentional about spending quality time with their spouses.

*AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE*

*BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:*
*PSALMS 22 - 27*

*HYMNAL 31 - YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION*
1. Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin; Each victory will help you Some other to win; Fight manfully onward, Dark passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Ask the Saviour to help you
Comfort, strengthen, and keep
you; He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

2. Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain; God's name hold in reverence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

3. To him that overcometh God giveth a crown; through faith we will conquer, though often cast down; he who is our saviour our strength will renew; look ever to Jesus, he'll carry you through.

The Wonders of God..

The Houston International Airport was as crowded as ever with people rushing to catch their flights. And then, in the middle of the crowd, Shadow, an experienced German Shepherd K9 started barking fetociously at a woman waiting in the long queue. It was quite an unprecedented action as she was 7 months pregnant and appeared to be terribly frightened by the dog’s reaction.

Nevertheless, the dogs were rarely wrong and officers asked her to step forward. They conducted a thorough search of her belongings, but found nothing out of the ordinary on her. Yet, Shadow wouldn’t stop sniffing her and barking at her.

The officers were confused and contemplated their next move. Should they let the woman go?

She was heavily pregnant and the entire situation made her upset and uncomfortable.

And then, just as they decided to let her go, Agent Grant remembered that Shadow was also trained as medical alert service dog. Rather than her being a smuggler or carrying a dangerous weapon, could there be something medically wrong with this woman? He wondered.

Just to be sure, he explained to her that Shadow was a special dog and he would like her permission to call the emergency services to check on her. Although she hesitated at first, the woman eventually agreed.

To everyone’s surprise, the medics discovered uterine rupture, which is a serious and rare childbirth complication where the muscle wall of the uterus tears under pressure.

The woman was quickly rushed to the nearby hospital where she was operated and gave birth prematurely.

Her baby was still tiny and placed in an incubator, but luckily, both he and his mother were fine.

That day, Shadow saved two lives. His strong senses allowed him to detect that something wasn’t right with that woman’s child.

Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors and are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies.

A few days after the incident, Shadow and Agent Grant paid the woman a visit at the hospital where she and the staff gave an appreciative “thank you” to Shadow in a brightly lit hospital ward.

Such are the immense wonders of God.
A God who knew in advance and selected an animal to be man's best friend also equipped it with ability to detect when something is wrong medically within a human being.

A God who equipped dogs with up to 300 million scent receptors so that they are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies in a woman it has never seen before..

Something no machine with all its sensors and gadgets can do till date..

What a friend we have in Jesus.. All glory to his name.
