    Stop hanging around the airport building, it doesn't change your level. Get on board! I still check today, what will Hagin do in this circumstance, from his writings. Get on board. Thank you Jesus. Church Gist. He never went on attack against any ministry. I don't know what God sent Him. He is answerable to God, not to me. I am not set up as a judge, I am on an errand. Praise God. I heard Him say, "Don't bother to reply your critics, I don't bother to reply my critics. Just get on board, keep going. Keep going to where you are sent." Can I hear your Amen. Church Gist. That is what it means to get on board.

    What do they do in this commission, that I am not doing? Recently, I saw that we started Creativity Promotion Fund in Kaduna to help people to have something positive doing. Creativity Promotion Fund. It began in Kaduna '85. Church Gist. We are on the way to help at all times, through various means. Up till now, a percentage of our income, globally, is committed to welfare. When you hear they ministered to 30,000 people, it is from it. You hear that there is natural disaster somewhere and they push in resources to alleviate the suffering of the people, it is from it.

    This ministry is a tithing ministry, as small as it is. Somebody's story has changed, in the Name of Jesus. Get on board. Because by their fruits, you shall know them. Matthew 7:20. Get on board. The company you keep, is a vital factor in determining what awaits you. Get on board. Possessing a breakthrough mentality is key to commanding supernatural breakthroughs in the adventure of life. As far as your eyes can see, unto you will I give it. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You have a breakthrough heritage in Christ, let it come from your mentality. Church Gist. Remember the overcomers' mentality. That means, whatever is born of God overcomes the world. So possess an overcomers' mentality.

    Be reminded that every challenge among us is to bring out the champion in us. I don't know how many are challenged today in one area or another, the champion in you is coming out. Proverbs 27:21. Every champion today is a fruit of the challenges they overcame. You are coming out!

    In 1 Peter 1:6-7, our trial of faith is to bring out the gold in us. The treasures in us, the precious things in us. And when He has tried me, Job said, I shall come forth as gold.

    - Your trial today, God is turning them to triumph. Today is your day of escape. As the oil comes on you, it turns your trials to testimony.

    Remember also, that no one soars as an eagle with a grasshopper's mentality. We are in our own eyes as grasshoppers, so they lost out. Numbers 13:30-33. Church Gist. Can I have you say with me, 'Every dim soul, is a potential star. But one cannot imagine a star with a mediocre's mentality.' Revelation 22:16. You have been sent, I have been sent as a star. Let that become your new mentality.

    I am not redeemed a struggler, I am redeemed a light of my world, to shine forth where things are down. Church Gist. Prophetic blessings trigger breakthroughs.

    - Every blessing declared over you today will culminate into blessing in your life.

    Melchizedek proclaimed a blessing on Abraham and the blessing began to speak and is still speaking till now. The blessings being proclaimed on you today will keep speaking in your life. Prophetic blessings here connotes blessings proclaimed that are in line with Scriptures.For example, all your labour in the vineyard since the year began, shall be openly rewarded and you shall be scaling new heights from this time forward. Why? If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures. Job 36:11. Matthew 6:33. Habakkuk 3:18-19. So when that Word is proclaimed in line with Scriptures, you have committed God to confirm it.

    - In the Name of Jesus, every blessing proclaimed on you today shall be confirmed with speed.

    As I close, blessings are released on a 2 channel basis, faith from the source of the proclaimer and faith on the path of the recipient. Church Gist. Every blessing proclaimed is released according to your faith. The blessing is released, but your faith is required to receive those blessings.

    Mark 6:5-6. Please note, that Amen is not what releases the blessing but faith in the Word to which you are saying Amen to. Faith in the Word. Now, for everyone serving God in this Church, the Word says, all these things that others are dying to get shall be added to you. Therefore, welcome to your realm of favour. Church Gist. Nothing flies like favour in the Kingdom of light. Favour brought Joseph out of the prison, to the palace overnight.

    - In the Name of Jesus, the favour that attends to them that serve Him is released upon your life today.

    You belong to the breakthrough family of Jesus. The least among us is ordained to be greater than the greatest in the Old Testament. Therefore, I decree that the Daniel in you comes forth, the Isaac in you comes alive, the Abraham in you comes to light, the Peter in your comes alive in the Name of Jesus.

    - I decree God's hand upon the works of your hand in the Name of Jesus.
    - For every point of contact you brought, I decree an encounter with God that will open new chapters.
    - Nothing fails in your hand again. You will never be at the same spot again. A new day dawns on your life today in the Name of Jesus.
    - Breakthrough on every side. Breakthrough at home. Breakthrough at work. Breakthrough in your children's lives. Breakthrough in your going out and coming in. It shall be breakthrough news from henceforth. Your new era package will start speaking. This operation will be a launch to your next level and so shall it be. Give the Lord a big hand of praise. Thank you Jesus.

    DATE: THURSDAY JULY 24TH 2025

    TOPIC: ANOINT AND PRAY OVER YOUR CHILDREN

    MEMORISE:
    "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” - (Joel 2:28)

    READ: 1 SAMUEL 16:12-13 (KJV)

    12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.

    13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

    MESSAGE:

    Parents cannot raise their children all by themselves. This is because many other factors are involved in a child's destiny that parents cannot control. Some of these factors include the environment where their children are growing up, the people they interact with, their genetic makeup, and even spiritual forces that surround their entire family and the children in particular. This is why, beyond all the things that parents do physically to raise their children, they must also pray for them regularly and seek God's help to raise them correctly. Parents must also anoint and pray over their children regularly to protect them from evil forces.

    In the short time that I have spent on the earth, I have seen the enemy work all manners of evil in the lives of children. Many times, some parents heap blames on their children for lacking focus, being unserious, or being lazy when they do not succeed, especially in their academics. They get frustrated that they are spending so much money on them without good results. They may not know that there might be forces of darkness that are hindering the child's progress. It is possible for a student to study very hard and just blank out in the examination hall. There was a case at the University of Lagos some years ago where, right in the examination hall, a young man just began to urinate non-stop. There was some pandemonium, and those around him began to call an ambulance. However, he told them that this was not the case for the doctor and that they should call his pastor instead. His pastor prayed for him, and he was healed.

    The anointing sets a child apart for greatness. Although David was destined to be the king of Israel, that destiny did not find expression until he was anointed. After he was anointed, the Bible says that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward (1 Samuel 16:13). In the very next chapter, he killed the Philistine giant, Goliath, and became a national figure (1 Samuel 17:48-51). If you are a parent, speak God's counsel over your children and anoint them regularly. Let them know that they belong to God and that anyone who touches them touches the apple of God's eye (Zechariah 2:8). I pray that God will protect every child from the attacks of the enemy, in Jesus' name.

    KEY POINT:
    Anointing and praying over children regularly protects them from the devil's plans and sets them apart for greatness.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 35-37

    AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE

    HYMNAL: 16 - 'TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

    1 ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just to take Him at His word;
    Just to rest upon His promise;
    Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.

    Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
    How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
    Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
    O for grace to trust Him more.

    2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just to trust His cleansing blood;
    Just in simple faith to plunge me,
    ’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.

    3 Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just from sin and self to cease;
    Just from Jesus simply taking
    Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.

    4 I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
    Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
    And I know that Thou art with me,
    Wilt be with me to the end.

  • *GIVE UP, TO GET UP - MUYIWA AFOLABI MOTIVATION*

    Life generally is about trade-offs. For anything you want, you must be willing to sacrifice for it. There is nothing really free I tell you.

    Many today want better quality of life, more income, more time, better living standards, health, peace, happiness, security, friendships and quality relationships. These are all good things that of course would bring satisfaction and fulfilment. But the truth is they all come with a price tag.

    You see, you can’t have it all without giving up something; you can’t eat your cake and have it. You must be willing to give something to get something. That’s the way life is.

    Look at your life right now, what do you really want? What is that thing you’ll get that would really make you happy and satisfied?

    You see, it’s important we correctly define what we actually want. If we are not very clear on what we want, we may end up chasing the wrong thing and becoming frustrated if eventually that thing does not bring the joy and satisfaction desired.

    Many today confuse means with ends, processes with accomplishments, accesses with destinations, association with relationships. They can’t really tell the difference; unfortunately they still end up frustrated.

    For example, money is not an end; it’s a means to an end. Many confuse these two ideals. Money itself is nothing without an end in mind or a defined purpose for it. I’ve heard many people say I want to be rich, very rich and they are willing to work very hard to get money. Eventually when they become well off, they are still unhappy and frustrated because they mistook money for an acquisition that would bring happiness, but money doesn’t really bring happiness and satisfaction, it is when it is used for a well pre-defined purpose that it brings satisfaction and real peace. When you spend money carelessly just to acquire unnecessary material things and for selfish ends, it makes you unhappy. There is what is called buyer remorse – a bad feeling that comes after buying something you realize you never really needed. Hence, you find a lot of rich frustrated people acting in lawlessness, oppressing and intimidating the so called less privilege. This is simply because they really don’t understand what money means and its real purpose. Tragically the cash then becomes a curse
    Position in career is 100% about responsibility. It’s about what you should be doing and accomplishing. It’s about the role and function of the office. What does that office exist for? Why was it created? What are the nature, quality and degree of value expected from the position? What should the person in that position have the capacity to generate and contribute?


    Another example is confusing association with relationships. A good, rewarding relationship must be well defined from the start. When people begin to associate without defining the reason and the essence, it most often ends up in crisis and hurt. Association without definition is not a relationship because all relationships must be well defined. When an association is well defined, then it becomes a relationship. An association may have a name tag and yet not be well defined. For example ‘we’re friends’ is an association tag but the relationship is yet to be defined. This is because there a different kinds of friendships. If the parties involved don’t define clearly this friendship, it’s crisis waiting to happen. For every association you must have a purpose and a definition. This definition will entail the details of your own responsibilities and expectations and the other party must also share the same picture in details as far as the relationship is concerned, this is when there can be real fulfilment and satisfaction in the relationship.

    In career, many confuse position with power. In fact many can’t tell the difference between the purpose of a position and the purpose of the power tied to the position.

    Position in career is 100% about responsibility. It’s about what you should be doing and accomplishing. It’s about the role and function of the office. What does that office exist for? Why was it created? What are the nature, quality and degree of value expected from the position? What should the person in that position have the capacity to generate and contribute
    Positions generally are about work and responsibility, every position created in a company is for work to be done there. Now if the occupant of that position thinks more about hierarchy, levels, control, respect and class and can hardly see the work in the position as the main thing, there is going to be ineffectiveness and work crisis.

    Such a one would be distracted and self-conscious, the work would cease to be priority and non- value-adding office matters would he prioritize.

    Be it money, relationship or a high position in career, happiness and satisfaction would elude us after attaining, if our motives and intentions are wrongly defined.

    Your motivation for a particular position or office in career should be primarily about the purpose of the office. You must be driven by a will to contribute through the office to the overall success of the business. You must come up with your strategies and plans on how to improve the capacity and value adding potentials of the office. You must be excited about engaging your creativity in making the office or position outstanding performance wise – setting new records, innovations and superior output.

    It should never be about how many people now report to you, the size and beauty of your office, your official cars, perks and other benefits tied to the office. It should never be about power tussle, who rules, who controls and who’s in charge, it shouldn’t be about having your way and imposing your decision on everybody and the system in general.

    You must be seen as gentle, reliable, self-controlled, thoughtful, considerate and a good listener. Because when you invest too much energy dealing with people instead of focusing on your responsibility and productivity, you’ll eventually malfunction
    Never let anything you want be absolutely about yourself, your wants and your needs, let it be about a more encompassing reason. Get money for a good reason; gun for a position in your career for a reason bigger than you. Make sacrifices, give up selfish benefits and delay your gratification for the overall purpose and good of your enterprise. I assure you it’s never a loss; you will definitely gain it back.

    Everything in life is paid for, if you don’t give up something for anything, it will not bring you any satisfaction or fulfilment. What you take, you can lose but what you earn remains yours.

    Don’t join the band wagon of self-centred people – those that crave for instant benefits and instant gratification; take a good look around for people like that, they always loose out at the end; lonely, rejected and irrelevant. But people that sacrifice for a great purpose and for others always reap good reward at the end of the day, in cash, in friendships, relationships, in relevance, respect and heroism. Their names and deeds are never forgotten

    You may not be required to sacrifice as much as Nelson Mandela had to, Just your little bit in your own little corner, catch the spirit.

Be it money, relationship or a high position in career, happiness and satisfaction would elude us after attaining, if our motives and intentions are wrongly defined. Your motivation for a particular position or office in career should be primarily about the purpose of the office. You must be driven by a will to contribute through the office to the overall success of the business. You must come up with your strategies and plans on how to improve the capacity and value adding potentials of the office. You must be excited about engaging your creativity in making the office or position outstanding performance wise – setting new records, innovations and superior output. It should never be about how many people now report to you, the size and beauty of your office, your official cars, perks and other benefits tied to the office. It should never be about power tussle, who rules, who controls and who’s in charge, it shouldn’t be about having your way and imposing your decision on everybody and the system in general. You must be seen as gentle, reliable, self-controlled, thoughtful, considerate and a good listener. Because when you invest too much energy dealing with people instead of focusing on your responsibility and productivity, you’ll eventually malfunction Never let anything you want be absolutely about yourself, your wants and your needs, let it be about a more encompassing reason. Get money for a good reason; gun for a position in your career for a reason bigger than you. Make sacrifices, give up selfish benefits and delay your gratification for the overall purpose and good of your enterprise. I assure you it’s never a loss; you will definitely gain it back. Everything in life is paid for, if you don’t give up something for anything, it will not bring you any satisfaction or fulfilment. What you take, you can lose but what you earn remains yours. Don’t join the band wagon of self-centred people – those that crave for instant benefits and instant gratification; take a good look around for people like that, they always loose out at the end; lonely, rejected and irrelevant. But people that sacrifice for a great purpose and for others always reap good reward at the end of the day, in cash, in friendships, relationships, in relevance, respect and heroism. Their names and deeds are never forgotten You may not be required to sacrifice as much as Nelson Mandela had to, Just your little bit in your own little corner, catch the spirit.

  • Most people know me as Mr. Ibu’s adopted daughter. But what they don’t know is how that bond came to be. My biological father was a soldier and a very close friend to Mr. Ibu. A brave man. But he passed away when I was still very young. That’s when Mr. Ibu stepped in — took me under his wing, raised me, loved me like I was his own blood.

    He sent me to school, supported me, and when the time came, I travelled to Cyprus to further my studies. Life went on.

    Then in 2020, I received a strange message on WhatsApp. It read, “Please, help… Daddy needs you.” At first, I thought it was a scam. But something inside me told me to check.

    That’s when I discovered that Mr. Ibu had moved from Abuja to Lagos… and he was suffering. He had nothing — no support, no stable home. Sick, broke, and abandoned.

    Every day, he begged me for money. And I sent what I could. Over and over. Until I got tired and asked, “What exactly is going on, Daddy?”

    When I finally learned how sick he really was — and that nobody, not even family, was taking care of him — I booked a flight back to Nigeria immediately.

    When I saw him, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was a shadow of the man I knew. Thin. Weak. Broken.

    I took him straight to the hospital and cared for him like my own father.

    And it was there, lying on that hospital bed, that he said something that shook me to my core.

    He looked at me and whispered, “Jasmine… they want me dead. That’s the truth. They don’t care about me. They only want my properties. They’re waiting for me to die so they can take everything I worked for.”

    He paused, looked away, and said with pain in his voice, “Even my wife — the woman I called my own — cheated on me. Jasmine, don’t let her come near me. I’ll never trust her again. Even if I die, know this: I never found peace in this world. Not in my marriage… not in my home.”

    Those were his words. His truth. Not rumors. Not gossip.

    The man who made the whole world laugh died with tears in his heart — not just from sickness, but from heartbreak, betrayal, and neglect.

    I was the only one who stood by him when everyone else turned their backs.

    So I ask you — where were those who claimed to love him? Why did they wait until his death to pretend?

    Rest well, Mr. Ibu. Your laughter lives on. Your pain is no longer hidden.

    If this story touched you, drop a candle for late Mr. Ibu.

  • OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

    DATE: THURSDAY JULY 24TH 2025

    TOPIC: ANOINT AND PRAY OVER YOUR CHILDREN

    MEMORISE:
    "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” - (Joel 2:28)

    READ: 1 SAMUEL 16:12-13 (KJV)

    12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.

    13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

    MESSAGE:

    Parents cannot raise their children all by themselves. This is because many other factors are involved in a child's destiny that parents cannot control. Some of these factors include the environment where their children are growing up, the people they interact with, their genetic makeup, and even spiritual forces that surround their entire family and the children in particular. This is why, beyond all the things that parents do physically to raise their children, they must also pray for them regularly and seek God's help to raise them correctly. Parents must also anoint and pray over their children regularly to protect them from evil forces.

    In the short time that I have spent on the earth, I have seen the enemy work all manners of evil in the lives of children. Many times, some parents heap blames on their children for lacking focus, being unserious, or being lazy when they do not succeed, especially in their academics. They get frustrated that they are spending so much money on them without good results. They may not know that there might be forces of darkness that are hindering the child's progress. It is possible for a student to study very hard and just blank out in the examination hall. There was a case at the University of Lagos some years ago where, right in the examination hall, a young man just began to urinate non-stop. There was some pandemonium, and those around him began to call an ambulance. However, he told them that this was not the case for the doctor and that they should call his pastor instead. His pastor prayed for him, and he was healed.

    The anointing sets a child apart for greatness. Although David was destined to be the king of Israel, that destiny did not find expression until he was anointed. After he was anointed, the Bible says that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward (1 Samuel 16:13). In the very next chapter, he killed the Philistine giant, Goliath, and became a national figure (1 Samuel 17:48-51). If you are a parent, speak God's counsel over your children and anoint them regularly. Let them know that they belong to God and that anyone who touches them touches the apple of God's eye (Zechariah 2:8). I pray that God will protect every child from the attacks of the enemy, in Jesus' name.

    KEY POINT:
    Anointing and praying over children regularly protects them from the devil's plans and sets them apart for greatness.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 35-37

    AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE

    HYMNAL: 16 - 'TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

    1 ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just to take Him at His word;
    Just to rest upon His promise;
    Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.

    Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
    How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
    Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
    O for grace to trust Him more.

    2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just to trust His cleansing blood;
    Just in simple faith to plunge me,
    ’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.

    3 Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just from sin and self to cease;
    Just from Jesus simply taking
    Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.

    4 I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
    Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
    And I know that Thou art with me,
    Wilt be with me to the end.
