*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.

*5 WAYS TO COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH YOUR PARTNER* James 1:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, A lady complained to me about how her husband rarely listens to her. She said that anytime she wants to talk with her husband, it's either he is watching TV or he is using his phone. When she requests his full attention, he will say that she should say what she wants to say, that he's hearing her. This had happened for several years in their marriage, and she was very sad about it. During my session with both partners, I decided to find out why he was doing that. I asked him several questions and discovered that he had seen his parents live that way in his growing up years. So he grew up thinking that that's the right way for a husband to live and interact with his wife.. During my counselling session with them, I shared several tips with them on how to communicate better as couples. I shared with them something that many couples do not pay attention to - the way you communicate with your spouse is frequently a pattern you picked up in your growing up years from your parents and other adults that you lived with. Your spouse probably picked up some other communication pattern in their growing up years. Communication is the heart of any successful relationship. Whether you're newly dating or have been married for years, the way you communicate can make or break the bond you share with your partner. Unfortunately, like the couple whose story I shared, many couples struggle with expressing themselves effectively, leading to misunderstandings, resentment, and emotional distance. The good news is that regardless of the communication pattern you were exposed to in your growing up years, improving your communication skills is possible! Here are some of the ways you can communicate better with your partner and foster a deeper connection. 1. Listen to Understand, Not to Respond: Often, we listen to our partners with the intent to respond rather than understand. Active listening involves focusing entirely on what your partner is saying without interrupting or thinking of your reply. By doing this, you show empathy, which can strengthen emotional bonds and make your partner feel truly heard. 2. Be Clear and Direct: Beating around the bush or using passive-aggressive language can create confusion and tension in a relationship. Using passive-aggressive language is a pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them. So learn to be clear and direct about your thoughts, feelings, and needs. Use “I” statements instead of “You…” to avoid placing blame and encourage open dialogue. 3. Practice Patience: Not every conversation will be easy or comfortable. Learning to be patient with your partner, especially during difficult discussions, can make a huge difference. Give them the time and space to express themselves, and resist the urge to react impulsively. Sometimes, it’s best to take a break if things get too heated. 4. Use Non-verbal Communication: Words aren’t the only way to communicate. Non-verbal cues such as body language, eye contact, and touch can convey affection, concern, and attentiveness. A warm hug or holding hands during a conversation can reinforce emotional connection and make your partner feel supported. 5. Check-In Regularly: Life gets busy, and it’s easy for couples to drift apart if they don’t make time to check in with each other. Schedule regular conversations to talk about how you're feeling and what you both need. These check-ins can help prevent issues from piling up and strengthen your relationship over time. Effective communication is an ongoing effort that requires practice, patience, and intentionality. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it. Small shifts in communication habits can lead to a deeper connection and a happier partnership. By the end of the session with me, this couple recognized where they are not doing well and apologized to each other. Today, they are living happily and improving their communication skills.❤️

Quick one: What’s one thing you’ve learned the hard way? (I’ll read all comments) 👇 #LifeLesson #TalkToMe

It’s Too Early To Talk About 2027, That’s Like Playing God. ~ Governor Alex Otti

Abia’s Alex Otti vs Delta’s Sheriff Oborevwori Same time in office. Different results. One is building a future. The other is wasting one. Delta receives more money than the entire Southeast combined yet has nothing to show for it. Let’s talk FACTS 👇🏾 REVENUE: WHO REALLY HAS THE MONEY? 🔹 Delta State Over ₦1.9 TRILLION received in 24 months (₦700bn FAAC + ₦400bn 13% Derivation + ₦300bn IGR + ₦500bn borrowings/debts) 🔹 Abia State Less than ₦300bn combined revenue in same period YET: Delta is gasping. Abia is growing. INFRASTRUCTURE: WHERE’S THE WORK? ✅ Abia (Otti): – Rebuilt Abia Secretariat for ₦900m (₦1.1bn saved) – Massive road projects across Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia – Overhauled streetlights, traffic control, & environment ❌ Delta (Sheriff): – Key roads like Effurun-Warri, Sapele axis, Jesse, Bomadi still death traps – No flagship project launched – Secretariat, schools, and hospitals in ruins HEALTHCARE: A STATE OF LIFE OR DEATH ✅ Abia: – Allocated 15% of budget to health (first in SE Nigeria) – Revived ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital) – Renovated PHCs & digitized medical records ❌ Delta: – Central Hospital Warri is a glorified mortuary – Medical staff strike constantly – No major hospital completed in 24 months Yet Delta spends billions on “consultancy.” EDUCATION: INVESTING IN BRAINS OR BUILDINGS? ✅ Otti: – ₦29.5bn to fence public schools (for safety) – Restored accreditation to ABSUTH – Launched bursaries & ICT training for youths ❌ Sheriff: – DELSU underfunded – Schools lack desks, staff, basic infrastructure – Education budget still bloated with ghost expenditures IGR & FISCAL DISCIPLINE: WHO’S MANAGING BETTER? 🔹 Otti: – Raised Abia IGR to ₦15bn in 6 months – Working toward ₦5bn monthly target – Cost of governance cut by ending fraudulent contracts – Prioritized salaries, pensions, and contractors 🔹 Sheriff: – No known IGR strategy – Huge FAAC dependency – No clear debt servicing plan – Budget padded with vague “empowerment” votes TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY 🟢 Otti: – Publishing contracts (partially) – Subjected Abia’s past finances to forensic audit – Sacked ghost workers – Implementing due process in procurement 🔴 Sheriff: – EFCC still probing Okowa’s ₦1.3trn derivation fund – Sheriff silent on financial abuse – No audit report published since he took office – Key ministries operating in secrecy COURTS & RULE OF LAW ✅ Abia: – ICT-driven judiciary – 17 LGAs with modern courtrooms – Judges motivated, cases now digitized ❌ Delta: – Lawyers protest delay in justice – Courtrooms in shambles – Judges neglected, salaries delayed COST OF GOVERNANCE Yes, Otti spent ₦5bn in 3 months. But he’s showing work. Delta spends the same and we ask, for what? Govt House in Asaba is bloated with aides, contracts, PR tools and “influencers” eating millions monthly. Zero productivity. VISION Abia is building an economy around technology, health, agriculture, and infrastructure. Delta is still doing “empowerment” and handouts like it’s 2003. Abia’s Otti is planning for 2050. Delta’s Sheriff is repeating 1999. SO DELTANS, ASK YOURSELF THIS: What if a man like Alex Otti governed Delta State with the kind of resources we’ve wasted under PDAPC? – Delta would be West Africa’s industrial hub. – Our schools and hospitals would be world-class. – Warri, Ughelli, Asaba, and Sapele would be model cities. Instead? We’re stuck in reverse. CONCLUSION Abia is proof that bold leadership can work. If a state with less than ₦300bn in 2 years can show us working hospitals, digital courts, smart schools, and real savings. Then Delta has NO excuse. We don’t lack money. We lack vision. 2027 must not be about party. It must be about performance. Integrity. Audacity. Boldness. Character. Delta must rise from the ruins of deceit. We need a reformer, not a seat-warmer. We need an Alex Otti not more of the same. #DeltaDeservesBetter #OttiModel #SheriffNoDeliver

*What to Have Before You Become a Wife📌 👇* Dear Single Lady, i know you're Preparing for a beautiful future, and marriage is one of those beautiful journey of life you desire. But before stepping into it, it's important you prepare— not just with wedding plans, but with the right mindset, habits, and heart. Wedding is not marriage, and marriage is not a day experience. So before you become a wife; Have 1. A Strong Relationship with Yourself Know who you are. Understand your values, your dreams, and your emotions. Self-love and self-respect lay the foundation for a healthy relationship with someone else. Don't expect a man to fully love and respect you when you don't love and respect yourself or you're still confused about yourself. Know what you can do and what you can't do. The flaws you can manage in a man, and the toxic habits you can't endure. 2. Emotional Maturity Can you handle disagreements without losing control? Can you forgive, communicate, and listen to your man with love? In as much as you're willing to be a submissive wife, understand that You won't always agree with your husband. There will be days of misunderstanding. There will days where you don't feel like talking to him. And there will be days when you'll look at him with a bombastic side eyes and feel like shouting ontop of your voice— at him. So start learning Conflict Resolution Skills. Learn Good Communication Skills too. Marriage requires honest, gentle, and respectful conversations. So you must Learn how to address a man. Start Practicing how to express yourself clearly and calmly, even when things get tough. Develop good manner of approach and speech. Learn how to resolve issues with calmness and respect instead of anger or silence. A peaceful home is not a home without problems, it's a home where problems are handled with wisdom. 3. Financial Wisdom You don't need to be rich, but it's wise you learn how to manage money, budget, save, and spend wisely. Marriage involves sharing responsibilities, and finances are a big part of that. You may not have money in your pocket now, but have a brain that can generate millions. Don't be empty physically and mentally. Imagine you meet a man who's ready to help you grow, what do you have that he can use to establish you❓ Don't wait for a man to come into your life and start building your from scratch. Have something— physically or mentally, or both. Don't sit down lazying around— believing you'll get any man or thing you want because you're beautiful. Your power doesn't lie in your beauty/body— it lies in your BRAIN. Feed your brain! • 4. A Clear Vision and Purpose for Life What kind of life do you want to build? What are your priorities— faith, career, children, purpose? Do you want to raise worldly children or Godly children? Do you want a marriage centered in Christ or Crisis? Do you want to be a career wife or a house wife? It's very important to know where you're headed in life so you can choose a man who shares and supports that vision. Don't be the type of lady who just want to want to birth kid, eat and sleep. If all you're concerned about as a lady is trending things and fashion, you may get frustrated when you enter marriage and your expectations are not been met. Luxuries are good, but have a vision and a purpose that can birth impacts. Impacts generates money, and money brings comfort. 5. Sound Marital Knowledge You want to get married without knowing anything about marriage? In as much as there will be some shocking discoveries you'll experience inside marriage, you still have to equip yourself well to some extent. You don't prepare for battle in the battlefield, you prepare ahead of it. You want marriage. You want to answer a 'wife' . You want to be a mother. But you haven't read upto 5 positive books that teaches about healthy marriage, becoming a wife of value, and a fulfilled mother. You don't even study God's standard for marriage— your bible. All you do is to go on dates, then come back home and watch movies. Keep playing 🙄 Even when you prepare yourself, the practical aspect of marriage will still give you some shocks. Now imagine what will happen if you don't equip yourself at all ? Show me a man who is going for war without arming himself, and I'll show you a man who has made up his mind to be k!!led even before he gets to the warfront. Marriage is not a play. Get the right Knowledge as much as you can. 6. Healing from Past Wounds Unresolved pain from your past relationships or childhood can cause problems later in your marriage. Please Take time to heal, forgive, and let go of your past relationship hurts before planning of getting married. Don't carry what your Ex did to you into marriage and start pun!shing your husband with it. You may de$tɍoy your marriage. Find peace first. A peaceful heart makes room for love to grow. 7. The Right Community Surround yourself with wise women— married, single, and older— who can guide you, pray with you, and give sound advice. You'll need them before and after marriage. Stay away from feminist if you truly want to enjoy your marriage. Anyone who advises you to equal yourself to your man doesn't mean well for you. Avoid them. 8. A Lifestyle of Responsibility Can you take care of your home, your health, your work, and your spiritual life without being pushed? Marriage doesn't magically make people responsible, you carry your habits into it and it amplifies them. Start building them now— the right habits. Start learning how to cook, keep the home neat, take care of kids. 9. Hobbies and Passions In preparing to become a wife, You have to learn to trust God's timing. But while you wait, grow. Don't lose yourself because you're waiting for marriage. Explore your talents, pursue passions, build a meaningful life outside of your relationship. Work on yourself, build your dreams, and enjoy your season. When you're a well-rounded woman, you'll bring joy, depth, and beauty into your home. 10. A Prayer Life Marriage will challenge your emotions, your faith, your patience, and your strength— and that's why you must start now to build your relationship with God. A praying woman builds her home in wisdom. So Start now! Make prayer your anchor, not your backup plan. A kneeling woman is a winning woman! Dear unmarried lady, Marriage won't fix your life, it will add to it. So build a life you love— then share it with a man who truly values it. Building yourself means you don't expect your man to complete you— you're already whole. So as a single lady, you must understand that becoming a wife is not just about finding the right man, it's about becoming the right woman. A wife is not just a title, it's a calling, and preparation is key. Don't just sit and be waiting to be chosen— Prepare yourself too to choose wisely, to love deeply, and to thrive in your marriage, not just survive in it. Marriage is meant to be ENJOYED ✅, not to be ENDURED ❌. You are worth the wait. PEACE!🕊️

"Monopoly Of Nonsense"! A bomb as always from the erudite scholar and Theologian. "IF I HAVE MY WAY I WILL SEIZE TO BE A NIGERIAN BECAUSE THERE'S NO SENSE OF NATIONHOOD". - Bishop Matthew Kukah. Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah speaks the truth to power. His words: "Anyone who thinks the Biafra agitation is a nuisance and irritating should know that it is not the collective aspiration of all Igbos but especially that no one has the monopoly of nusinace. Nuisance begets nuisance. When you stay with potash loaders you too will share in their dusty hair. It is in this country that the same standards are not held against all. Some can get away with anything but others cannot get away with something. I shudder at those who blame the agitators for agitating. Everyone knows what is good for them. If you don't know what is good for you then shut up and don't obstruct those who know what is good for them. If I have my way I will cease to be a Nigerian because there is no sense of nationhood. Those who have leverage over others use it to oppress them. Otherwise how can you explain the audacious impunity of a certain section of this country. They can intimidate everybody even a sitting president and get away with it. When GEJ was president he was literally harassed by this same people until they sent him packing and we thought they will be appeased. But a las we were mistaken! Now how do I love a country where a murderous terrorist group like the herdsmen acclaimed even internationally as deadly is being openly defended by a govt. that wants my loyalty. Do you know as I make this comment, a first class Chief of Bokkos LGA in plateau state was murdered by a certain group of Fulanis almost a year now and no one has been arrested not to talk of prosecution; there are many villagers in my parish who cannot go to farm again except to farm their backyard because their farms have been forcefully annexed by their Fulani murderers; that in Bokkos a wife and a daughter can be taken away right before her husband or father and be repeatedly raped then released at the convenience of the barbaric Fulani tribesmen and no one dares talk; police will advise you to go and settle the matter through dialogue? I want independence from a country where terrorists are embraced and agitators are terrorized. At the slightest excitement Hausa or Fulani man can kill you and get away with it; it has happened and continues to happen but when you gear up to defend yourself because security will not, then you are caught by the same security who will lecture you on how to be peaceful and law abiding. This country will end unless there is justice for all. Rubbish! I hate the lie that Nigeria is. Let's say the truth and die but it is what will set us free. Nigeria is negotiable to me the oppressed even if it's not to the oppressor and that is normal. "The only right Nigerians concede to you is the right to agree with them" - Bishop Matthew Kukah.

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD ... Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ... Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ... Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ... Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you … Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ... Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away ... Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ... LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path! ~shared
