Don't ever think you used me — you just ran into a real one with a big heart. I gave you my time, my energy, my loyalty, and my love — not because I was naive, but because I believed in giving people a chance. I showed up for you when it wasn’t convenient. I stood by you when you had nothing to offer in return. That wasn’t weakness — that was strength. That was character. That was love without conditions. You didn’t outsmart me. You didn’t fool me. I saw the patterns, the lies, the selfishness — but I kept giving because that’s who I am. I don’t love halfway. I don’t support people with one foot out the door. I gave you the best parts of me, and if you walked away thinking you “got over” on me, the only thing you did was lose someone who was real from the beginning. People like me are rare — people who care deeply, who forgive endlessly, who give without keeping score. You didn’t use me. You misjudged me. You thought you were playing me, but I was just giving you the space to be honest, to grow, to change. You failed that test — not me. So don’t flatter yourself. You didn’t break me. You just taught me how to close the door with grace. And now that door is locked. Not because I hate you, but because I finally learned that loving someone doesn’t mean destroying myself in the process. One day, you’ll look back and realize that no one else showed up like I did. And by then, I’ll be too far gone — healed and happy, loving someone who never made me question my worth.

Marry a man who wants to be a husband.... not just a man who wants to have a wife. There’s a big difference. A man who wants a wife often loves the idea of marriage, the image, the comfort, the convenience. He wants the warm meals, the folded laundry, the steady emotional support. He wants a woman who holds it all together but doesn’t always consider the weight she carries. But a man who wants to be a husband? He moves differently. He doesn't just want commitment, he respects it. He doesn’t treat loyalty like a favour, it’s who he is, even when no one’s watching. He wants to build with you. Grow with you. Protect the peace you bring into his life. He communicates clearly. He listens with patience. He shows up, especially when it’s not easy. He doesn’t just want the title. He wants the work, the responsibility, the devotion. Because real husbands know that love is a verb. It’s in the small things, the effort, the apologies, the shared responsibilities. It’s in how he holds space for your emotions. How he covers you spiritually, mentally, and physically. How he doesn’t run when things get hard and doesn’t go silent when you need him to speak up. A man who wants to be a husband doesn’t chase convenience. He chooses consistency. So don’t settle for someone who just wants you around because of what you give. Wait for the man who values you enough to grow into who he needs to be, for himself, for you, and for your future together. Because when you marry someone who truly wants to be a husband, He won’t just love you. He will honor you. Every single day. ~Tanvir Sourov

Title: Divorced Sistas: Five friends support each other through divorce, marriage, dating and friendship srighless while their loyalty and sisterhood bonds are tested. Starring: Valerie Hannah

*OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL* *DATE: MONDAY, JULY 14TH, 2025* *THEME: HELPMEET INDEED 2* *MEMORISE:* *“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” - (Genesis 2:18)* *READ: Proverbs 19:13-14 (KJV)* 13. A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping. 14. Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord. *MESSAGE:* A true helpmeet stays with her husband through thick and thin; she doesn’t shy away when things are tough. I have been married for 57 years, and sometimes, it feels like my wife and I are still on honeymoon. I was the poorest among those wooing her before we got married, but I told her that if she married me, everything I would ever have and become would be hers. When we first got married, during our meals, we would playfully struggle over one piece of ponmo, but today, even if we want to eat a whole cow, we can do so because God has truly blessed us. When things are tough, a true helpmeet encourages her husband; she supports him without making him feel less about himself. She does not help him and then turn around to say, “You see what I did for you? Now you owe me so and so." It is a thing of joy for a true helpmeet to see opportunities to help her husband and then go ahead to help. A helpmeet indeed is known during times when her husband is going through challenges. Years ago, I decided to fast because I was facing some serious challenges. I fasted for 40 days and nights, and because my wife knew that it wouldn't be easy for me to concentrate on my fast if she didn't join me, she fasted as well. After fasting and praying for 40 days and nights, the challenges remained, so I decided to go on another fast for 40 days and nights. Again, she joined in the fast. After the second round of fasting, the challenges remained, so I decided to go again. This time, I planned to fast until God answered me. I didn't want my wife to go all the way with me, so we agreed that if after 40 days, the challenge remained, I would continue fasting, and she would stop. After 40 days and nights elapsed, she refused to stop. When I saw that she wasn't going to stop, I told God, "I cannot bear to lose my wife. Whenever You want, You can solve this problem, but I have to stop fasting now." She only stopped fasting when I stopped, and of course, God proved Himself faithful. If you are a married woman, try as much as God helps you to help your husband resolve his challenges. A true helpmeet is her husband's greatest ally, not his greatest headache in the midst of life's challenges. *KEY POINT:* A true helpmeet is her husband's greatest ally. She stands by him through thick and thin. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* Song of Solomon 5-8 *AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE* *HYMN 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY* 1. When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul” *CHORUS:* It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. 2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And has shed His own blood for my soul. 3. My sin O, the bliss of this glorious thought, My sin, not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! 4. O, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

“My Money is My Money, But His Money is Our Money?” 💔 A Danger0us Mindset in Marriage Ladies, let's talk. 👇 That line might sound funny on social media, but in real life, it’s one of the quickest ways to break trust, fuel resentment, and hinder progress in your marriage. As a marriage counselor, let me help you reset your mindset and set your marriage up for success. 💯 ✅ 1. Marriage is a Covenant, Not a Competition 🌹 Once you say "I do," you are no longer two individuals — you are one team. That means resources, time, energy, and money should no longer be viewed as “mine vs. yours” but ours. ✅ 2. Your Money is Family Money 🌹 Whether the husband earns it or the wife does, it belongs to the home, not to one person. Money should be pooled together to meet family needs, pursue shared goals, and build legacy. 🧩 Teamwork in finances equals peace in the home. ✅ 3. Stop Misusing 1 Timothy 5 🌹 Many wrongly use 1 Timothy 5:8 to say men must be sole providers. But context matters! That chapter talks about supporting widows, not setting financial roles in marriage. Verse 16 even says: “If any man or woman has widows... let them relieve them...” 💡 Conclusion: Provision isn’t gender-specific — it’s about responsibility, not roles. ✅ 4. Scripture Over Culture 🌹 Culture may say “only the man must provide”, but the Bible never says the man must be the sole provider. 🔍 Proverbs 31 paints a picture of a resourceful, industrious woman involved in: 📍Agriculture 📍Trading and exporting 📍Fashion and textiles 📍Charity work 👑 She was married and still actively contributed financially. ✅ 5. Marriage is a Financial Partnership 🌹 You and your spouse should: 📍Set shared financial goals 📍Create a joint budget 📍Discuss big purchases 📍Sacrifice for one another when needed Sometimes, the wife will delay her wants so her husband can meet a need, and vice versa. This is not weakness — this is love and wisdom. ✅ 6. Ladies, Adjust Your Mindset 🌹 Stop seeing yourself as a financial observer. You are not a guest in your marriage — you are a co-builder. 🚫 “I’m just helping him” ✅ “We’re building this life together” God did not create Eve to be idle — He created her to be a helper suitable. That includes emotional, spiritual, and financial help. ✅ 7. Be a Woman of Value, Not Just Expense 🌹 You can be wealthy. You can provide. You can start a business, own property, fund dreams, sponsor others, and bless your home. 🌱 You are not just a helpmate — you are a force for financial progress. 🙏🏾 Final Word: Marriage thrives where selfishness d!es. Drop the “my money vs. his money” mindset. Pick up the “our home, our wealth, our future” mindset. 💖 God is for your marriage, and you will not fail in Jesus’ name. 🔁 Share this with every married couple and young woman you know. 📌 Follow us for more Biblical marriage truths:

–Lagos Reporters The family of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has announced his passing this afternoon in a clinic in London, United Kingdom. Details surrounding the cause of death have not yet been made public, but family sources confirmed the news in an official statement shared with Lagos Reporters. Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, was known for his tough stance on corruption, controversial economic policies, and frequent medical visits to the UK during his presidency. Tributes and condolences have begun pouring in from political leaders, supporters, and international figures, marking the end of an era for one of Nigeria’s most prominent military and civilian leaders.

"Across the world, most people focus on attacking radical Islamist groups themselves, but they often ignore a critical question: Who is funding and creating these extremists? According to multiple reports—including those by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), U.S. Department of the Treasury, and EU Terrorism Situation & Trend Report (TESAT)—a significant amount of terror financing comes through charities, NGOs, and religious institutions that operate from countries that project a secular, peaceful, and modern image internationally. For example: • Investigations have highlighted flows of money from wealthy Gulf states into madrassas and radical networks in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other poorer Muslim-majority countries. • According to FATF greylist and blacklist reports, countries like Pakistan have been repeatedly flagged for failing to curb such financing. Yet, the original funding sources often come from donors based in far richer, politically stable countries. • A Carnegie Endowment study also showed how some Gulf-based charitable networks indirectly supported extremist ideology abroad while maintaining a respectable face at home. These sponsoring nations keep their global reputation clean, attract billions from tourism and foreign investment, and yet part of that wealth quietly sustains radicalization in economically weaker states like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, and beyond. Suppose the international community truly wants to end extremist violence. In that case, it must cut the root—the financial and ideological sponsors—rather than just trimming the branches and leaves by going after foot soldiers alone." - Ashu Bhardwaj @jaihind1624

B. R. E A. K. I. N. G. N.E.W.S SENATOR SERIAKE DICKSON THROWS HIS WEIGHT BEHIND SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN'S REINSTATEMENT. The Senator representing Bayelsa West, Senator Seriake Dickson, has thrown his weight behind the return of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) to the Senate following a court judgment that nullified her six-month suspension. Dickson gave his position while addressing journalists in Abuja on Saturday. The former Bayelsa State governor said he had never supported prolonged suspensions of lawmakers, stressing that such actions run contrary to constitutional principles and legislative ethics. Dickson said, “I sympathize with Natasha. I have never been in support of any parliamentary body suspending members for long periods. “The Senate leadership and my colleagues know my position on this, anchored on the law, the constitution, and my conviction. “Senators are here to agree and disagree in the national interest. So, we have to tolerate and respect one another, even when we differ in opinion.” Dickson emphasized the need for Akpoti-Uduaghan to resume her duties without further delay, insisting that her voice and representation are vital to the legislative process. “I was not present when her suspension was announced, but that is not my concern. My interest is that she resumes her seat and continues to perform her constitutional responsibilities. “I understand the court has already made a decision on the matter,” he added. Two weeks ago, the Federal High Court in Abuja declared Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension by the Senate as unconstitutional, excessive, and a violation of the rights of her constituents. Justice Binta Nyako, in a ruling, ordered her immediate reinstatement and awarded a ₦5m fine against her for contempt, relating to a satirical Facebook post that breached a court order issued on March 4, 2025. The post, which appeared to mock Senate President Godswill Akpabio, was ruled to have violated an interim injunction. Nonetheless, the court ruled that the Senate’s action in suspending her for six months was beyond its constitutional powers. COPIED FROM: THE PUNCH NEWSPAPERS. -------------------------------------- Senator Dickson is a truthful leader. Other leaders should as a matter of fact emulate him. More power to your elbow sir. #bendelgistsblog.

*OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL* *DATE: SUNDAY, JULY 13TH, 2025* *THEME: HELPMEET INDEED 1* *MEMORISE:* *“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.” - (Proverbs 31:11)* *READ: Proverbs 31:10-31 (KJV)* 10. Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. 11. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. 12. She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. 13. She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands. 14. She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar. 15. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants. 16. She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard. 17. She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms. 18. She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night. 19. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle. 20. She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. 21. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet. 22. She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. 24. She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants. 25. Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come. 26. She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. 27. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: 29. "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all." 30. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. *MESSAGE:* A helpmeet is a wife who complements and supports her husband to fulfil God's purpose for their lives even when it is not convenient. God ordained marriage as an institution where a wife helps her husband instead of competing with him, as the world paints it today. Just as the individuals in a team cannot compete against their teammates and expect to win, couples who compete against each other should not expect a successful marriage. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). A husband and his wife are one and should work together as a team to achieve success in their marriage and in life (Mark 10:7-8) Some highly successful women have allowed pride into their hearts such that they stop submitting to their husbands. Up until today, my wife cooks my meals. When the situation permits, she irons my clothes, and I iron hers too. When I was a teacher, and we were living in a remote location, she used to cut my hair. Just like the virtuous woman's husband in today's Bible reading, my heart safely trusts in her. She is never too busy to help me, and she upholds anything I uphold. I remember when we were building the Mount Carmel Prayer Village. It was a massive project, but I went there only thrice - the day the foundation laying ceremony was done, the day I decided to take my grandchildren there, and the day the completed project was dedicated. Throughout the duration of the construction, my wife supervised the project diligently - that is a helpmeet indeed! She is always willing to go through the necessary rigours to see that I achieve my goal. She has stood by me through thick and thin, which is why she has full access to everything God blesses me with. When a responsible man has a true helpmeet as a wife, he'll go the extra mile to protect her and make her comfortable and happy. I often say that a fellow can slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek, but if anyone touches my wife, such a fellow will have my God, the Consuming Fire, to contend with. As a wife, can your husband rely on you? You must be able to make up for his weaknesses, celebrate his successes, and be his number one cheerleader. If you are a man that has a helpmeet indeed by his side, you must nourish and cherish her. She is a priceless gem and must be treated as one. *PRAYER POINT:* Today is my wife's birthday, please join me to pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and uphold her. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* Song of Solomon 1-4 *AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE* *HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS* 1. I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak. 2. I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there. 3. I want to be like Jesus, I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To any one unkind. 4. I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said "He hath done what he could." 5. I want to be like Jesus, Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call. 6. But oh I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee.
