    DATE: SATURDAY 14TH JUNE 2025

    THEME: *HIDDEN ACCESS TO WEALTH*

    MEMORIZE
    Proverbs 4:7
    Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

    READ
    Job 28:20-28
    Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
    Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
    Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
    God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
    For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
    To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
    When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
    Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
    And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities.*

    MESSAGE
    God's word declares that it is He who gives His covenant people the power to get wealth. I have often wondered what this amazing power to get wealth is all about until I saw that Solomon the richest man that ever lived asking for wisdom and along with wisdom came riches and wealth that the world is still talking about till date.

    His daily provisions according to the account of 1Kings 4:22-23; sums up to at least over $60,000, it's only very wealthy people that spends such money on food daily.

    The source of such must be inexhaustible, if such budget should be sustained or maintained.

    Having seen that wisdom is the principal thing, its clear that with wisdom, wealth is a natural sequence that follows.

    Every form of lack is traceable to the lack of wisdom.

    *Every form of financial issues is a wisdom issue.*

    Otherwise, wherever wisdom is found, money results naturally, though with time.

    However, wisdom is hidden from all men because all men have fallen from the glory of God. Its the glory of God therefore, to conceal sacred things from fallen humans, and we show our value for hidden stuffs by making ourselves available to search them out.

    *Pure wisdom from God is extremely sacred and flows directly from Him into the hearts of those who are undefiled in their relationship with God.*

    Pure wisdom connects it's beneficiaries to the secret chambers of God's deepest mysteries, and with such mysteries, we gain masteries over the affairs of life irrespective of the challenges on ground.

    Wisdom is more than just the application of knowledge, rather, it is the correct application of the insights gotten from direct fellowship or relationship with God. *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities.*

    It's simply amazing how God supplies the needs of those who are connected to Him.

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Ask the Lord to purify your heart and soul from every form of pollutions, impurities and unrighteousness.
    2. Love and pursue knowledge with all you have.
    3. Cry after wisdom on daily basis.

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, I receive the grace to stay connected to you and draw from your limitless wisdom and knowledge for endless possibilities in my life in Jesus name.

    REMEMBER
    *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities*

    AUTHOR JEDIDIAH DAVID

    DAILY READING: Exodus 21; Psalms 90; Proverbs 6-8; Acts 1; 2Cor 6.

    HYMN
    " There shall be showers of blessing " :
    This is the promise of love ;
    There shall be seasons refreshing,
    Sent from the Saviour above.

    Show - - ers of blessing,
    Showers of blessing we need ;
    Mercy-drops round us are falling,
    But for the showers we plead.

    2
    " There shall be showers of blessing "
    Precious reviving again ;
    Over the hills and the valleys,
    Sound of abundance of rain.

    3
    " There shall be showers of blessing " :
    Send them upon us, O Lordl
    Grant to us now a refreshing ;
    Come, and now honour Thy Word.

    4
    " There shall be showers of blessing ":
    Oh that to-day they might fall,
    Now as to God we're confessing,
    Now as on Jesus we call !

  • AKWA IBOM STATE INDIGENE DEMANDS AN APOLOGY FROM MR KENNETH OKONKWO

    Utibe Williams writes

    Mr Kenneth Okonkwo is someone I greatly admire. I particularly love his nature of outspokenness especially when it concerns issues of National importance.

    But his recent vituperative outburst against the person and the office of the Governor of my dear State on Arise TV is NOT acceptable. You cannot, in any guise, insult a sitting Governor of a any state not to talk of a State like Akwa Ibom.

    Voicing out your displeasure on the defection of the Governor to APC shouldn’t come with such an insulting, abusive and denigrating words like “transgenderic governor”.

    We therefore ask that you immediately retract such statements.

    We demand an apology for such utterance.

    You may not like a president or a Governor but as long as he /she occupies that seat at the material time you must not throw in insults. You can criticize but not insult.

  • A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL
    PART 8
    The apartment was dark, the air thick with the smell of stale tears and untouched meals. Grace had been lying on the cold floor for hours, her body weak, her mind drowning in regret. The phone, now silent, lay just inches from her limp fingers—the last connection to the family she had pushed away.
    Outside, the rain poured heavily, tapping against the window like desperate fingers trying to wake her.
    But Grace didn’t stir.
    Michael sat at the dining table in their home, staring at his untouched dinner. Sarah, Daniel, and little Joy were unusually quiet, their eyes downcast.
    "Dad," Sarah whispered, her voice trembling. "What if something’s wrong with Mom?"
    Michael’s chest tightened. He had called Grace a dozen times. Sent messages. Begged. But there had been no response.
    Not even a "leave me alone."
    Just silence.
    Too much silence.
    Daniel, always the observant one, spoke up. "What if she’s sick? Or… or hurt?"
    Michael’s hands clenched into fists. He had tried to respect Grace’s space, to give her time. But this—this silence—was different.
    Something was wrong.
    He stood abruptly, grabbing his car keys. "We’re going to check on her."
    The drive to Grace’s apartment felt like the longest of Michael’s life. The children sat in tense silence, their small hands gripping the seats.
    When they arrived, Michael knocked—once, twice, three times.
    No answer.
    His heart pounded. "Grace!" he called, banging harder. "Grace, open the door!"
    Still nothing.
    Panic clawed at his throat. He turned to the building supervisor, who, after seeing the fear in Michael’s eyes, quickly unlocked the door.
    The sight that greeted them shattered Michael’s heart.
    Grace lay crumpled on the floor, her skin pale, her lips cracked. Tears had dried on her cheeks, her eyes swollen from crying.
    "Mom!" Sarah screamed, rushing forward.
    Michael was at Grace’s side in an instant, lifting her frail body into his arms. She was burning up, her breathing shallow.
    "Call an ambulance!" he barked, his voice raw with fear.
    Little Joy burst into tears, clinging to Daniel as they watched their father cradle their mother, his own tears falling onto her face.
    "Grace," Michael whispered, pressing his forehead to hers. "I’m here. We’re *all* here."
    The sterile white lights of the hospital buzzed overhead as doctors and nurses moved around Grace’s unconscious form.
    "Severe dehydration," one doctor said. "Extreme stress. Her body just… shut down."
    Michael sat by her bedside, his large hand wrapped around Grace’s small one. The children hovered close, their eyes wide with fear.
    Sarah, trying to be strong, wiped her tears and held Joy’s hand. "She’s gonna be okay," she whispered, more to herself than anyone else.
    Daniel, ever the quiet thinker, stared at his mother’s face. "Why didn’t she call us?" he asked softly.
    Michael swallowed hard. "Because she thought we didn’t want her anymore."
    The words hung heavy in the air.
    Grace’s eyelids fluttered open hours later, her vision blurry.
    The first thing she saw was Michael’s exhausted face, his stubble rough, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep.
    Then—Sarah, Daniel, Joy. All staring at her with a mix of relief and lingering hurt.
    Grace’s breath hitched.
    They came for me.
    Tears welled in her eyes, spilling over as shame crashed into her. She tried to speak, but her voice cracked. "I—I’m sorry…"
    Michael squeezed her hand gently. "Shhh. Don’t talk."
    Joy, unable to hold back any longer, climbed onto the bed and buried her face in Grace’s neck. "Don’t leave us again, Mama," she sobbed.
    Grace’s arms—weak as they were—wrapped around her baby, holding her tight. Sarah and Daniel joined, their warmth seeping into Grace’s cold bones.
    Michael leaned down, pressing a kiss to Grace’s forehead. "We never stopped loving you," he murmured. "We never *will*."
    Grace closed her eyes, letting their love wash over her. For the first time in months, the storm inside her stilled.
    Recovery was slow but steady.
    Michael took time off work, refusing to leave Grace’s side. The children took turns reading to her, bringing her favorite foods, filling the hospital room with laughter and life.
    One evening, as Grace sat propped up in bed, Michael handed her a cup of tea—just the way she liked it. Two sugars, a splash of milk.
    She smiled weakly. "You remembered."
    Michael sat beside her, his voice soft. "I remember everything, Grace."
    A pause. Then—
    "Pastor Gideon never came, did he?"
    Grace’s smile faded. She shook her head.
    Michael’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t press. Instead, he pulled her closer. "You don’t need him. You have us"
    And for the first time, Grace believed it.
    As the days passed, Grace’s strength returned—not just physically, but emotionally.
    The panic attacks lessened. The nightmares faded.
    Because every time she woke in fear, Michael was there to hold her.
    Every time she doubted, Sarah was there to remind her, "We love you, Mom."
    Every time guilt threatened to swallow her, Daniel would slip his hand into hers, silent but steady.
    And Joy—her baby—would climb into her lap and whisper, "You’re my favorite person in the whole world."
    Grace had spent months believing she was alone.
    But her family had never left.
    Not really.
    The storm has passed now comes the sunrise

    A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL PART 8 The apartment was dark, the air thick with the smell of stale tears and untouched meals. Grace had been lying on the cold floor for hours, her body weak, her mind drowning in regret. The phone, now silent, lay just inches from her limp fingers—the last connection to the family she had pushed away. Outside, the rain poured heavily, tapping against the window like desperate fingers trying to wake her. But Grace didn’t stir. Michael sat at the dining table in their home, staring at his untouched dinner. Sarah, Daniel, and little Joy were unusually quiet, their eyes downcast. "Dad," Sarah whispered, her voice trembling. "What if something’s wrong with Mom?" Michael’s chest tightened. He had called Grace a dozen times. Sent messages. Begged. But there had been no response. Not even a "leave me alone." Just silence. Too much silence. Daniel, always the observant one, spoke up. "What if she’s sick? Or… or hurt?" Michael’s hands clenched into fists. He had tried to respect Grace’s space, to give her time. But this—this silence—was different. Something was wrong. He stood abruptly, grabbing his car keys. "We’re going to check on her." The drive to Grace’s apartment felt like the longest of Michael’s life. The children sat in tense silence, their small hands gripping the seats. When they arrived, Michael knocked—once, twice, three times. No answer. His heart pounded. "Grace!" he called, banging harder. "Grace, open the door!" Still nothing. Panic clawed at his throat. He turned to the building supervisor, who, after seeing the fear in Michael’s eyes, quickly unlocked the door. The sight that greeted them shattered Michael’s heart. Grace lay crumpled on the floor, her skin pale, her lips cracked. Tears had dried on her cheeks, her eyes swollen from crying. "Mom!" Sarah screamed, rushing forward. Michael was at Grace’s side in an instant, lifting her frail body into his arms. She was burning up, her breathing shallow. "Call an ambulance!" he barked, his voice raw with fear. Little Joy burst into tears, clinging to Daniel as they watched their father cradle their mother, his own tears falling onto her face. "Grace," Michael whispered, pressing his forehead to hers. "I’m here. We’re *all* here." The sterile white lights of the hospital buzzed overhead as doctors and nurses moved around Grace’s unconscious form. "Severe dehydration," one doctor said. "Extreme stress. Her body just… shut down." Michael sat by her bedside, his large hand wrapped around Grace’s small one. The children hovered close, their eyes wide with fear. Sarah, trying to be strong, wiped her tears and held Joy’s hand. "She’s gonna be okay," she whispered, more to herself than anyone else. Daniel, ever the quiet thinker, stared at his mother’s face. "Why didn’t she call us?" he asked softly. Michael swallowed hard. "Because she thought we didn’t want her anymore." The words hung heavy in the air. Grace’s eyelids fluttered open hours later, her vision blurry. The first thing she saw was Michael’s exhausted face, his stubble rough, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep. Then—Sarah, Daniel, Joy. All staring at her with a mix of relief and lingering hurt. Grace’s breath hitched. They came for me. Tears welled in her eyes, spilling over as shame crashed into her. She tried to speak, but her voice cracked. "I—I’m sorry…" Michael squeezed her hand gently. "Shhh. Don’t talk." Joy, unable to hold back any longer, climbed onto the bed and buried her face in Grace’s neck. "Don’t leave us again, Mama," she sobbed. Grace’s arms—weak as they were—wrapped around her baby, holding her tight. Sarah and Daniel joined, their warmth seeping into Grace’s cold bones. Michael leaned down, pressing a kiss to Grace’s forehead. "We never stopped loving you," he murmured. "We never *will*." Grace closed her eyes, letting their love wash over her. For the first time in months, the storm inside her stilled. Recovery was slow but steady. Michael took time off work, refusing to leave Grace’s side. The children took turns reading to her, bringing her favorite foods, filling the hospital room with laughter and life. One evening, as Grace sat propped up in bed, Michael handed her a cup of tea—just the way she liked it. Two sugars, a splash of milk. She smiled weakly. "You remembered." Michael sat beside her, his voice soft. "I remember everything, Grace." A pause. Then— "Pastor Gideon never came, did he?" Grace’s smile faded. She shook her head. Michael’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t press. Instead, he pulled her closer. "You don’t need him. You have us" And for the first time, Grace believed it. As the days passed, Grace’s strength returned—not just physically, but emotionally. The panic attacks lessened. The nightmares faded. Because every time she woke in fear, Michael was there to hold her. Every time she doubted, Sarah was there to remind her, "We love you, Mom." Every time guilt threatened to swallow her, Daniel would slip his hand into hers, silent but steady.

  • A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL
    PART 7
    The apartment was silent except for the relentless ticking of the clock on the wall.
    Grace sat on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone. The screen displayed the same notifications she had been ignoring for weeks:
    - 14 Missed Calls from Michael
    - 23 Unread Messages from Sarah
    - 5 Voicemails
    Her finger hovered over the screen, trembling.
    What if they hate me?
    What if it’s too late?
    A part of her was still clinging to Pastor Gideon’s words—"They abandoned you. The church is your family now."
    But the pastor hadn’t called. Hadn’t visited. Hadn’t even replied to her last desperate text.
    The truth was creeping in, slow and suffocating.
    She had been used.
    Grace dialed Pastor Gideon’s number for the fifth time that day.
    It went straight to voicemail.
    Again.
    Her chest tightened. She scrolled through their past messages—all her pleas for spiritual guidance, for comfort, for anything—left on read.
    The last message he had sent was over three weeks ago:
    "Sister Grace, your sacrifice has been noted in heaven. God will reward you in due time."
    Then—nothing.
    Grace’s breath came in shallow gasps as she stared at the church’s social media page. There was Pastor Gideon, smiling in a sleek new suit, standing beside a luxury car, captioned:
    "Blessed beyond measure! Thank you, Lord, for your provision!"
    Her money.
    Her house.
    Her life.
    All turned into his trophies.
    A sob tore from her throat.
    With shaking hands, Grace finally tapped on Sarah’s messages.
    The first one was from two months ago:
    "Mom, please call me. I miss you."
    Then, a week later:
    "Dad cries every night. Why won’t you talk to us?"
    The most recent one, sent just three days ago:
    "Joy keeps asking for you. She thinks you don’t love her anymore. Please, Mom… just say something."
    Grace’s vision blurred.
    She hadn’t known.
    She hadn’t let herself know.
    Her fingers moved on their own, opening Michael’s voicemails.
    His voice—rough with emotion—filled the room.
    "Grace… it’s me."
    A pause. A shaky breath.
    "The kids… they’re not okay. Sarah had a nightmare last night and called out for you. I didn’t know what to tell her."
    Another pause.
    "I don’t know what that pastor told you, but… I never stopped loving you. I never wanted this divorce. I just… I just didn’t know how to fix things."
    A muffled sound—was he crying?
    "Grace, please. If you ever loved us… just come home."
    The message ended.
    Grace sat frozen.
    Then—
    A second voicemail played automatically.
    Sarah’s voice, small and broken:
    "Mom… it’s my birthday today. You forgot. Dad tried to make it special, but… it’s not the same. I just want you here."*
    A third voicemail.
    Joy, her baby, whispering through tears:
    "Mama… come back. I’ll be good. I promise."
    Grace couldn’t breathe.
    The room spun.
    Her chest burned as if someone had reached inside and ripped her heart out.
    What have I done?
    What have I DONE?
    She stumbled to her feet, gasping, her hands clutching at her chest.
    The walls closed in.
    The phone slipped from her fingers.
    Darkness swallowed her vision.
    The last thing she heard was the sound of her own body hitting the floor.

  • 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SOMEONE FOR MARRIAGE

    1. HOW THEY HANDLE CORRECTION.

    Marriage will require a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning. If the person is not teachable, marriage will be a challenge.

    2. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THEY DON'T GET WHAT THEY WANT.

    If someone cannot handle disappointments, or they always want things to go their way, that will be a difficult spouse.

    3. HOW THEY ACT AROUND THE OPPOSITE GENDER.

    They are in a relationship but act & behave like they are single & open. Someone who gets overly excited around the opposite gender sometimes to the point of forgetting you even exist or wants to entertain and please others, will bring you unnecessary trouble.

    4. HOW THEY ACT WHEN ANGRY.

    Anger is a normal human emotion, but how you control it or how it controls you will determine if you're ready for marriage or you need serious help. Does the person become insulting, violent, threatening and rude when angry; or do they control their temper? Marriage will bring some reasons to be angry here and there; can they handle it?

    5. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT SEX.

    If they get uncomfortable when the conversation is about sex or they get overly lustful; your marriage will have trouble. Marriage should be with someone open about sex conversations and also someone who sees it as something special in marriage.

    6. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS NOT ABOUT SEX.

    Does the person tune off or show no interest when you talk about other topics? That person is only interested in sex, not a long term bond with you. Be careful!

    7. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU CAN'T GIVE TIME.

    If there are moments you can't answer the persons phone call because you're in a meeting, function or can't reply immediately to their messages but you get back to them when you're done, does the person understand; or become controlling and insecure, wanting to micromanage your time? You are safe with someone who understands there are other parts and roles in your life that need your attention.

    8. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GOD.

    If the person avoids God talk, they will not raise with you the Godly family you are praying for. Quote me anywhere, no marriage can enjoy the blessings that comes with marriage if they take away the one who instituted marriage out of the equation.

    9. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A TOUGH MOMENT.

    When you are having a bad day, when you are in trouble, does the person console you, comfort you and encourage you; or do they avoid your tough moments, are they emotionally unavailable and belittle your feelings. A good spouse cares.

    10. HOW THEY ACT AROUND PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY AND LESS MONEY.

    There are partners who only wants to be with you when it is rosy & all sunshine. When the going gets tough, they run away and look for a new spark. If the person treats people based on their financial status, be careful. You could be about to get married to an opportunist. A good person is consistent in how he/she handles people of different status.
