*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: TUESDAY 3RD JUNE 2025

THEME: *REWRITE YOUR OWN STORY*

MEMORISE
1 Chronicles 4:10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

READ
Psalms 34:1-6
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*All things are possible with God.*

MESSAGE
Everyone has a story of how situations and circumstances have affected their lives. But we all can rewrite our own stories. It doesn't have to end up the way it started.

We don't have to allow negative circumstances to determine our fate.

*You can either choose to become a product of your pain or to make a gain from your pain*

Those who allowed themselves to become products of their pains, end up as bitter people who bleed on those who were never part of their pains.

A wise man once said; "Most people do not loose their lives all at once, they lose it gradually to defeats, disappointment, failures, bad times, etc; one day at a time by allowing unpleasant situations and circumstances define and dictate their lives. One bad day turns into two, two days turn into a story. If you do not confront your bad day, the day will construct a version of you that is smaller than your potential and original destiny from God."

A bad day is a visitor not a resident, you are supposed to be in charge of your life and you determine who stays not the bad issue.

Neuroscience has shown that the human brain wires itself on repetition. If you allow one bad moment to linger beyond the moment, your brain will adjust to it and begins to expect its repetition and continuity.

Gradually your brain becomes loyal to your lowest moments, and if unchecked and unhindered, it becomes your biography, unless you disrupt the pattern and create a new one.

So, interrupt the negative spiral, stop the lifespan of the negative situation.

Never allow a bad day become your life.

You can change the rhythm of your life. You can change your story.

The power is in your mind and in your mouth. Choose what stays in your mind and heart and make your mouth confess only what is in alignment with God's word and purpose for your life. (Philipians 4:8)

Jabez, in today's memory verse, decided to rewrite his own story, and that is why we are yet reading his story today.

In today's text, the writer also had a testimony of a changed life. He sought God and was heard. Some looked up to Him, and their faces were changed, and they knew no shame.

You, too, can rewrite your story today by taking some vital steps of faith in prayer and supplication with fasting.

God is faithful and will turn around your situation for good.

All things are possible with God, give Him a chance in your life today, and you will smile again in Jesus' name.

Shalom, maranatha!

ACTION STEPS
1. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ today and be saved.
2. Take a day off to seek God's face with fasting over that issue.
3. Pray until something happens for good.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, visit the root of every issue of frustration in my life and make me free in Jesus' name.

REMEMBER
*All things are possible with God.*

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

DAILY READING: Ezekiel 17-18, John 14-15.

HYMN
Blessed assurance — Jesus is mine !
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine !
Heir of salvation, purchase of God ;
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long ;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.

2
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture burst on my sight ;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest ;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

PLEASE SHARE.

*God I have no idea where you are taking me but I trust you 🥹 *

*Show us your trust in lord by reacting *

*FACTS OF LlFE👌🏾*

1. Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide.

2. People are not what they say but what they do; so judge them not from their words but from their actions.

3. When someone hurts you, don't feel bad because it's a law of nature that the tree that bears the sweetest fruits gets maximum number of stones.

4. Take whatever you can from your life because when life starts taking from you, it takes even your last breath.

5. In this world, people will always throw stones on the path of your success. It depends on what you make from them - a wall or a bridge.

6. Challenges make life interesting; overcoming them make life meaningful.

7. There is no joy in victory without running the risk of defeat.

8. A path without obstacles leads nowhere.

9. Past is a nice place to visit but certainly not a good place to stay.

10. You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

11. If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, then you haven't done much today.

12. If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs.

13. If you don't climb the mountain; you can't view the plain.

14. Don't leave it idle - use your brain.

15. You are not paid for having brain, you are only rewarded for using it intelligently.

16. It is not what you don't have that limits you; it is what you have but don't know how to use.

17. What you fail to learn might teach you a lesson.

18. The difference between a corrupt person and an honest person is: The corrupt person has a price while the honest person has a value.

19. If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool...... Realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserved.

20. Honesty is an expensive gift; don't expect it from cheap people.

STAY BLESSED

The lord is Good
All the time

Good morning




*Compiled by Hon. Osuji George osujis@yahoo.com, +234-8122200446*

A man 👨🏻walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress 👩🏻‍🍳 asks for their order.

The man 👨🏻 says, *“I’ll have a hamburger , fries , and a coke .”*

He turns to the ostrich and asks, *“What about you?” “I’ll have the same,”* says the ostrich .

A few minutes later , the waitress brings the food and says, “That’ll be $9.40.”

The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change. No counting. No wallet. Just the right amount.

The next day, the same thing happens. Same order. Same ostrich. Same exact change.

This goes on for days .

Then one Friday night , the man says, *“Today I’ll have a steak, baked potato, and a salad .”*

“Same,” says the ostrich.
The waitress brings the food. “That’ll be $32.62.”

Once again, the man 👨🏻 reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact amount.

At this point, the waitress can’t hold back, *“Sir… how do you always have the exact amount of money ? No matter what you order?”*

The man 👨🏻 smiles.
*“Well, a few years ago, I found an old lamp in the attic. I rubbed it, and a Genie appeared. He gave me two wishes. For the first one, I asked that anytime I needed to pay for something, I’d just reach into my pocket and find the exact amount .”*

*“Wow ,”* says the waitress, “That’s smart. You’ll never run out of money .”*

*“Exactly,”* says the man, *“Whether it’s a cup of coffee or a new car, I never need to check. It’s always just there.”*

She looks at the ostrich and asks, *“And the bird ?”*

The man 👨🏻 sighs and says,
*“For my second wish… I asked for a tall chick with long legs 💃🏻 who’d follow me around and agree with everything I say.”*

I am a spirit. I am a child of the father of spirits. I have a soul. And i live in a body.I see to the adorning of the real me -the hidden man of the heart.

I am a spirit. I am a child of the father of spirits. I have a soul. And i live in a body.I see to the adorning of the real me -the hidden man of the heart.

Cancer crashes in uninvited, unyielding—
A ruthless invader turning lives into battlefields.
A tyrant hijacking your body’s blueprint.

It chains some, steals others, twists your own cells into immortal rebels that defy the natural rhythm.

To every warrior in the fight:
Stand unbroken.
Burn the bridges to negativity;
become a torch of the hope you crave.
forge your own light in the chaos.

Your fight needs no explanation—
own your strength.
Your battle needs no apology—
silence the noise.
Clutch victory like a creed.

To those who’ve triumphed:
Soar higher.

Never let a fleeting ache or whisper of doubt resurrect the war you’ve won.

You are not a host to fear anymore—
You are the storm that silenced it.
You are the inferno no darkness can extinguish.

And to those still fighting;

Refuse to be a victim—you’re a wildfire in human skin, burning through every "impossible".

Grip victory like a birthright, not a maybe.

The world waits for your comeback—
and the dark never wins against a soul that refuses to dim.

Breathe.
Fight.
Rise.

The world needs your fire.
Then, conquer fiercely once and for all.

My people, we need to talk about this thing we call stockfish.
I know it’s inside almost every pot of soup—especially for special occasions.
But what if I told you that the stockfish you’re eating today…
Isn’t real food anymore?
Let me break it down:
Stockfish is imported.
To survive the long journey, it’s preserved with strong chemicals like:
—Formalin (yes, the same one used to preserve dead bodies)
—Lye (a corrosive chemical used to clean drains)
—And sometimes ammonia-based compounds
These things are not made for your stomach.
They’re made to stop the fish from rotting during shipping.
But guess what?
Your liver, your womb, and your hormones pay the price.
These chemicals can mimic estrogen in the body.
They disrupt your hormones.
They inflame your gut.
And for women dealing with fibroids—they can make it worse.
So imagine…
You’re fighting fibroids with prayer and surgery—
But feeding it every Sunday with stockfish pepper soup.
And to make it worse?
Stockfish has no real nutrition.
It’s just flavor and obstacle.
No healthy fats. No useful protein. No minerals left after all the processing.
So what are you really gaining?
Nothing—except pain.
It’s time to stop eating food that looks traditional, but acts like poison.
Let go of stockfish.
Your womb, your hormones, and your future self will thank you.
Let’s eat smart.
Let’s heal with food.

FG cautions Abuja car dealer Alamin Sarkinmota for mocking Nigerian civil servants in a promotional video. Details below

FACE REALITY BEFORE IT RUINS YOU.
Nobody cares about your inner beauty at first glance.
You walk into a room, and they’ve already sized you up.
Too fat? Too tired-looking? Unkempt? Next.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” sounds cute—until you realize life is a marketplace, and you are the packaging.
You think your weight doesn’t matter?
It does.
Not because society is fair—because society is predictable.
Fit people get hired faster.
Attractive people get more help, more trust, more yes.
Clean skin, good posture, glowing energy? It screams discipline. It screams value.
You’re over here crying about rejection, but you don’t even look like someone who takes care of themselves.
You think your “good heart” will carry you.
Sweetheart, this is not a Disney movie. This is Lagos. Or life.
Go to the gym? Yes.
But before that—fix your plate.
Weight is lost in the kitchen, not in the overpriced treadmill.
And no, “self-love” is not an excuse to stay inflamed, breathless, and always tired.
You want doors to open?
Make the mirror your ally.
Turn your body into a weapon.
Look like someone who deserves better.
