• #JESUS MY ROPHEKA !

    Our heavenly Father is the source of all healing. He is the one who mends broken bodies, renews weary souls, and restores what sickness has stolen. His power flows through faith-filled prayer and the quiet yet mighty working of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes healing comes like a sudden sunrise, breaking through the darkness in an instant. Other times, it unfolds gradually, like the steady growth of a seed hidden in soil. Yet in every case, faith is the bridge that connects us to His restorative work, even when our eyes cannot yet see the breakthrough. We can trust His perfect timing, knowing He works all things for our good. Imagine God’s healing power like electricity; always available, just waiting to be released through the switch of faith. Just as light floods a room when the connection is made, divine wholeness flows when we align our hearts with His promises. The more we immerse ourselves in Scripture and grow in understanding of His nature, the more confidently we can partner with Him in prayer.
    Healing is not merely something God does for us, but something He often does with us, as we stand in faith and declare His truth over our lives. The Word of God carries resurrection power; where it is spoken in faith, miracles follow. We must remember that faith is the hand that receives what grace freely offers. Without it, we remain like a lamp unplugged; surrounded by power, yet untouched by its energy. But when we anchor our hearts in God’s word and respond with bold belief, we position ourselves for God’s healing touch. His promises are not distant hopes, but present realities for those who dare to trust Him. Today, may we open our hearts afresh to His restoring power, knowing that our faithful God is still making all things new.

    Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (KJV)

  • *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

    DATE: MONDAY 21ST JULY 2025

    THEME: *WHY SUFFERING PRECEDES BREAKTHROUGHS?*

    MEMORIZE
    Hebrews 5:8
    Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

    READ
    Hebrews 2:5-10, 14-18
    For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
    But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
    Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
    Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
    But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
    For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
    Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
    And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
    For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
    Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
    For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *You cannot have the crown without the cross.*

    MESSAGE
    Why does God allow suffering before every breakthrough?

    There is something very powerful that suffering does in us more than anything else.

    Before every breakthrough, there will be suffering, not maybe or possibly, but certainly. This is not because God is cruel, but He is preparing you for something greater than you could ever imagine.

    Suffering is not His absence. It is His presence.

    It is in the fire where your character is forged, where your faith is stretched, where pride dies, where humility is born.

    So many run away from the pain crying, God, where are you in all of these troubles. Guess what, He is right there with you in the tears, in the agony, in the silence, He is closer in your suffering than in your comfort.

    When nothing seems to make sense to you, that is when its making the most sense to God.

    The enemy trembles when a child of God walks through the fire and holds on to their praises unto God.

    God does not allow suffering to destroy you but to strip you of everything that cannot stand in His presence.

    Every idol, every illusion, every false hope, every arrogance must be removed.

    The storm comes not to drown you but to expose and to remove everything that was never meant to stay.

    When it's past, what remains will be unshakeable; that is breakthrough.

    Look through the scriptures, Joseph was thrown into a pit, sold into slavery and forgotten, before he ever wore the robe of royalty.

    Moses wandered in the desert for forty years before he parted the red sea. David was hunted and hidden in caves before he wore the crown.

    And Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour endured the cross, despised the shame before wearing the crown of glory. He endured a horrible death before His glorious resurrection.

    You cannot have a resurrection without the crucifixion.

    *You cannot have the crown without the cross.*

    We live in a world where everyone wants instant blessings, but God is not in a hurry; He is raising soldiers, not entertainers. Soldiers are trained in battlefields, not banquet halls.

    God is not absent in your suffering, He is present but silent because the teacher is usually silent during the exams...

    No matter what you may be going through today, hold on. It will soon be over, and you will step into your own breakthroughs in Jesus' name. Amen.

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Thank God for everything that God has allowed you to pass through in your life.
    2. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the lessons you have missed that you still need to move forward.
    3. Pray for the wisdom of relevant applications of truth for your transformation.

    REMEMBER
    *You cannot have the crown without the cross.*

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility of honouring you and becoming the best version of me that is capable of being used of you for the assignment you created me for. Thank you for your mercies and faithfulness in my life. Accept my thanksgiving in Jesus' name. Amen.

    DAILY READING: 1Samuel 14-16; Psalms 45-46; Proverbs 19; Luke 19;

    HYMN
    I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
    And it told Thy love to me ;
    But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
    And be closer drawn to Thee.

    Draw me near - - - er, nearer, blessed Lord,
    To the cross where Thou hast died ;
    Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
    To Thy precious, bleeding side.

    2
    Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
    By the power of grace divine ;
    Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
    And my will be lost in Thine.

    3
    Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
    That before Thy throne I spend,
    When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
    I commune as friend with friend.

    4
    There are depths of love that I cannot know
    Till I cross the narrow sea ;
    There are heights of joy that I may not reach
    Till I rest in peace with Thee.

    "I recognized his weaknesses; the worst being his inability to be loyal to anybody or any issue for long, but only to Nasir El - Rufai".

    "I have heard of how he viciously savaged the reputation of his uncle, a man who was like his foster father".

    "Character wise, Nasir has not much going for him".

    "My vivid recollection of him is his penchant for lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long".

    "I believe that he can still be used in public service under guidance and sufficient oversight, making allowance for the psychology of his petit size".

    "He was described as a malicious liar. He was more than that; he is a pathological purveyor of untruths and half - truths with little or no regard for integrity".

  • CUNNILINGUS TIPS
    The Best Clitoris Toy 🌬
    CUNNILINGUS TIPS
    The Best Clitoris Toy 🌬
    Her clitoris has a favorite toy. And it’s not plastic.
    Yes, the right penetration can get her off. Fingering can too.

    But when it comes to her most intense, consistent, and addictively satisfying orgasms…

    Oral is king.

    Because no finger, no penis, and no toy can mimic the wet, sensual symphony of your tongue, lips, and breath working in perfect unison.

    Let me show you why oral isn’t just a skill—it’s a superpower.

    Your Tongue Is a Precision Weapon of Pleasure
    Your tongue is the only muscle in your body not limited by bones. It’s agile. Soft. Responsive. And it’s packed with sensory receptors that give you instinctive feedback with every flick, press, and swirl.

    It can mimic suction, pulse like a vibrator, move endlessly without tiring.

    And when you add your warm breath and moist lips? The experience becomes deeply human—and insanely erotic.

    That’s what makes it better than anything store-bought.



    Suction, Kissing, and Her Clit’s Hidden Hunger
    Her clitoris isn’t just sensitive—it’s strategic.

    It responds best to variations: soft licking, then deep suction… a flick, then a kiss… a still moment, then sudden pressure.

    And here’s a secret: sucking her clit mimics the exact rhythm of top-selling toys. But you have something better—you’re alive.

    You can tease, adjust, whisper, wait.

    Her body knows the difference.



    Saliva: Nature’s Lube (and Bonding Agent)
    Saliva doesn’t just make things wet—it makes them feel.

    It reduces friction, yes. But more importantly, it blurs the line between skin and desire.

    A wet clitoris reacts differently. Her moans deepen. Her hips roll. Her body trusts.

    And when your spit is dripping down her lips and you don’t stop? That’s when she bonds to you. Not just physically… but emotionally.



    Oral Is More Than a Skill. It’s a Signature.
    A toy gets turned off. A hand gets tired. A penis might need a break.

    But your mouth?

    When mastered—it becomes legendary.

    She’ll crave the feel of your lips between her thighs. She’ll dream about the way your tongue circled, teased, pressed, devoured.

    And when she talks about you to her friends? She’ll whisper one thing:

    “That man’s mouth… changed everything.”

  • The Tale of Alaafin Ajaka and Sango: A Story of Brotherhood, Power, and Legacy in Yoruba History

    The Beginning: Ajaka’s Peaceful Reign

    In the early history of the Oyo Empire, two royal brothers—Ajaka and Sango—would leave a lasting imprint on Yoruba culture, history, and mythology. Both were sons of Oranyan, the founder of the Oyo Empire and a descendant of Oduduwa, the legendary progenitor of the Yoruba people.
    Ajaka, the elder of the two, inherited the throne of Oyo as Alaafin (king). He was known for his calm, diplomatic, and non-aggressive nature. Unlike many of his predecessors who expanded their territory through warfare and power politics, Ajaka chose to rule through peace, tolerance, and dialogue. He emphasized internal development, peaceful coexistence with neighbors, and restraint in conflict.
    However, his peaceful disposition was not well received in a time when strength, military might, and fear were key instruments of governance. His preference for peace was seen by many warriors and chiefs as a weakness, and this sentiment began to grow among the influential Oyo Mesi—the council of kingmakers tasked with keeping the Alaafin in check.

    The Dethronement of Ajaka

    Tension eventually boiled over when Ajaka refused to respond aggressively to provocations from surrounding kingdoms, especially the powerful Owu kingdom. When he avoided military confrontation with Owu and instead sought peaceful negotiation, the Oyo Mesi perceived this as a betrayal of Oyo’s warrior heritage and military dominance.
    The Oyo Mesi, led by Bashorun (the head of the council), used their constitutional power to dethrone Ajaka, sending him into exile. His removal was seen as a corrective measure to restore the authority and reputation of the Oyo throne.
    In his place, the council sought someone with a fiery and commanding presence—Ajaka’s younger brother, Sango, who had been building a name for himself in Nupe country.

    The Rise of Sango

    Sango was everything Ajaka was not. Where Ajaka was calm and diplomatic, Sango was bold, impulsive, and strong-willed. Trained as a warrior and rumored to possess supernatural powers, he had become famous for his magical control of lightning and thunder. He was charismatic, fearless, and deeply respected by military leaders.
    When he took the throne, Sango launched campaigns of expansion, reasserting Oyo’s dominance. Under his rule, Oyo’s military power grew, and he appointed great generals such as Timi Agbale Olofa-Ina and Gbonka, who were instrumental in enforcing Sango's authority.
    But while Sango’s military might restored the glory of the Oyo Empire, his fiery temper and growing pride became his downfall. According to legend, Sango’s magical powers, which he used to call down thunder, accidentally caused a fire that consumed part of his palace. In one version of the tale, he was overcome by guilt and shame and hung himself. In another, he disappeared into the heavens, transforming into an Orisha (deity)—thus becoming the god of thunder and lightning in the Yoruba religion.

    Ajaka's Return to the Throne

    After Sango’s mysterious and tragic end, the Oyo Mesi, now more cautious, looked to the past for stability. They recalled Ajaka from exile and offered him the throne once again, making him one of the very few monarchs in Yoruba history to rule twice.
    This time, Ajaka returned not as a soft ruler, but as a wiser and more assertive king. He had learned from the past and chose to balance peace with strength. While still diplomatic, he no longer tolerated insubordination or external threats without consequence. His second reign was marked by moderation, growth, and a restored sense of unity in the empire.

    Legacy and Significance

    The story of Ajaka and Sango is more than a tale of two brothers—it is a study in the contrast between peaceful diplomacy and militaristic power, between restraint and aggression, between myth and history.
    Sango’s deification and Ajaka’s rare return to the throne show how Yoruba culture weaves human leadership with spiritual symbolism, highlighting that no ruler is perfect, and no form of leadership is absolute. Ajaka’s patience and evolution into a more assertive king suggest that wisdom sometimes lies in waiting, while Sango’s fiery rise and divine transformation reflect the power of passion and destiny.

    What Do You Know About This Story?

    This account is drawn from a blend of oral history, myth, and recorded tradition. Different regions and families may tell it differently. Some say Sango never died but became a god. Others say Ajaka ruled for many more years in peace. What version have you heard?
    What do you know about the story of Ajaka and Sango? What lessons do you think it teaches about leadership, power, and legacy in Yoruba history?

The Oyo Mesi, led by Bashorun (the head of the council), used their constitutional power to dethrone Ajaka, sending him into exile. His removal was seen as a corrective measure to restore the authority and reputation of the Oyo throne. In his place, the council sought someone with a fiery and commanding presence—Ajaka’s younger brother, Sango, who had been building a name for himself in Nupe country. The Rise of Sango Sango was everything Ajaka was not. Where Ajaka was calm and diplomatic, Sango was bold, impulsive, and strong-willed. Trained as a warrior and rumored to possess supernatural powers, he had become famous for his magical control of lightning and thunder. He was charismatic, fearless, and deeply respected by military leaders. When he took the throne, Sango launched campaigns of expansion, reasserting Oyo’s dominance. Under his rule, Oyo’s military power grew, and he appointed great generals such as Timi Agbale Olofa-Ina and Gbonka, who were instrumental in enforcing Sango's authority. But while Sango’s military might restored the glory of the Oyo Empire, his fiery temper and growing pride became his downfall. According to legend, Sango’s magical powers, which he used to call down thunder, accidentally caused a fire that consumed part of his palace. In one version of the tale, he was overcome by guilt and shame and hung himself. In another, he disappeared into the heavens, transforming into an Orisha (deity)—thus becoming the god of thunder and lightning in the Yoruba religion. Ajaka's Return to the Throne After Sango’s mysterious and tragic end, the Oyo Mesi, now more cautious, looked to the past for stability. They recalled Ajaka from exile and offered him the throne once again, making him one of the very few monarchs in Yoruba history to rule twice. This time, Ajaka returned not as a soft ruler, but as a wiser and more assertive king. He had learned from the past and chose to balance peace with strength. While still diplomatic, he no longer tolerated insubordination or external threats without consequence. His second reign was marked by moderation, growth, and a restored sense of unity in the empire. Legacy and Significance The story of Ajaka and Sango is more than a tale of two brothers—it is a study in the contrast between peaceful diplomacy and militaristic power, between restraint and aggression, between myth and history. Sango’s deification and Ajaka’s rare return to the throne show how Yoruba culture weaves human leadership with spiritual symbolism, highlighting that no ruler is perfect, and no form of leadership is absolute. Ajaka’s patience and evolution into a more assertive king suggest that wisdom sometimes lies in waiting, while Sango’s fiery rise and divine transformation reflect the power of passion and destiny. What Do You Know About This Story? This account is drawn from a blend of oral history, myth, and recorded tradition. Different regions and families may tell it differently. Some say Sango never died but became a god. Others say Ajaka ruled for many more years in peace. What version have you heard? What do you know about the story of Ajaka and Sango? What lessons do you think it teaches about leadership, power, and legacy in Yoruba history?

  • THE COVENANT I ASKED MY WIFE TO SIGN BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED

    WHERE THE LOVE OF GOD WILL TAKE YOU, NO CONNECTION ON EARTH CAN GET YOU THERE

    - Bishop David Oyedepo

    Bishop Oyedepo during his message at the Covenant Day Of Marital Breakthrough spoke at length about having a heart for God using the impact his heart for God has had on his life as an illustration. He gave details of the 'Sailing Under Sealed Order' covenant he signed with God in 1976, "If you check the content of my covenant with God in 1976, I said "Henceforth, I turn my back on everything. They are no longer mine but yours. Church Gist. By that time, You should call me to renounce the things I have deprived myself of, I will not ask a question. I told my wife, this is my stand for Jesus. We were not married then, so I asked her "Are you willing to go with this madness? This is the way I will live my life. I have already entered a covenant, my signature is here. It is your own I am waiting for." She signed. I have the signed original paper. You know I keep things. Signed 12th September 1976. That was when she signed, I wrote that thing the day I caught it. See what a heart for God has done in my little life."

    He further shared "We flew into a country without a VISA. They called the Tower and they said there was no record of any VISA here. They asked who was on board, they said it was me. They asked us to wait a minute and then they said, "Okay, on personal recommendation you can land." Do I know them? No! Do they know me? Maybe they do. Church Gist. We spent four nights in that place doing the will of God. Where the love of God will take you, no connection on earth can get you there. I have not seen anything of value added to my life through any connection till date but Jesus. He is more than enough. He is enough for me. The Man of Galilee is enough for me."

    He finally said he will not be tired of his passion for Kingdom advancement, "When will this man be tired of Matthew 6:33. I won't be tired oh. I am in a covenant with Jesus on it. I have been driving that since He showed me in 1976. When did you start that you are already tired? There is a minister today that I led to Christ in 1972. There is no limit to the future of a genuine lover of Jesus. There is no limit! I have never begged. You know in ministry, they depend on relationships. I don't have any relationships. You call somebody: 'Hello, how are you? I hope you are fine?' why? You want something from them. It is when you are sick, I weigh in. Satan get your hand off this man and yet I don't lack. How are you doing it? Ask God how He is doing it."
