    THE WIFE WHO PRAYS YET DESTROYS HER MARRIAGE...

    WIFE/Husband... God, I want to fast and pray this week

    GOD: What will you be fasting and praying for?

    WIFE: My marriage

    GOD: Have you told your husband about it?

    WIFE: I don't think I need to

    GOD: Where is your Bible?

    WIFE: It's in my handbag

    GOD: When was the last time you read the Bible?

    WIFE: It's been a long while

    GOD: Then how do you expect to pray in the right way if you don't take time to know My will by reading My Word? Pray using My Word

    WIFE: How do I pray using Your Word?

    GOD: By returning My Word to Me. Speak My inspired Word back to Me. Like Jesus, say "It is written". My Word will not return to Me void but will accomplish the purpose intended. Hold Me to account on My Word. Go get your Bible my child

    WIFE: Yes Lord

    WIFE: I am back

    GOD: Read 1 Corinthians 7: 5

    WIFE: It says, "Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."

    GOD: That passage of Scripture is addressing the husband and wife. I don't think you fully understand what I mean when I say in marriage, two become one. You and your husband have become one. You should be informing your husband

    WIFE: Why? What for? It's not like he will want to fast with me

    GOD: Have you tried asking him?

    WIFE: Aah. I know him. He doesn't like this spiritual stuff. I wish he was as spiritual as me

    GOD: My child, I know him better than you do. Your attitude of seeing yourself as spiritually superior is what is discouraging joint prayer between you and him. You already formed an opinion about him and you push that opinion in his face. Why do you feel the need to show how spiritual you are?

    WIFE: I take hours to pray for my marriage. I wish he knew how much I am on my knees for this marriage to work

    GOD: My child, you're doing the right thing but your attitude and motives don't please Me. You pray a miss because your heart is not in the right place. I have seen you spending hours at keshas in Church buildings; only to come back home and shout at your children and husband as you pass judgement on them. I have watched you kneel in your bedroom in prayer, only for you to show contempt and disrespect to your husband some hours later. I have seen you fasting, only for you to speak negative belittling your husband. What exactly do you want? Your prayers and fasting seem religious, like you do them to appease yourself or to show off. In the Church congregation, you are celebrated because you never miss concerts, fellowships, revival meetings, Church services and keshas; but at home you are an ungrateful wife, an angry wife, a cold wife, a harsh mother, a discouraging mother, a thorn in the flesh. Kindly read 1st Corinthians 13: 1 - 3

    WIFE: If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

    GOD: My child, if your husband and children don't feel loved by you then all your praying and fasting is for nothing. It is not what you do, but who you are. You can fast all this week for your marriage yet destroy your own marriage by how you treat your husband

    WIFE: So what do I do God? What do I do?

    GOD: Always remember that marriages remain strong, not because of prayer but because of love; prayer is but a force accompanying love. As you speak to Me in prayer, speak love to your husband.
    Praying for your marriage will not automatically make your marriage fruitful; you must work on your marriage. Stop using prayer and fasting to hide your laziness or to cover up the things you need to change as a wife. I really desire to see love in your home. I desire to see you and your husband laughing, treating each other well. Whatever you do to your husband, you do to Me. I desire to see you two together in love in My presence

    WIFE: God, forgive me for going about it the wrong way. Please give me some minutes. I will be back

    (Twenty seven minutes later)

    WIFE: God, I am back now. With my king, my husband. We approach Your throne, our King of kings

    HUSBAND: God, I want to thank You for my wife. She came to me and blessed me in a way that a wife should. Today, I want to thank You for our marriage

    GOD: Go on, I am listening. I am pleased by you two

    Since that day, the husband and wife pray together; but above all, they love each other

    *#SHARE to Educate others. Cheers! *

  • 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.

  • The Deeper You Think, The Further You See

    "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."

    Thoughts shape your world—dig deeper, and you’ll uncover truths hidden in the shallow.

    Think better, live better—because a cluttered mind builds a crumbling life.

    Think deeper, fly higher—roots don’t just anchor you, they fuel your rise.

    Think broader, spread wider—small minds build cages, great ones open doors.

    Crush narrow thinking, escape a narrow life—fear shrinks you before the world ever does.

    Think better, act wiser—your choices are just thoughts turned solid.

    Think better, behave brighter—how you see yourself is how the world sees you.

    Think dry, run dry—starvation starts in the mind before it hits the body.
    Think full, live full—abundance isn’t luck, it’s a mindset.

    Think small, stay small—limits you accept become walls you can’t escape.

    Think great, become great—vision isn’t prophecy, it’s preparation.

    Think up or fade out—growth isn’t optional, it’s survival.

    Start thinking deeper, stop sinking slowly—the weight of the surface will drown you.

    Listen to Apostle Paul "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." — Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

    Now go think. Then go do.

    Good morning. Have a great day...

  • SO THAT WE WILL BE MANY!

    Beloved brethren,

    This message is not to stir enmity, but to bring balance to an unbalanced position shared by a fellow believer. When matters cross denominational lines, they must be weighed by Scripture and sound doctrine—not personal bias or emotion.

    The brother in question did not speak by prophecy, and even if he had, Scripture commands us to judge all things (1 Corinthians 14:29). Neither did he rightly handle doctrine to show how the song’s lyrics contradict the gospel or biblical truth. Instead, his critique rested on three non-doctrinal points:
    1. The song’s popularity and viral trend.
    2. His personal view of Gaise Baba’s hairstyle and public demeanor.
    3. Pastor Lawrence Oyor wearing a headband labeled “Jesus,” along with the presence of dance in the video, which he dismisses as mere “vibes.”

    While these observations may reflect personal preferences, they do not amount to doctrinal error nor invalidate our faith in Christ. Corrections, if necessary, should be done in love, not with public disdain.

    There is no such thing as a “gospel beat”—only a gospel message. As a psalmist, I know that while certain beats may not stir spiritual expression or suit all messages, that doesn’t mean upbeat songs lack spiritual value. The video in question was shot in church, the dancers were believers (including children and elders), and the lyrics were Christ-centered and edifying. The dance was not sensual or suggestive, and the ministers carried themselves with reverence.

    If unbelievers relate to the sound, that’s not a license to reduce it to “vibes.” Rather, it’s an opportunity to teach the truth embedded in the sound now that we have their attention.

    The statements made by the brother were not grounded in Scripture and lacked wise counsel. If he truly seeks to address worldliness, he must apply the same scrutiny to elements like microphones, lighting, or stage design—also “of the world” in origin. But clearly, that would be an unbiblical standard.

    The spirit of his correction was more deceptive than discerning. And those who support it seem to be responding from personal taste, not Scripture.

    Finally, let us not respond with insults. If we attack him for criticizing a minister we admire, are we not guilty of the same error? This is not a war over who is right, but a call to edify the Church in truth and love. Disagreements are welcome—if they are backed by sound doctrine.

  • SO THAT WE WILL BE MANY!

    Beloved brethren,

    This message is not to stir enmity, but to bring balance to an unbalanced position shared by a fellow believer. When matters cross denominational lines, they must be weighed by Scripture and sound doctrine—not personal bias or emotion.

    The brother in question did not speak by prophecy, and even if he had, Scripture commands us to judge all things (1 Corinthians 14:29). Neither did he rightly handle doctrine to show how the song’s lyrics contradict the gospel or biblical truth. Instead, his critique rested on three non-doctrinal points:
    1. The song’s popularity and viral trend.
    2. His personal view of Gaise Baba’s hairstyle and public demeanor.
    3. Pastor Lawrence Oyor wearing a headband labeled “Jesus,” along with the presence of dance in the video, which he dismisses as mere “vibes.”

    While these observations may reflect personal preferences, they do not amount to doctrinal error nor invalidate our faith in Christ. Corrections, if necessary, should be done in love, not with public disdain.

    There is no such thing as a “gospel beat”—only a gospel message. As a psalmist, I know that while certain beats may not stir spiritual expression or suit all messages, that doesn’t mean upbeat songs lack spiritual value. The video in question was shot in church, the dancers were believers (including children and elders), and the lyrics were Christ-centered and edifying. The dance was not sensual or suggestive, and the ministers carried themselves with reverence.

    If unbelievers relate to the sound, that’s not a license to reduce it to “vibes.” Rather, it’s an opportunity to teach the truth embedded in the sound now that we have their attention.

    The statements made by the brother were not grounded in Scripture and lacked wise counsel. If he truly seeks to address worldliness, he must apply the same scrutiny to elements like microphones, lighting, or stage design—also “of the world” in origin. But clearly, that would be an unbiblical standard.
