*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 Universe responds only to who you are* and not what you want. If you want greatness, then be great. The world does not respond to panic, *it responds to alignment.* Action without alignment is just noise.

*In a world addicted to action,* being stagnant is wrong. If you want wealth but your nervous system is still wired for failure, *you will subconsciously push it away.*

There is a difference between *desiring something* and *attaching your identity to it.* Desiring feels magnetic and the other is desperation.

*When you hustle without alignment,* you move from fear and scarcity. This kind of action drains you, *leaving you tired and disconnected.*

It is 12Noon
It is Time for *JESUS WORSHIP*

_You can take a quick break from whatever you are doing and say this prayer. (If possilbe You may lift your hands or kneel)_
******************
Thou art worthy of worship O Lamb of God, slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing... 🙏🏻

For through thy blood, thou hast redeemed us to God out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.

I consecrate my body, soul and spirit, and all that I have to thee in love and pure worship my sweet Saviour, Lord and Master.

Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labour will increase.

Your Mindset Controls Your Bank Account.

The biggest difference between the Rich and the Poor is how they think about money

Harsh Reality

The Rich believe wealth is possible, so they pursue it with everything they have

The Poor believe wealth is for “Other People,” so they stay stuck.

Mindset

The wealthy operate under a unique set of principles, often keeping their most effective tactics confidential to avoid unwanted attention.

4 Money Secrets the Rich Keep Hidden

The rich understand that money is a tool to unlock opportunities, and they invest in education, assets, and life changing experiences.

Think rich, get rich.

Wealthy people build their fortunes by putting their money into profitable assets like equities, digital currencies, fixed income securities, property, and business enterprises

Long term investments are the bedrock of financial security for high net-worth individuals.

The rich have figured out the winning formula for accumulating wealth, and it's paying dividends 24/7

Follow the system, and you’ll succeed with time

I spread the gospel of wealth mindset and billionaire mentality.

Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.
Every star is known to be a thinker and every committed thinker is bound to be a star, every great gain begins with great thinking.

S€X AND SUCCESS DON’T MIX – WHY UNDISCIPLINED MEN NEVER BECOME GREAT

Some men dream of success.
Some men work for success.
Some men destroy their success before it even starts.

And guess what? For many men, the biggest distraction is S€X.

A man who chases pleasure over purpose will always be left behind.
A man who controls his desires will always be ahead.

Success requires discipline.
Sexual indulgence destroys discipline.

If you can’t control your lust, you will never control your future.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. POWERFUL MEN AVOID S€XUAL DISTRACTIONS, WEAK MEN CAN’T SAY NO

Every great man in history had one thing in common: They had discipline.

Alexander the Great conquered the world by 30—he didn’t waste time chasing women.
Elon Musk works 100 hours a week—he doesn’t waste time texting girls.

Muhammad Ali refused s€x before fights—he knew discipline was power.
But look at many men today:

Wasting hours daily on p0rn and m@sturbation.
Spending their last money just to impress women.

Crying over a girl instead of building their future.
No great man was ever a slave to lust.

2. S£X DRAINS YOUR ENERGY, FOCUS, AND DRIVE

Every time you release, you are losing more than just a few seconds of pleasure.
You are losing:
Testosterone (your natural energy for success).

Motivation (your hunger to win).
Mental clarity (your ability to stay focused).
That’s why after s£x, many men feel weak and lazy.

Now imagine:
Doing this every day.
Wasting hours texting, chasing, and begging women.
Spending money just to get a few minutes of pleasure.
That’s why broke men chase s£x, and rich men chase success.

3. EVERY MINUTE SPENT CHASING WOMEN IS A MINUTE LOST BUILDING YOUR FUTURE

Look at your daily habits.
How much time do you spend scrolling through women’s pictures?
How much time do you waste flirting and simping in DMs?

How much time do you spend watching p0rn and draining your strength?
Now imagine using that time to:
Learn a high-income skill.
Work on your business or career.

Go to the gym and improve your body.
If you focused on building, you wouldn’t need to chase—women would come to you.

4. HISTORY PROVES THAT S£XUAL WEAKNESS DESTROYS GREAT MEN

Ask yourself: What destroyed the strongest men in history?
Not war. Not enemies. Not poverty.
It was s£xual weakness.
Samson lost his power because of Delilah.

King Solomon was the wisest man, but women led him to destruction.

Tiger Woods lost millions in endorsements due to a s£x scandal.

Bill Clinton’s career was almost ruined by a woman.

A man without discipline is a man waiting for destruction.

5. WOMEN DON’T RESPECT MEN WHO CAN’T CONTROL THEMSELVES

You think a woman respects a man who chases her all day?
You think she values a man who is always available and begging?

No.
A woman respects men who have:
Purpose.
Self-control.
A bigger mission in life.

When you focus on your purpose, women will focus on you.

6. P0RN, M@STURBATION & CASUAL S£X ARE MAKING MEN WEAKER

The modern man is weak, lazy, and broke because he is addicted to cheap pleasure.

P0rn kills your brain.
M@sturbation destroys your energy.
Casual s£x makes you indisciplined.
That’s why so many men are:

Unmotivated.
Struggling financially.
Depressed and directionless.

If you want to be great, you must cut off s£xual distractions.

7. A MAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HIS URGES CAN’T CONTROL HIS DESTINY

You say you want to be rich, powerful, and successful.
But you can’t even:
Go a week without s£x or p0rn.

Focus on work without being distracted by women.
Stop simping and chasing after every woman you see.
If you can’t master your own body, how can you master the world?

8. SUCCESSFUL MEN CONTROL S£X, BROKE MEN ARE CONTROLLED BY S€X

S€x is a tool.
The weak use it for pleasure.
The strong use it for power.

A successful man controls when and how he engages in s€x.
A broke man lets s€x control him.
That’s why the world is run by disciplined men, not by men who chase pleasure.

9. WOMEN COME AND GO, BUT SUCCESS STAYS

A man can have 100 women today, and they can all leave tomorrow.
But if you have money, power, and status, even more women will come.

That’s why powerful men never lack women.
And that’s why weak men are always chasing.

10. DISCIPLINE FIRST, PLEASURE LATER

There is nothing wrong with s£x.

But if you put pleasure before purpose, you will always struggle.
If you master self-control, you will always be ahead.

The choice is yours.

BOTTOM LINE:

If you want to be great, wealthy, and powerful, learn to control your lust.

Because in the end…

Men who control their desires, control their future.
Men who chase pleasure, lose everything.

"I’ll always choose Davido over Wizkid, any day, any time. Davido is truly humble, while Wizkid comes off as too prôud and full of himself.

I've had the chance to meet both Wizkid and Davido, and honestly, Wizkid gave off a próud and arrógant vibe. It surprises me when people say they prefer Wizkid over Davido. Despite being born into a wealthy family, Davido remains hardworking and down-to-earth. From what I’ve observed, if Wizkid had grown up with the same privilege Davido had, he probably wouldn’t have put in half as much effort. That’s why I believe any reasonable person would pick Davido over Wizkid." – Jim Iyke

HANDSOME DRIVER ACCIDENTALLY SLEPT OFF IN BILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTER'S ROOM

Liam had just landed a dream job as a private driver for the ultra-wealthy Carrington family. Known for his charm and dashing looks, Liam kept a low profile, focusing solely on his job. One night, after a grueling back andforth drive to and from a late evening gala, exhaustion overcame him. He arrived at the mansion, parked the car, and went in to ask for a glass of water from one of the housemates before retiring to the staff quarters.
The entire mansion was unusually quiet. The maids were nowhere to be found, probably off duty or resting. Liam, confused and dizzy from the long day, walked through a hallway, searching for a spare room to nap in. The door to a guest room was slightly a jar. Thinking it was empty, he slipped in and collapsed on the bed, completely unaware it was the room of the billionaire's only daughter, Arya Carrington.
Arya had stepped into the adjoining bathroom after her bath when she saw Liam's shoes outside the bed. Peeking through the bathroom door, her heart raced. There was a man in her bed. Instinctively, she grabbed a hairbrush as a weapon and crept closer. But when she recognized the face, her brows knitted.
What was their driver doing in her bed? Instead of screaming, Arya did something unexpected. She stood there watching him. His chest rose and fell so peacefully, and there was something unusually innocent about his face as he slept. Her initial anger softened into curiosity. Arya had always found Liam attractive, but seeing him there completely vulnerable stirred something new in her.
She left him there and curled up on the Sha's lounge, deciding to deal with him in the morning. But her sleep didn't come easy. Every sound he made kept her awake. Morning broke, sunlight flooding through the windows. Liam stirred, confused, and sat up slowly. His eyes widened in horror when he saw Arya seated across the room, arms folded, glaring at him.
"What on earth are you doing in my room?" she asked coldly. Liam stammered, trying to piece his words together, but she stood up, raised a brow, and said, "Relax. You're lucky I didn't scream and get you fired." Her tone held a strange mixture of anger and intrigue. Liam quickly apologized and fled the room, heart pounding.
But neither of them knew that night had changed everything. Word hadn't gotten out about the incident, thanks to Aria's silence, but she couldn't stop thinking about it. She began watching Liam from her bedroom window as he cleaned the car or opened doors for guests. There was something about his politeness, the way he smiled at the staff and remained unaffected by the luxury surrounding him.
Liam, on the other hand, kept a safe distance. Embarrassed, he avoided eye contact with Arya at all costs. But one afternoon, while driving her to a shopping complex, she suddenly said, "You snore when you sleep." He almost hit the brakes from shock. She giggled for the first time in front of him, and that moment shattered the wall between them.

𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 (𝟖) 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐆𝐆:

We have so many things in life that we can handle with strong hands & they can withstand pressure and force. There are things that are so fragile in nature & anyone who wants to handle them must do so with every carefulness and tenderness. I saw a truck loaded with cartons of Noddles. Two guys were asked to move the cartons of noddles from the truck into a shop. You need to see the throwing and catching prowess of this two guys. One was in the truck throwing the cartons to the one at the entrance of the shop and he was throwing it into the shop. The one in the truck can throw about 3 cartons at a go and the one in the shop will catch it so well. They can do it like that because the noodles in the cartons are not fragile.

They can't handle crates of egg like that when loading from a truck into a shop. It takes extra carefulness and tenderness, if I not ,it will break and that will amount to huge debt and wastages.

Friends, there are things we also must carry and handle with extra- carefulness because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage.
Let me mention 8 of those things you must carry /handle with carefulness as if you are carrying a crate of eggs.

1. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Your name is very important and fragile. There are names that stink in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the names. The way to handle your name with carefulness is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you & for your children and generations after you. The Bible says ' A good name is better than precious ointment...' ( Ecclesiastes 7:1). When your name is mentioned anywhere, like in your office, at home, church, on social media like Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. What comes to people's minds? Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Read one of the quotes written by Shakespeare. 'Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed'.

2: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓: Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today. One of the factors responsible for this is because many of this heart owners were careless with their hearts. You can guard your heart from being broken and bitter. Run away from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!

3. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐄 : When you put too much pressure on your wife, you will 'break' her. ' Likewise ye husbands, dwell with your wife according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel...' ( I Peter 3:7)
Handle your wife with carefulness and tenderness. Let tenderness flow in your manliness. Don't be wicked to your wife. Carry her like a Queen. She's stron, powerful and wise, yet, she needs to be protected, cared for and handle like a crate of eggs. Treat her like that.

4: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄: Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with utmost carefulness, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this 'crate of egg of purpose'. Discouragement, lack of fund, delayed Breakthrough, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow it! Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may want to put pressure on it and break it.

5: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇: You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you throughout your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can really run the vision like you!

Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself before your time. Do your best to stay alive. We still need you here. Don't use your fork and your spoon to dig your grave. Watch what you eat. Always pray for divine immunization against sickness and diseases.

6. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄.: So many people handle their marriage like a carton of noddles. Let me remind you sir/ma. Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of egg. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife, please, carry your marriage like an egg. It must not break!

7: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒. : Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once broken, you can't gather it up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break it. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with it.

8: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘: Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on earth without thinking of their eternity are not wise! Hear what the Bible says ' Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, they would have considered their latter end! ( Duet 32:29). Friends, the matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity. Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living carelessly as if you have extra life. Think about eternity. Don't live for the pleasure of this present moment alone. If you miss heaven, you will cry!

I believe someone here is blessed with this. You can share it to bless others. (don't plagiarize it )

Thanks for reading.
