*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: TUESDAY 8TH JULY 2025

THEME: *GUARD AGAINST DISTRACTION*

MEMORIZE
Matthew 6:22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

READ
Matthew 6:24-26 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Destruction is the end result of distraction*

MESSAGE
Your destiny is very demanding and tasking, requiring all of your time, resources, attention, and focus.
A moment of distraction can sometimes mean life or death. All we have been given is needed to fulfil all we have been called by God to do. We must face the fact that we live in a world that is full of distractions: from television to your hand phone. We need to prioritize our lives and time around our destiny goals always to avoid distraction.

Distractions are not destiny friendly. They are disasters in disguise.

*Satan aims at destruction using distraction as a strategy.*

*Destruction is the end result of distraction.*

This is why you must avoid every form of distraction on your path to fulfilling destiny.

Distractions are side attractions calling for your attention: so many issues are lined up by the enemy of our souls daily to lure us out of the way of life and destiny. And if you care to know, most times, none of them deserves the attention they often steal from us.

Distractions are satanic strategies to make you lose focus on your dreams and destiny. Satan will depend on your response to distraction to destroy all you have laboured for gradually.

Essentially, distractions are strategically designed by Satan to steal your time, energy, resources, and eventually your life in a subtle way.

Beloved, you must fight distractions if you intend to fulfil your goals in life.

When you are being distracted, you end up choosing a different direction from your original direction, the result oftentimes is that, you end up investing all that was meant for profitable ventures into what you now consider as the new goal. All resources are channelled into the new focus. In the end, precious time, energy, resources, and even life are wasted in the wrong direction.

Guard against distraction and save your life.

ACTION STEPS
1. Discover your life's purpose early and stay focused.
2. Stay in the word and make prayers more regular. It helps to fight distraction.
3. Stick to one important goal per time until it is completed.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, restore my heart to you, deliver my heart from wandering away from you, help me to stay focused on my destiny with you in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*Destruction is the end result of distraction*

HYMN
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand ;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.

3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood ;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
On ,may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne !
