*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: TUESDAY 20TH MAY 2025

THEME: *LIVING FROM YOUR ENCOUNTERS.*

MEMORIZE
Acts 26:16
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

READ
Acts 26:13-18
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Divine encounters mature men faster than any form of training in life.*

MESSAGE
We are products of the encounters of our lives. The cumulative impact of the several encounters of our lives define us in so many ways.

Some encounters are good whilst some are bad encounters casting negative influence on us and through our lives.
As negative encounters produce negative influence and consequently negative destinies in people, so also do positive encounters impact on us positively and as a result lead to positive influence on us in one way or another.

However, there are very defining encounters that reveal, introduce and showcases our destinies.
In today's text, the Apostle Paul had a notable encounter that transformed His life and defined his destiny as a preacher all the days of his earthly life. He never recovered from that encounter till he left the world. He lived his whole meaningful life from the abundance of that encounter. When we remember him today, we remember only the encounter that transformed him from Saul of Tarsus into Paul the Apostle.

Divine encounters are meant to take, mould and define your life and destiny.

*Divine encounters mature men faster than any form of training in life.*

*Pay attention to the encounters that have the power to take and mould your life because you are going to live the rest of your life from that encounter.*

ACTION STEPS
1. Always create time to prayerfully seek God's face for fresh encounters for advancements in your life.
2. Insist on fresh encounters with God through His word and by His Spirit for a new beginning in your life.
3. Keep journals of all your encounters with the LORD.

REMEMBER
*Divine encounters mature men faster than any form of training in life.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, thank you for all the encounters that has added eternal values and graces to my life, may I live to bring you a bumper harvest of glory from my encounters with you in Jesus name. Amen.

HYMN
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give ;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

I surrender all, ... I surrender all ; . . .
All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender
all. . . .

2 All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow ;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken----
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine ;
Let the Holy Spirit witness
I am Thine and Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender :
Lord, I give myself to Thee ;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing rest on me.

5
All to Jesus I surrender :
Now I feel the sacred flame ;
Oh the joy of full salvation !
Glory, glory to His name !
