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."

My Ex Used My Nude Photos in Court to Shame Me Into Giving Up Custody
Episode 1

The courtroom smelled like polished wood, cold air, and judgment. I sat there, numb, heart pounding as my lawyer whispered strategy into my ear—but it all sounded like static. Across the aisle sat the man I once loved, the man I shared a home, a bed, and a child with—Seyi. Three years ago, I left him because I found a voice I didn’t know I had, because the bruises on my body weren’t just from fists but from silence, from a marriage that wore me thin until I barely existed. I took our daughter—our sweet, bubbly three-year-old Mide—and left. I stayed silent. I didn’t drag his name. I didn’t tell the world what he did. I just left. For peace. For safety. For healing. But peace doesn’t last when you leave behind a man like Seyi—he doesn’t accept silence as survival, only as betrayal. And now he was here, suing me for full custody, claiming I was unstable, reckless, “morally unfit to parent a girl.” And then he did the unthinkable. He submitted Exhibit C. A flash drive. The judge raised an eyebrow. Seyi’s lawyer—a smug, sharp-tongued woman in designer heels—walked to the front and calmly plugged it in. “Your Honor,” she said, “this is a crucial element of our argument regarding Ms. Adaobi’s moral fitness.” And then the screen came to life. My breath caught. My soul left my body. My naked body, taken in secret—photos I sent Seyi when we were newly married. When I still trusted him. When love meant openness. They appeared one by one on the courtroom screen. I covered my mouth. My lawyer jumped up, objecting furiously. But it was too late. The judge had seen. The jury had seen. My parents had seen. Even the court clerk looked away in pity. My knees buckled. I fell back into the chair. My ears rang. “This is revenge,” my lawyer barked. “This is a violation of privacy. Those images have no relevance—” “On the contrary,” Seyi’s lawyer cut in. “They show recklessness, sexual irresponsibility, and the kind of decisions that should concern anyone responsible for a child’s development.” “They were married!” my lawyer shouted. “Consensual! This is illegal revenge porn!” But the judge only cleared his throat. “Enough. I’ve seen enough. Ms. Adaobi, do you have anything to say for yourself?” I turned my face toward him slowly, tears streaming down my cheeks. “I trusted him,” I said softly. “I loved him. Those were private. That was my husband.” The judge said nothing. And I knew, in that moment, I had lost. Seyi never looked at me. He kept his gaze forward, as if he hadn’t just exposed my body to strangers in the name of “concern.” That night, I cried until I vomited. My mother held my hair back, her own tears silent and angry. “He will not win,” she said. But I knew better. Men like Seyi didn’t fight fair. They fought to humiliate. To destroy. To erase. The next hearing was worse. Seyi’s team introduced character witnesses—his new wife, his pastor, even one of my old friends who he had obviously bribed. They all painted me as unstable, seductive, a party girl. They spoke about photos he claimed he “found on my phone,” said I had “multiple lovers,” and I sat there, trembling, unable to breathe, watching the court believe him. I tried to speak. I told the truth. I said he hit me. I said I left because I feared for Mide’s safety. But I had no hospital records, no police reports—because I had been too ashamed to file them. And shame doesn’t win custody cases. Evidence does. And Seyi had twisted mine into a noose. Two days later, I got the judgment. Joint custody. Shared rights. Mandatory visitations. But there was more. The judge had also recommended I seek counseling before resuming full-time parental duties. I had to “rebuild my moral integrity in the eyes of the court.” In other words, I was being punished for being a woman who once loved a man enough to trust him with her body. And now he used that love to make me look like filth. I hugged Mide that evening as she slept, breathing her in like she might disappear. She was still mine, but I no longer felt like her mother. I felt like a prisoner with limited visitation rights. I thought the worst was over. But then I found out what Seyi did next. He leaked the photos to a parenting blog. My face blurred. My body exposed. The caption read: “This woman fought for custody. Would you trust your child with her?” My phone rang nonstop. My job issued a warning. My landlord gave me notice. And somewhere, in a mansion paid for by my pain, my ex smiled—and slept soundly beside a woman he would destroy next.

OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: THURSDAY JUNE 5TH 2025

THEME: TRUE COMMITMENT TO GOD

MEMORISE: He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4

READ: Luke 21:1-4
1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

MESSAGE:
Many years ago, God spoke to me while I was preaching, and I shared it with the congregation. He said, "There is someone here; three breakthroughs are coming for you. When the first comes, 100% of the proceeds should be given to Me. When the second comes, you are to split it 50-50 between Me and you. The third one will be all yours." Some days later, a widow brought some money to me and said that it was the proceed of the first breakthrough God had mentioned. Because I knew she was struggling financially, I refused to collect the money, insisting that God may not have been referring to her. She insisted that I collect it, and I eventually did. I kept the money somewhere, ready to return it to her whenever she realized that she was not the one the prophecy was about. After some time, she returned and said, "Daddy, this is 50% of the second breakthrough." I collected it, prayed for her, and kept that also. A while later, she came back to me and said, "Daddy, the bank that said my husband owed them some money before he died called me recently to apologize. You know how I have been struggling to pay back the debt; however, they said that they had just discovered that my husband was not owing them. They mentioned that they were the ones owing him a lot of money, and now, they have paid me everything." She heard God's message and knew without a doubt that He was talking about her. She obeyed His instruction, even though it was not convenient, and she experienced greater breakthroughs.

Some people want to be comfortable financially and have more time before they can serve God. They want to have a better job before they pay their tithes. The widow in today's Bible reading proved her commitment to God by giving her all when it wasn't convenient. People who always want to wait until they are comfortable before they serve God often don't get to serve Him at all. Paul told Timothy to preach the gospel in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). 'Out of season' refers to inconvenient moments, and those moments test our commitment to God.

Beloved, you don't prove your commitment to God when it is convenient for you to obey Him. Honor and obey God in season and out of season, and you will experience His overflowing blessings.

KEY POINT
Don't wait for a convenient time to serve God; give Him your all NOW.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 39-42

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.

3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.

4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.

Part 3

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

Part 3 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.

Part 3

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.
